Finding our way into the Catacombs

by Dahlia Di Mare

* Petros continued to fascinate the female drow while Gabe looked into what kind of spell was being used. As we needed more information from her, Petros questioned her through his song. We found out that Henry was actually dead and that she was at the King's Tavern.
 
* She started fading so Struth slit her throat in the hopes of killling her. A puddle of blood and wax was left behind. We were not sure if she was killed.
 
* Returning back to the Red Dragon Inn, we appeared back into the room. Mal immediately quaffed a liquid that caused him to drop. I figured he need to talk to the ghost in the room.
 
* Mal was able to find the female drow was threatening him to give us the wrong information.
 
* It was decided to leave that night. I did convince our group to go to The Library rather as I had a gut feeling that that was where we should be heading rather than to the King's Tavern. We could always go there later. I helped Mal get into disguise.
 
* In the tavern, Albert was there strumming on his new lute made of turtle shell. I ran over to him and threw my arms around him in greeting. He knew our intentions before I said anything, and he said to say hi to Imna Cobis. I figured that this is the name of the female drow. Turns out that he knew her pretty well. I asked if she knew him as a particular name and he said Alby. He did mention to stop her from going into the catacombs and that they themselves could go in if we wanted. He mentioned that Struth had the key and that there was gold to be found. Maybe there would be enough to buy a ship. I still owed Captain Silver Fox.
 
* Heading to the Library, Struth and I hid in the shadows leaving Mal, Petros and Gabe. There were 2 guards at the gate. As I sneaked towards the entry, I saw my 3 companions pop out of mid air and onto a table set up infront of the door. There was a man seated at the table. They spoke for a little but before Struth and I came out of the shadows. The man was working on solving the riddle. With Struth's help, we were able to open the door.
 
* Before the man could summon Imna Cobis, I took out my rapier and was able to fell the man in 2 strikes. Putting my rapier away, I quickly moved the pieces on the table around then grabbed the body to drag inside.
 
* We all went in with exception of Gabe and the door closed behind us.
