Ouch!
Bicor's begin moving in a blur the black steel of her sais creating a virtual shadow in front of her.

Bicor feints to the left then to the right! She twirls the sais in a distracting simple manner.
With an amazing spin Bicor leaps into the air and comes down with flashing sais.
Marlak blocks Bicor's sais with a swirling flourish of his bardiche and counters with a kick to the elf's face.
A trickle of blood escapes Bicor's nose. "Nice shot, Marlak" Then she moves to the north door and opens it.
Marlak bows to Bicor and follows him to the north door.

Cracks in the walls and ceiling of this chamber have allowed rainwater to collect here, flooding the room and giving rise to a profusion of mold and fungus along the walls and ceiling.
As Bicor enters the room she is hit square in the face with the tongue of a giant frog. The tongue grabs her and pulls her towards the hungry creatures jaws.
"Achphfmph! muffles the monk. "Nphy nphy sphnky tongmph!" She tries to break the tongue's grasp of her with a (mostly) mighty heave.
Marlak unstoppers the flask containing his mutagen and drinks it all down. Pain wracks his body as his musculature doubles in size, yet the experience has dulled his wits, for the time being. He slowly approaches the spot where Bicor used to be.
Alduin slides by Marlak, and hurries to attack the frog's tongue. "Prepare to hold your breath Bicor."
Bicor's steps up to the frog and slams it with the flat side of her sais.
"Let go, let go let go."
Marlak strikes at the enormous amphibian, but misses.
"Let go, let go, let go, the elf repeats.
Alduin lends a clever grin even in spite of the frog-spit and grows twice his size before bringing his falchion down on the frog.
"KiYeaaaw!"
"Bicooor... Chop!"
"Poo! Bicor curses while wiping the shrapnel from her clothes. She uses some of the puddles to help clean off the gore. When she is finished she points to the door they didn't come in. "I can see how rainwater got in, but that frog was too big to get in here on its own. Shall we check out what is behind there?"
"Where?" Alduin is confused after some time. "Of course, we check everywhere! Leave no spoil behind and challenge or threat to linger."
Bicor walks through the east door in answer to Alduin's question.
Finding nothing there but a broken ledge* Bicor gazes at the open air. "how much taller is this tower? The elf returns to the room where the dead cave-dwellers lie. Then she goes through the door to the south.
Marlak glances over Bicor's shoulder.
