Hilariously, for all their cursing of orcs as uncivilized barbarians, the dwarves didn’t utter a single word of objection to roasting and eating the orc. From how they savagely tore into the orc, they were a lot less squeamish about eating intelligent foes than I was.
I had to ruthlessly murder the part of me that was screaming about eat...

I was low on mana. I’d been in non-stop marathon mode, and fighting was expensive. Sure, I had more mana - but I could also blow through mana a lot faster. I just didn’t have the reserves to handle another explosion, then handle the rest of the blasted fight.<...

I kept wandering through hallways, picking intersections at random, while the dwarves tried to keep up enough to stay within the radius of my [Shine], no other light making it down here.

I glanced at my stripped, headless former body. It felt all sorts of wrong to just leave it. On a deep, fundamental level it was like leaving the dead unburied. On a more practical note, it could attract...

There was a sharp twang, and a blur in front of me.
A sickening thwack occurred, and a weak cough from Glifir, a spray of blood.

We decided to spend some time - like an hour or so - resting up, everyone else topping their mana up and getting long, deep drinks out of the pool Ned purified.
We were still processing what happened, Lule’s death and Toke’s disappearance. Everyone was handling it in their own way. The dwarves were chatting a bunch about what had just ...

“We need to go after Toke.” Glifir was insisting. “It hasn’t been that long.”

The shaft was now wide enough for the dwarves, courtesy of Toke. More than wide enough for me.
