<t>G'eldfryn followed along gamely, trying to hide his embarrassment. Not even a quarter of the way to Skullport...<br/> <br/> * * *<br/> <br/> "Is he goign where I think he's going?" Maydiira silently asked her brother.<br/> <br/> He nodded.<br/> <br/> "Bloody idiot..."<br/> <br/> * * *<br/> <br/> ...

Adian followed suit immediately, relying on his armor and his divine gifts for protection.

<t>Shirida stared at the boys. Usually only her brothers engaged in that kind of banter. <br/> <br/> "Well," Shirida said. "Looks like your charges don't care much for you...and what's this?" She looked at the amulet clamped around the drow woman's neck. "Ahhhh...you've met Veraka, haven't you? I th...

<t>Adian set off with his mount in another direction, simply running down the smaller goblins and swinging his sword at the larger creatures as he passed them. The weapon was quite large, four feet long or possibly a bit more, and was only a foot shorter than its weilder. Yet he swung it about like ...

<t>The two boys and the scout didn't even see Shirida until she was on them. She slipped out of the shadows so quietly that their guide didn't even notice the knife at her throat until it was well past too late. The drow woman froze as the slightly smaller girl clucked her tongue. The bat squeaked i...

<t>Shirida's job today was to scout out some of the lower caverns. Even though she was completely confident in her ability to go unnoticed, she nevertheless paid careful attention to her every step. In Undermountain not doings so could get you killed.<br/> <br/> * * *<br/> <br/> At lunch time the dr...

<t>Adian raised his sword and the arrows meant for him and his horse simply broke against something unseen. <br/> <br/> "You take the hundred on the right and I'll get the ones on the left," Adian said to the warrior, sounding a lot more confident than he felt. He'd gone against bad odds, but this w...

<t>"So that's the way you knights get your way, is it?" one of the armred men demanded before the hapless prisoner could answer. "You're no better than we are. Except maybe they breed you with hill giants."<br/> <br/> As he said this, Iljrene and her men came into the room. They had four other men p...

<t>The doress shrugged.<br/> <br/> "There is always more," she said. "For example the temple is also a library, mostly of history and of songs for the Dark Maiden. And here there is a school for the learning of language and customs. As you have seen the Lady's faithful are more than just Ilythiiri. ...

<t>As the bandits reacted to this unexpected display or resistance, a horn sounded from across the field. From the treeline a shining figure burst into view riding a fast grey horse. He wore a silvery suit of chain mail with plates covering the joints, hips and chest. His hood was over his head so h...

<t>The guards around her laughed openly.<br/> <br/> "This is what dancing to a moon whore does to you," one said. "Makes you weaker than a child. Look at that. Have you ever seen a female in tears?"<br/> <br/> "Only surfacers," another said. "Just before their hearts are cut out. And for quite awhil...

<t>Adian was about to reply when the aasimar's attack on the building blew the door in....blowing away whatever words he might have intended to say.<br/> <br/> The explosion was fairly spectacular. Veraka could see two men in laborer's clothing on the floor, reeling from the entrance. Two other men ...

<t>"She makes mention of a...portal," Adian said, trying to concentrate on the faint whisper in his mind. "I think that's it...some kind of portal to the Underdark."<br/> <br/> "What's that?" Iljrene said as she came out of hiding. "A portal?" <br/> <br/> It was rather strange to see her, this innoc...

<t>G'eldfryn's first reflex was to say "Surface! Definitely not Skullport!" But it sounded cowardly in his own ears, and if there was one thing young males of his age couldn't stand it was being regarded as cowardly.<br/> <br/> "Tails," he said.<br/> <br/> If they ended up going Skullport, he'd sure...

<t>Cinder could feel the brief touch of Zyzaat's mind searching for her before it was blocked by the wards on the place. One of the drow in the room, a male wearing robes, smiled with satisfaction. His protections had indeed come in handy.<br/> <br/> * * *<br/> <br/> Wait...what?<br/> <br/> [i:3t5gj...
