Clueless as to what they face, Ascaria waits to see what they do in the face of Sol’s friendly greeting. He can’t imagine there are lots of good people down here, but no sense in killing everything we see. We’re not Pathfinders after all.
pre-round one: Eri casts message on the party.
Round 1, Init 15 AC:13
Eri casts gravity bow and moves up, maybe quietly.
Eri whispers to the party the knowledge local spoiler: "They are drow."

Evil, absolutely. Chaotically so. Their society doesn't seem to breed the evil out of them. Their weakness is Light, which blinds them for a round, and leaves them dazzled while in the area of strong light, such as Daylight, or Sunlight.

Tynan eyes the dusky elf with some trepidation, looking for any weakness in its defenses, but waits to see how Solrisa's greeting is met.
HP:52/52
Saves:Fort 8, Ref 12, Will 5
Mortimer takes wisdom from the archer, tossing an alchemist's fire at the lead drow, and striking true. Solrisa offers a guarded introduction. Eri informs, then readies a more powerful pluck of his arrows. Ascaria delays, possibly waiting for an opportunity. Tynan studies, and waits.
The two drow raise their hand crossbows, and take aim at Mortimer and Solrisa.
The rear drow speaks a strange tongue, with the sound of an order to the lead drow.
"They shouldn't be too much trouble. Kill the female first, and the rest should piss themselves."
Round 2, Init 22
Solrisa trusts Mort, despite his recent outbursts, as having a good reason for having what done what he done did and draws her sword, approaching D1.

The instep of Mortimer's right foot hits the Drow squarely in the knee, but slides gracelessly down the creature's narrow shin.

Mortimer beats the drow to within an inch of his life, allowing Solrisa to finish the deed with a well-placed thrust. Eri protects himself, and advances. Ascaria also moves up, to witness firsthand what lies ahead. Tynan studies the still-living watchman, as it retreats to the back of the stony corridor.
The second drow draws his rapier, as he retreats.
The floor ahead appears to be covered in the same yellow mold you previously encountered in the Whispering Cairn.

Keeping his eye on the visible Drow, Mortimer slowly moves up 15 feet to peer around the bend, ready to dodge arrows if necessary.
"O.K., running away?" he says, to the Drow. "What are you doing here and what do you know about the Shapeshifter network under Egorian?"
Round 3, Init 22
"Mort, look! Mold! Like cheese!" Solrisa chirps to Mort. "I *love* cheese."
Solrisa double moves up, provoking.

Unsure of the effectiveness of Mort's strategy of beating a foe to death and then asking questions, he is at least sure that Sol and Mort have the combat well in hand.

Mortimer, in his zeal, attempts to fire fist aplenty, but only has time for one. Solrisa moves up, and alongside the drow, provoking it to slash at her, managing to draw blood.
Eri takes a guarded shot, his arrow going wide. Ascaria considers the offensive approach to this singular drow, producing a wand. Tynan approaches the mold, studying it instead of the drow.
Circumstance bonus for having previously encountered this, in the Whispering Cairn. It can be damaged by fire, and sunlight renders it dormant, and is harmless if left undisturbed. If a patch is disturbed, it produces a cloud of poisonous spores which exacts constitution damage.
As realization dawns on Tynan, the drow steps into the nearest patch of mold, causing the chamber to erupt in poisonous spores.
"The master bids you welcome."
The drow strikes out at Mortimer, even as he suffers the same fate as the three of you. He seems to take pleasure in his work, as his blade strikes home.
That's pretty self-destructive behavior right there. This drow appears to be under some kind of influence.

Ascaria draws some of the damage away from the team.*
He looks at the wand of spiritual weapon, considers its strength, and drops it to the floor. Gotta sell that thing, it’s useless. he thinks as he once again avoids using it for another. He draws a wand of healing and applies it to his new injuries.
He shouts back at the drow creature, using his own language against him.
He laughs at his own joke, more or less oblivious to the fact that few others can understand him.
The gnome's words are the last he'll hear in this lifetime, as Mortimer embraces him, and Solrisa ends him at swordpoint. The giant's arms maintain their tension, as the body weight succumbs to gravitational pulls.
Round 4, Init 16
Before Tynan can warn about the mold, the drow causes it to spread spores around the room. Tynan is quick to cover his nose, and avoids the blast.
Seeing the drow fall to Mort and Sol, Tynan keeps his sword at the ready. He backs away from the mold clogged room, gesturing the others to follow.
"Eri, we've encountered mold like this before. We learned that fire can destroy it quickly..."
HP:52/52
Saves:Fort 8, Ref 12, Will 5
Mortimer and Solrisa both tolerate the mold, while not tolerating the drow. It ends up quite dead in the giant's arms. Eri, with nothing to shoot at, holds his arrow nocked, and waits for other guests to arrive. Ascaria manages to knit wounds, both otherpersonly and personally. Tynan advises from his study of the mold, while failing to succumb to its poisonous charms.
Down the hall, and beyond the patch of mold, something makes a noise, as it echoes to your present location, though nothing shows itself right away.
There appears to be light footholds along the mold room's walls, allowing earthbound creatures a tenuous way across the dormant danger. Climb Check DC 15 to avoid falling off the wall, and onto the mold itself.
Round 4, Init 22
Sensing a break in the action, Solrisa bends down to examine the body of the drow for loot and/or keys or things of interest.

