"Miss Teamasa, can I ask you a personal question about your magic?" The young noble said to her. She had just woken up and was getting ready for the rest of this dive.
"If it is stupid I will throw acid at you but sure go ahead." She responded.
"Are you a flesh binder? I only ask because I have seen the way you killed that, thing. I thought something was wrong when you controlled those rogues skeletons, but I never thought you were a flesh binder, not until I saw what you did to that monstrosity." He said with a haunted look on his face. It would be clear to anyone in the know about what had happened that he was trying to figure out what he was more afraid of right now. The monster this young woman had killed or the young woman that could kill such a thing.
"I first learned flesh binding to allow myself to walk. I needed to repair my legs after some rich snob decided that a child playing in the street was justification for running her over with his carrige." She said after a moments thought. He had figured out the worst kept secret that she had. Not something she had even tried to keep underwraps or anything like that but still not the type of thing she would flaunt.
Flaunting this was a very good way to find herself on the wrong side of an angry mob. There were entire religious orders that would try to end her for necromancy but for the sin of controlling living flesh, all of them would come for her head. Most on principle alone.
"I want to be useful. I know that I started out wrong with how I went about it but please, I just want to do something. To have something to my name and be known for more then just being my mothers son." He said with a sad look in his eyes.

"What are you good at?" Tea asked after taking drink of water, she was eating a breakfast that had been tested and tested for tampering. They were not taking any chances this late in the game. One mistake would be their last and that was simply unacceptable for all involved.
"I'll just be honest and say that I can not swing a sword to save my life. I suck at magic and would be far more likely to kill myself then what I am aiming at. I also can't aim for shit so a bow is out." He said with a depressed air about him.
"You did out think the trap when we all missed it. Don't be down, you will never succeed at anything if you are always putting yourself down instead of trying to be better then you are now. I am going to let you in on a little secret. You need a sharp mind to make it anywhere in this world." She said as incouragment. Even she had to admit that the snot nosed little brat she had so recently despised had pulled his weight.
"Come on, lets meet up with the others. Just try and help without getting in anyone's way and make sure someone always knows what you are doing. Sure you will come back if you die but it will still hurt like a bitch." She said with a smile on her face.
Sasha had been standing guard for half the night. She could heal away her fatuge and potions would take away the rest of the problems she might face from skipping sleep. She had of course been saving the majority of her strength and only use some of it to help break the abomination. Healing it so that it could not heal properly had slowed it down quite a bit but she was ready for this to be over with. What ever was coming she would be on the front lines soaking up the damage.

For that she would need all the self healing she could spare. What ever was waiting ahead of them they would find soon enough. It probably would not be to much farther until all hell broke loose.
"Hay Tess, what do you think is waiting for us up ahead." She asked her often times silent friend.
"It's probably going to be something nasty. At leas I can stop collapsing tunnels soon."
"Yeah thanks for that by the way. I would not know what we would have done if you hadn't taken care of all those burrowing monsters we never would have been able to rest." She said while looking at her friend out of the corner of her eye.
He had spent so much time and effort killing things in the night. He had dropped stones on the hords that had come for them. Blocked off assults and broken advances. Say you you want but messing with a Druid under ground was one of the dumbest moves imaginable if they knew even the weakest of earth spells. He would be held up by potions for the final stretch of the journey, that was for sure.
"Go and make sure everyone is ready to move out in thirty, we want to put ground between us and this place as soon as possible. It is meant to attract monsters as someone rests here. It also happens to be one of the only places around to rest without setting yourself on fire so there is that." He added after a moments thought.
They had started up the march once again. It did not take much for them to go and find the area that would be the last of this hell march. There it was in bold decor. Built out of only the purest of stone and inlayed with marble the likes of which few had ever seen.
"It's a trap." The Boy said.
Everyone looked at him as if he had said the dumbest thing imaginable. Of course that would be a trap in a place like this.
"No I mean that the way it is so obvious is a trap. It is taunting us into being to cautious. One last spit in the face. I guarantee you that getting in will be far easier then getting out and even going inside will be hell."
At this they paused to look at him. That was a thought they could of all done without. So getting inside would be the test of how bad the trap was. The dungeon wanted them to be confident at breaking through the door only for it to shut behind them and then they would be locked inside with something. Probably toxic in its own way and deffently not anything that you would ever want to meet. All of that to kill them when they could not fight back.
"We tunnel through the walls and break the door at the same time. I want artilery spell to be set up so that the moment we see something coming at us it dies from supressive fire. Seven ways in and all of them loaded for bear. Antidotes in everyone before we start and get me all the healers to fix what ever was done to us when we got to this hallway." Sasha said taking his words at face value. Even if he was wrong it never hurt to be sure before sticking your head in the headsmans way.
