After a little bit of running in circles and the drow actually requesting an alliance, they were dealt with harshly.  The group decided they weren't crazy enough to go after the illithids at this time, as they were fairly sure that they didn't have Azoun.  Meanwhile, Vangerdhast and Alec -- backed by Calednai, who's basically turned into her former master's obedient little servant, took some knights and wizards to Cormanthor and had themselves some surface drow-slaughtering fun.  The group figured out that the drow that took Azoun were illusions, and they began going down a list of magic-users who might have taken Azoun.  They came up with a list of three who fit all the criteria, all former War Wizards of Cormyr -- one's now a Shade, one hangs with Halaster Blackcloak, and the last one is a Red Wizard.  The group's now braced for a clusterfrell like no other...I'll get around to adding all of this to the story hour eventually, but I started a new job and time is a rare commodity right now -- plus, whatever writing time I have, I've been working on a superhero novel I decided I wanted to do... it'll happen sooner or later, I just dunno when.  And hopefully, we should be playing again soon, so watch this space for notes about my next session -- we're jumping ahead a month since the gang wanted to do some research and whatnot, and Alec's going to be on the throne now... should be be fun...</blockquote>
