The Story so far:
Having return to the village, Alfard meets Weed & Pink a spellcasting human couple.  Weed is mysterious wizard and Violet is a shy and quiet cleric.   It is unknown which pantheon she has dedicated her prayers to.  Alfard also meets Valenia, an aspiring Paladin of unknown knightly order but shows extreme enthusiasm in apprehending the ruffians.

The adventuring party, venture to the ruffian's den.  Outside of the den, they stay hidden and observe the enemy.   Until finally deciding to act, the party manage to surprised the ruffians briefly.  After much fighting, they finally dispatched the ruffians and return to the village victorious, the ears they bring back as proof of those ruffians slain by the party.

While the party retires to rest, Alfard stays the ground floor of the tavern continuing to party and drink to his heart content.  All of a sudden, the lights went out and all was dark.  Alfard was knocked out by an unseen assailant.


When Alfard finally came about, he finds himself in a dimly lit jail cell and is surrounded by many others including his fellow party members.   Everyone has their equipment removed and is clad only in their under garments.   Brief moments later, a drow elf accompanied by another two male drows visits the jail cells.
The female drow is intrigued by Alfard and orders the jail keepers to release Alfard to her custody for soft duties.   While the rest of the prisoners including the party is sent to do hard labor.

Hours of backbreaking labor later, the party is reunited back in the squalid and dimly lit jail cell.  They acquaint themselves with other prisoners and devise of a way to break free.  Sometime later, an opportunity arises.  Alfard "befriends" one of the drows who in return, promises them freedom.

Hours pass as the prisoners all fall asleep.  When they awaken, they find the door of the jail cell, slightly ajar.  The prisoners sneak out and hear sounds of fighting echoing down from the corridors.  Seizing the opportunity, they jump two unsuspecting guards and free themselves from the shackles.

In the chaos, the prisoners all flee in separate direction except for our intrepid heroes.  Who climbed up the stairs to reclaim their equipment.  There they ran into more drow guards and dispatched them after some combat and flinging of spells.   Realizing they are in an armory of sorts, the party quickly grab any armor and weapons that they could find before a patrol runs into them.   It is only then do they realize that to regain their equipment, they will have to fight their way through even more Drow guards and patrols.

With insufficient equipment, the party decide to flee in the other direction.   The party finally came upon a wooden bridge held up by rough hemp ropes.   The wooden bridge is their only way across the deep chasm and on the other end, another group of Drow guards.  After much rushing and fighting, the party defeated the drow guards and fled deeper into the underdark.

After what seems like an eternity, the party finally descended into a cavern so vast, that they cannot see the ceiling.  As the party tries to regain their sense of direction a strange vulture like monstrous humanoid with wings swoop from above.    Frightened by the appearance of such an ugly creature, Pink the cocked her Crossbow and fired at the monster.   Threatened by Pink, the monster stomp forward and took a bite out of her.   The sharp beaks tore through flesh and Pink collapse onto the ground on her own blood.

Shock at seeing their fellow companion drop down so easily.  Weed the wizard unleashed his offensive spells, while Valenna charged at the winged monster.  After a grueling battle, the winged monster wounds Valenna before it is finally dispatched.  The party patches up Pink and continue on their way trying to find safer place to rest and catch their breath.
