The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter IV

"If I remember correctly, there were a few passageways we didn't investigate." Andreas says reluctantly, clearly less than happy at the idea of returning to the water-filled tunnels.

"As for identifying the items, I'll take them to Mother Grundy. She seemed agreeable to the prospect of identifying anything we found when we spoke last, and I place more trust in her assessment than that of any other mage we might hire to do the same task."

Teleri smiled at Andreas, clearly empathising with the sorcerer's reluctance to go underground. "I'm none too fond of enclosed spaces myself Andreas, nor am I overly fond of the idea of going back into that underground mire. But..." she shrugged. "My own conscious overrides that fear and common sense,"
 

Yer own concience will force us all ta waste our time girl! Look, bein' cooped up down there with that naga gave me plenty o' time ta learn her ways. Her specialty was enchantment but she was also quite good at illusion. Many a time she would lure passerby down the well at night, using her illusions to draw them in, then herd them to where was best fer her ta strike. I would not doubt she played the same trick on you lot.
 

Probably true. Teleri conceded. The naga is gone, but there might be other threats down there. Or have you forgotten the eggs? If she has a mate, then that thing will likely be as dangerous to the town as her,

"If nothing else, we need to make sure that the sewers are ompletely 'clean'. She didn't make those eggs by herself you know." Teleri grinned at Drogo. "But that can wait until we do as you suggest, get some sleep, a meal and those magical items identified."

"Actually, while I claim to be no expert on the breeding habits of nagas, it could be theoretically possible for... nevermind..." Andreas trails off at his companion's expressions. "Yes... Anyway, if we're going to go back down that blasted well, let's get on with it..."

He hurries onwards towards the town.
 


"Let's check where we didn't go. If we want, we may even not need to double check the area we already made. Our group isn't a band of scout. Many are clumsy enough to let trace of their passage that can be easily seen for a week, so I suppose identify where we had gone if my memory is bad... which is not."

"Well, we spellcasters could probably use a night's rest. Let's spend the rest of this day trying to identify our magic items. Then return to the well in the morning."
 


Dunstand takes in the group’s discussion about returning back to the well.
Humm, I’m sure that we explored every part of the caves?

After leaving the naga, Dunstand breaks his silence.
“I’m all for going down the well, if you guys feel that there is more to discover. But, I kept a mental map of the place when we where down there, and I’m 99% sure that we didn’t miss any thing.”

“The eggs are save now, and we all could use some rest. Maybe we should get a bit to eat and than go see the old mayor and ask him some prudent questions about the well.”
