After working several weeks for House Kingstinn in Skullport, the group is given the head (dead?) position to investigate a problem near a village that grows and produces a potent narcotic called Meroin. The reason for the bump in rank is that three other groups sent to investigate this problem have not returned and Boss Knuckle was getting some heat from his superiors.
In and out during these weeks comes the drow scout and adventurer Etchzeeth. He updates the group with activities of the slave lords and also has been running intel on the group of drow thugs we ran into a few weeks back. Self titled "Stillborn", these Drow are the harbingers of greater Drow activity anywhere from mass assassinations to outright invasions. No matter what, that they are in Skullport is a fell sign for this city and perhaps even Waterdeep.
The group leaves Skullport and is transported to a small village where these strange happenings are taking place. They find an abandoned tower and investigate its lower underground levels. Right away those with significant experience with aranca know something is amiss, as if there were a slight merging or inrusion with another plane of existence here.
After several fights they have a fairly peaceful encounter with a white dragon and then find a teleportation portal to a lower level. Here they fight some gricks and then find a real planar portal being sustained by some foulspawn! After the combat the portal starts to disappear and they make their way back to the top. Boss Knuckle is going to be proud of them!
