Deeper into the Underdark.



Onwards.



Dear Journal,

Four adventurers assembled at the Peltarch Commons, to delve into deeper Underdark.
- Nuwairah Zarah'kifa (Excellent Warrior),
- Lunia Touve (a Cleric),
- Yatagan (Mage, probably a Sorcerer),
- Chea Allin (a Sorceress Witch),

We went past Oscura's Cave stairs to 'Kuo-Toa' tunnels, then through the 'Umberhulk' & 'Hook Horror' caverns (i cast 'Firebrand' on the 'Hook Horrors' once), to a place where 'Magic Eaters' & 'Skindancers' dwell.

'Magic Eaters' - as name suggests - are creatures that feed on magic ... casting spells on these just makes them bigger & stronger. They also devour & dispel enchantments placed on warriors. After death these leave spell crystals occasionally.

'Skindancers' adapt to damage from different source types ... if cast fire spell - they grow skin resistant to fire ... when magic missle is cast on them - they adapt as well ... and so on. Alternating damage types back & forth, however, is a means to defeat these with spells - even if it's hard.

We've defeated a fair amount of these threats, then decided to return while we still can.

On way back however, we met bandits & a captive, a well known Jeweller Craft Master Isania of Peltarch.

After a short attempt at negotiations fight ensued, i managed to have their chief 'held' for a while, but he shook off the spell somehow; they were defeated nevertheless ... as our warriors excelled, my 'firebrands' proved useful again.

We rescued Isania & returned to Peltarch safely.

She parted with precious gems & spell crystals as a gratitude as we shared trip's spoils among participants.

... now i own 11 spell crystals, it's a precious find.

... i lost some potions however, as well.

--- Yours, Chea Allin, an Adventuress & a Witch.
