OOC: Not sure how far we're going to go, so it's just this dungeon for now.

I figured. so what would you prefer to be the character that steals the pixie? A slime? Naga? Uhm. I'm trying to think of non cliche things.

OOC: For some reason, I think you're on to something with the "Naga" idea. ...Perhaps a Lamia or something along those lines?

I think it would work. xD a lamia.

They each went into the temple. It didn't seem immediately threatening, although the halls were only wide enough for Eshe to just barely walk through comfortably. "Huh, kind of cramped," Eshe mentioned. "I'm not claustrophobic, so this is just a minor annoyance, but I still wonder why the halls are so narrow."

Cilo held onto her shoulder and stayed close so he wasn't smushed against the wall. "Very tight...it's werd...uhm... Hey, can you do any fire spells? I was thinking that if you can hear up my wings to dry them quickly I could fly a few feet ahead and light the path."

"Uhhhhh... Unfortunately no," Eshe said. "I am strictly a necromancer. ...I know how to make fire using my metal staff and an old torch on one of these walls though."

Cilo nodded. "That's works too I guess. Just something to let us know what's coming up next." He said as he jumped down onto one of the torches and with a bit of effort managed to get it so when it was lit he could dry his wings and fly on ahead.

"You might want to get off till I get the fire going," Eshe mentioned.

Eshe took the torch and struck it through the Ankh on her staff. After striking it a few times, it lit up and then they could see in front of them.

Cilo did as she said and then as the fire lit he smiled and jumped onto the handle, sticking his wings out and letting them sit on either side of the fire for a minute or two of walking. Once they were dried he let out a sigh of relief and flew ahead a few feet, focusing his magic until he glowed like a little blue lantern. "I'll scout ahead a little." He said as he flew just a little ways ahead into a large room.

(Did you want to play the naga npc?)

OOC: No, you can if you want. I want to help you get more involved.

"I don't know if I trust you on your own," Eshe said. "But, what's the worst that could happen. Okay, go ahead."

(Are you sure? xD I'm ok with playing her but I feel like it's be hard for Eshe to save him if you couldn't work with the lamias position)

Cilo let out a sigh. "Your not my mother so take care of your own son! I can take care of myself." He said as he flew further into the room and began to explore it a little. That was odd. There was a lot of what seemed to be molted snake skin...

OOC: Okay, I'll play the Lamia, but I don't want to have an RP where I'm having all the fun and you're kind of just trailing along and not able to do much.

"What did you find little guy?" Kontar asked. "...Sorry, I followed you here. ...What the heck is that?" Kontar eventually saw the snake skin, and couldn't help but freak out.

(xD don't worry. I'm having a good time. I like playing this sort of role. I have control if I want it but I also don't always want to know what's gonna happen next)

Cilo quickly flew up and covered Kontar's mouth, hushing him down quietly before dimming his own light. "Listen kid you can't scream in here!" He said quietly. "Now, this means that there's a monster close by. So I want you to very quietly but quickly go back to your mom and let her know, I would follow but if that monster is in this room it already saw my light, so go." He whispered before backing into the center of the room.

"But... okay," Kontar said, going back to his mother. He didn't like the idea of leaving his companion behind, but mom might be angry if Kontar was gone for too long.

Cilo watched as Kontar ran off and relaxed a little. He had been in the room for so long and the lamia had yet to make a move. Maybe she wasn't around? Who cared! Cilo kept moving down another hallway, turning a corner and getting out of sight from the others.

Suddenly, there was a hissing noise that filled Cilo's general direction. In the shadows, you could barely make our a long snake-like tail among the corridors. You could also just barely make out a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. ...But they vanished quickly. What was going on?

Cilo jumped a little at the odd sight but after a few seconds let it go. Maybe it was just his imagination... Cilo told himself as he continued down the path slowly.

But suddenly, something crept up behind her. The same glowing eyes and the same scaly snake tail coming toward Cilo, and this time there was a hand reaching out to try and Grab Cilo.

Cilo didn't know that the lamia was behind him until it was too late, and the hand had a hold of him. He let out a few muffled cries that were very quiet but that was it. He was caught.
