[QUOTE="Sniktch, post: 448146, member: 7704"] Quinn healed Jack and Malobar, but the group as a whole was now badly hurt and needed to withdraw and rest. Artimas had an ugly thought. “Where’s the female?” he asked, but no one had seen her. She had disappeared into the globe of darkness and not resurfaced for the rest of the battle. “Ugh,” sighed Grick and collapsed on the floor, fishing through his pack for the extra bottle he kept stashed. Welby, still breathing hard from the exertion of the battle, pointed down the hallway. “She must go this way. Welby find?” “Nah, we should go together. Best that way, if’n she went ta find friends. But we should find ‘er now, I don’t think we wanna leave ‘er runnin loose,” Jack said. “One thing bothers me here,” Artimas stroked his whiskers thoughtfully. “She was obviously a priestess of Lolth; she wore the symbol and she was a female. That should have made her our most powerful opponent, from what I know of drow. And yet, other than using that wand I can’t recall her casting a single spell, and she seems to have run away as soon as she was attacked.” Malobar shrugged, “She may have been an acolyte, who knows? But I do agree with Jack – we should catch her, if possible.” They moved down the hallway in a state of extreme paranoia, expecting more black-skinned killers to strike from the gloom at any instant. It opened into a smaller chamber, the floor swept clean of bones and skulls, which were now piled against the walls. The elf activated his powers of blindsight and confirmed that this room really was a dead end. A clatter attracted their attention from a mound of skulls near the far end of the catacomb. All attention focused upon the pile as everyone prepared for another attack. The female drow stepped from behind her hiding place, realizing she had given herself away. Seeing the array of might before her, she threw the wand to the ground, then drew her dagger and tossed that aside also. She regarded them all with a face that could have been lovely if not for the hateful sneer that marred its delicate features. She spoke then, her words a venomous hiss that knifed through the silence: “You will regret this affront to the Spider Queen, surface dwelling scum! I must admit defeat… I surrender myself to your mercy.” Next: Conversations with the drow (next session – we are all caught up for now) [/QUOTE]
