By rubbing slime on her wrists and ankles, Astra had managed to slip out
of her bonds. It did mean that she now smelt of bacon, but that wasn't so
bad a smell.
Soon she was no worse off than the rest, since with the ever-increasing amount of slime running down the walls, flowing sluggishly along the floor and dripping from the ceiling, they all became liberally smeared with the stuff. Astra had to carry Velus, to avoid his disappearing beneath it. The passage sloped upwards for a while, but when it sloped down again they found that not far ahead the slime extended all the way up to the ceiling. Retracing their steps, they discovered that the route which they had followed to get to where they now were had also become impassable. They were trapped! "What a depressing way to die," Fred said, as the slime continued to rise. It was waist-deep now. "Drowned by slime." "You're a magic user," Astra said to Exotica. "Isn't there a spell that could help us?"
