Viconia' s Return to the Underdark - Page 4

Legolas · 01-06-2002, 06:10 AM

"Uhh.. well.. No time for that, I'm afraid. You've got a brother to save and cannot delay! Why, every minute you waste now brings him a minute coser to his death! And as for me, I'm going to have a hard time just finding my way back to the city, what with all this nightly traveling. Really, it's been fun, but ehr.. my master's probably worrying where I am right now, and da's going to be real angry with me for dissapearing, so I should really be going. Uh, bye?"

Skip slowly starded retreating to the entrance of the cave, all the while keeping an eye on the others to make sure they wouldn't come after him.

Galadria · 01-06-2002, 07:53 AM

ATTALUS
(grabs Skip's neck in a surprisingly gentle, yet unbreakable grasp)
"Oh, no you don't, young 'un. If Galadria says you go with Secretmaster, with Secretmaster you go!" (shoves Skip in the direction of the rapidly disappearing Secretmaster)

He shrugged and started walking after secretmaster, all the while muttering to himself.

"What is wrong with those people? Think I'm some kind of slave or something... Next time I come across a house like that... Dammit, I'm a free man for crying out loud... Could have been goin' after that rogue stone right now... They don't have the right... What'd I ever do to them? If I were stronger I'd whip their.. Think they are, goin' after -ing drow.. Don't want to die 'cause of them... Nothin' but slavedrivers..."

But there was nothing Skip could do, and he knew it. Sighing, he accepted his fate.

01-06-2002, 11:24 AM

"Come on, a thief knows better than that. This place has something of interest Skip. Lets go, some new tunnels must have been made, and the only reason why I can think new tunnels have been made is because of a drow invasion, or they're after Viciona. Lets go Skip!" With that, Skip and SecretMaster descend into the darkness of the Cloakwood mines.

Legolas · 01-06-2002, 11:40 AM

"Sheesh! How many times do I have to tell you guys I ain't no thief!? I clean weapons, armour, even cloaks. But I don't take them home with me. And that is all, I'm no adventurer, and no interest in finding any drow whatsoever. Even a mushroom could scare the hell out of me if it was dark. I'm just a normal person. No thief. I dont have the guts to enter someone else's home unless my boss ordered me to and told the people I was coming beforehand. And even then, I take the backdoor.
Go through your list of guildmembers if you like, ask them, I ain't no -ing thief. I didn't join a thieves guild, and I never will. Okay?

Now let's get this over with. I want to go home."

Galadria · 01-06-2002, 12:22 PM

Galadria
As Secretmaster and his whiny assisstant make their way into the dark tunnel, she spots a suspiciously artificial mass in the near distance. Approaching it, she sees, withthe aid of Secretmaster's globe, a dark, metallic polyhedral."Vicky, what do you make of this?"
Viconia
"Why, abbil, this is a drow device. A Machine of Lost Souls. Drow magicians use them to imprison magic-users that they have a particular grudge against. They are conscious, but devoid of any sensation. (shudders) A horrible fate."
Attalus
"Yeah, Gal, don't you remember? All sorts of magic-users came out when we operated it. Most of them hostile. Probably, we shouldn't disturb it."
Galadria
"But, this is evidence of a drow presence here. They could be expanding their realm. This is perilously close to Baldur's Gate.Perhaps we should free one of them and question them."
Viconia
"Abbil, the drow put these things where they think that no-one will find them. The fact that it is here should argue that not many come this way. (considers)But, also, it could be a trap, to entangle unwary wayfarers. I agree with Attalus (their glances lock, again, but they look quickly away) We should not disturb it."

Galadria
She looks more closely at the thing, as she tries to decide about what to do. She finds a broken staff, a piece of what once was a magic spell, and a broken potion bottle. As she searches, her keen eye picks up a trace of movement. Something, or someone, is lurking about behind a nearby stalagmite. She carefully returns to her companions annd points out where she thinks she thought she saw the movement. Grimly, Attalus pulls out his sword and positions his body between the women and himself. Galadria readied a spell, as Viconia slipped in front of Attalus, brushing his hip with hers as she passed. As she closed on the mineral, a small pebble rolled in front of her. Gripping her hammer, she bellowed her war cry and charged, quickly followed by Attalus. As they plunged behind the rock, they were surprised to find a small drow child, one leg chained to a stake in the floor of the cave. They lowered their weapons as the child shrieked.
Attalus
"Gal, it's all right. Come over here." As the mage joined her friends, she saw them stooping over the child, surely no more than the eqivalent of eight in a human. Viconia was speaking urgently to the waif in Drow, as attalus severed the chain with one swing of Carsomyr.
VICONIA
(straightens up)Abbil, she say that a drow mage lured her to his house, then abused her. He then brought her here and staked her out. She thinks she is bait for something, but he would not tell her anything. The idea. True, she is of no real House, but for a mere male...(she trails off) I am sorry, abbil. In this place, I fall back into old habits of thinking. Forgive me, Attalus. (she places her hand on his arm and looks into his eyes)
ATTALUS
(Looks determinedly away) "Think nothing of it, Vickey. Only in a manner of speaking."

Galadria · 01-07-2002, 08:54 AM

GALADRIA
"Vickey, how long has the child been here?"(Viconia speaks to the waif in drow)
VICONIA
"Abbil, she says no more than a few hours. She also wants some food and water. I shall give her some of mine."
GALADRIA
"Then, they are trying to lure some monster out to attack her, so that they can get the monster. Why, I wonder,have they not attacked us? (comprehension dawns) I know. They are waiting for the child to scream. Lucky for us, they did not hear the faint cry she made. Let us hide. (They conceal themselves)Now, Vickey, have the child scream. Be ready!"

SecretMaster
"Come on you drows, I need something to do other than sit around. Maybe we should keep one of the guys captive, and question him. Whatever we do, we better do something wise. I'd hate to fight a drow army."

Galadria · 01-08-2002, 07:13 AM

(Secretmaster and Skip rejoin the group. Viconia makes the drow child scream. Suddenly, they are rushed by a group of six drow, one mage and five fighters. Each of the fighters attacks a member of the party, while two of the fighters atttack Attalus. Drow Mage casts Horror on the group.)
GALADRIA
(save vs. spell, magic resistance) Casts Dragon's Breath on Drow mage.
VICONIA
(save vs. spell, magic resistance) attacks drow fighter
Attalus(save vs. spell, magic resistance) attacks drow fighter
