"So... You are telling me, High Priestess, that unless I aid the rebels, your race might be wiped out.."
Faldorn surveyed the City-of-Caverns with a critical eye. Everywhere she looked, the creatures seemed pallid, listless, and devoid of hope.
"And tell me, High Priestess... How often are you raided by the drow and the illithid?"
This was most disturbing. It became obvious to Faldorn that, in the name of Balance, the rebels must return to the city.
The mad king was hilariously gullible... and he never saw the spell coming. He was stricken blind by her fey magic, as were his guards, and then torn to pieces by her spider form. As he started to decay, she reclaimed her human form and ushered the rebels back into the city. She collected her reward, a lovely spear taken from the King's corpse, and left.
Balance would once again reign in this place. Neither the Sahuagin nor the illithid nor the drow would become too powerful, and the three evils would keep each other in check.
Faldorn was pleased.

I leveled up... Faldorn is now level 15 and can shapeshift into a fire elemental at will. She also picked up the Spear of Withering... It should come in quite handy in the future. To the Underdark we go!
Until next time, I remain
Faldorn the Even Greater Druid
