You drag the bodies of the Drow together and rifle through them. There are a few coins held in pouches, which catch your eyes first. Totalling 22pp and 35gp all together. The equipment they carry is as follows:
Gear
------
- Rapier +1 (mage)
- Wand of Lightning bolt (6d6 dmg) (24/50 charges remaining)
- Potion of cure serious wounds
- Potion of haste
- Scroll containing Mage armour, spider climb and ray of enfeeblment (8th level caster)
- 500gp worth of diamond dust
- 15 doses of sleep poison
- 3 x +2 Longswords
- 2 x +1 shocking spiked chains
- 2 x +1 Mithril chainshirts
- 3 x +1 Mithril Breastplates
- 3 x +1 Heavy steel shields
- 4 x mw light x-bows
- ~100 bolts
- 7 x potion of cure light wounds
- 5 potions of jump
- 4 potions of spider climb
- 5 x mw daggers
The five Drow sentries wear a livery of white tabards emblazoned with a black, leering skull [Lusione bardic knolwedge check vs DC 25; pass]. Lusione rememvers a tale told to her a few years back by a minstrel who supposedly accompanied a war party into the Underdark. The protagonist the war party were after was a Drow Cleric by the name of Irae T'Sarran, a powerful follower of the diety Kiaransalee. This was her crest, a leering black skull on a white background. The mage wears a simple purple tunic.
Coppertop, while the others loot the bodies of the fallen, you study the unknown creature. Upon closer inspection, it or was female. Its slight body and lithe muscles suggest it was created from an Elf. Upon hearing Lusione mention Kiaransalee, you wrack your brains.
[dice=20] + 12 = 24
Kiaransalee was once a Drow sorcerer of imense power who ascended the pits of hell and became a god. She represents the Drow portfolios of Death, Undead and Retribution. It is not uncommon for her servants to create undead minions from those captured and slain in Kiaransalee's name.
Turning your attention once more to the chasm, it is obvious that the Drow come and go by some means. Not all of them can fly, so they must climb. [rand=599323164058255977346616451888147217730023485842055661623632912494]

All that and only two items??? Mal takes the wand in his hands, carefully examining it. He then places it on his belt, ready to be used i nthe future...
OOC - Mal doesn't have this spell on his list, but I think he should be able to use the wand... Will have to look up rules on it to clarify the DC to use it...
Mal will take:
Scroll containing Mage armour, spider climb and ray of enfeeblment (8th level caster)
Wand of Lightning bolt (6d6 dmg) (24/50 charges remaining) (Unless someone else can use it)
500gp worth of diamond dust (to be transferred into material components for Defenstrating Sphere)
1 mw light x-bow (only weapon on list he can use...)
25 bolts of the 100
1 potion of Jump
1 potion of Spider Climb
2 MW Daggers
1 potion Cure Light Wounds
Any objections? If so, then go ahead and take what you need.

(He's a sorcerer. He has access to anything on the wizard/sorcerer spell list. On top of that, he's already heard the wand's command word and he knows exactly what it does, so he should be set.)
---------------------------------
Lusione helps herself to one of the longswords and a few of the potions (CLW, Jump, and Spider climb)
She'll pick up all of the leftover potions that no one claims immediately as well.
She is ready to move out, drinking a spider climb potion if climbing is necessary

OOC - Only thing is, I don't have ANY ranks in Use Magic Device... which is a Trained Only skill... I think I am screwed...

You don't need use magic device. Lightening Bolt is one of the spells which the sorcerer class has access to, so they can use any scroll, wand, etc of that spell.
Now if it were say a wand of Cure light wounds or Silence, two spells which aren't on the sorcerer spell list, then you would need the ranks in UMD to use the wand, since sorcerers don't have access to those spells on their lists.

[If there's no objections, Abs would go for a +2 longsword and potions of haste, CLW, spider climb(?), and jump. If 2 of us can descend without potions of spider climb, he'll use one. If not he'll strap on the climber kit and take 10 at +13 if that's feasible.]

Are we still playing this? I've been waiting for Japic and Lin to post so we can continue with the update. Spiral will be back next month and back into things so we could wait until then to pick it up? I also figured maybe Lin was burned out with a few characters. I know he stopped posting in TGAC.

Sorry that I didn't post; on occassion I don't notice or have anything useful to add. Please feel free to continue wthout me unless it's a very vital situation.
I say pack up all the spare goodies and move on. Most folks are in pretty good health and we've got more exploring to do.

I don't think Ewan has anything useful to add here either.
He'll take what's left of the CLW potions and call it a day.
If Lin's not playing him anymore I can take him over and scrap Lusione. Not worth losing the group's fighter type bear.

Thats cool if your ok with that. Lusione will just fade out into the shadows to rejoin Akatas in the ether. We just need to give Japic a kick in the butt now  |

OK guys, we are now ready for action. Post here for any game activities. The party stands so far at:
Coppertop
Abs
Jonathan
Vurd
TTC was going to bring his character in at some point. PM me with the details or post it up here if you are introducing yourself now.
Sans, what do you want to do? How would you like to be introduced or do you just want to sub in for one of the others?

Also, as it stands, we are at the required party level and requisite number of players so i will have to re-ajust the stats back to normal for the opposition |

You hear a reedy, somewhat grating voice, seemingly coming out of thin air right in the middle of the party.
"...Think I got it working, sir. Look at it, it's flashing green- the other one did that before it turned on."
A very young, feminine voice sounds next, sounding somewhat worried.
"What? You weren't supposed to be touching that. Let me take a look at...
...!
Uncle Starsmoore! It's one way! Get it to turn off get it to turn off--"
There is some confusion at this point, involving loud noises, everyone getting very wet and people stumbling into other people while looking very different.
It eventually emerges that the extremely bright red fluid covering everyone and everything is in fact the mortal remains of Ewan, Tender, Lusione, and Maldoorill, and standing in the center of that explosion of gore is a group of five rather bedraggled-looking people that none of you have ever seen before. The oldest of them, who looks like a distinguished-looking peasent, surveys the devastation.
"Oh."
A guilty-looking frown spreads across his face.
"Well."
He surveys the remaining members of the group, noting their heavy armament and general aura of capability.
"I rather hope that wasn't anyone you liked."

Absalom had not been attached to the four. He was becoming accustomed to the slaughter of companions. He would welcome the newcomer as the others had welcomed him, no wait a minute, better than they welcomed him. The others had started by stealing his stuff. Abs begins his looting at the body of the bard...

In a moment of coincidence to rival those in the comedies of the epic human bard, Dougles Adams, a dusty dwarf materializes high up near the ceiling and comes crashing down upon the pile of dead drow.
Quickly getting to his feet, his voice rumbles like granite, "Defend the outpost! Defend the.... Where in the Deep Reaches am I? This better not be one of your jokes, Pinecone. Uh... Pinecone? Who are you all?"

The fourth of the teleporting group speaks, his speech tinged with a medium-thick, mildly guttaral accent.
"Damn. He must've gotten caught in the backblast."
The tallest of them strides over to the dwarf, looking him up and down and prodding him in a few places with his staff.
"How are you? No major organs missing, I hope? Those damned portals can get unreliable with age. You're lucky you didn't end up waist deep in the floor."
