Episode 14 - Out of the Frying Pan!

Where we last left off, our intrepid party found a Chapel of Rigga, the Earthmother, outside Adrik’s Folly. Inside, a woman, Alexandra Galekin, a cleric to Rigga the Earthmother, indicated her husband, Kevin, had been captured and being held in Adrik’s Folly along with other villagers captured by the drow.  She implored the group to help rescue Kevin and the other prisoners. 

She provided the party with a one-time use of a teleportation scroll, where the circle is in the Chapel of Rigga. 

Entering the secret entrance and exploring Adrik’s Folly the party came across two drow guards.  Quickly dispatching them, they entered a door they guarded. 

Inside were Rybalka villagers, among many others, captured by the drow. 

The people clamor to their feet, surging towards the group. In a deep, resonated voice, a tall, thin man asks, “I’m Kevin Galekin; who the hell are you?”

Wynter told the captives.  “We’re Heroic Inspiration! We are here to Rock and Rescue you!”

A dwarf with bright red hair then emerged from the crowd, and the party recognized him as your manager, Col. Amberaxe. 

Utilizing the teleportation scroll, when the portal opened, a magic mouth provided portal instructions, but also alerted the castle that their prisoners were escaping.  The party held off the drow as the 50 villagers went through, while All the

Cookies napped on a comfy couch part of the battle knowing the party had this.

The party also encountered a few drow of note.

·         A high-level female drow caster who controlled the fire elemental.

·         Thunder – A male drow monk-ish warrior.

·         A female drow emerged from the royal chambers.  She looked somewhat familiar, but fuzzy like from a dream. Her eyes glowed like there was an intelligent light behind them.  While her skin was paler than the drow you had seen before, what stuck out was it didn’t seem like she was breathing. 

Now, the party finds themselves back at the Chapel of Rigga with the rescued villagers, but without the Moonshard crystal.
