[QUOTE="kilamanjaro, post: 1562165, member: 10008"] I'm still at work (sucks to be me) but here's a summary from memory. Downer is working dungeon security for a beholder named Manglecramps. A party of adventurers penetrates the dungeon and Downer ambushes them. Two of the adventurers pursue him, a female elf wizard and a male halfling rogue. After a stand off Downer recognizes the halfling as a fellow thieves guild member. Downer lets the two go after asking the halfling to file a complaint with the guild about his working conditions and stealing a kiss from the elf. Manglecramps is not pleased that Downer let the two go and sends Downer's brother, his imp familiar, and a bugbear to fetch Downer so he can be punished. Manglecramps order his guards to execute Downer but the remains of the adventuring party have scried Downer in order to find Manglecramps. They teleport in and a melee ensues. The adventurers are revealed to actually be assassins sent by someone from Carceri who is displeased with Manglecramps. The only survivors of the battle are Downer, his brother, and the imp who slipped away during the fight. Downer collects some magical weapon the beholder had and he and his brother head for Oubliette (sp?), their home city in the underdark. Before they leave the elf wizardess reappears and blasts Downer foot off at the ankle. The imp also reapears polymorphed to look the wizardess and Downer kills him thinking that it's her. Wow this is long. [/QUOTE]
