=== Tracking Down Imphraezl ===
After interviewing Karnifax we started on our initial plans of tracking down [[Imphraezl]]. We had found out that a Wizard looking for odd ingredients was in a fortress about 80 miles north of Solace. We weren't sure exactly which fortress or what kind of force he would have with him. 

We decided that we would pose as merchants leaving [[Solace]]. Our hope was to convince Imphraezl that we had beholder eyes (knowing that its an ingredient in the curse), so we could get close to him and better understand what he was doing. [[Jorg]] helped us get a caravan, and brought along a few men (and women) from his house to act as guards of our wagon.

The fortress was 3 days travel and after awhile we came across one that looked as if it was inhabited. Someone had boarded up the windows and take care to slightly fortify the ruins. We began to make our way to the fortress slowly, but as we approached it we were hit by a trap - it seemed to be some kind of variation on the Alarm ritual; not only creating a visual alarm but also firing a fireball at us. 

That's when we decided to send in Eryn and Ichol, the bard and rogue that Jorg had brought along. Our hope was that they would be able to cast Invisibility and go scout the area. However, after a minute they quickly came back. They let us know that they had run into a drow that had seen through their invisibility then laughed at them. They told us that the drow was heading south.
