The heroes (Kennibrae, Wooden Thighs, Gamoth with Ashtabular and Leia, Corvin Oakmead, Cedric, and Alec) go through the magic items they recovered in the drow lair and off the bodies of the fallen
Magic items:
• Ring: tempest number
• Wand:
• Scimitar
• Staff, black leather-like, very strong, disgusting scenes and vile runes
• Dart
• Scroll: Wish
• Book
• Scroll: Astral spell
• Magical gemstones
o Blue quartz
o Cut Amethyst
o Hematite, round
o Glowing golden yellow star (sunstone)
o Peridot
o Emerald
o Deep cerulean blue w/ symbol carved into its face
• Potion, purplish-blue: Jessica Doppler (x2) speed
• Potion, deep green: Older Scott Wilson (x2) extra-healing
• Many, many house insignias
Other treasure:
2000 gp
200 sp
100 cp
They want an insignia of house Eilservs (a copper staff), because it is aligned with the EEG. So far, they have noble house insignias from:
• Everhate
• Despana
• Noquar
They also have the following insignias from merchant houses:
• Yellow mushroom
• Pewter bars
• Violet urn
• Pink horsetail mushroom
• Red gem
They decide to head toward the medusa lair marked on their maps to go on a looting raid. After traveling most of the day, they encounter the drow patrol that had gotten away from the previous battle. There are also twelve bugbear behind them.
A male mage joins the male drows and casts mirror image. There now appear to be seven of him. Then two trolls also show up. Woody heads over to the female drow while Mang takes on the males. Leia, Cedri, Corvin, and Leia take on the bugbear at the back of the party.
Seven ghouls and four ghasts join in as well. A mage casts web down the hallway, only catching Corvin. Gamoth uses a flameblade spell to remove the webs.
Alec, now free of the webs, casts slow poison on Kennibrae. Gamoth lets loose a sunray down the corridor with the undead and the female drow. It gets rid of most of the undead and blinds all the females. One counters with cure blindness and the other with clairvoyance.
Corvin casts Axe of Clanggedin, giving himself and Mang an additional attack per round. Ashtabular assists with magic missiles, helping to clear foes. Gamoth redirects the sunray at the females again, reblinding the priestesses. Woody heads for the main priestess.
Mang has taken a lot of magic missile damage from the drow mage, and now a fighter from the back runs up, throws a javelin, and engages him. Gamoth now casts his sunray down the corridor with the male drow, but it only blinds half of them. Corvin runs over to keep the trolls down, after Mang brings them down.
Two of the remaining male drow who can still see, back up to the mage to protect him as Mang tries to get up to the mage. Meantime, Woody takes out the drow priestess. Gamoth drops a wall of fire down the corridor, frying a number of the drow and the downed trolls. Corvin casts protection from fire on Mang, so he can enter the wall of fire. Kennibrae casts also casts it on herself.
The mage stuck in the wall of fire casts lightning bolt at Alec, Mang, Gamoth, Corvin, and Kennibrae. Corvin runs back to help out Leia and Cedric. Leia lets him take her spot. Kennibrae runs into the wall to attack the mage. Alec runs back to also help with the bugbear. Cedric gets taken out by a bugbear. Ash sees one of the bugbears run off, so she bounds after him. Mang falls over paralyzed from all the poison in him. Kennibrae magic missiles the mage to try to get rid of his images. She then starts trading blows with him and runs out of the flames, after eating goodberries.
Gamoth casts protection from fire on himself while Kennibrae faerie fires her three opponents as she backs away from the fire. Ash and Woody catch the running bugbear. They kill it easily. Kennibrae slays the drow mage as Gamoth hems him in. The party lets the wall of fire burn out, then Kennibrae punches out the remaining two male drow.
Eeps: 3800 each
They tie up the two drow left. Between ego whipping and mind read spells, they get the following info:
They were from the last outpost and sent to avenge their fallen compatriots. After Lolth’s death, the cults of the EEG and Vhaeraun took over, with the EEG being the major power broker. A smaller cult of Kiranaslee also moved in and new cult of Bast arose. The noble house Eilservs is the first house of the city. He says this area is ruled by the drow. There is an uneasy truce with the illithid. There are rogue beholders in the area. There are aboleths in the sunless see, with kuo-toan outposts along the sea. They avoid the kuo-toan shrine. He confirms the staff they found is a demon staff and serves the powers of the abyss. There are communities of hook horrors. There are also intellect devourers and psionic humans. The humans slaughter anything that comes against them. They are very powerful and can appear and disappear.
He won’t convert to the worship of Elistraee and is deeply committed to the Spider Queen, Lolth, and the forces of evil, so Kennibrae sends him to his goddess.
Treasure:
• Spell book:
• 151 pp
• 302 gp
• Gems, 100 gp (x3)
• Potion, red & blue: “renegade’s cheap ability” spider climb
• Potion, pale blue/pale green: “broken Tasha” broadcasting
• Potion, silvery w/ red specks: “Paul Snyder’s favorite power” (dexterous and skilled) Cat’s grace?
The find a place to bed down for the night. The next day, Kennibrae makes a breakthrough with the drow prisoner, who shows openness to joining the party. Ashtabular itemizes the demon staff so the party can safely transport it.
Two days later, they arrive at the medusa lair. The notice that the stalactites and stalagmites have all been removed. There is yellow fungus all over the floor. Mang marches up through and finds a hole that leads down to a cavern. The sides are smooth, so Gamoth stone shapes some rungs to climb down.
They get down into a chamber littered with coins. It’s fake. Rising up from the treasure is the medusa. She was invisible. She lets out a hiss and gazes at everyone. Mang closes his eyes and attacks her, after getting a bearing in the mirror. Woody, Kennibrae, Cedric, and Woody move to attack as well. That’s when a web gets cast at them, but Kennibrae dispels it.
Corvin starts climbing down. A fireball goes off. The rest of the party tries to find where it came from. Mang spies a drider.

p.s. -- many of the gems Alec was carrying were destroyed by the fireball -- all that are left are the yellow glowing sunstone, the purple amethyst, the green emerald, the shiny gray hematite, and the vibrant cerulean blue (with sigil). The blue quartz and periodot are no more...8-(
