Point of View (POV) = Shuriken.
After about twenty minutes of pacing back and forth, conversing enthusiastically with the wall, and asking the most clueless of your allies for advice, Uberbob finally comes to his conclusion. "L33tz4n and that other person... Shuri-something or whoever... will go." He probably means you, being the only Shuri-something. Then again, it could always be some figment of his imagination he's talking about. Or a name he thought up for something. Regardless, it looks like you're going into Unfooruman's lair and can't do anything about it. Well, you could just kill the rest of the party and make a run for it, but at this point even you are quite curious what lies within this fortress.
Of course, having to take the snake girl along isn't something you cherish either. No doubt you'll have to drag her up staircases and stuff the whole time; handicapped accessibility doesn't seem to be a requirement for evil lairs. Despite the consequences, you can see the logic in bringing her along, mainly her summoning skills.
You find the concept of summoning quite illogical in itself, actually. Summoning something like an elemental is one thing, but as of late there have been mages, trained soldiers, and even historical figures just popping out of thin air, and you're starting to wonder where they all come from. Moreso, why the first thing that ask isn't "where the heck am I?" The only logical explanation would be that somewhere there is a place filled with people waiting to be summoned, and that seems equally illogical. You figure you could always just ask L33tz4n later. She is already on the other side of the lasers, still slightly semitransparent from the Middenite.
You kick some dirt into the air so the lasers are visible. Pouring the last of the Middenite over your body, you quickly run across to where L33tz4n is standing. The small red lines bend around your body without setting anything off. Sighing with relief, you, L33tz4n, and Fooruman continue walking down the twisting hallway, careful to constantly kick up more dust in case of more lasers.
