#44 Exiles from Tandar
General Summary
A few days further along their travel down the Styx, the party is foraging for food. While they are, a woman in worn clothing approaches Draktus Glayde, asking if he is from Tandar . He hesitantly says that he is, and she asks if he would be willing to help save her settlement from Drow.
Draktus brings her to talk to the rest of the Adventurers, where she explains that she and the people with her were exiled for protesting a noble house taking over her town in Tandar. They were banished and sent into the desert, where they were lost in a sandstorm. They found shelter in a cave, but the next day they could not find the desert. Eventually they followed the cave into the underdark, where they made a settlement about a year ago. Several months ago a group of Drow found them and has been sending small groups of soldiers demanding tribute every month since.
After conferring, the party decides to help the settlement. They conclude that the best approach is to directly attack the Drow output. They also convince Zarax to assist them, in exchange for half of the gold they find there.
They follow the woman (Diana), to her settlement. She introduces them to a man who can guide them to the Drow outpost. They rest there for the night, with Tia Tsukiko flying up to a large mushroom to stand guard for the night. In the morning, Korradin Xerthall has griffin make an elaborate spider's web with a large C in the center. The party convinces their guide that the web has mystical properties, and should not be touched.
Along with Zarax, the party heads out following their guide towards the outpost. After getting near it, they formulate a plan to stealthy approach using invisibility. Aelen Moongrove kills the lone guard, and Korradin forms a tool out of ice to unbar the door. They burst in and encounter several Drow, who they begin fighting.
