The group met a few new adventurers and brought them into the fold. They welcomed Claude Dill Budshire, a sokari sorcerer who specializes in evocation. Likewise, they welcomed Notch Bowman, a talented human archer.
They then went to the Laughing Beholder to get the latest gossip and information. After they talked to people for a while, Councilman Ozamata’s representative, yakuza Yuan Zhang, entered and approached. He presented them with a missive sealed with Ozamata’s crane symbol. He informed them the Councilman had found them work, as requested. He wanted them to enter the Bral Underdark in pursuit of the Pink Lady, a fairly new arrival on Bral with connections to the construction guilds. Her husband had been kidnapped and taken into the Underdark. She had gone ahead with some of her toadies and wanted some serious muscle to follow her down and help rescue him. In exchange for their services, Ozamata offered to double their investment in his businesses as well as deeding them his latest purchase, Torvey’s Tent Pegs! Formerly owned by Boris the Butcher, this would certainly be quite the insult to their enemy. The team instantly agreed, took the provided map to the rendezvous point, and headed to a known Underdark entrance beneath Gamalon’s curio shop. They spoke with him about Bral Underdark denizens and learned there are rumors of an illithid mastermind in the depths, activities of the Chainmen slavers, orcs and kobolds, and of course the usual Underdark vermin and slimes.
The team found a room where a battle recently raged. Numerous poorly equipped orcs and kobolds lay dead. Helg discovered footprints appearing to belong to female human and maybe four gnomes exiting the area. They also found some pools of a strange brown liquid.
They moved down the hallway and found a triggered fire trap, its pressure plate now apparent. The walls were scorched, and there was quite a bit of that brown liquid sprayed all over. Helg cast communal protection from energy to ward the entire group against fire. Carefully, they moved on down the hall and through secret doors marked on the map.
They came to a door and opened it to reveal another slaughter. The rotting bodies appeared to maybe have once been zombies. From the carnage arose lots of other undead! Two skeletal creatures rose up, their distended purplish entrails writhed from their mouths like slimy spiked tongues. A pair of man-sized doglike creatures rose up as well. They were apparently feasting on the slain corpses. The team paused a moment, shocked by the scene!
