Summary:

Dear Diary,
Kaze came to the Cassii home to request the presence of us who so bravely fought the evils plaguing Avalon City, charged with delivering a message to the drow below the city. I was unable to leave Tonia who is still comatose, so I sent Luna in my steed and granted permission for Yuria to go. My concern for her must not hold her back as she is struggling to come into her own. The following is an account as best as I could piece together from my conversations with those who were willing to discuss it with me:

Led by Kaze they were taken to a teleporter that went into the underdark where they were first encountered by a dracolisk.Despite a spray of acid, the party was able to successfully bring an end to the vile creature with Luna taking the final kill. After a careful search of the area they came up with a small cache of treasures.

The party chose to move forward, entering a tunnel that limited to moving side by side. Just around the next corner, Virgil was able to detect a weakness in the ceiling before them and before they party could make a decision about which way they wanted to go, they were attacked in both the front and the back. Gajendera and Virgil facing one and Luna alone in the back, but not for long. Juli, another barbarian who bears striking resemblance to Luna, stepped forward to aid her comrade. Together with the support of those in the middle, they made quick work of the creatures. The group turned and the "Barbi twins" hacked their way through what remained of the worm blocking their path, finding a wondrous bag that held more treasures then it would seem possible.

They returned to the spot where they battled with the dracolisk and chose another path, this led them into a chamber where an underground garden existed. Amidst it's own twisted beauty lurked two stone scorpions. They immediately dispatched the first and in a fit of rage over it's lost mate, the remaining used it's magical skills to create a stone tower all around Ariel, locking her without the hope of escape. The party tried to negotiate with it and eventually it was decided that they would leave the creature with it's fallen made and retreat with the agreement that it would release it's fallen comrade. As they began to back away, Virgil, in an invisible form, struck and killed the creature just as it kept it's word and released Ariel, much to the horror to some, the amusement of others.

Coming into a beautiful area full of mushrooms, they quickly found that they were not as pretty as they seemed, each one that was disrupted emitting a cloud of poisonous spores. To the horror and sadness of the group, Yuria was unable to withstand it and passed away. Her body was carefully wrapped up and carried by Luna in hopes that I would be able to raise her from the dead, if nothing else, able to properly lay her to rest.

As the group found their way to the next door, which was locked, Ariel was polite enough to knock, which rudely went unanswered. Virgil was able to pick the lock and lead them into the room where they quickly defeated by the
grimlocks after the illithid blasted them. When they came to, Gajendra, Luna, and Juli were bound and chained and the others were under the charmed effects of the illithid and had become it's willing servants.

Leading the larger three towards hard labor, Luna chose to attack and the others quickly came to her aid, together they brought down their captor and rushed upstairs to find their fallen comrades. After another fight with the illithid, it disappeared leaving them to square off against one another. Once Luna, Gajendra, and Juli had subdued the others, they found their gear and healed the fallen to find their minds were their own once more. They were without Yuria's body however and still had a message to deliver so they continued to travel on.

They reached the settlement of the drow and successfully delivered the message, returning to their original starting point, they burned the map as instructed and returned to Avalon City.

Thankfully in their absence, Tonia was returned to us, and together we removed Sally and returned her to her rightful place around Yuria's neck, it was taxing but between the two of us and the grace of both Hathor and Tamara, my new little sister was returned to the land of the living.

Love,
Servia
