Chapter Forty: The Underdark Pt. 5
Entering the Drow city was easy enough. We were told to speak to a dark elf named Solaufein, who could be found by the male fighter's society house. Inside, I stole some magic items then asked for directions to any place of interest in Ust Natha. The Drow certainly know how to make beautiful, if cold, architecture. From what little I witnessed of slaves being killed at the gates, I knew I wouldn't want to live there! After getting the directions, we made our way to the society building. The group encountered a human mage-girl who was running from someone. That someone soon passed us and asked which way she went. We lied ![]() Then we found Solaufein. He's kind of cute for a skinny guy ![]() He gave us instructions to meet him and a "Matron Mother" at the gate. When we got there, we were to accompany him to save someone important from some Ilithid. He told us to meet him in no more than an hour. Outside, on the way there, we got ambushed by a group of adventurers! It's too bad we had no choice but to kill them. Though, good loot was to be had from one of them! Before Solaufein talked to us, we set some traps. He informed us he would summon the Ilithid. Unfortunately, he didn't inform us he'd be summoning them one at a time! All of the traps killed one but the other two attacked right away! Thank Brandobaris for Aerie not getting parylyzed! She freed us all with one spell and tthe slaughter of squid-faces commenced! This woman we rescued, a dark elf by the name of Phaere, ordered us to meet her at the city. Solaufein had a few choice words to give about her. We asked what his problem was, and here's what he said: "Oh, I boffed her in Menzoberanzan once!" (20 points to whoever says the real quote and what movie it comes from!) At the city, Phaere instructed us to meet her at the Tavern in a day. With nothing else to do, we went to the tavern where I entered a dueling contest and systematically beat every monster they threw at us! Then, the others entered a dueling contest against other drow. However, Imoen kept annoying the drow mages by backstabbing them ![]() After that, we met Phaere who had another job for us. Kill a beholder. Twas easy enough, and again she ordered us to meet her in three days. Then a gnome informs us some fish wants to talk to us. The fish informed us he knew we were surfacers! Then blackmailed us: get Quilue's brain or be revealed. With no choice, we went and killed Quilue, a priestess of Llolth. Minsc used a spoon to spoon out her brains ![]() After that, we needed to waste some time. We whiled away the time by talking to some Githyanki about the latest rumors: Pictured left from right in Drow Illusion: Aerie, Imoen, Minsc, Jaheira, Jerr Then we saw a Djinn being tortured by Drow! I recognized him as the Djinn from Irenicus's Chateau! He was so nice...we couldn't just let them continue torturing him, so Aerie and Imoen returned him to his plain with a few magic missiles. The head torturer got mad and demanded 4000 gold for recompensation! Normally I'd refuse to pay and a fight would ensue. However, Jaheira reminded us why we were there so I gave the woman 4000 gold! Thanks alot Jaheira! We decided to see Phaere early. Our next job was to kill some underground gnomes. Aerie objected to killing them, which Phaere questioned until I interrupted and said that they'd probably make much better slaves. Phew! The lady bought it. However, she said we needed to make an example of them. Solaufein said he'd be waiting for us outside of the city. I didn't like the prospect of killing the cute gnomes, so I convinced Sola that I could kill some "measly" gnomes on my own. He decided to go back to the city after that. Then I told the gnome captain I needed his helmet for a bet I made, or I'd be made to dress up as Lady Alustriel of Silverymoon. The captain, not wanting to die by a drow hand, gave me the helm. I made sure to tell him to tell his superiors to organize a bigger tribute before the next time the Drow come a-callin''. We met Phaere and Sola at the tavern. Sola mentioned her nose job, which got us all snickering! Then she ordered to talk to us alone. At her house, we were to kill Sola. Jaheira suggested I strike a deal with the elf. At Sola's house, I spared his life, on one condition: Show us your dance of Joy! Then we gave his cloak to Phaere. Sola told us he was her ex before he left and she kept demanding what we were laughing about. I covered up by saying Sola had soiled himself when he died, to which she laughed. Then she demands to see me in her room! I reluctantly go in there. It turns out she has one thing, and one thing only on her mind... Minsc. She wanted Minsc. I sighed in relief and called Minsc in. Two hours later, and the happiest we've seen Phaere since we met her, she ordered us to meet her at the temple of Llolth. Minsc wasn't too happy, though. When pressed for details, poor Minsc broke down and cried, "No, not the clamps! NOT THE CLAMPS!" At the temple, we met Matron Ardulence. She had a job for us, find the blood of an elder orb, an elder brain, and a Kua-Toa prince. Luckily I had these things already ![]() Phaere ordered us to her house. Minsc flinched at the idea and went fetal position! Aerie had to cast "Remove Fear" on him to get him cooperating. On the way to Phaere's place, we met a wizard named Visaj who boasted of a magical rope that would get me into the foreboding tower just south of us. I arched my eyebrow and smiled wide. Imoen and I looked at each other and began giggling, much to the rest of the group's dismay. We still had at least half and hour to stage a robbery ![]() At the house, the rope nullified the wards. As soon as we entered, though, a Lich attacked us! His name was Dierex and twas his house! Immediately we all attacked. Unfortunately, just before I landed a killing blow he cast Imprisonment on me! I called him a few expletives as the lich hit the ground and the whole party was transported away. We found ourselves in a nicely furnished room with an interestingly dressed Dark Elf. His name was Jarlaxle. His rope had saved us. This was the mercenary that Visaj had mentioned! He offered us a deal, steal the soul gems holding his captured men or be revealed to the city and be tortured with tentacle rods and Neeber until we were sacrificed to Llolth. We chose the former. After looting everything on the first floor of Dierex's tower, we were teleported away again! It turns out they weren't trapped souls of his men, just very very very valuable gems. Jarlaxle said we could go. He also mentioned that since we had the Jae'Lat Wardstone, we could rob their house now. Imoen and I couldn't resist big smiles after he mentioned that. This Jarlaxle is one man worthy of great respect! We quickly hurried to Phaere's house, but some stupid priestess demanded we kill some cult southeast or Dierex's Tower! We couldn't disobey, or our cover would be blown. So we hurriedly killed the cultists. Then Phaere offered us a deal. We would be powerful if we helped her betray the Matron. She told us we could replace the dragon eggs with fake ones she had made. Since this would lead us to the eggs, we took the deal. Before going to the temple, Imoen and I really wanted to rob the Jae'Lat house! So we all quickly cast some spells and entered the house! The plan was simple, cast insect plague, chain lightining, and chain lightining. The plan worked! Though the Drow guards didn't panic like most people do when Insect Plague is cast on them, they all went down fast enough! Then we faced the matron of the family and her entourage! They weren't as easy as the guards, but they were certainly easier than Demodorkan. We ignored the magical adamantine weapons and armor, as they don't sell for much either way. The haul was good though. I so love robbing houses, especially when they're inhabited by evil evil bastards ![]() After our daring robbery, we quickly went to the slave pens to try and free the slaves. They cost me little gold to free, and arm. I quickly explained they should get to the surface. Then Sola appears out of nowhere and offers us some fake eggs to give to Phaere. He gives Minsc a knowing nod, and Minsc nods back with tears brimming his eyes. Then at the Temple, in the room where the eggs were stored, we had to fight 8 FRIGGIN' CLAY GOLEMS! EIGHT! Good thing I stole that Rod of Smiting, or we'd have died. We quickly headed to Phaere's house to give her the fake eggs Sola gave us. Then she orders us to go back to the temple.

