House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

[Paxus Asclepius]

Tierak pauses to examine the glyphs (at a distance, and from cover); if they are runic wards, she'd rather not stumble across them blindly.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Seeing no way to protect Carcelon from what ever waits for her in the middle of the lake Kilcif simples nods his head and whispers quietly to surface elven to her, “Be careful and don’t trust any father than you can swim.”

He makes a simple gesture from the armor she is wearing to the water that could easily become her tomb.

OOC: Yeah I know I’m late but I thought I should at least point it out anyhow…

 

[Xael]

After the audience with Solom is over, Quertus bows to Matron and leaves to his business. His first priority is to find Torellan and give him the gold got from his stuff (2 558gp's worth). After that, he proceeds to finally check out the temple for any additional traps. And then he goes back to his studies.

 

[Dalamar]

"Just this? You should really brush up your salesman's skills", Torellan says with a grin, knowing quite well that Quertus couldn't have gotten much more from the items.

 

[Endur]

Tierak thinks they look like most other runic glyphs she has seen. The Red Wizard even has runic glyphs on his skin.

After the Drow invite him to come with them to meet the Matron, the Red Wizard agrees.

His high-pitched voice drips arrogance and you take an instant dislike to the Red Wizard.

The Wizard crosses the glyphs without suffering any ill effects.

As the group heads deeper into the Dodrien Crypts, Zieggrek hears the voices of more surface worlders entering the Crypts through the main entrance.

"Camaraderie, adventure, and steel on steel.
The stuff of legend! Right Boo?"

"Squeek!"

"Squeek!"

Zieggrek pauses. As he realizes that the Matron had not ordered them to return with anyone else but the wizard, he whispers to Tierak, "Zieggrek hears more surface-sum. Should Zieggrek send them to the Abyss?"

Zieggrek pauses. As he realizes that the Matron had not ordered them to return with anyone else but the wizard, he whispers to Tierak, "Zieggrek hears more surface-sum. Should Zieggrek send them to the Abyss?"

"No, I believe caution is in order." Tierak requests that one of the Bebiliths investigate them ethereally.

"No, I believe caution is in order." Tierak requests that one of the Bebiliths investigate them ethereally.

Zieggrek settles back on his haunches with a rather disappointed look and eyes the Red Wizard, wondering if these are some of his companions. Then he proceeds to wonder if the Red Wizard tastes different from other humans, because of the tattoos.

 

[Endur]

The Bebilith stares at Tierak as if it does not quite comprehend Tierak. The Bebilith sends a mental image of the Bebilith slaying a surface worlder.

Quertus tries out his new Scrying spell in the Inverted Tower's scrying room.

He is unable to scry upon Narcelia.

Trying for Menzoberanzan, Quertus is much more successful. The buildings of the city seems to have recovered from the slave revolt, but there is much commotion in the city.

One of the Major Houses on the Ruling Council, House Agrach Dyrr, seems to be under siege from several of the other houses on the Ruling Council, including House Baenre and House Barrison del Armgo.

Fierce Battles rage in the stone caverns surrounding Menzoberanzan, as drow defenders battle Gray Dwarves from Gracklstugh and an army of half-fiends.

Trying to scry upon another drow city, Quertus focuses on the city of Shimmering Webs, Ched Nassad. At first, he thinks that protection spells have re-directed his scrying, for all he sees is an empty stone cavern. Then he realizes that there are bits and pieces of rubble at the bottom of the chasm and that he is looking at Ched Nassad. The city has been completely destroyed; all of the great webs that suspended the city in the chasm are gone. Quertus does not know what sort of spell could have destroyed a entire drow city, but whatever it was, must have been very thorough. Not one building remains intact in the great cavern of Ched Nassad. The only creatures in sight are kobolds looting the rubble at the bottom of the chasm.
