House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Dalamar]

Xael says that Quertus will Disintegrate the half-elf.

And Torellan will drink that potion and then proceed throwing daggers from a safe distance to the black-bearded man.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

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

Kilcif ponders the word of the Matron, Between the two of you, you do not have the spell prepared? That might be true but I doubt it’s by your choice…

Watching the matron walk in front of him and into the danger of the traps, Kilcif finds himself quite happy with that change, Don’t catch an arrow “my dear”. I’m sure you will seek to punish me, but I was hired for my combat and not my trap finding skills.

When the Matron tells him to stay he’s slightly shocked but bows slight hoping that his show of respect will put her in a better mood, Then again, you should live up to your end of the bargain before asking extra from me…

As Kilcif watches them depart his sense of dread resurfaces…

OOC: Kilcif trust nothing in this place he is going try and hide (+14) in the shadows, and spot (+12) and listen (+15) for anything and everything. He keeps a close eye on that alter too.

 

[Thels]

Ouch! This is more than a mere peasant, carefull now. Dariel turns around, facing the blackbearded man, maneuvering himself to stay away from flanked positions, getting his back to a wall when possible.

 

[Seonaid]

Narcelia looks slightly puzzled. "He could have raised his own army against us, or he could prevent us from raising? I don't completely understand." She follows a pace behind him as he picks up the women, keeping an eye out for more danger.

 

[Uriel]

The Matron answers Kripp with a nod of her own, slightly more cordial than one might expect from a woman in her position, and smiles as she sits down at his table. "Common enemies can surely be found, mr Kripp, this hard world is full of enemies and prescious few allies worthy of the name. House Millithor holds no animosity towards the Kuo-Toa or your Gods. We have traded with your people trough L'Tarannen Del'Elgluth and have found that a continuation of our peaceful relations will be of mutual benefit. We will not ask you to betray the institutions that you treasure, whatever else we may require of you. I cannot be more specific, the future is clouded and we will ever adapt to the demands of reality. Our ultimate goal is power, everything else is a means to that end. Join us and, if you share our goal, you will not be disappointed."

Nodding his assent,Kripp asks the Drow Matron 'Endeavors what, Drow upon where help, Kripp could provide,Matron?Kripp now, ready..'

 

[Endur]

As Ki'Willis looks through the shattered iron gate, a short curving privacy wall blocks her view of the inner fane. In order to see the inner fane, she will have to pass through the iron gate and go around the privacy wall.

A plush, bloodstained carpet covers the floor. The air feels thick and unusually cold.

 

[Endur]

Quertus pointed at the half-elf wizard and a green ray emitted from his finger. The half-elf almost dodged out of the way, but the green ray struck her leg. The half-elf's leg turned to dust, and the rest of her crumbled to dust within a handful of seconds.

Torellan throws his two adamatine daggers at the black bearded human (narrowly missing Marckarius with one dagger), and both strike the human hard (for 17 points).

Marckarius swings his flail several times and the lion on his shield comes alive and bites the black bearded human. The dust-covered human suffers several minor wounds.

Dariel's twin short swords shred the unarmed black bearded human He finishes the human off by driving his adamantine short sword through the black bearded human's eye into his brain, killing him (critical sneak attack for 29; another critcial sneak attack for 26; sneak attack for 13-10; critical sneak attack for 20-10)

The gray-haired human who originally wielded the magic sword runs towards the sword lying upon the ground. Quertus cries out, "Hold" in the drow language, and the human is paralyzed.

Velasta picks up the longsword points at the gray haired human, "That is Randal Morn, Lord of Daggerdale, and this is the 'Sword of the Dales'."

 

[Serpenteye]

Nodding his assent,Kripp asks the Drow Matron 'Endeavors what, Drow upon where help, Kripp could provide,Matron?Kripp now, ready..'

She keeps her voice at a near-whisper. "Our path has not yet been decided. We might need your help here to defend us from our 'friends', but we will almost certainly need your help on the way to Maerimidrya. The Balor Kurgoth and the followers of Kiaransalee wage war for the control of the city. We will interfere, and shape the events in our favour. We will bathe in blood before we are done, and face foes both powerful, cunning and rich.
For now I ask you to come with us to Szith Morcane. Keep your priestly powers hidden, lest the mistress of the city takes offense. Let them think you are merely muscle, make them underestimate your power and wisdom and be ready to strike them down. They may yet become our enemies."

And so may you...

 

[Xael]

"That is Randal Morn, Lord of Daggerdale, and this is the 'Sword of the Dales'."

Quertus calmly lowers his crossbow and sets it to it's place in his belt. He eyes the man quickly. "Do we tie him up?", he ask Velasta. "And if you don't mind, I could hold to that sword..."

Quertus also checks if there's anything (spellbook!) left from the half-elf.

 

[Pyrex]

Carcelon Millithor, Second Daughter, Clr 11

After ascending into the temple, Carcelon uses her pearl to refresh the Dispel Magic.

As Kilcif searches the outer fane for traps, Carcelon studies the altar for a minute or so.

OOC: Is the 'negative radiation' consistent with the effects of an 'Unhallow' or is it something more? Also, does the altar appear to still be consecrated to Lolth or has it been 'repurposed'?