Ascaria heals others a bit.*
He applies another dose of healing to his relatively minor injuries.
He then moves back and peaks around the corners. He looks carefully and sees nothing.

Mortimer spies the footholds on the walls of the mold room, considers Ascaria's general stature and dexterity, then shakes his head.
...
He drags the Drow body out of the mold to make it available to those looking for loot and other items of interest, then looks down at its body in disgust. Why so ... enraptured? We must be going in the right direction... they remind me of those fanatics back in Dourstone!
"Should we investigate the other halls before we go down this one? Are the spores already released now? Also, The Drows were pretty self destructive. They may be under some sort of influence."
”I think we should avoid the mold and head back this way. See if there’s another way ‘round. Unless they come to us of course.”
Just as Eri finishes and Ascaria starts speaking, Mortimer simultaneously blurts out,
"Are we -- is this here - possibly one of the three cult's cores? What were they again? We could try these footholds" he says, pointing out the cubby/foot holds in the sides of the mold room. He looks at Ascaria again, then adds " -- or maybe some of use could go back the way we came... Naw -- there's got to be a way to get you past this quickly... "He grabs one of the rapiers and beckons to Ascaria to return.
Round 5, Init 16
"We could try to kill two birds with one stone, if Eri can still cast a ball of fire today." Tynan pauses, hoping someone is listening this time.
"If we can hear noises beyond the mold room, then whatever it is can likely hear us as well. Why not try and lure it toward the mold room, then let Eri hit it with fire, wiping out the mold at the same time?"
"I shouldn't have any problems using the hand and footholds to bypass the mold, if you want me to check things out."

"I think a fireball would be overkill. Let's finish looting the bodies and I'll build a Drow Bridge through the mold.
"Fine. I'll keep watch back the way we came."
Tynan moves back to the tunnel entrance and stands guard.
"Oh, Mort! Look!" Solrisa smiles as she rises. "I have those fire flasks that we like so much! I have them, right here..." Solrisa begins to sort through her belt pouch for the two fire flasks she just knows she has.
She searches more before a large smile escapes her lips.
"Oh, oopsie! I don't have any! I forgot I used them all with the eggs. Ha ha! Silly Sol!" Solrisa laughs at herself.
"You work on the Drow bridge and I'll watch this middle hall. Ascaria, can I have some light down here?"

"Fine. I'll keep watch back the way we came."
"Thanks, Tynan!" Mortimer says, picking up the first looted body.
"Oh, oopsie! I don't have any! I forgot I used them all with the eggs. Ha ha! Silly Sol!"
"I've got one left, but I think it should be saved for something bigger. Did you want it? Stand back, everyone," he says, preparing to toss the corpse into the mold in such a way that the attacking Drow is caught up in the spore cloud.
Tiddly Drow.
+Iron Lung Trait, +Cloak[/ooc]
Mortimer chokes back some tears from the noxious stuff.
"Man, this stuff is nasty."
He then tears through the remaining mold to confront the newcomer.
I guess this makes me a fanatic too!
Mortimer drags the drow body from the mold chamber, allowing Solrisa to loot the body. Eri loots the second body, keeping the gnome near for light. Ascaria heals the giant, then treats his new wounds. Tynan returns to the opening in the wall, posting sentry.
Another drow appears on the other side of the mold chamber, leveling his hand crossbow, and taking aim at the maiden.
With no Survival, or Know Direction, North is an addled thing beneath the streets of Egorian. Feel free to use the map's orientation, with up for North, if you so choose.

Solrisa double moves after the drow (possibly provoking), making a line through the mold.

He then casts on himself, to try and clear the backlog of damage he’s absorbed.
He’ll then move up with the party.

Eri will cast detect magic and focus on the passage he is guarding once he’s done looting.

Mortimer launches the drow body, then proceeds to follow Solrisa forward, both of them consumed in a doubled dose of poisonous spores. Fortunately, they are young, and can endure such threats to their health. Eri remains behind, seeking out magics in the entry corridor.
Aside from the party, nothing in the drows' personal items glows with magic.
Ascaria lights up again, while Tynan cautiously guards the rear, much the same way Hourpen did not too long ago.
On the other side of mold, Solrisa and Mortimer spy another drow on an overlook, 10' up, ready and waiting. He takes a shot at Solrisa, for her proximity.
The drow on the ground steps back, wincing from the light. To ease his milky white eyes, he mutters something, and the tunnel turns black from lack of light.
The rear end of the party can see two glows of light trailing the maiden and the giant, but they themselves are no longer bathed in light, as something suppresses it
There is magical Darkness afoot... something not unheard of in drow circles...

Seeing the front of the party bathed in not-light, Ascaria does something about it. He casts Daylight, touching the band on his hat and bathing, he hopes, the chamber with light. He then 5' steps closer, but not a full move, wary of the front line of drow not far ahead.
Round 7, Init 17-
Fort vs. DC 13
Solrisa delays for want of light, then proceeds when gnomic lighting comes online. She steps up to the caster and strikes feverently.
"Ascaria, look! Light!" Solrisa breathes with a smile, now able to see.
