Viconia's Return to the Underdark, Chapter II - Page 2

They stumble through the passage, see the morning light, feel the wind on their faces for the first time in, it seems,ages. Valen screams.
VALEN "The light, what is it? It burns!"
VICONIA (Takes off her cloak, wraps it around him and pulls the hood up) "That is the sun, my brother. It's fire provides heat and light for the surfacers. You will get used to it, though, I fear, shall never love it." (to Galadria)"Abbil, can we not go back to Baldur's Gate. I find that I miss my room, and Valen will need to be quiet for a few days, until I can teach him surface ways."
GALADRIA (sympatheticallly) "Certainly, Vicky" (They travel back to Baldur's Gate, and Galadria casts Invisible on the drow at the city gates. They are soon back home.)
(OOC>> Well, this was fun. If anyone wants to stay aboard, I have more adventures in storefor our heroes. Next, we shall penetrate the castle of the evil poisoner. Neb, your psionic abilities will be needed. Velkyn, this guy's a drow. Skip, I hope you'll come, cause there's gonna be treasure. Everybody, just write in a visit to our house in Baldur's Gate.

(OOC: Sorry, Neb won't be comfortable in a city, he'll hang around in the wilderness somewhere and join up with the rest of the group again some other time.)

Neb Time Shifts himself and dissapears without a word.

(OOC>> Ah, but Neb. this poisoner resides in a lonely castle in the middle of the howling wilderness. Expect an enchanted owl to come and inform you, when we are ready to leave.

(OOC: That will not be necessary, Neb will drop by again at some time or another of his own accord, whether as friend or foe only time will tell as he really has no reason to be loyal to the group.)

He was glad to be back in Baldur's Gate again, and even happier the others were willing to let him go to 'see his master at the hall of wonders'. Skip stood in a dark and familliar alley, away from the eyes of passerbies. He was examining his belongings.
They were nothing but what he had on him, for the mage would likely have sold everything else he had once ownned by now.
He had his daggers, and the short sword of whatshisname still. The ring Secretmaster gave him was tucked away deeply into his pocket, right next to the bag of darts he had 'found'. He still owned the clothes he wore, travelstained as they were. And he had a spare pair of trousers, still clean. On top of that, three coppers and half a loaf of stale bread. His clothes were covered in the dust he had taken from the underdark as a drow scimitar. Besides the dust, the only thing constantly reminding him of his recent journey was the place on his cheek where the waspwoman had kissed him. He could still feel it, and didn't like it one bit. It was a mark of sorts, he decided.

Looking down on his sparse belongings, he quickly reachedthe conclusion he would have to steal tonight. Or rather, right now. He had already picked a suitable target, and old home with shuttered windows, yet with hardly any dust on the door.

Skip crept through the small yard, only to discover it was no use trying to hide in broad daylight. Instead, he backed out and walked casually to the door. Taking a deep breath, he knocked. No reply. Skip tried the door. It was open, and silently swung inwards.
Slowly, carefully, Skip entered the room, closing the door behind him. He paused, waiting for a sound. When he heard nothing, Skip let his breath out and took a fresh one. Then he proceded to check each room in turn, expecting to be discovered at any moment.

Most rooms held simple drawers or cabinets, all filled with cheap, useless junk, a copper or two, paperwork or a dead mouse. If they held anything at all. It was always the same inevery home he entered. Noone seemed to posess anything of value.
As he peered into the last room, he was finally convinced there was noone at home. He looked past glass cages to a couple of chests at the other side of the room. He moved over and tried the first. It had a lock. He picked it. AS he opened the chest and looked at it's contents, a sense of foreboding crept over him. He tore his gaze from the herbs and potions and scrolls and turned around just in time to watch an object coming down on his head, wielded by a man in a flowing green robe. His eyes rolled upward, and he vaguely noticed spiders and snakes in the cages, befoer everything went black.

Skip awoke with a headache, feeling sick and broken. He bumped along in what e thought to be a carriage. As the thief was about to throw up, he heard a man's voice muttering strange words. Seconds later, Skip was lost in a deep, restless sleep.

OOC: Would you believe it, I've been caught by flood control!
At the same time, Skip's being moved to a lonely castle in the middle of the howling wilderness...

Well, if our crusade against Lloth is ended I must return to the underdark. I'm sure my mistress has a new task for me. Perhaps our paths shall cross again in the future.

Galadria1 · 01-26-2002, 01:40 PM

GALADRIA"Be well, Velkyn. Greet your Mistress for me, and thank her for sending such a valuable asset. You may see us down there, again, as I have a feeling that our dealings with the drow are not over."

Galadria1 · 01-26-2002, 08:30 PM

OOC>> Thanks Legolas. Hmm. How are we going to find out about poor Skip? He should have just grabbed a sandwich in the kitchen. Aha! IC>>
VICONIA (Turns aside from exchanging reminisces with Valen.) "Abbil, wasn't that little Skip supposed to come back with some clothes for Valen? I thought I gave him some money, but I may have forgotten."
GALADRIA "I really don't remember, Vicky. But that worries me. Secretmaster told me that we are surrounded by spies." (She goes to her study, fills a scrying bowl, and places it on a garment that Skip had inadvertantly left behind. A few mystic passes make the water disapear, to be replaced with a view of the remote castle. "Vicky, come here!" (She comes rushing in) "Isn't that the same castle that we rescued you from? The Castle of Erawoib! He must have captured Skip!"
VICONIA "Yes, abbil, it is. I remember it too well, and the last sight of it as you and Attalus spirited me away remains burned in my memory. I have more than once vowed to kill that male, and now, we must." (After suitable preparation, they leave for the castle, hoping that Neb is still on their side.)

Neb · 01-26-2002, 08:42 PM

(OOC: Neb isn't really on your side, but neither is he against it, sometimes he'll help you and sometimes he'll oppose you, depending on what is most gainful for him or whatever impulse strikes him.)

Neb crouch on the roof of one of the castle's towers and watched the small group of adventurers heading in his direction, probably to rescue that companion of theirs which the castle's owner had recently captured.

He sat and watched them for a long time not moving even when a thunderstorm approached, the rain plastering his long dark blonde hair to his head, the wind fluttering his dark blue cloak, only when a bolt of lightning struck the roof no more than 2 feet from where he sat did he move, shapeshifting into his slithering tracker form and dribbling down between the roof tiles and into the castle, he had work to do.
