"I dunno." Rod replies.  "I sure wouldn't mind getting back to our vehicle. 
Frost, do you know where that stadium with all those statues is?  Could you
find it overground?"

"I have some idea." Rod mumbles.

[GM]
As Lady Frost peaks around the corner she sees a distressingly familiar
sight.  Walking down the hall, a horrible grin on its face, is a short,
