Year of the Warrior Princess
Marpenoth 26 - 27
The sundered party is made whole at last, thanks to the Justicar. Finally tracked to a Drow camp the free members of the group: Diovanni, Leif, Jax and Brolgar assault the dark elves after the Justicar draws off most of them in a fake ambush. The fight the remainder of the guards, and then quickly leave. Most odd is that these Drow are not the elves that first captured Riddick, Hannibal, and Brother Krux. Those elves are dead by these same Drow that were holding the group captive. The party found a strange cypher, taken from the first set of Drow that might hold some answers, but there is no time now to try and crack it.
The three members that were captured find themselves cramped, starved, and fairly well beaten after 9 days in a slave pen, it looks like the toll of that experience has affected all of them, with Brother Krux being the worse off. After freeing themselves, the group is on the run for a few hours before they rendezvous with the Justicar. He gives them directions to an old ruined Dwarven holy city, over run by the Drow many centuries ago. They are to make for that while he throws off the pursuit. According to him there are hundreds if not thousands of Drow after them, but why?
After getting caught in an ambush, which almost cost the lives of Jax and Krux, they party finally finds the entrance to the holy area, in looking around they spot a false wall that has been revealed by a recent earthquake, one that has not been accessed for many, many years. Upon by passing the wall and dropping down to a smaller room, they are amazed by mounds of treasure! Before they can take it all in a large monster stirs at the far wall and approaches: An undead dragon guardian!
