Thanks, all. I shall keep it up, don't worry.

After they had breakfasted, they joined their friends. They were, of course, intensely interested in the news, though both Keldorn and Jaheira gave Viconia strange looks when they were told that she had questioned the Drow priestess. The old paladin went so far as to say, “I do hope that you were not cruel to her, Lady Viconia. I will have naught to do with the torture of prisoners.”
Viconia‘s perfect silver eyebrows went up. “I well know that you will not, Sir Keldorn,” she said in a mocking tone. “You are quite free to check in on her at any time, though I assure you that, when I left her, she was in the best of health. I much doubt that you would enjoy the conversation, though, since I will wager that it would be confined to Drow curses. That is all that the guards say that they have of her.”
“But with you, she was informative to no small degree.” Keldorn replied sardonically. “Great are your persuasive powers, Lady Viconia. I have no doubt that she is well, now, knowing what a mistress of healing magic you are. But, naught to do with now. Let us return to that ramshackle place in the Southwest quarter, where the troops were said to be massing. Doubtless, we can find out somewhat today.”
They all equipped themselves and trooped back to the first building that they had taken. It was now under heavy guard by the militia, Descending to the basement, they found the hole that led to the depths still empty, though they could hear faint noises. Nalia and Imoen set to checking their wards and traps. They at first seemed intact, but Imoen discovered a change in one of her wards. Checking more closely, Nalia confirmed that two of hers had been tampered with. “Some mage of moderate powers has been working here,” she said with a shake of her strawberry blonde hair. “He has tried to dispel the magic in these, and has not been successful, since he is not as accomplished as Immy and I.” Imoen sent her a glance of gratitude. She always liked being included with Nalia, whom she both loved and admired. But, she switched her mind back to work. They needed to remove these wards, since if they did not, they would injure their friends.
