<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?"
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).
(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..”.

<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”

< Is that tbe way the drow went or back the way you came where rhe bug spear is sticking out of the ice?>
If it's the latter and you missed it:
This cavern has a fifteen-foot-high ceiling and a smaller, dead-end cave at the back of it. Sticking out of the larger cave’s floor at a sixty-degree angle is a giant-sized wooden spear with its obsidian tip pointing upward. The weapon glows with a faint, cold light.
.. if you did mean following the drkw, you'd emerge to find you've emerged from the south wall , a cylindrical, domed building made of seamless black stone and decorated with faintly glowing constellations. Rime-covered statues of human wizards stand in front of this building, gazing outward from atop three-foot-high stone pedestals. The building and statues are raised by a five-foot-high, curved stone platform enclosed by a low wall, with stone steps leading up to it.
speak with the nothics who are utterly ravenous and would eat you if they could, but pragmatic enough to avoid you since you'll definitely destroy them, but also spouting lore re: the city I think you're about to explore,
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Akame warms his hands at the cube, wondering what possessed him to climb a wall of magic ice. Well, it ended well at least. He looks around to see if he could spot anything interesting, and also checks out the bodies. He says to the others, "We should go check out that room back there, with the spear, now that we have some time."
Angus agrees with Akame. "Yes, a giant glowing spear. That's something you don't see every day, and certainly not something you want to leave lying around for your enemies to acquire."
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.

<options at the moment are:
follow the drow,
chat with the dryad again,
speak with the nothics who are utterly ravenous and would eat you if they could, but pragmatic enough to avoid you since you'll definitely destroy them, but also spouting lore re: the city I think you're about to explore,
Or, go back there and start exploring.
or try to pull out the spear from the ice.

Sam looks at it “hmm let me see” you see him reach out to the spear seeing it in ice sam will try and brake it free
