"What do you want to know?" the warrior asks. "This world has caught the attention of the Demon Lords. Yeenoghu and Maglubiyet have both visited this place. Lolth has children and worshipers here. The Spider Queen sent Aliena to check on them. That is about all I know." He stares defiantly back at Taxidea and Orion.
"Yeah," Deragor agrees. "Niersala seems to be turning into the Demon Lords' favorite vacation spot."
"Well," Bolin says to Prim, "let's just deal with one at a time. Our original mission was to get one of those Goblin Orbs from Maglubiyet's minions. We can deal with Lolth and her ilk some other time."
The warrior laughs. "Don't dismiss the followers of Lolth so quickly. When they discover you killed Lolth's messenger, they will send others to hunt you down."
Orion says, "I know nothing of these demons that you speak about. But I don't think that moving headlong into hostile territory without a firm plan is a good idea."
(OOC when Prim checked that no one was "playing possum" did she notice if Aliena was "Dead-dead", or "making death saves-dead", ie revivable by healing?)
Prim looks at the prisoner. "Yes friend, getting hunted for revenge is getting old. Take a number."
Motioning for others to come closer, she whispers. "Guys, can we not discuss our plans in front of the children?" (nods toward prisoner) "If I animate dead drow, you think we could trick the gobs into thinking they're attacking?
"Yes," Deragor agrees with Orion. He turns to the dark elf warrior. "So, how do we get out of here?" he asks, pointing an arrow at the warrior's throat.
"Back that way," the dark elf gulps. "We came in through a big cave just east of here."
"Well, then," Deragor says, lowering his bow. "I guess we are going that way. Who's leading the way?"
“What about him?” Taxidea asks. “Over the cliff with his buddies?”

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Taxidea looks surprised and then laughs out loud. “Oh shhiiittt Orion - just like that huh? Usually you and Prim hem and haw a little more. But that? THAT was decisive. Who knew Orion had a dark side…?”

Orion and Deragor lead the group through the cavern in an easterly direction until they come to a place where they can see the light of the cave entrance.

"Terrific." Prim says sarcastically. "Instead of one fiend, we have a convention. Who's selling tickets?"
"Yeah," Deragor agrees. "Niersala seems to be turning into the Demon Lords' favorite vacation spot."

(OOC Visiting family this weekend. Maybe slow replies)
OOC: Aliena is dead-dead. She failed three death saves.
( Gotcha. Strike the "revive Aliena" plan.)
Orion says, "I agree with Bolin. We should try to recover the orb, and not be distracted by these orhers.
"Yes," Deragor agrees with Orion. He turns to the dark elf warrior. "So, how do we get out of here?" he asks, pointing an arrow at the warrior's throat.
"Back that way," the dark elf gulps. "We came in through a big cave just east of here."
"Well, then," Deragor says, lowering his bow. "I guess we are going that way. Who's leading the way?"
Orion offers to lead the way.
“What about him?” Taxidea asks. “Over the cliff with his buddies?”
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Orion reluctantly agrees, and picks up the bound warrior overhead hurls him over the cliff.
Taxidea looks surprised and then laughs out loud. “Oh shhiiittt Orion - just like that huh? Usually you and Prim hem and haw a little more. But that? THAT was decisive. Who knew Orion had a dark side…?”
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
"Yes, well, threats of revenge are NOT the way to get on my good side", she says, looking down her nose at the cliff the drow were thrown over.
Orion turns to Taxidea. "It wasn't a complicated decision, actually." He readjusts his leather armor, and moves to lead the way.
Okay, then.
Orion and Deragor lead the group through the cavern in an easterly direction until they come to a place where they can see the light of the cave entrance.
Orion creeps to the cave entrance, searching for anything amiss, and any indication of who passed through here last.
Okay. Roll a Perception or Survival check.
