You stride away, moving north.
[Tunnel Chamber]
Three tunnels have met to form a large chamber within the mine.  Every sound you make echoes down
the tunnels, and returns to your ears seconds later as a faint unrecognizable jumble of voices and
sound.  You also see a perturbed marsh spirit that is flying around.
Also here: the body of Lord Kassimer who is lying down
Obvious exits: northeast, south, northwest
A spectral miner just arrived.
>cheer kas
You turn to Kassimer and cheer!
Speaking to you, the ghostly voice of Kassimer says, "G'day."
Kassimer gives a ghostly chuckle.
You recognize Kassimer using the Symbol of Recognition.
A spectral miner eyes flare with evil red light!
A spectral miner swings a mining pick at you!
  AS: +326 vs DS: +194 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +35 = +204
   ... and hits for 17 points of damage!
   Gash to your left eyebrow.
   That's going to be quite a shiner!
   You are stunned for 1 rounds!


The ghostly voice of Kassimer asks, "See?"

The ghostly voice of Kassimer says, "That's what he did ta me three times in a row."

You hiss at the miner.
A hollow, resonating growl echoes from the spirit of Kassimer.
You swing a razor-sharp vultite dwarven warblade at a spectral miner!
  AS: +308 vs DS: +129 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +57 = +271
   ... and hit for 86 points of damage!
   Strong blow to the head!
   The spectral miner enjoys the breeze.
   The spectral miner is stunned!
Roundtime: 5 sec.

A spectral miner wails in joyful agony!

The ghostly voice of Kassimer says, "I had no chance."

The spirit of Kassimer sighs softly, raising the hairs on the back of your neck.
You softly exclaim, "Bloody thing!"

You swing a razor-sharp vultite dwarven warblade at a spectral miner!
  AS: +308 vs DS: +127 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +74 = +290
   ... and hit for 82 points of damage!
   Smash to the chest!
   Good thing there were no ribs there to shatter.
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the spectral miner's
body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The spectral miner falls to the ground motionless.
The deep blue glow leaves a spectral miner.
The dim aura fades from around a spectral miner.
The light blue glow leaves a spectral miner.
The powerful look leaves a spectral miner.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
R>search
You search the spectral miner.
He had some ragged leather work clothing, a mining pick.
He had 315 silvers on him.
You gather the remaining 315 coins.
He had nothing else of value.
A spectral miner quickly crumbles into the ground in front of your eyes.
The ghostly voice of Kassimer says, "Thanka much fer killin' it."

You softly say, "No problem."
The ghostly voice of Kassimer says, "I used symbol o' retribution 5 times on it."
Kassimer gives a ghostly chuckle.

You chuckle.
The ghostly voice of Kassimer exclaims, "I was so mad!"

You softly exclaim, "I'd have done the same!!"

The ghostly voice of Kassimer asks, "Could ya drag me ta the hole?"

You softly say, "Aye."

Kassimer seems slightly different.  The stench of decay is growing more pervasive.

You put a razor-sharp vultite dwarven warblade in your spidersilk harness.

You remove a white flask from in your snow white herb satchel.

You force Kassimer's mouth open, and pour in a small amount from your white flask.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Kassimer, then fades into the body.
You have 2 doses left.

You put a white flask in your ebony cloak.

You begin to do your best to bandage Kassimer's wound.
After some effort you manage to bandage the injury.
Roundtime: 40 sec.

You softly say, "Smuthami is coming."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

The ghostly voice of Kassimer exclaims, "Hurrah!"
The layer of protection fades away.

A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears.  The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Smuthami.
