Session 32

Setting: Aboard the Silverwing

Elene, Durzo's mother and head of the White Ravens requests an audience with the Order of Valor. She thanks them for their efforts in keeping the world safe. She tells them of a Drow operative tasked with infiltrating Eryndlyn to report on rumors a Matron Mother of the city was using a necromancy stone to raise the dead. He was to report back in 2 months, but never did. It's now been 4 months. She tasked Durzo with bringing him back. As a thank you, she provides gear to the team that should prove useful in the Underdark.

Savage leads the team past the area of Kald to a crevice in the mountain leading down. After bidding farewell, he leaves them for another pressing mission from Elene. The team enter the crevice and descend down into the dark.

Setting: Underdark Passages

The team follows along a narrow path that curves and declines lower underground. They nearly fall into sand pits, roll down steep drops, and collect samples of green glowing fungi. Where the path splits into three different ways, they are assaulted by an army of skeletons and flowing Jelly that splits itself if physically attacked. Key Eldritch Blasts from Durzo turns the tide. Steam uses his Ring of Ram to knock Skeletons back and collapse the passage.

They flee into a wide cavern lined with more glowing fungi and purple crystals. They debate on using magic to traverse a dangerous bridge overlooking a lake of acid. Ultimately, they decide against using precious spells, and cross the bridge one at a time. Dodging bursts from acid geysers, they make it to the other side of the cavern relatively unharmed.

Faced with a choice between one path covered in puddles of blood, and another, they choose the bloodless path, and continue deeper into the Underdark.
