This was the fight he had been waiting for, Shar'Atan knew this was the opportunity to prove his worth. The dungeon had given him and the party many tough challanges already. The gigantuan snake by the bridge was maybe the most fearsome beast until now. That beast almost killed Shar'Atan while he bravely fought it one-on-one while the druid and the mage stood in the back and summoned and blasted it with spells. But where was the ninja? Shar'Atan couldn't see him anywhere as he furiously swong his katana and wakasashi against the creatures hide. Was he out hiding again?! He couldn't believe it, that coward! But thankfully the druid managed to make a couple of bears pop up beside him that proved a heavily needed assistance. Shar'Atan striked the snake hard several times, but got hit just as hard back. Then the snake lowered his head and breathed his acid breath right at our dear samurai. Shar'Atan felt that he was dangerousely close to death and decided to take and tactical retreat and leave the expendable animals to take the blows. He ran all he could back to the rest of the party. As he turned around to look at the huge beast, it lay there dead as a dead something it was. Finally they had managed to kill that horrid thing, a snake as larger than any creature he had seen before! He thought of the slaughtering of the hundred-or-so kobolds and how easy that was compared to this!
Shar'Atan also thought about the 3 rather arrogant adventurers that suddenly attacked the party for no reason. That fight was even easier than the kobolds! This battle was also in the room by the bridge. The fighter was the first to attack. He was reckless enough to charge past both our samurai and the pet-wolf of the druid. Shar'Atan first delivered a hard critical blow against his side and cut him up bad. But the fighter just kept on towards the druid and was teared down by the wolf. It was then easy work for our samurai to finish him of with a leathal slice and dice with his swords. The enemy mage turned his attention to where they stood and let it fall a ice storm on them. The barbarian, now in rage for the death of his reckless brother, proved himself even more reckless as he charged into the ice storm to kill the druid. But he never got that far, 'cause the lion the druid had just summoned jumped at him and pinned him to the ground as he mircilessly tore at him with his paws. Shar'Atan saw that the druid and his animals had the situation under controlled and ran towards the wizard. He suddenly saw the ninja appear out of nothing and deliver a suprising blow at the wizard. Shar'Atan could just finish him of with a slice from his katana. After no more than 15 seconds the battle was over. The greedy adventurers who had considered our party as an easy picking had proved themself to be just that.
This was definitly their greatest challange ever! The image had told them that they were up against a truly horrid umberhulk. Shar'Atan didn't know what an umberhulk was, but he understood that this umberhulk was of the truly horrid kind. The druid told him that this creature was a terrible thing to face and would likely mean the death of them all, and that its gaze could make him get so confused that he ran around attacking everything he saw, even other party members! Shar'Atan said that he didn't get so easily confused and that it was nothing to worry about! They got the items found at the just defeated adventurers identified. It proved to be a bunch of truly powerful items. Shar'Atan finally got the new and better armor he had waited for so long. Now they were ready to face that horrid umberhulk thing! The druid began to summon, and our samurai swung open the door and entered the room with the ninja right behind him. In the centre of the large oval room stood the dreaded creature motionless, like he had stood there for centuries just waiting for some over-eager adventurers to kill. It was almost as huge as the snake-creature and had tusks sticking out of his mouth. The druid summoned a bear right beside the thing that started to attack it right away. He also sent his pet-wolf against the thing. The wolf made a nip in its toe and the "hulk" responded by crushing the wolf with his big hands, fataly wounding the poor thing which literaly led with its tail behind its legs. Shar'Atan charged as the ninja climbed a plattform by the wall and readied his crossbow. Our samurai hit him hard with his katana and the flames burned thru its hard skin. The druid had turned himself into a little bird and flew high up and started summoning again. From his high ventage point he got to witness a rare sight, as the dire lion he just had summoned jumped at the umberhulk with such a force that made the huge beast fall to the ground. The bear jumped at it there it lay on its back and stroke him hard with his big claws. Shar'Atan now had both his swords out and unleashed a flurry of blows at the now prone umberhulk. It looked like the "hulk" finally started to get wounded. But the umberhulk got tired of lying there prone and threw off both the lion and the bear quite easily. It started to rise up as as bolts flew seemingly out of nowhere and hit him where it hurt. When it was back at its feet, the druid had managed to summon another animal, a dire wolf that started to attack him. Now the huge thing was sorrounded be 3 large animals and a furious samurai. Another couple of bolts flew thru the sky and striked the "hulk" as the animals and samurai hit it with all they got. The bear delivered the second blow and managed to pull him down again, but this time it never rose again. Still cought up in the furious fight the samurai and the animals continued to strike at it until they realised it was dead. The truly horrid umberhulk had been defeated! It was not a small task for such a small party of eager, but relativily unexperienced adventurers. Now fame awaited as the plattform was raised and our party found itself in an arena with a cheering crowd. They were presented with they reward of 200 000 gold each delivered by a most unpleased mayor.
