  As he was jumping to the fire breather, Chip' started chanting again.  As
he finished he looked over the building hewas on and saw the last demon horse.
It was basically rolling in agony as the foot long horse fly maggots were
eating into it's flesh.  Chip' quickly scanned the situation and then saw
Farnham (?) in trouble.  Chip' hurrylied grabbed two chatkcha and put away on
of his two Gythka, keeping the blue glowing one out.  Holding the gythka in
his empty hands. Chip leapt off the top of the building and drove the glowing
gythka into the body of the demon horse where it exited out the bottom of the
horse.  He then quickly pulled the that part up and out further ripping open
the creature and then, just to be sure, bit into the horse.  The horse, 
paralysed, fell to the ground where the maggots and his open bleeding wounds
soon killed it.  If Chip' stayed around long enough, he would have seen the 
ice form around the big Gythka wound and finally encrust the horse in a shell
of ice, killing the maggots (Chip' couldn't have them reaching maturity).  he 
knew this would happen so ignored it, he had more important things to worry
about.  
  He quickly ran up to the hapless illusionist, throwing histwo Chatkcha at
the nearest of the blob creatures, the chatkcha, however, did not hit the
creatures so much as they went Through them.  It did slow them down though.
Chip' caught the returning two Chatkcha, and finally reaching Farnham, grabbed
him and swung his gythka at the nearest blob creature, severing it in two.
Chip' then leapt to the top of the building.
  "Wizardss shouldn't get caught in a fight, no?"  the Thri-kreen version
of a smile was across Chip's face.  he loved a good challenge.  Meanwhile,
the other blob creature tried to climnb up the building ingnoring the two 
encased in ice. (the one blob he severed regenerated before the magic of the
gythka kicked in)  seeing how useless his chatkcha were on these things, he 
grabbed his other gythka and readied himself.
