House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Endur]

Dorina responds coldly, "The only ally any drow needs is Kiaransalee.

"But you are quite right regarding my lack of interest in your blood. I prefer to drink the blood of priestesses of Lolth.

"Please feel free to negotiate with Matron Ki'Willis. But you do not have my permission to enter the Drow noble level."

Dorina and her invisible non-humanoid companions vanish (turn to gaseous form and float down the canyon).

Dorina responds coldly, "The only ally any drow needs is Kiaransalee.

Laughing quietly at the Ignorance of this upstart follower of some false Deity, Kripp looks to Kilcif, all the while wondering what the Drow would think when
The Lord of All that Swims In Darkness makes his will known. Soon now..much more soon than these Drow thought.The status and situation within the Realm of the Drow was disturbing to Kripp's Lord, and he meant to see what there was to all of this talk of the Silence.
'Goblyn-Big, what now. Kripp no climb down Webs, Respect for whatever these Webs spun, and respect for words, from Undead lips spoke. Kripp not welcome, to demnese of Noble Drow, is obvious.'

Later.

Matron Ki'Willis, Carcelon, and Kilcif approach the entrance to the Shrine of Lolth. The guardpost is empty and there are no guards in sight. The entrance to the shrine is a web-filled chute.

Ki'Willis remembers that the webs will pass and act as a ladder for a worshipper of Lolth to levitate or climb up the chute. Non-worshippers, such as Kilcif, would be prevented from entering the shrine by the entangling web. Ki'Willis thinks there is a command word to deactivate the webs to allow a non-worshipper access to the shrine, but she does not remember the command word.

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron unlocks her bracelet*, a silver circle adorned with an onyx spider, and offers it to Kilcif. She speaks quietly; "This will allow you to move trough the web without being entangled. It will do nothing to protect you from the other traps Dorina might have placed here." she gestures up the chute, "Go. Carcelon and I will follow."

ooc:
*Bracelet of Arachnida (As the cloak, silver adorned with an onyx spider) 6750

 

[Pyrex]

Carcelon keeps close watch, ready to Dispel any magical traps.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Before: cliff side

Kilcif keeps his mouth shut with the appearance of the female drow appears, not out of respect or fear but just to keep it simple but he is shocked to find Dorina doing guard duty and not a lacy of some sort.

Looking at Kripp, “You heard Dorina head back to the common area and if House Millithor has any use for you, you will be so informed.”

Mad, angry, and annoyed about the whole thing Kilcif departs down the side of the cliff with his immovable rod make shift ladder.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif takes the small bracelet hoping that it’s magic will allow it increase his size but if it doesn’t he will bend it open and into place. He wonders about his medallion of Hruggek but hesitates to ask the Matron. Knowing that religions and spells are not something he knows a lot of he finally pulls it out to show her.

“Is this going to be an issue?”

When that’s resolved he speaks again, “Step where I step.”

Kilcif will take the lead going slow and looking for traps if he suspects something he will hold up his hand to stop the others.

OOC: If the medallion is he will ask about putting it in his backpack, it is a bag of holding after all. If that will not work he will hide the medallion at the front of the entrance. Aka like in a pile of dirt, a crack in the all. On a ledge above eye level that no one will be able to see. For traps: lots and lots of spot checks (+ 14). He will also stop and do listen checks (+15).

 

[Endur]

As Kilcif climbs up the shaft, almost immediately purple writing appears on the wall. Then the purple burns off the wall and momentarily appears on Kilcif. Then the writing disappears. Kilcif feels much weaker, but still strong enough to continue climbing up the wall to the shrine. Carcelon attempted to dispel the magical effect, but her attempt failed. Carcelon and Matron Ki'Willis realize that Kilcif triggered a Glyph of Warding with a Bestow Curse spell (-6 to con permanently) and that the glyph was a one-use magical trap.

On the surface, after five hours of traveling through the blizzard, the drow finally see the outlines of buildings. Narcelia, Quertus, and Torellan are "fatigued" (can't run or charge, -2 to str and dex) from the cold. Narcelia took 7 points of subdual damage, Quertus took 2 points of subdual damage, and Torellan took 10 points of subdual damage from the cold.

Zedar heads towards a building with a steeple.

There are buildings all around you, but the snow obscures what you can see. One building appears to still have lights in it (possibly an inn?).

 

[Uriel]

Kripp wnders at the pointless trip to the Chasm and heads back to the Commoner Area, contemplating just going back to the Lake, then remembering that it was hard to become rich while sitting in one's home.

Once at the Commoners Area, he looks for somewhere to get food,preferably something raw and meaty.

 

[Endur]

Kripp wonders if the stream that crosses the cavern has some tasty fish in it. Then he sees the pond/small lake that the streem feeds into, and realizes that there are definite possibilities in the small lake.

As he wades out into the lake, Kripp suddenly realizes that he is not the only inhabitant of this lake. There are tentacled creatures in the lake.
