Chapter 2:

They continued on further into the cave, with Zhakk in the lead (hidden in the shadows), with Clouder, Quintin, Shingo and Keeran behind him, spread out in a straight line so Clouder and Keeran were on either side of Quintin, and Shingo behind him (Quintin had demanded this). After a while they got to a fork.

"Which way shall we go?" Zhakk asked.

"I'm not sure," Shingo said, "I think we should split up! Me and Zhakk will go right, and Keeran, Clouder and Quintin can go left!" They did that. The tunnel Shingo and Zhakk went through was damp and smelt like something dead. After a while they came to a dead end, so they turned back and went through the tunnel the others went through! As they hurried to catch up with Clouder, Quintin and Keeran, somehing fell through the roof. It looked like a snake, but had arms, and was carrying a sword. It was a Yuan-Ti!

"Well, look what we have here," the Yuan Ti said, but I came out as "Weeeellllll….. loooooky vot vee harv eerree!"

"Oh! My! God!" Clouder stammered, "It's a…. Yuan-Ti!" Just then 2 Histachiis carrying daggers jumped down the hole in the roof as well!"

"Hissssssssss tarrr chiiiiii!" the Yuan-Ti ordered, "Geettt zem!!!" One of the Histachiis jumped towards Shingo like a Velociraptor, trying to slash him with the dagger. Shingo just decapitated it with his bladed Quartrestaff.

"SREEEEEEEEEEEEEE" the other Histachii screeched, and it lunged towards Keeran, who lunged his sword straight through its underbelly!

"Yooouuuu may harv beeeeeetan zee Hisssstarrchiiiii, vut yooooouuu von't zefeet mee!" the Yuan-Ti said, and it did a burning hands spell on Keeran.

"ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!" Keeran screamed in pain, he started slashing at the Yuan-Ti, but couldn't even touch him, and then the Yuan-Ti hit Keeran right in the lower part of his belly with its sword. Then it hit Keeran with the flat part of his sword, knocking him out! As Clouder rushed to give a healing potion to Keeran, Shingo started battling it out with the Yuan-Ti. The Yuan-Ti couldn't even lay a hit on Shingo, and Shingo litarally skewered it with his Quatrestaff, leaving it to die from the poison on the blades. After Keeran was healed, they kept going through the tunnel, now even more careful than before (and Quintin was now disguising himself as a Beholder). After about15 minutes they came to a door, it was locked, but Zhakk easily picked the lock. As they walked through, they realised they were in a large cavern, and sitting in the middle, clutching what looked like a huge, double sided mace, was a huge Yuan-Ti.

"What is that?" Zhakk asked.

"That, is the Queen Yuan-Ti!" Shingo replied.
