"Stop Fighting! This is unnecessary. William can you do something!"
"Back off you bloodly fool!"
William zaps Solomon with the last charge in his wand of slumber, but he's not fast enough to stop the two of them from fighting. Drinks hits Solomon hard with his axe, but Solomon is stronger and hits Drinks hard again, knocking him to 0HP! Drinks has shuffled off his mortal coil and is now an ex-goblin.
Drinks is now the second casualty of the GAL and this apparently extremely dangerous dungeon. Solomon, stunned by the sleep spell, slumps back to the floor and reels in confusion.
Back upstairs, Walks decides to get the hell out of here.
"What is done is done. Don't beat yourself up about it, but try to do better in the future. Perhaps you could at least mention that the pool isn't safe to swim in, next time?"
Her advice is met with renewed howls of sorrow from the little ferryman.
"But... Why would anyone - .... Oh never mind. It honestly never occurred to us that anyone would ever WANT to try swimming in that disgusting pool. Seemed like overkill to actually warn folk. But hey ho, now we know."
"Also, do you think you could ferry me across, please? I will pay with the ring, if it is all the same to you."
<sigh> "Hold on. Lucky for you I can paddle this thing myself!"
The ferryman paddles over, accepts Walks's ring in payment and gives her a Return Ferry Ticket in exchange.
"I'm going to assume I don't need to tell you to keep your hands INSIDE the raft."
Walks finally reaches the far bank. Cautiously, she moves into the next area....
And finds herself clear of the dungeon! A little path leads onwards to the Druidess's hut, where she should be able to finally get the supplies they came here for!
--------------------------------------------
@Quarg / Patdragon: If you guys particularly want to visit the druidess, you'll need to cross the pond as well.
@All: If you want to hang around and deal with any unfinished business in this particular dungeon (e.g. making a safe path for other GAL members) you are very welcome to do so.
