[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8817245, member: 7030144"] Session 48 (October 30, 2022) 8 Kas (cont’d) They continue hurrying along down the passageway, into the unknown. The passage turns clockwise as it cuts steeply down. Soon, they are passing beneath the chamber they were previously fighting in. Iados scouts ahead by a short distance, followed by Noah and the uruks with the resonator, followed by Ravokris and Sister Agnes. Elyn is bringing up the rear, and can see light behind them, likely chasing them—but the light is not closing rapidly. They soon come upon a toll booth structure, staffed by 4 male drow and a priestess of Lolth who emerges from a small stone building as they approach. "Hail, travelers!" "Hello," calls back Noah. The priestess speaks. "You don't look like... what is that thing you're carrying?" She makes a couple of gestures, and she says, "that is an abomination." They've all now stopped, and in the distance they hear marching at double time. Elyn calls forward, "Can you help destroy it? We need to move. There are very, very powerful forces approaching." "Hanalian troops would dare intrude into the Underdark?" asks the priestess haughtily. The person who is obviously the male lieutenant gets a worried expression. "May I ask if you know how many of them there are?" Noah replies, "A lot. Let's see... in a standard Hanalian field army, there are 5000, organized in legions of 1000 and companies of 100." "Not the time for math," mutters Elyn. "Could be 100 or 1000. But I'm not sure of the organization of the royal guards..." The lieutenant grimaces, sure about what will soon happen. "Your reverence, may I suggest humbly that we permit these good folks to proceed on with this abomination and go their way, while we attempt to prepare a defense against this intrusion?" "Good luck," says Noah. "We firmly believe in your noble cause of defending your homeland." She reluctantly nods, he moves aside the toll barrier, and they hurry through as she starts to cast spells in preparation. Just beyond the barricade, the tunnel splits three ways. The center descends even faster, while there are passages to left and right that seem roughly level. Since left would take them towards the lake and beneath areas they have already been to, they head to the right, hoping to find a way to the surface. Behind them, they hear the priestess’s voice call out, “Stop in the name of House Kilsik!” They then hear the sounds of violence behind them. A few rounds later, the legion continues on, unfortunately following our heroes. After about a day of travel—miles and miles along the corridor—Sister Agnes is fatigued. The uruks, fortunately, are indefatigable. The enemy, however, is also falling behind. Elyn can no longer hear them, nor see any light from them. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
