The heroes (Mang, Kennibrae with Aslan, Wooden Thighs, Gamoth with Ashtabular and Leia, and Corvin Oakmead) discussed their plans to attack the drowic outpost Kennibrae noticed ahead of them on their trek to the Underdark city of Erehui-Cinlu. Unfortunately, as they talked too long and too loudly in a lighted cavern, the drow guards notices and launched a sneak attack of their own, catching the group in a pincher move!
The heroes were peppers with poison darts, but somehow Gamoth not only noticed the enemy, but managed to get off a spell, sunray which permanently blinded over a third of the drow and likewise neutralized their poison while destroying their weapons and armor! The remaining drow concentrated on Gamoth, not realized that the Arch-Druid has a VERY hefty resistance to toxin. Mang and Kennibrae charged the blinded drow while Gamoth blasted the other band with similar effects. Corvin and Ash moved in to mop up the rest.
The heroes prepared to tackle the main outpost, but rushed in unprepared. Although the heroes were invisible with Gamoth waiting with a second sunray, the party split up too quickly and didn't use enough preparatory spells. Bugbear and gargoyles swooped in and overwhelmed the weaker members, despite Gamoth's melting the eyes of the drow. Aslan, Leia, and Kennibrae fell and Ash was paralyzed. Corvin and Mang slaughtered their way through the foes while Gamoth held his own. The dwarves fought their way to Gamoth and cleared the Arch-Druid who got first Ash and then Kennibrae back up.
About this time, the group realized that Woody was missing, surrounded with drow as he tried to free a surface ranger, Cedric, captured by the dark elves. Unfortunately for the werepanther, every one of the drow weapons could cut his lycanthropic flesh...the other heroes arrived just as Wooden Thighs fell. Kennibrae, meanwhile, dissolved into tears when she realized Aslan was dead.
Mang gave chase to the one fleeing gargoyle, with Ashtabular, Corvin, and Kennibrae arriving later. Unfortunately, Mang-the-Meat-head ran afoul of more gargoyles, ghouls, and ghasts than he could count...! Ash went down and Mang was paralyzed. Gamoth arrived with Leia just in the nick of time, using a wall of fire to create a fighting line and buy time. He saved the lives of the fallen and then followed up with a protection from fire on himself as Corvin finished off the gargoyles on the party's side of the wall.
Gamoth, protected by his spell, crossed his wall and unleashed a third sunray, vaporizing nearly all the remaining undead. A few gargoyles remained and another wall of fire took them out.
The group fell back to the drow command post where Corvin cast wyvern watch and Gamoth cast rock to mud, with a continual darkness stone in the midst of the two spell effects.
In the morning, the party's status is:
Mang: 53 of 110
Woody: 35 of 67
Gamoth: 84 of 100
Ashtabular: 79 of 85
Leia: 23 (full)
Corvin: 71 of 86
Kennibrae: 38 (full)
Cedric: 38 (full)
