Here I Come To Save The Daaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!! 

(Well, not so much)

As the party raced toward the Snuggly Pillow Inn where the High Elven Priestesses prepared for their journey home with the rune stone, they came upon drow fighters about to kill a group of city guard and citizens.

The wizard Naugrim stepped into the ally and called forth his arcane power. Black tentacles spread across the cobblestone to slow anything within their reach to a crawl, successfully planting the drow where they stood. Unfortunately, the dark elves stood over their victims and the tentacles prevented the party from reaching the humans in time. From within a Orb of Darkness cast by a drow warrior, the party listened helplessly as the drow slaughtered the poor Arleners. 

Once freed of the tentacles, the party made quick work of the murdering drow before continuing to the Inn. After a quick intervention by Zazzo and the Carriage of Asskicking, the party found the High Elves dead in their room, the rune stone gone. Before her last breath, one of the High Elves had scrawled the name Khelavan on the floor in her own blood. 

Khelavan, an ancient elven prince, was killed in the war against the Nameless One. The party’s best guess was that Khelavan was entombed along with his twin brother somewhere within the lost elven tomb the party had previously discovered outside of the village of Mirror Stone. All clues pointed to the location of another rune stone somewhere within the crypt.

As the party prepared for the journey north, they were called to a secret meeting at the Keep of Sentinel Tor with King Kandarian, Lord Jax and Captain Abel Kane. Investigations revealed that the drow were ported to the Upper Arlen countryside with the help of a powerful magic-user, a traitor to the kingdom. While the party heads to the north, work crews will redouble efforts to complete the keep and barracks as the king wants a trained military unit ready to defend the region. The druid Mirri decided to stay behind to further investigate the mystery of the drow and to keep watch over her precious forest.
