    The kick connects and Ser Boros is knocked off the square.

    "But...why dragon?" he stammers, feeling conlicted.

    "I once hunted for your kind on my father's lands...I don't deserve your mercy and...a knight is meant to die for others...dragon..."

    Ser Boros seems near tears.

    'Because you are my friend, and I will not condemn you to death. I only ask that you kill Sora and smear this... Treasure Hall... she seeks with her lifeblood. It is her who has done this, not you.'

    Retula climbs the stairs, poking her beholder hand around the jamb to double check whether Sarric is in any danger before stepping out. It's at this moment she realises that she's never tried to see through the eye before. For that matter, she checks her fingernails to see if they've grown, it's been at least a month. Hang on, weren't we doing something importa- ****! "Uh..Iuric, to might wanna.." kerzapp! "...never mind!"

    She walks out behind the paladin, sheepishly but quietly.

    OOC: That was instant death if failed


    Iuric tilts his head just in time, the beam flying past him and disintegrating one of the slab victims.

    "I require a day to recharge that" the beholder sighs "Your biology is semidivine, would have made a good addition to the collection, but no matter"
    "To attack without warning is... is..." cough "I trust that is the end of this or" Iuric draws Durandal.

    "Then I must not tarry..."

    He clenches his fist.

    "...for too long I have refused my birthright. I have not being willing to fully let go and show no mercy. My family are monster slayers. It may seem funny, but I was raised to earn my place by saving a princess in a nearby land from a dragon who held her captive. And yet now I see it is a princess who is the monster and a dragon who is my friend"

    He hugs Vrakrash, then stands and places the helm of his armour shut over his face.

    "I promise you she will die this day...may the immortals of Mystara watch over you, he who saved mine own life"

    He pounds off down the corridor and leaps into the water, powerful muscles carrying him upward until he too disappears.

    Vrakrash does not have long until the waters consume him.

    "It is...no need to worry" the beholder smirks.

    "Backup?"

    If Retula's face weren't already, she would go white.
    She looks for a shadow to hide in, using her own and a series of minor illusions if necessary, and tries to get past this room.

    "It's not 100%, no. Also I can only grow the clones with so much power, trying to give them all you have has a heavy risk of mutation. Although if it is a risk you are willing to take..." he says the last part high pitched, obviously hoping somebody is willing to take it.

    She makes it past and reaches a small arch on the other side of the room. It leads down a pitch black tunnel.

    Vrakrash does not have long until the waters consume him.

    Vrakrash rolls over, not moving from the square and pulls the resurrection scroll from his pack.

    OOC: The one the spider gave him, for clarity

    As the waters begin to consume him, he reads the scroll. As he says the last word, he rolls off the square.

    OOC: Jesus I hope this works!

    "One life is enough with these memories" Iuric looks up "And I need to face what's coming after, so I will do without your services"

    The square super heats the entire corridor. Vrakrash is incinerated almost instantly. He feels no pain.

    He wakes in field with Citra.

    "My son, so soon? The tower is harsh...Ursula is somebody even I didn't go near for that reason. Good thing she wasn't evil, just bastard neutral!" she laughs.

    "Anyway, you have your father's craftiness. Self resurrection..." she pats him on the head "...See you soon"

    He reappears in the corridor, the water gone.

    He scans Sarric with a blue beam.

    "...Sarrics"

    Karinth steps forward slowly and examined the other Karinths with a look of sorrow on his face.

    She casts Bonfire 30ft away and uses the light to look for colour, then dismissing before anything catches.. If nothing shows up, she gets her shadow to sweep for glyphs, stones sitting proud, tripwires, or signs of delivery vectors (holes and channels in the roof, walls and floor). She laboriously repeats, edging along

    Vrakrash gets to his feet, draws his weapons and heads in the direction Sora and Ser Boros went.

    He pricks the tip of his finger with his spear tip and offers a few drops to the beholder.

    Though there are no glyphs, Retula does notice images on the walls. They depict a series of stylised female figures entering the tower and leaving enlightened. Each figure is one colour of the rainbow.

    This set of images repeats over and over again.

    As Retula nears the end of the tunnel she hears the room a head making a strange sound, as if breathing.

    Vrakrash reaches the hatch that Sora opened without issue.
