In reply to Panian (msg # 18):

After receiving a response, I begin to search around for anything I could use to try to manipulate the locks. Bits of metal, for example.

I try to not draw attention to myself.


I'll roll for stealth, to try to be inconspicuous

In reply to Panian (msg # 21):

What did she say?

In reply to Theodoric (msg # 22):

Panian whispers to Theo: "No response yet."



 When the DM gets it I'll let you know.

Panian rolled a 19 for stealth.

In reply to Panian (msg # 18):

The dwarf says she is a scout from Gauntlgrym which is a dwarf establishment to the west of where you are. Talking to her you can tell she hates the drow and all of the other "corrupt dark dwellers". She really wants to get back to Gauntlgrym...she has been in the slave pen/captive for 6 days now.

Her name is Eldeth Feldrun

You get confused looks which make you think that the answer is "no"

In reply to Loranys (msg # 20):

In an urbane type of Elvish the creature says to you..."What do you want?"

In reply to Panian (msg # 21):

You find nothing of use in the slave pen around you. Although it appears that some of the prisoners recognized that you were looking for stuff and you can see some of them shift positions as if they are trying to hide some things that they might have.

In reply to DMJW (msg # 24):

Panian, could you ask Eldeth to tell us more about the "dark dwellers" and anything else she knows about the other captives... does she know anything about the fish-headed fellow or the walking mushroom?

Also, one of our elves should speak to the captive drow. Why would they imprison one of their own with this motley crew?

In reply to DMJW (msg # 26):

Loranys smiles a little and shrugs. "Why are you in here? You look pretty intimidating."

In reply to Loranys (msg # 29):

He looks at you and replies "This isn't how I really look. I am not a quaggoth. I am actually a gold elf prince. I was cursed and transformed into this shape. I am Prince Derendil of Nelrindennvane in the High Forest. Perhaps you have heard of me? My crown was taken by an evil wizard named Terrestor. He trapped me in this form and exiled me from my people. During my exile I got set upon by a group of drows and brought here. I've been here almost a week and I want to go home."

In reply to DMJW (msg # 30):

Loranys replies, "Well. That makes two of us. Where are we, exactly?" .She walks toward him.

In reply to Theodoric (msg # 28):

Panian asks the Dwarf Theodoric's questions.

In reply to Panian (msg # 32):

Krysnys asks the gnomes all of Theo's questions in gnomish.

To Loranys, mentally, DUDE, take it easy. Keep your distance.

In reply to Krysnys (msg # 33):

Theodoric approaches the mushroom guy. "Can you speak?"

In reply to Loranys (msg # 31):

We are in the Underdark which is a realm of endless labyrinthine tunnels and caverns where the sun never shines. I need to be back with my people. In the sun....

In reply to DMJW (msg # 35):

Loranys asks him what above-ground town are we near?

In reply to Panian (msg # 32):

The dwarf replies: "The derro over there and other underground things such as the duergar. We dwarves reclaimed our ancient dwarf kingdom, in spite of having to fight these corrupt dark dwellers. We have pushed back the darkness and allowed the light of our kingdom to shine through."

The mushroom like thing calls itself Stool. He can communicate but you have to have spores to get the telepathic link to him. I am not taking in spores.

The kuo-toa dude is weird. He is an aquatic hermit and keeps to himself. I have never seen him fight or do anything aggressive. He claims to have spent a lifetime in contemplation and solitary meditation to overcome his people's legacy of madness. He is a pacifist and won't do anything bad to anyone. Totally worthless is that one!

In reply to Loranys (msg # 36):

I am not sure. It depends on where we are down here. The Underdark runs under that entire realm on the surface. We could be under any of the towns up there!

In reply to Krysnys (msg # 33):

The gnomes are not real interested in talking. You hear the male one mumbling darkly under his breath and the female one repeating or translating what the male one says. You definitely can tell that they are brother and sister. They seem fearful of you and your group and ask you to leave them alone. They will look out for themselves.

In reply to Theodoric (msg # 34):

The little guy seems very excited when you approach him. He shakes a little bit and spores come off of his body. He motions to them...or at least you think that is what he is doing....

In reply to DMJW (msg # 38):

Loranys tells him they have NO IDEA where they are or how to get back to their farm.  She studies his face for a minute and gets closer. She asks about the curse,
How it came about, how it can be undone.

In reply to Loranys (msg # 41):

Krysnys is fiercely telling you, mentally, to KEEP. YOUR. DISTANCE.

In reply to DMJW (msg # 40):

Theodoric puts some spores on his hand and looks closely at them. To the group: "I think he wants me to inhale these." Theodoric prepares in inhale.

In reply to Loranys (msg # 41):

The evil wizard Terrestor cursed me. I am not sure how it can be undone. He is pretty powerful. I will find a way though. I need to get back to my people. My kingdom needs me.

In reply to Theodoric (msg # 43):

Stool is bouncing up and down when you look like you are going to inhale the spores. He is very excited!
