Editing Game-Summaries:2/16/2018 Recollections (section)

==Recollections by Jorg==

After the Assault in the Vault, [[Jeroy]] and [[Cassio]] dusted themselves off and followed [[Ci]], [[Ember]], and [[Jorg|I]] to the discovered ruins of Old Solace. There, we ambushed 2 look-outs and one of them immediately began confessing everything he could to be released from our custody. Elyn the drow informed us that there are many different factions and operate without total compliance. Apparently, "the eyes" are next on the list for the [[Chaos Curse]].

We descended the ladder and discover barrels of acidic saliva. We begin to remove the barrels for disposal, when a human commoner catches us. [[Callie]] persuades him to approach before dispatching him. We continue in and begin a fight through drow warriors. 

Drow Tricks: 

- marking opponents with Faerie Fire for future pain.

- hiring Solace's own impoverished citizens for labor

- knowing Common (why did I bother to Comprehend Languages?!)

- being decentralized and forcing other drow to work or die

- just wanting to return to [[Menzoberranzan]] (home?) and being very cooperative

- [[Lolth]] is a matriarch and a god? 

Valas' Champoin hit hard, but Valas' wizardry was nearly too much. Valas calls to "get the commoners to the other portal", but we are too fast to allow any advantage. After defeating Valas, we discovered the drow were feeding the rust monsters metal dust and carefully harvesting their saliva. We evacuated everyone and collapsed this section of the Old Solace ruins in two places. Too bad we didn't find that other portal.

Elyn the drow was physically hurt by the sun and drew plenty of attention as we approached the Magistery. Cece, the guard had Jeroy fetch a Blue Justice, and Tane took custody over Elyn. Elynwas destined for the "lightless", whatever that is. 

After reporting to [[Highest]] Liandrin of our findings, a bell sounds in her desk and we follow her to the depths of the Magistery. Over 60 levels of descent later, we are truly lost, but see Highest enter a door. Unable to pick the lock, Tane answers our knocking and bids us wait because they "have it handled". We leave immediately and rely on the survival skills of Ember and Ci to get us back. 

10 days later...

At the top of the stairs, Highest Liandrin informed us that Ellen was of some use and an Envoy was sent to the Nightshade Kingdom that day. We should be hearing back soon.

Wait, what do you mean I can't enter the Wrestling bouts?! Do you have any idea who I am!!??!
