The adventurers and Brandon soon had scarves around their noses and mouths. Pan had his bark, which protected him.
But the poisonous gases weren't the only thing that they should fear, they all knew. For the slimes were now heated up.
"Pala, a barrier! Fast!" Thor yelled, as he gripped his axe. Knowing that it was useless against such a thing as a toxic gas slime.
"On it!" Pala, the mage, yelled, as she managed to make a sphere around them all.
The first slime exploded seconds later. A spiderweb of cracks appeared on the barrier.
"What? Are the rest of you taking a nap? Come on, barriers!"
"It won't be enough," Brandon said, as he took a hold of Pan. "Pan, those are mindless. They have souls, but they are mindless!"
Brandon hated himself for even suggesting that Pan went back to eating souls. It was something he had dreaded while it was still happening.
But needs must.
"Right!"
Pan let go of Brandon, as the dragon stared after him with wide eyes.
"Let me out!"
