Elmo's face is no longer covered with Darkmantle flesh although his vision is still dark. Undeterred and incredibly frustrated at not having found any loot amongst the lifeless Darkmantle carcasses, he closes his eyes, stills his breath, listens for the enemy's location, and hears Glabbagool to his right-side. He reaches for his Rapier and with the cleanest of strokes, slices right through Glaggabool and cleaves the top-section of the remaining Darkmantle's head clean through! The darkness lifts instantly and you all watch in horror as the Darkmantle's blood gushes out, and swirls around Glabbagool's transparent body. You see it then rapidly dissolve inside of the gelatinous cube and the eyes of Glabbagool roll backward in what must be ecstasy.
Glabbagool - "You are too kind, Elmo. That WAS delicious!" it says with great satisfaction.
(hiding his disgust of the gruesome scene of Glab's digestion) No problem mate! My pleasure. That didnt hurt at all did it (Elmo hold up the rapier and gestures to it )? If so sorry mate. (elmo grabs the rest of the corpses and starts throwing them into Glab) Here ye go mate! Eat up! ye earned it!
The Darkness lifts and Gremryl immiadetly begins to look around... Frantically!
"Me Mace.. Moradin's benevolence!! ye see it?!"
investigation check to look for it: 8
While looking over his shoulder he says "Lass, come down here, both ye and elmo look to be needing a bit of moradins help if ye get me meaning.. come done lass"
He'll keep looking around and to elmo "you ok friend? seem you had an up close and encounter of the dark kind eh?"
Elmo looks around for Moradin's Benevolence (AKA "Benny") and after a brief search, Glabbagool says "You're looking for this? It slid right towards me and I thought it best to hold on to it." The cube then ejects the mace to one side, and a pile of bones and other indigestibles from the Darkmantles to another side.
Gremryl gingerly takes his mace back from Elmo.. "Thanks Lad, moradins grace, I'd be brought down with sadness had this been lost, ye did well." he turns to everyone "ye all did well!! come lets keep going and be out this wretched lake.. Me bones be getting tired and the evil weighs on me. "
"Glab, keep an eye out will ye.. gonna rest me eyes for a spell"... nap!
Glad I could help ye find Benny mate! and thanks ye for yer help and concern my stout friend. Elmo has seen better days to be certain. But its nothing that a good nap and cleaning the shite out of me pants wont fix. (elmo moves to the back of the boat and starts to undo his trousers.) Speaking of which, (Elmo address everybody) pardon mates. Elmo isnt shy, but if ye find yer-self to be the bashful type, then you may want to face the other side of the boat. Nothing to see here, just a halfling doing some basic hygiene and trouser maintenance.
Elmo removes his pants. I would like attempt to clean the feces from my trousers using the water current as the boat moves. Elmo is aware of the many dangers lurking beneath, so he is extra careful in getting close to the water (ill roll a slight of hand check?). Plus He figures that feces, even bloody feces (meat only diet?), wouldn't attract many apex predators.

Elmo takes a much needed nap. (DM can decide when elmo puts pants back on)
"heh.. bothers me not halfing.. I once spent a campaign fighting an army of orcs in the south.. those beasts wear a loincloth and a chest plate..now there's something that be raising an eye.. didn't know if they be carrying poisoned pythons around their waists by the sights. aye... ye don't offend me.. might i be asking though? ye seem cold? Is maybe a bit 'drafty' in the underdark eh! buahahaha" Gremryl guffaws at his own joke "aye.. maybe ye could of dropped ya pantaloons when those beast fell upon us..aye.. that monster of yours surely would of frozen them in place with fright aye! Morgana.. turn away or be burned with an unfit image of Elmo!" he continues to laugh and elbows Hemmeth and reaches for the high five!
"take no offense master Halfing.. i jest only, you.. seem.. majestic even, despite this unforgiving breeze ey?" he smirks good naturedly..

Morgana lands on the boat and lays down to sleep with the rest of the crew. As she does. she says the following.
To Elmo: "Oh no!! It seems that Elmo has lost his manhood in the struggle! My gender is thrilled but I am personally saddened for your loss my friend and furthermore.....wait...no, wait...that must be some sort of meat leftover in his pants...that can't be the manhood in question...its far too small and misshapen…" (grins).
To Grem: "Glad you got your mace back, buddy. I was gonna be disappointed if the wonderful treasure I gave you was so callously tossed aside! Rack up some more kills with it in the near future! Cheers!"
To the party in general: "Great work all around! I'm proud of each and everyone of you crazy bastards!"
After a long rest, you all wake up and most of you feel refreshed. Before you gather your wits about you, Hemeth calls out, "Look alive, gents! This passageway looks treacherous!" Looking ahead, you notice the passageway ahead looks entirely too tight to pass through for your raft! The current is taking you straight towards it with more force than you can overcome. To navigate through this you'll have to pass a group check.
You manage to swing wide right when jagged rocks sprout from the water. The raft almost slams into the side of the cave with terrible implications but Elmo nimbly hops between the raft and the wall and keeps the vessel from smashing to pieces. It was a truly amazing save and Elmo made it look effortless even at half the size of a human, he had thrice the dexterity of the swiftest of other races. The water gets even rougher and this time it's Morgana's turn to lend her talents to ease the rafts perilous journey through this particularly dangerous patch. She uses her mage hand as a rudder of sorts and steers the raft just clear of jagged parts of the passageway walls that threatened to rip chunks of the raft off. As Gremryl attempts to do his part, he trips over himself and the raft slams into a stalactite that sticks into the choppy water. Pieces of Gremryl's beard (which is slowly thinning across the adventure) gets caught in the rafting and get ripped out as he gets back to his feet.
The cave passage opens back up to the larger Darklake and the waters calm down. You continue navigating your way to Neverlight Grove...

"Moradins Beard!! shiite, me own is getting battered.. I may be looking like young master elmo by the end of this trip! Hemmeth, ye be knowing of any Dwarven Beard clubs? eh"
To morgana " Be careful lass.. lest ye be getting the dwarven curse of a beard of ye own! aye, dwarven women be beautiful with thier beards..sometimes..Sometimes it be said a Warrior of Moradin can bless another with a beard of warrior fire!" he smirks, reaching for another high five to Hemmeth

Gremryl finds himself more at ease around his new found companions. Through Combat the most strongest bonds are formed. Long has it been since he's made a joke and hearing them in his own ears sound alien. Yet, he grins nonethless. Memories of the past come back. Friends, Soldiers, gutbusters.. Aindura his wife.. Mevana his daughter..
Abruptly he becomes a bit more somber, but with a wistful smile. Memories indeed. Not lost or forgotten, but memories indeed. What he has here may be a new chapter, aye.. He hopes so..
Hemeth - "Haha, my friend, the finest barbers in all of the Underdark couldn't save your beard now, friend. I do know a lady about a large keg of ale though. Would that about do ya right?" then raising his hand, he gives Gremryl a studly fist bump.

Looking clearly hurt, Elmo responds to Grem
