[QUOTE="DoctorB, post: 177501, member: 903"] [b]Escape from the Underdark[/b] The Salutorum appears as a large golden goblet, nine inches in diameter with four gems set on the outsides amid intricate scenes of hospitals and battlefield medicine. Titansbane is more impressive. The Dwarven Greataxe seems entirely made of mithril with intricately carved scenes of dwarven victories over giants with a spike at the top of the axe blades. Onyx held the weapon through the night but after a short discussion in the morning, Karl agreed to carry it until it could be given to one with a stronger familial claim. As soon as he grasped the weapon, Karl seemed more confident, more warlike. Cobbe worried that he might stay behind to fight any giants they encountered and get Karl killed but said nothing. With everyone healed, the Champions prepared to find the drow chamber held against them again. This time, when Liana snuck closer though, she heard something to her left in the drow quarters. It sounded like a voice talking to itself or chanting. When she returned to tell the others, they decided to take the opposite way through the chamber and avoid whoever it might be. When they approached the chamber again, Liana saw an elven figure, going through the clothes of one of the giants killed the day before. He looked thin even for a drow elf and his clothes hung in rags around him. As soon as he looked up and saw the group of people coming towards him, he started and then seemed to concentrate a moment before vanishing into thin air. No scroll, no spellcasting, he just vanished. Though intrigued by this strange creature, the Champions resolved to move on toward the Dwarvenrealm and safety. As they left the chamber back toward the river of lava and the “Father” Liana caught a glimpse of a figure moving along the ceiling following them. The rogue continued to scout ahead of the others, and as soon as she heard sounds at the crossroads they had avoided on the way in, Onyx made the entire group invisible while Joy called on the Lady for silence so even Cobbe in his heavy armor could sneak past.
