The Basement
"Oh Sid there've been some strange noises coming from the basement but for some reason the door won't open, could you go down sometime and look around?" said Joney, Sid's sister. With a very grim expression the enchanter turned to her warrior counterpart and said, "Do you think it escaped?" "I'll get a R2 unit and Jim and we'll go down and look," she said with a slight hint of nervousness in her voice. A while later Jim a robot resembling R2 D2 and the Sids were standing at the door to the basement, wearing air tanks, a wide assortment of weapons, and rings that would cast stoneskin enchantments on them repeatedly, and also cast a gate spell that would return them to their living room. Jim looked to the warrior and said, "Are you sure the whole Star Wars thing was a real event that an alien made a movie out of, and you didn't just build a droid to look like the droids in it?" "Nope it was all real, I was there, he just edited a lot of it" the warrior replied. "Well lets go in" "Jim what are you doing?" "Huh? Oh heh, I chew on my tail when I'm nervous." "Don't worry, we each have two of the magic rings I made and both cast the gate and stoneskin instantly." One Sid taped the door on a spot, and then in mid air did something that looked like typing, and the door opened with a hiss as the pressure escaped.
They climbed down the stairs to see the room completely lightless, and the enchanter cast a spell of vision, that would allow them to see through a drow's globe of darkness. They quickly found a cage with a broken lock that looked like it had been chewed through. "Damn! It did get out!" "What did", asked Jim. "Have you ever heard of El Chupacobra?" "Yes I have but those are just urban legends" "Well the urban legend we were keeping locked in here escaped."
But just then they smelt a sickly-sweet smell that invaded their air tanks, and almost made them pass out. The enchanter having been here twice before quickly cast a spell of enduring breathe, and told them to enact their stoneskin spells. She cast a spell of area memorization that would be repelled by another enchantment she had placed upon them, but that cough the source of the smell in its position. "What the hell is that?!" Jim asked, pointing at a blob of molding decay. "It's a sundew, a magical creature made of filth and mold, it disorientates its prey with that smell, then covers them and begins slowly digesting them." "Pleasant. What do we do when the memorization wears off?" said the warrior, "I have some enzymes that will destroy the mold it's made of, in the droid's fire extinguisher. This isn't my first encounter with sundews down here," The droid sprayed some powder over the sundew and it began melting slowly. When it was half way melted they saw a bony form poking out of where the stomach would be, "Think we found the El Chupacobra" said the warrior. "Lets get out of here" Jim said. At the same time the three held one hand on the droid and said "ring gate now" and they all disappeared and popped back into the living room. "I really hate the basement."