(The Final part of Ch 40)
It turns out they only wanted the eggs to make some Omelets anyway! We quickly left the city where Sola met us outside. He wanted to join our party. I let him join seeing as how he made it a point to hit on me while asking ![]() Adalon thanked us for her eggs, and gave us a crossbow. Then she teleported us to the Drow entrance to the surface after dispelling her Illusion. A fight ensued, again we were victorious. Adalon bid us a fond farewell. Now on to the surface.

I forgot to add, Ust Natha must have been in total chaos after I eliminated the Jae'Lat family, freeing all of the slaves, AND killing the two high ranking members of House Despana!
Chapter Forty-One: On the Surface After we entered the exit from the Underdark, Sola said it wouldn't do to have a bunch of elves see him on the surface and told us he'd meet us after we got past the Elves. When we finally got to the surface, we were interrogated by anelf named Elhan. He seems to know of Irenicus. Then he sent us on a quest to retrieve the Lanthorn from Bodhi. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, especially when it's an army of elves [img]smile.gif[/img] After that, we were reunited with Sola. We headed to my keep to snag some items (all of them), then take a short vacation to prepare for the battles to come. Sola and I ended up dating after the first few days. He refuses to let me fatten him up though ![]() Everyone laughed at us when I was chasing him around the Keep with a leg of lamb screaming, "Come back here and stuff yer face!" Also, it seems that the extra helpings of sugar I've been pouring into his food isn't working as well. I guess elves have a naturally high metabolism that makes them skinny. Nalia's aunt would trade her soul for that I wager [img]tongue.gif[/img] Then Sola got attacked by some spiders! They were far far far far far far far far too strong so we ended up hasting and setting traps all over the place until they died! As if it weren't enough, a handmaiden teleported us away and Sola had to fight her alone! Being the opportunist I am, I set up betting as to who would win. We all hoped it was Sola. Much to our surprise, Sola's godess granted him temporary full resistance against everything imagineable, and temporary immortality as well! Sola won, yay! (Yes I cheated! So sue me! Try winning honorably after changing your tactics for the fortieth time! I swear these Sola fights are a THOUSAND TIMES harder than normal Amylessan!) Then we all headed to the city after the battle for some much needed spending.

