[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 522473, member: 1813"] [SIZE=3]Session 4[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]“Entering the underdark”[/SIZE] With a flash, Entropy, Hor'ahun, and Noir appeared in a large chamber in the Underdark. As expected, everything was pitch black though Hor'ahun could see by virtue of his Githzerai heritage. Entropy and Noir, however, relied on their magical lenses to grant them sight in this lightless place. Somewhat surprised to see these three suddenly appear was the Desmodu adept Bandar. He quickly arose to his towering height of 9 ft, expecting a possible attack. However, Bandar quickly surmised the identity of his "guests" using his bat-like sonar echo-location. His expression changed to one of relief, "Greetings my friends, what brings you to our home?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Months ago, Dante had first met Bandar quite fortuitously. Attempting to escape the overwhelming power of the vampire Gulthias, the Cleric of Oghma managed to escape into an underground tunnel. After running for what seemed like hours, he settled down in a relatively hidden alcove and began to meditate. Not wishing to attract any of the dangerous denizens of the Underdark, the priest decided to extinguish his light spell. Luckily for Dante, the first creatures he met were the benevolent Desmodu, or bat people. They escorted him to their leader, who was impressed by the clerics knowledge on various topics.

Although Dante was able to slay one of them and significantly harry the rest, the assassins were successful in their grisly task. Unfortunately, the assassins failed to realized that Dante was a high-ranking priest capable of potent restoration magic. Calling on Oghma, Dante brought a very grateful Bandar back from the dead. Following this incident, Dante contacted the remainder of his companions. Under the leadership of Joachim, the remainder of the party had managed to slay Gulthias.
