Endur
First Post
Most of the duergar appear to have left somehow. Perhaps they were never really there, an illusion all along. (Quertus knows that most of the Duergar are now invisible.)
The Mind flayers blast the upper reaches of the Duergar stands, trying to avoid hitting any of the PCs and Grimlocks and Quaggoths.
Marckarius on his riding lizard and Carcelon's black unicorn teleport into the betting area.
Matron Ki'Willis unleashes four bolts of darkness on Sarduel and flies into the betting area.
Kilcif finishes off Sarduel with an arrow and climbs into the betting area.
Torellan jumps into the betting area box and kills an orc guard that wasn't stunned. The rest of the humanoids in the betting area are stunned.
Quertus unleashes black tentacles on the Duergar and the dwarves where the wall of fire was. Narcelia casts Darkness into that area.
Quertus, Narcelia, and Jena also fly into the betting area.
Carcelon struggles to free herself from the White Wolf, but is unable to get free.
Dariel, draws his bow quickly, strings it, and shoots an arrow into the White Wolf, all as one fluid motion. The arrow sinks deep and the Wolf utters a "yelp".
The Grimlocks consolidate their line inside the entrance to the cage, prepared to die if necessary to prevent Endur from leaving the cage.
The Quaggoths are fighting dwarves and duergar and black tentacles.
Goblinoids, Orcs, and humanoids of all types are running in every direction.
Laral is nowhere in sight.
The White Wolf flings Carcelon in the direction of the Grimlocks. She lands hard near the exit from the cage. She took another 19 points of damage.
The wolf advances and threatens Dariel, growling.
Endur and Django and the other dwarves and duergar you can see are mostly disoriented and still stunned.
The door beneath the Duergar luxury box opens. A Giant sized crossbow on wheels is sitting there. All of a sudden, it fires and the engineer becomes visible. A spear is fired across the arena, missing the cage bars, and hitting a Mindflayer on the opposite side of the arena. The spear goes right through the mindflayer, hitting a goblin on the other side of him, and skewering the goblin too. The mindflayer and the goblin were instantly killed. Invisible duergar are rapidly loading the siege weapon to fire again.The engineer is already aiming again.
Master Klaxeon sends over the mindlink to Matron Ki'Willis, We must leave now. We will meet you at the agreed upon place.
Master Klaxeon and the remaining Illithid grasp hands and fade away (plane shift).

Carcelon Messages dariel (should still be active),
"Dariel, take this potion and Fly over to Marck and Torellan. We're getting out of here."
OOC: the wolf is between Dariel and Carcelon, right? If so...
Once Dariel acknowledges Carcelon's Message,
"Here, catch!"
Carcelon then flies towards her mount, drawing her Rod as she goes.

Ki'Willis replies to Klaxeon's message, I thank you for your assistance and request one last favour. Please order your grimlocks to kill Endur and his Wolf.
She quickly scans the situation, if it doesn't look like the entire group is likely to be able to leave the arena by the end of the round she orders Quertus to Take care of the ballista. If his spell is insufficient she casts Insect Plague from a scroll on the giant crossbow and its crew, picks up Sarduel and throws his corpse on the back of Marcarius' mount. If his spell is sufficient to take the crossbow out of the battle she throws Sarduel's corpse across the back of Marcarius' mount and, if possible, takes the money in the cash register where she placed her bet of 30k.
If it looks like they could all get out of the arena by the end of the round, she orders Torellan, Kilcif, Marcarius and Jena to Pick up the chests., throws Sarduel's corpse onto the back of Marcarius' mount, instructs everyone to touch and, placing her hand on his shoulder, orders Quertus to Get us out of here.
ooc: sorry about the mess,

The Duergar Engineer smiles coldly.
The Mindflayers have fled. The grimlocks are dog food. And the drow are packed together perfectly. If I line this up just right, I think I can get five of them in one shot.
What's that? Two more of them are flying to the betting area from the cage. Perfect! I'll time my shot carefully.
Yes, that's it. I have the Matron, the Wizard, the Unicorn, and the tall bugbear all lined up together. That's four!
And the last male -- he looks like he is going to fly right where I want him!
Let me time his speed carefully, I want my spear to arrive just at the time he arrives.
NOW!
The Duergar fires the ballista and the spear hurtles toward the betting box.
Quertus is frantically casting the Shadow Walk spell and wishing that Dariel could fly faster, much faster!
Quertus finishes his incantation at the precise moment that Dariel reaches out and touches him. His eyes go wide as the the cavern grows darker. The spear vanishes in the darkness.
A preternatural chill gnaws at exposed skin, radiating from cold dust beneath your feet.
The cavern is a twisted mockery of the cavern you were in before. Nobody else is here but the members of the party and the two mounts. Sarduel's body and a chest lies upon one mount. A chest and some bags are on the other mount.
Quertus takes a step and he is suddenly fifty feet across the room at the exit from the shadowy cavern. One step here is the equivalent of fifty in the real world, he explains.
He leads the party back to the cavern they had rested in before coming to Mantol Derith. Quertus warns the party to beware of a darkness that moves. Shades, Night Walkers, and Shadow Dragons are known to hunt travalers across the shadow plane.
In an hour, the party has arrived back at the cavern they rested in previously. Holding hands again, they leave the Shadow plane. Quertus casts Leomund's Secure Shelter and creates a room to rest in and await the arrival of Lady Yyssiriryl, Krecil, Trygon, and the Mind Flayers.

The Matron Mother steps down from her drift disc and faces her family and allies.
She gets a sudden urge to laugh triumphantly, but supresses that impulse and instead she smiles, beaming with pride. You have all done very well. she says, adressing the group. You have fulfilled my expectations for you and thanks to your power and daring Quellar Millithor has come a long way towards the restoration of our rightful place. I am now more confident than ever that we will emerge from this divine test triumphant and stronger than ever. There is still a long road ahead of us, and many dangers await. We have made new enemies today, and though that is a small price to pay for our conquests we must now be more vigilant than ever. Our quest has only just begun, but what a magnificent beginning.
She reaches out to touch Carcelon with a Cure Serious Wounds and restores the spell to her memory with her Pearl of Power, she then hands Dariel the sword Yyssyriryl gave her and gives Narcelia and Quertus the responsibility of investigating and counting their new found treasure.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)
Kilcif looks what could only be described as a cruel smile as he looks at the pale dead human, “Sarduel, looks like you never got your wish of killing me but I appear to have mine wish of killing you.” His laugher at his own joke rains with loud malice upon the others in the temporary shelter… He tries to recall his many encounters with the smaller human trying to remember anything he was overly protective of or anything he flaunted. While turning to address the Matron of House Millithor he turns his mind to the matter at hand, “I believe now is a good time to pay me…”

Indeed Kilcif, now would be a good time to give you what you have earned. [/COLOR] she opens one of the chests and hands him a (couple of) bar (s) of platinum of a value of 10'000 gold pieces. You will have the rest of your pay as soon as we have counted and identified it.
The agreed upon share was ten percent, of all hard loot. She hands the Bugbear bars and coins with to a value of 43'000 gold pieces. She then takes the 30'000 in gems that she had placed as a bet in the arena, and gives Narcelia her 15'000 gps back.
