Each PC gets 395 xp.17th Maius (contd)While Krivinn sets to work bashing down the secret panel, Sharden looks through the archway to the right. Below, he can see two gnolls loading chests and coffers into a rowboat holding a hooded eladrin. The villains spot the dwarf and battle is joined. El’em tries to leap down in amongst them but screws up and falls off the wooden ledge, landing at the feet of the gnolls. Gong enters the room, only to be shot at by a drow elf who had been skulking in the chamber beyond. Sharden’s prayer sends the eladrin mage into the river and he’s promptly swept away by the current. One gnoll is killed; the other is shoved into the water by El’em’s thunderwave and also disappears downstream. The drow, Drazen, is knocked unconscious and the PCs tie him up. The room he appeared from is dominated by a creepy-looking statue of the Rat God Nirumath; its eyes are rubies and it’s surrounded by treasure but there is something about it that gives the PCs pause (even El’em). Instead, the genasi opens a couple of the treasure chests, triggering an arrow trap, then sets off the caustic spear trap in the secret room and gets impaled.After El’em has been rescued, the PCs interrogate Drazen, learning that he works for Orloch Scragmane but little else. Krivinn opens the door in the statue room, only to run into a skeleton which gives off a burst of bone shards when bloodied and explodes when it’s killed. Meanwhile, El’em tries to roll the trussed-up drow into the Rat God statue. Drazen takes umbrage, slips his bonds and makes a run for the boats. Sharden takes him down as he escapes with thunder of judgement.With everyone somewhat the worse for wear, the PCs return through the Hidden Quarter tunnels to the surface and then on to the Temple of Niu Dahan, taking Wang Jin We, Lady Patricia and her handmaidens, and the little girl Bhuvi with them. (Barius and Theus are locked in the slave cages). Wang Jin We tells the PCs that a man named Sreedhar who had been looking to hire adventurers was among the slaves taken to the slave market. He urges them to rescue all the captives. The PCs get the rest of the chests and coffers open and then rest.Evening Return to the dungeons beneath the slum tenement and head downstream in the rowboats. Krivinn pilots the first one with Sharden and El’em as passengers; Gong and Brave Ella are in the second. Despite a few hairy moments when the PCs at the helm struggle to control the boats in the current, the party are able to guide their vessels through the network of underground tunnels. An attack by half a dozen stirges is successfully repelled and the two “captains” even manage to keep the rowboats upright as they fly over a waterfall and into a large underground cavern. At the far side are some wooden docks; on the water is another boat with two gnolls….</blockquote>
