[color:"#00cccc"]"Go, free the manticore... huh...and how?" I grumbled, dashing down the stairs at high speed - skidding into the cage room, where Fergie slept sweetly. I scratched my head - then I made a dash for it: I slashed the ropes binding it - and ran to the door - Fergie was awake at once and ran after me, I sped up the stairs, dodging its porcupine stingers and reached the battle field again
"Look out! Manticore on the rampage - get out of range! Everyone!"
I saw to my dismay that several had already used up their protection globe and Jolie was not fast enough to stop Aganeth regenerating. Without thinking I bodychecked the paladin again - not one second too early, because Fergus had already entered the hall and shot a battery of his highly poisonous and acidfilled stingers at the wizard. He screamed in agony.
Well, I couldn't deal with that anymore - Jolie had gone into berserk state and was fighting me with bloodshot eyes.
"Sorry, chum," My clenched fist hit the right spot at his chin, I heard his teeth clattering (hoped they were still in place), his head shot back and he slumped on the floor. Thankfully Fergie concentrated on the troll wizard, so I could heave, pull and drag Jolie out of reach, kicking away the wizard's staff at the same time.
The others had meanwhile taken a respectful distance to the manticore and I prayed for a wonder.[/color]
