The umber hulk seems almost surprised by the ferocity of the attacks from all directions.

Ginevra's backstabbing, Tiriel's flaming slashes, and the ferocious attacks from the lizardman and the gnoll (not to mention the frenzied stinging from the tiny dragon) combined prove to be too much for the umber hulk.

It collapses under its own weight, twitches for several seconds, then is still.

Slowly, the confused members of the party regain their senses, while the others inspect the enormous cadaver. Although none of you have seem many umber hulks, this monster's thick, scarred carapace and enormous size suggest that it was much older than the "usual" members of its species.

The drow and grimlocks seem to have made good their escape in the meantime.

You note two exit tunnels (other than the tunnel you entered through). The lizardman indicates that the drow took the downward sloping tunnel. The other tunnel slopes upward.


OOC: Ouch! The elder umber hulk absorbs a grand total of 156 points of damage.
