Carcelon takes a step back, ready to use her Circlet if it attacks.
"Kripp, is there another way around? I'd rather not try and go through it unless necessary."

Narcelia dreams.


The Demonweb. Vast. Unending. Strands of Web in the Gloom as far as the eye can see.

In the distance, the soul of a female drow flees along a great strand of the web, running in terror as if the strand were paved stone.

Behind the female drow, a vast, insane, mutated spider gibbers as it pursues the fleeing female.

Closer they come to where Narcelia is watching.

Narcelia recognizes the fleeing drow. She is Dorina T'sarran. In the Abyss, Dorina has lost her vampiric abilities and is just another soul to be harvested by the Predators of the Demonweb.

The Huge Spider is almost upon Dorina, when Dorina runs through a white burst of light and is gone.

The disappointed monstrosity gibbers to itself and goes in search of other prey.

Elsewhere...

The naked drow female Dorina rises from the floor.

She looks in wonder at her fully restored body. Her lips run across her teeth and notice the absence of fangs.

The she sees her mother. Skin as white as bone, a look of hatred and fury upon her face.

Behind her mother, her brother stands in full plate armor and holding his dire flail. A wave of terror radiates from the red eyes behind the helm.

...
 

The Matron runs a pair of fingers over the cold dead face of Torellan's latest victim, looking into his empty eyes with a pensive expression."You have done well, my son," she says without looking at him. "And you have earned an eminent position in our twin houses. The times are changing and the traditions of the past are weakening. We are no longer what we were," she smiles, "and striving to remake the past will only hold us back. Merits, competence and loyalty will carry greater weight than gender when it is time to rebuild our power after peace has been won." She turns to her oldest surviving son, "Yes, I see that you understand. Hold that knowledge close to your heart, for we can ill afford division now."

ooc: They are alone in the Matron's quarters.

"Thank you mother, I will indeed hold the words close to my heart. They'll all be safely stored in my drawer."
Torellan's dead skin was pulled tight across his face as he smiled a toothsome smile. Despite the drawbacks of undead-dom, Torellan had had a blast running along the ceilings of the fortress in dire wolf form and scaring the happless guards to half death.
"But unfortunately I can't keep many of these under control. There's no practical limit to how many I can make, but I believe four is the maximum I can hold under my will."
 


Kripp steps behnd the Bugbear and fires his Wand of Fleshripper at the Worm. He had seen similar things before, but never as close or as big...

'Worm would have us, Goblin Big, for supper! Is the usual state, eates worm, does the Fish!'
The Kuo-Toa laughs to himself at the irony, a fish eaten by a worm. Oh, the indignity!
 

ooc: control a number of "hit dice" up to two times your HD. i.e. 12th level can control 24 HD.

A black claw flies through the air and rips at the mouth of the worm.

The massive worm has been horriblely wounded, but it continues it ponderous movement straight towards the party of adventurers.

It either knows you are in its path and intends to swallow you, or it does not care.
 

Kilcif the Cunning

Faced with an attack upon Carcelon, Kilcif mechanically follows his orders from the Matron to defend Carcelon against the oncoming Worm.

Facing his own death, Kilcif's goblinoid fears overcome the Matron's domination effect. Kilcif's mind break free of its shackles.

Kilcif the Cunning is reborn.
