And again 9
Thr darkness about the red wizards and Akame fades.
Akame and Morwena are up, then the drows, if they're alive
Sam will cast pass without a trace on the group

Emerging from the tunn3l, the trio of adventurers find an ancient orchard, filled with purple pear trees, somehow still growing in neat rows in this cavern under the ice. The tunnel at your back, you see, past the orchard before you, another passage. From here the sounds of swords, spells and Morningstar is heard. To the north and south there are other openings you will bypass uf you follow the sounds of combat.
<DC 15 perception to notice the dryad. Nothics are in a side cave. >
Angus Perception 15
Akame dedicates a prayer to Tymora as the drow attack each other, glad his magic had at least some use. He doesn't want to rely on it, though, and sends another fire bolt at the drow who seemed the most injured.
( Attack: 23 Damage: 19 fire damage)
Tetrevess stealth 7 in log, plus Sam’s spell =17.
Akame scales the ice wall and blasts a drow warrior wirh a fire bolt, spelling his doom.
Morwena holds her action. The drow disengages and retreats the way he entered (north passage).
<you can follow if you want. Spoiler, he came feom the underdark, he's fleeing to the underdark. If you want to poke aroud the underdark, I'm all for it, but barring that, thus combat is over. And lesr your concerns mount, the drow will come back in numbers, in a tenday or so. This is due to a sending spell sent days ago.>
Morwena ceases concentrating on the wall of ice and it vanishes. Upon seeing the dead mage, Morwena notices the spider silk satchel he wears and looks to Tetrevess, who has just rushed into the room alongside Angus and Samogri.
"Tetrevess, what are you doing here? Wait. Plenty of time for catching up later. Have a look.at this practitioner. He's git something about his waist, and my suspicion is that's where he keeps his spellbook. I don't suppose that would interest you, would it?"
DC16 Wis save against suggestion
(forgot stealth roll 16 )
Angus is surprised at seeing his old comrades here. "Well, this seems unlikely to be coincidence. Morwena, Chadderlay... hello again. Looks like you've been having fun."
He looks puzzled at Morwena's attempt to charm Tetrevess. "Why...?" he asks. (Aura of Devotion, friendlies within 10 ft of Angus can't be charmed).
Perception check to see if Sam saw the spell being cast

(As Tetrevess is near angus, he resists the spell. Arcana check to recognize it.. 25 in log.
”Morwena- if you want me to examine the bag, you merely need to ask.” Tetrevess scolds. “Oh- it’s good to see you all. Hope everyone is well. We’ve had.. quite the adventure as usual. As have you, apparently!” He uses his invisible mage hand to search the spidersilk bag. “I’ve learned the hard way to avoid touching things of this sort”. He explains. “Although with you all here, perhaps not much to worry about..”.
“You’ve all been fighting? Anyone badly hurt?” He seems to recognize the situation a bit more. Tetrevess says
<I'm just role-playing Morwena. She's super manipulative. She thinks it might be trapped. Spoiler: it's not. It's just a wizard's spellbook and some minor loot. If T doesn't take it. I guess she'll ask a bugbear to do it. They're being paid for this kind of thing already. >
"Well, if you aren't the least curious, I suppose I'll check it out for myself.
"Excuse me," She address the bugbear chief "Would you care to see what our friend was carrying?"
"We have suffered enough! Clag is dead. Artosh is gone. Now Geultah has been slain. No more! We part ways here."
before the bugbear can act, Tetrevess retrieves the bag with his mage hand and cautiously examines the book. “I probably should look this over. Thanks”. He says.
In the bag there's a spider-shaped brooch made of obsidian and engraved with the symbol of House Dalambra (25 gp), and a half-empty bottle of Elverquisst (a rare, ruby-colored elven liquor distilled from sunshine and rare summer fruits). Professor Skant recognizes Elverquisst on sight, since he is an expert on the making of it.
Yilsebek’s spellbook has black leather covers and pages made from sheets of trillimac (an Underdark fungus). The book contains the following spells: alter self, cloudkill, comprehend languages, detect magic, Evard’s black tentacles, fabricate, fly, greater invisibility, lightning bolt, mage armor, magic missile, misty step, sending, shield, suggestion, web, and witch bolt.
"I have no use for this. Keep it and I'll hold on to the rest. It looks like you've got more than enough muscle to protect you down here now." The chief sneers as he looks at Samogri and Angus. "Have fun being her meat shields. This place was not meant for the living."
The bugbears tske the elverquist, the drow symbol and say some.words for their fallen friend before heading out the way they came, through the orchard.
"So," Morwena says to Tetrevess, "can I interest you in some light reading?" as she holds up the spellbook.
<I'm just trying to give you this thing. The NPC doesn't need it.>
<I strongly suggest you check out the spear thing in the other room stuck in the ice floor>
Tetrevess says “thanks, I’ll take the book. Let’s look around and see what else is here”.
he puts The book and the spidersilk bag in his pack.
Sam looks at the chief after they left he turns to morwen “they cause you a lot of trouble” then talks to T “you think I can use it or is it more your taste”
“It’s a arcane spellbook, probably not your style, but happy to share the spells with anyone who can use them.” Tetrevess says to Sam.
