Savage Tide : ECL 8 Cayo Topa olman human necromancer 8: journal entry 5

               After about ten times of lighting a candle and it exploding, I sat down in one of the thrones. Tired and almost out of spells I said: "I think we should rest so I can regain my spells and figure out how to get through these portals." "Nah," Ethel said "how about lighting the candle and sitting in the throne with blood in it?"  I knew that, I just wanted them to think that I didn't know.

          After defeating the beast looking copies of both Ethel and Olan we were able to enter through the glossy black mirrors. We found some more demon monkeys on the other side of the portal. There was a big puddle of blood in the center of the floor. I think that there might be something in the pool, like treasure or gear.

          I was fighting one of those Bar-lguras with my gang of skeletons when one  of them surprised me and grabbed me. The whole room went black. I ran in what seemed to be a corner and cast become bones. I seem to have been teleported into a new room. One with a huge snake like creature in it and bones covering the entire floor. (What a lovely room it was, if I don't say so myself.) I ran to another corner and cast wall of pain. A great strategy since it was a Spirit Naga; in other words a weak snake-like wizard. Its tries to command me were pathetic, along with its spells.(If that's what you call spells.) It controlled my friends and told Olan to kill me. I killed it using real spells and knocked out Olan as well. I didn't want to fight Olan but the Spirit Naga gave me no choice. After a while, Ethel and I came to a agreement not to wake Olan because he was not only trying to kill me but wasting valuable resources. We drug him up to the bone filled room and shut the doors. I will need to raise more powerful skeletons since Olan killed all of them. I feel as though I can trust my party or at least I hope I can.
