I have run a few games up till now, usually sharing an every other week routine with our other DM. This story sets the characters in the Drow city of Ched Nasad quite early in the War of the Spiderqueen time period. The characters in this game are oddly enough good aligned drow. The game has started with the characters being 13th level and they are: Tazzenkaf Auvryndar (Alienist), Zasormun D’dgttu (Rogue), Calendiral Claddath (Monk), Ist’dril Rilynt’tar (Fighter), and a character that I am currently playing Nanru Nasadra (Sorcerer). I have set up a character gallery that the players will be posting their characters too, so specific information about the characters should be located there.========================================================Deep in the depths of the Underdark, far under even the city of Ched Nasad, exists a large meeting hall. At each corner of the room stands an arched portal. There is nothing particularly interesting about this room except for perhaps the strong wards against scrying and a host of other magical protections. Seated in a large floating chair sits a cloaked mage idly looking through a scrying mirror. This mage is covered from head to foot in a deep black cloak that does not seem to have any distinguishing features. All that can be seen is a slender ebony colored hand absently tracing the various arcane designs that seem to have been burned into the black material of the chair. The mage stares through the scrying mirror and frowns slightly at the various figures that can be seen moving within the mirror. On one corner of the room is a large portal of some kind that looks to be constructed out of some sort of black metal. For one moment the portal seems to be empty, but then a soft hissing sound can be heard throughout the room as a mist slowly rises into the shape of a door. A large black form steps through that is shrouded with so much darkness that it seems like a black rolling cloud with glowing eyes has entered the room. The mage does not make a move but continues to idly look through the mirror. At this time from another corner of the room a portal springs to life with a dark intensity. From out of the portal steps the large shape of an insect like creature. It looks around clicking its mandibles before saying in a rough low undercommon, “I have arrived as agreed, does all proceed smoothly?”The mage slowly turns his head to look at the Insect creature. In eloquent undercommon he says, “All proceeds as smoothly as possible, though She seems to have foreseen part of our plan and enlisted the aid of a few noble drow. The large dark figure laughs harshly, “She is more desperate then I thought. A few drow nobles should be easy to deal with. In fact why destroy them at all, I am sure a bit a fun can be had before their death.” To that all of the occupants of the room laughed wickedly. It was the mage the spoke first, “I will give all of them something to think about.” With that the mage stepped into one of the many portals and disappeared.  The insect creature followed shortly afterwards until only the dark figure was left. The dark figure starts chanting in a arcane tongue and before it rises the huge shadow of a creature. Why have you summoned me here!? The dark figure bows and states, “It has begun master”======================================================</blockquote>