Chapter Forty-Two: Forging Alliances and Coran We Meet Again
After resupplying we headed to the Temple of Ilmater to put Yoshimo's soul to rest. Then we headed to Cromwell's to get some items made. After that, to Aran Linvail. I made it a point to mention what I found in those crate shipments we had to help Mook guard way back when ![]() Then at the Order of the Radiant Heart, a squire told me he was following the stories all about me. When I mentioned a vampire, he took me to see the Prelate. The man agreed to send his best knights. As an aside, he mentioned he once dated Bodhi. I forgot to mention Sola got Drizzt Do'Urden on our side as well! I finally got to meet my idol, Regis. Though Sola wasn't too happy that I tried to sneak in a kiss ![]() ![]() Then we headed to the Small Teeth Pass to while away the time killing monsters. We also found another more secluded graveyard in the forest being looted. No one loots graves around me! Well... unless it's me of course then it's ok. We got attacked by the grave robbers so we fought back. Then at the Forest of Tethir (?) we all had to battle goblins, Wyvern cultists, and Kua-Toa! Much to our joy, we met Coran again. Apparently he needs help rescuing Safana from some monsters. Jaheira snorted, commenting that she's surprised the insipid husband-coveting wench was still alive. We were to meet him in the Northeast. It came as no surprise that Safana was actually working with the werewolves! Coran arrived just in time to find this out, and watch the leader kill Safana. It was very inappropriate for Jaheira to laugh maniacally when Safana was killed, but we didn't tell her as much. A few dead werewolves later, Coran apologized and commented it was just as well anyway. He had been planning on dumping Safana. Jaheira still couldn't stop laughing though. Coran said we were welcome to stay at his cabin since he was heading to Athkatla to go drinking. He forgot to mention it was haunted by mists though! Since we were doing the elf a service by killing the mists, I took the opportunity to claim payment with whatever items of worth he had stored there ![]() [ 02-13-2005, 11:56 PM: Message edited by: Jerr Conner ]

Chapter Forty-Three: Killing Bodhi
At the Graveyard district, Bodhi had the audacity to kidnap my boyfriend! Time for a Morticia-Wannabe to DIE! We met Drizzt, some Knights, and Thieves at the crypt. The vampires weren't too hard to kill. That was until we met Bodhi and Vamped Sola! Bodhi was easier to kill than Vamped Sola! Luckily 3 Ruby Ray of Reversals and Minsc hitting him with the Mace of Disruption saved me. Unfortunately, Imoen, Jaheira, and Aerie died! Minsc nearly died, and so did I! Oddly enough, Drizzt died. Oh how am I going to explain that to Regis!? One of the greatest heroes ever died to a lich-form of my boyfriend who seemed to be able to cast Prot. from Magic Weapons and every other spell unlimited times!? Anyway, we found out how to bring Sola back. Of course we were almost tempted to leave his body in the graveyard, but then I remembered that I was dating him ![]() Looks like we gotta res him. He was happy to see us.

Yeesh, I heard some stories of lich-sola, but... he killed Drizzt??? Remind me to never get that mod [img]smile.gif[/img] On the other hand, it makes for good storytelling: "I survived, but DRIZZT didn't! HAH!"

Chapter Forty-Four: Suldanessalar
Did I mention we returned the Acorns to the Dryad Queen? After a brief rest at the Keep, we decided to see Elhan. On the way to Elhan, some of the encampment's elves were attacked by Drow so we helped them. They were a bit surprised that Sola, a Drow, was helping them. Elhan was a bit wary when he saw Sola, but I explained where I go my boyfriend doth go! Elhan guided us to his city using the Lanthorn. We couldn't admire the beauty too long so we hurried to find a priestess named Demin, which Elhan had mentioned. On the way, we saved some elven kids, and met an old teacher of Sola's. He explained he'd take care of the guy, mentioning briefly he'd finally get payback for all of those F's they gave him in wizardry school! The fight wasn't long. Then we all met Demin, who informed us of how to release the Seldarine avatar. She also told us the "shame" Elhan had spoken of when concerning Irenicus. We'll get to that later. Anyway, we nearly died in the city proper trying to attain these items so we took a rest. Then we had to kill a dragon, thank Brandobaris for Traps and stupid dragons who follow you to them! I got some nice elven chain mail from that Dragon. Then at the temple, we were too lazy to fight the squatters within so I quickly put the required items in front of the statue that would summon the Avatar. I liked the looks on the squatter's faces when the avatar appeared and kicked their lop-sided butts ![]() At the Tree of Life, I got some more acorns and we opened up the secret passage. I told everyone they could leave if they want since it's my fight, but the sods refused! We all had a good cry, commenting how much we love each other. Ellisime's spirit told us what we had to do. After killing the parasites, Ellisime and the group confronted Irenicus. "Jonaleth! Please stop this madness?" Ellisime asked. "I cannot, all I have is my revenge!" "Don't you remember our love?" "I am sorry, I do not!" Irenicus ranted, "After my exile I tried replicating it but I could not! I shall have revenge on the elven pantheon for exiling me for performing THE MACARENA!!" Then we battled, and I won. Unfortunately, we all somehow ended up dying and now we're in Hell. Bugger! ![]()
