The Underdark Primeval [IC]

"True", Rune replies, "but my sense of adventure is often overpowered by my sense of not being eaten..." She smiles wryly.
 

Morph casts a restoration on Denasa and Rune, provided no one else needs him to alter his spell selection. "This should help you feel stronger." he says to each of them.
 

"Thank you sweetling," Denasa says to Morph before turning back to Rune. "Now, but from my point of view, we haven't been eaten yet, and if you're too cautious, all the fun things in life will pass you by! No one ever found anything new from always taking the same path, hmm?" Denasa says with a bright and bubbly laugh.
 

Rune also thanks Morph and then simply shakes her head at the laughing Denasa. "There are things in this world that are better left unseen and undisturbed, Denasa...I should know...", her words trail off as a forlorn look falls over her features like a shroud.

"We should rest the night. Recover our strength, replenish spells and the like," Dargo said. "Our goal is to clear your names, people, my name and reputation are riding on our success. It sounds like the underdark primeval is our ultimate goal, however."
 

After Morph's healing magic, combined with a couple days to rest, the group is fully refreshed and ready to move on.

Rosvan reports that there has been much activity in the tunnel, with tracks of many humanoids leading towards the Stronghammer crypt. The tracks include a few large constructs, possibly more maugs. There are also two new drow sentries to replace the ones that were killed.

As far as he can tell, no one has been searching for the group. Rosvan guesses that they assume Clan Stronghammer dwarves killed the maugs, drow and roper, then retreated back to their lands.

All the refugees come out to bid the group luck as you prepare to depart. The little girl presses some mushrooms and some colorful trinkets into each of your hands, 'for luck', she says. Prince Marulas thanks you once more for your efforts as you leave.

Eventually the tunnel ends in a pool, lit by phosphorescent fungi. It looks like there are a couple feet of space above the water, so travelling through it shouldn't be so hard. After all, the svirfneblin refugees made it. Of course, they made their journey before the illithid's minions came... they could have left some surprises here for the unwary...
 

"Hmm. that looks a might difficult for Bull to follow. I think I'll have a look down there to see how easy it would be for us to get by." Morph says before diving into the water breathing in the liquid with ease.
