Chapter 10As they arrived in Riftside, the adventurers found themselves on a high rise that gradually descended down to a large town. The cavern was immensely high, with only black roiling vapors visible distantly above them. Shortly after entering, a black rain began to fall lightly from the strange cave ceiling. The unusual sight made them concerned, and as they passed a wandering half-hour merchant, the group enquired about the rain. The merchant only had some half-coherent explanation about planar rifts and occasions of weather infiltration from one of The Nine Hells. Ash collected a sample and Lana dared Booker's to sip it, which he did, but nothing happened. While his enemy and his friends were still in shock, Ash launched another magic missile. The wounded sereg turned and ran but before anyone else on the crowded street could react, Ash dropped him with a second missile barrage. Continuing onward, the group found out the location of an inn where they could rest and recuperate. While walking that way on a busy street, Ash spotted someone he knew from his old sereg'wethrin unit, The Sons of The Abyss. Immediately without warning his comrades, he unleashed a blaring Ray of Sound which looked like a screaming skull flying through the air an impacting the unsuspecting sereg's chest. To finish the task, Ash ran up to the mortally wounded elf, dragged him into an alley, and slit his throat. Aghast, his party members asked what just happened. Ash explained that as an ex-serviceman of a sereg unit, his life was forfeit if any of his old unit members should find him. The sereg he killed was a member and fellow soldier from his unit, and Ash was sure the sereg would have attacked if he saw Ash first. Moreover, there may be others in town. The group decided to get out of public and head for the inn to lay low. They arrived at The Bronze Knob Inn and managed to have some quiet time drinking and listening to the local patrons. Once they had a good night's sleep, they came downstairs for breakfast and found the Inn empty. Immediately in their confusion, arrows flew at them from hidden locations. Gradually they spotted a troop of stealthy sereg'wethrin all around, and a fight began. |
