Epilogue
Lord Korvish’s maze had been completed and the group that defeated it as a team had gone their separate ways. It was known from the start that some, more than others, had hidden agendas that would lead them in a different direction after they made it through the maze and received their wish.
The Drow known as Belasco Banrae departed on his own, ready to explore more of the surface world, while the aspiring Shadow Dancer Prynne rejoined her “sisters” in the rogue’s guild, The Sisters of Shadow.
The others, like Elmond, Hrolga and Mar who were all prisoners of the maze, thanked the adventurers who were bold enough to brave the maze and went their separate ways.
Before departing, Lord Korvish supplied Dent with the information he needed about the murder of his parents. He was given a map of the dreaded Rappan Athuk, which is where he would find the villains responsible for the death of his parents. During this time, Nuttin was given a private chamber where he could activate his wish to spend the day with his beloved wife. Lox and Dent were well fed and entertained while waiting for their friend to complete his wish.
Venus also spent an extra day contemplating what to do about his new abilities and powers. He thought of Belasco and thought of how he himself reacted when he found out Belasco was a drow. He was shocked and uneasy, and thought of all the evil things he had been taught about the drow. Would people react the same to him since he was part vampire? He thought long and hard on how to prove he was not the same as the evil Vampress that changed his life forever. His thoughts kept going back to the ways he was different from Veerdra…she was cursed to stay in the shadow of night, never to walk in the rays of the sun, while he was considered a “day walker,” who was blessed enough to remain unharmed by the warmth and light he loved.
“Thank Lathander,” he thought to himself.
It was then that he came to his decision. He would devote himself to The Morninglord, the great god Lathander. He would strive to aid and foster new hope, ideas and prosperity as the clerics of Lathander taught. He had to have hope, and he must support new ideas if he was to survive and be accepted as the creature he now was.
Before Dent and the halflings departed, Venus approached them with his new found hope and explained to them what he had decided to do. The trio was happy to see the valiant warrior beaming and exuberant, and offered him to travel with them to smite evil. He gladly accepted Dent’s offer, (which delighted Lox, “Oh, wow! We’ll have a vampire in the party, and we’ll be the most famous adventuring party in all the world!”).
Before the group departed however, they heard an all too familiar sound.
“Ullgh…wwlllrrghhh…wwwuuullllhhhh…”
Again Lox was delighted, and as Dent and the group came to realize, they couldn’t have gotten rid of the Spleckle if they tried. He just seemed to follow them where ever they traveled, even to the hellish dungeon of graves known as Rappan Athuk.
