by Quest (Jason M)TL;DR: Killed mind-flayer, intellect devourer, drow warrior; rescused Kathra; drow mage escaped. More drow and ilithid in city below; basilisks around. See Amaranth's Recap | See Kathra's Recap
As told to Remith... I went down there with the intention of rescuing my friends; too bad I was ineffectual in battle. Hopefully my account of the events will be of some use to you. We reunited with the group deep below, where they had recovered from their initial fight. They all sported glowing weapons, so clearly some things had gone right. What went bad was Kathra being dragged away by a mind flayer. !!! Yes, I know. Just… let me finish. We headed deeper to find our missing friend. There were three tunnels that became one leading to an underground chamber with duergar statues. Not carved, frozen in stone. Basilisks, someone said. We continued deeper to a room bisected by a raging river. A brittle bridge spanned the rapids. I never even made it across… I digress. There were three figures, four if you count poor Kathra, two drow and an ilithid; they’re working together. One a warrior with runic armor and another a sorcerer who disappeared almost immediately. More on him later. The ilithid stood at the far end of the cavern in front of Kathra who was chained to the wall.

3/13/2018 0 Comments Golden Apple Returned - Far reachby (Steve b.)TL;DR – The Golden Apple Returned, Kathra Kidnapped. Kathra rescued. Drow/Ilithid City found.
The others retrieved the Golden Apple from the Scarlet Abbey and the ghost of Queen Fesnora while I checkout out my new char. I spent maybe a little too long in it, Quest took a letter to Queen Fesnoras grave and burned it, and it seems I missed something else. The chair though, is quite comfortable. Finally, when I roused myself out of the chair, I found my sword belt fit a little tigher. I’m going to have to limit time in the chair… We were to return the Golden Apple to Delabotta, the dryad. While preparing, we were introduced to a couple of new comers from Sanctus, Talafor a Tiefling magic user of somekind and Norman, a gnome I think. Somehow these two newcomers discovered that the huge fountain in Cavaliers Watch is enchanted with the water having magical benefits. As we were being introduced to the newcomers, we were caught by a man named Negleis, a curator at the library here in Cavalier’s Watch. He says a book has been stolen, with the thief moving to the rooftops and running away. Having climbed the roof Negleis claims to have seen the thief upon, I could find no trace of movement or activity. Negleis does state he thought the book was taken to a specific house, which I will investigate soon. Off we went to the Dryad Delabotta. She wasn’t happy to see us, or to hear about the death of queens Fesnora, she’d hopped to torture the lady. Delabotta seems unhinged, in a bad bad way. But she let us access the alter as she said, and down we went. The steps lead into a pretty typical tomb area, with a large table and a drape of fabric over the top. Fortune favors the bold, and I stepped up and pulled off the drape, revealing a number of weapons, a battle axe, a longsword, a staff and a Warhammer. After a quick prayer, Kathra lifts the Warhammer, which begins to glow softly. I retrieve the longsword, Dildon grabbed the staff, I’m not sure who grabbed the battle axe. There were two armed reliefs on the wall with weapons pointed toward the table, but after Kathra’s prayer, they stood down. I feel like Kathra keeps us out of some trouble with her holy ways. by Michael D.It’s been two days since the party had returned from the goliath’s tomb. Some of them had been missing for four days and presumed dead. One of that party, Kathra Holderhek, sits before you. A half eaten meal in front of her, seemingly forgotten, and an untouched beer at her elbow. She sits staring off into the distance. A moment passes and she notices you.
“Oh, sorry. Didn’t see you there. You want to know what happened? It was horrible. We had found Queen Fesnora’s golden apple and decided to set off to return it to Delabotta. The dryad had promised to leave and remove the blight that plagued this land were we to return the apple to her. It seemed so simple. Oh, how stupid we were. I remember that day, though it seems so long ago. It was the beginning of the celebration of Dragon Heart. All the children were dancing around Dilondorg, I had never actually seen him smile before that. We were all pretty happy. I had gotten pretty drunk the night before and cast a spell to light Madash’s head on fire. That gave him a big grin. That smile wouldn’t last long. None of our cheer did… Where was I? Oh yes, the dryad. Lying tree lady. We gave her that accursed apple and what does she do? Plants it into the ground and tells us we need to cleanse the tomb or she wouldn’t leave. That was not part of the deal! We should have known better. We gave her a copy of Queen Fesnora’s letter and what does she do with it? Tosses it in the air and has one of her foul trees cast a fireball at it! Burnt it right to a crisp. Didn’t even read it! How are we supposed to bargain with someone like that? I thought that being one with nature, she would be filled with Chauntea’s grace, but none of us were that day. Lacking any option, we inserted the ornate dagger into the tomb’s lid, and down we descended. |
