When last we left our brave adventurers, they were licking their wounds from the fight with the vampire assassin Damas. Aaron strolls up wondering why the commotion, and moreover, why are we all in such bad shape. We explain to him what happened, and we all came to the conclusion that the moathouse needed to be better warded against evil but that we had more pressing matters to deal with at hand. We spent many hours debating what to do at the reception, and came up with the plan that Mattias will point out who is a doppleganger to someone and that person will relay that information to others. It was at that time that they decided to go to Aes Garathon the following day. They teleported there, and spent the day finding clothing suitable to such an occasion. The group then met up at a tavern, and just as Mattias and Felicia were going to retire, they noticed a commotion. Apparently House Survail (one of the lesser 3 houses with Trulane and Arcturous) had been experiencing many deaths among its members, all of which were strange happenings, but the commotion was due to the house being on fire. The group suited up and moved to the manor house, where they were flown over the gates by Aaron.
Once over, they saw that there were a multitude of Dire Weasels (maybe it was rats) that were laying dead on the ground smoldering in the fire. Most of them had crossbow bolts in them. The group then saw a figure emerging out of the house, apparently in a weakened state. The group noticed this person was Del Revan. He told us "The shadow king says 'Hi'' and informed us of a Drow presence in the basement. He then collapsed and the mightiest healer in the land couldnt save him (FMV).
The group went down into the basement and found that one room was completely guarded by a decently strong regiment of drow; however, they were surprised when the Drow showed no ill will towards the group and even lead them to the drow priestess of lolth. The bitch then decided that we were worshipers of the "false dark god" and ordered them to kill us...boy was she wrong. Aaron killed the drow by the handful with his powerful fire spells, while max destroyed them with his amazingly and oddly powerful shurikan. After basically killing the entire drow regiment off, the ground began to shake as a demon spider emerged from the depths. One of its attacks paralyzed, dazed, and or destroyed party members, familiars, and cohorts alike. Maeve dispelled the effects off of Mattias, who in turn dispelled it off of Aaron, and then Felicia (but we were OOC by then) and Aaron destroyed the creature by using 4 Fate Points. The problem was, that some of the party are now under the impression that the Shadow king is trying to make us weaken lolth's power or something of that nature.
