Suddenly out of mid air, next to the other drow a lightning bolt shoots forth and hits Chandos, his magic sword which eminates spell resistance, fends off the strike.  Geez, how many are there invisible. thinks Chandos.  He runs for the left hand corridor.  Standing at the end of the corridor is a female drow cleric.  Flanked by two Quth Maron, she looks strangly familiar; Chandos gets a sense of deja vu.“I am Velasta T’sarran, you killed my sister Velina T’sarran. I always knew I was more powerful than her, but enough of my worthless sister, now I shall destroy you.  Attack my prettys!”Chandos charges at the cleric.  She casts a dominate person at him but he shrugs off the effects, and breathes a sigh of relief.  Avering his eyes Chandos swings at one of the Quth Maron and hurts it bad.  Suddenly from behind him a lightning bolt arcs toward him, yet again his trusty weapon saves him from the spells effects.  But still he see’s noone there.  “I HATE INVIS” screams Chandos.  Velasta steps forward, Chandos can see she is engulfed in tiny flickering flames, she attempts to cast Slay Living on Chandos, but yet again his spell resistance is good.  Again from behind Chandos is hit by acid arrows.  This time a drow wizard has appeared, by the arch, down the corridor behind him.  Chandos growls and spins back to face the quth maron who he hurt last time, taking another huge swing he fells the undead beast.  He then does another almighty swipe against the other quth.  Velastra touches the quth, healing it of its wounds.  As chandos swings at the quth again he feels his mind being tampered with, he withstands the Suggestion.  Looking behind him he sees at the end of the corridor the wizard has cast a ball of fire, and it hovers infront of him.  He turns back strikes at Velastra and hits her, but the flames covering her hurt the warrior.  Chandos senses foes behind him and swings into mid air.  He hears a cry of pain as the invisible drow wizard falls to the floor.  Again from behind him he see’s magic missiles hurtle toward him from out of thin air. They are absorbed by his magical broach of shielding “ok, I got 1 wizard invisible behind me, another, visible at corridor entrance guarded by a ball of flame, and Velastra, who, if I hit much more will kill me.. thinks Chandos as he turns from Valastra and swings into the space from where the magic missiles had eminated.  Again he hears a scream as another invisible wizard is felled.  The wizard at the end of the corridor points a finger at Chandos, but Chandos manages to shrug off the effects of the hold person.  Chandos takes another swing at Valastra and hurts her, but he too is hurt by the flames. “I can’t take much more of this” thinks ChandosAt the end of the corridor Chandos spies the Drow wizard run off.  The ball of flame winks out.  Seeing his chance Chandos runs up the corridor and into a room.Judas, Brownstone and Thein continue to climb up the massive web “just gotta get back to Dagger Falls” they all think.  “Its of upmost importance”  They pay no attention to the Drow wizard who flys past them.Two sets of manacles hang from the wall in this bare room.  One set is empty, the other holds a female drow.  She sits slumped on the ground, her arms twisted awkwardly above her head.  Chandos doesn’t know and dosent care if she is dead or alive.  His eyes dart around the room.  Two exits and a door.  He runs to the right exit.Three wooden coffins lie in state on the floor of this room.  Behind them stands a row of counters and cupboards that has obviously been well ransacked.  Chandos runs in and croutches behind one of the coffins.  As he opens his backpack and retrieves a healing potion he can hear movement outside the room.Judas, Brownstone and Thein continue their advance up the web, Brownstone leading the pack “Dagger Falls, Dagger Falls, Dagger Falls!!”.  They pay no attention to the two drow wizards who fly down past them.Chandos peers from behind the coffin.  He can see Velastra at the rooms entrance, shes looking about and talking in drow to someone else.  Suddenly she turns around and catches sight of Chandos“nin dos ph'usst”     Spits Velastra as a blast of light eminates from her hands toward Chandos.  Chandos ducks as the coffin he is hiding behind is destroyed.  He gets up in time to see the remaing Quth Maron rush toward him, talons beared.  It misses the warrior.  Velastra also runs in to attack Chandos.  Chandos swings his trusty sword and slays the last Quth.  Velastra attempts a harm touch on Chandos, but once again he resists.  And notices, she is not covered in flames anymore.  Chandos smiles.“uk zhah wun ghil ussta senger” hears Chandos, he turns to the entrance of the room and sees the drow wizard who had run off before.  He seems to be beckoning someoneChandos makes a silent prayer to Orcus before he swings his weapon again at Velastra.  It strikes true and she falls to the floor.  Chandos, badly wounded, runs for the wizard at the door.  Out of know where  Twin Lightning Bolts smash into Chandos.  His prayer must have worked, he was undamaged (hero point used).  Chandos smiles once more before he is hit by a thin green ray.  Chandos is turned to a fine dust instantly.“byrren orn doer” says Solom “udos z'klaen tlu kr’athin”Judas, Brownstone and Thein arrive back in Dagger Falls in time for supper.  They seat themselves in the Inn and order food.  Suddenly Judas looks up “what are we doing here” Brownstone and Thein look at each other and then at Judas.  “Chandos!”</blockquote>
