==Recollections by Ci==

The Book of the Mountain says "Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake." We unfortunately did just that last night while setting a trap for the Drow [[Hune]]. Rather than trust to our plan and let him walk into our ambush, we revealed ourselves early and were forced to fight on ground not of our choosing. [[Hune]] utilized a spider to scout ahead, and [[Tallulah]] was discovered outside the cave where we had set our trap. We were forced to fight him on the [[Hillock]] outside. The battle was brief but intense, with [[Hune]] throwing devastating Magic and summoning a creature from the [[Underdark]]. [[Tallulah]] and her wolf companion were both hit. I was struck by fiendish fire every time my arrows or my blade pierced [[Hune]]'s flesh. It was [[Hune]]'s death, however, that unleashed his most dangerous magic. 

With our entire party focused on defeating [[Hune]], he finally fell to our attacks. With his dying breath he spit one final curse, and his body was consumed by flames which then erupted outwards to engulf us all. I seemed to have particularly drawn his ire, and was twice burned by the otherworldly flames. Indeed, if not for the help of my companions, I would have gone early to walk the paths of the life beyond this one. I was revived by [[Loco]] and his magic projectiles, and as we gathered ourselves to face our remaining foe, the imposing [[Draegloth]], we were again surprised. The creature did not attack again, and instead sued for peace! [[Zifu Poe]]'s words echoed in my head as we listened to the [[Draegloth]]'s proposal, "No life is insignificant. If we have the wisdom to learn, all may teach us their virtues." I could not see the virtue in this creature, but in honor of the Grandmaster and in deference to my companions wishes, I agreed to let the creature go. It is my hope that some peaceful solution may be found to the chaos of these incursions from the [[Underdark]], but I wonder if these creatures truly know or value peace. As the Book says, "While I breathe, I hope, but while I hope, I prepare."

Finally, a personal note for [[Jeroy]]... I am afraid there wasn't enough left of [[Hune]] to put on a spike. We did bring you back a [[Hune in a Bottle|bottle]] of what little was left of him to set on your mantle. May you spend many happy hours contemplating the horrible way he died!
