Update -Help Arrives
Staying at the Hobbled Horse in Arras, the party is approached by an altar boy, who tells them to meet his master at the Church of St Kheoghtom the next morning.
The boys master, turns out to be the Archbishop of Cuthbert, Fergus, who tells the party that he has discovered where the kobold Cref hides. He describes a secret entrance in an unused aquaduct. He then leaves to rejoin the battle at Antioch.
The party enters the secret door and confronts Cref, an Elf, and a summoned devil. They defeat the devil and capture the elf, but Cref teleports away.
The party interrogates the elf, using Randalls herbology skills, and discovers the location of a caravan route along the northern border of the Bright Desert, used by the elven slavers. They also learn the name of the dark elven city, Erehlei-Cinlu, and that it exists in the cavern of the acid falls. There is a front door to the cavern, but the party suspects another entrance used by the black dragons through the acid falls.
The interrogation is interrupted by a panic in the streets and a booming voice outside the inn asking to see Callitheus. Metallic Dragons, (Sent by Marius) have arrived to help.
