House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Uriel]

Kripp nods his assent to Matron Ki'Willis. He would join with these Drow for a time.

 

[Dalamar]

"With all due respect, I doubt the humans could slaughter us. We are in a relatively easily defendable position. We can easily hold our own, especially if the highly esteemed wizard is allowed to cast his spells with intention to kill."
Torellan over-emphathises the words 'highly esteemed' to make it clear that it isn't excactly what he is thinking right now.
"Besides, while I certainly aren't exhilarated by the possibility of being exposed to the sun, the vampires must be just dying of joy."

 

[Serpenteye]

"Mother, what do you make of the altar? Was this negative pulse created by you & Matron Morcane or is it more recent?"

"I would think that it's some sort of desecration, Dorina's equivalent of urinating on the altar. Her clergy makes very liberal use of negative energy, it's quite unlike anything I've seen in any sanctified temple of Lolth."

--
slightly later...

Ki'Willis slowly and carefully makes her way into the inner fane.

 

[Serpenteye]

Kripp nods his assent to Matron Ki'Willis. He would join with these Drow for a time.

"Excellent."

They head back towards the compound, Kripp bein allowed to borrow Ki'Willis' drift to cross the chasm while Ki'Willis levitates with her own innate power. Since she's unwilling to trust Kripp, a cleric of an alien God, to enter the Temple she leaves him guarding her door as she, Carcelon and Kilcif sneaks into the temple.

 

[Seonaid]

Narcelia is silent the rest of the trip, contemplating Zedar's words. Bringing back the dead to life? How . . . powerful.

When they return, she will demand that Zedar give her one of the women they captured, if he does not automatically offer.

 

[Pyrex]

Carcelon isn't entirely convinced, especially as it doesn't look like the altar has been defiled, but decides to leave it for later and follows the Matron into the inner fane.

 

[Endur]

Zedar and Narcelia load the two unconscious women upon the dire wolf and head back towards Szith Morcane.

Zedar offers Narcelia whichever of the two women she wants. One is a tall, pale thin blond-haired womn of relatively young age. The other is a middle-aged plump, darker complexioned woman with black hair.

 

[Endur]

Velasta smiles, "Ahh, Torellan, now I understand. You wish to prove your valor by slaughtering several thousand of the surface dwellers while the rest of us rest during the day in this old-fashioned inn.

"I am most impressed by your eagerness for the slaughter.

"However, it is too soon. The bodies would rot before the grave-rending.

"The time for slaughter will come in but two months. Even your thirst for blood will be fed then. Until then, we return to Szith Morcane.

"Dariel, carry Randal Morn outside. We will be taking him back with us. Leonon and Laranen are immensely strong, and they can each carry three drow and three human prisoners."


The snow is falling so thick that it obscures your sight of the rest of Dagger Falls. The whole town could just be this inn and the buildings next to it. Or the town could go on for miles.

Quertus found a spell component pouch, a dagger, and various artciles of female clothing amongst the distegrated remains of the wizard.

 

[Seonaid]

Narcelia looks at the two with a critical eye. "I want the younger one," she proclaims, motioning to the more exotic female. "But you shall have to carry her for me until we get back to town."

 

[Dalamar]

Torellan smiles as a reply to Velasta.
You think that, I was just hoping for a chance to have the sun accidentally scorch the vampires.

Torellan graps by the leg two of the humans he knocked out and starts dragging them out, not really caring if they hit their head in something in the process.
