"I thought I told you to wake them," says the drow woman near the dome. She seems to have only just arrived.

"We did," says one of the drow with short sword drawn. "They are waking now."

Titus begins taunting them through the dome. Though none of them can see inside, one of the closer drow responds with a hiss. "Our vengeance comes first!"

"Silence," says the woman by the dome in a commanding tone. "Let the reptile waste his energy. Save the last one alive for sacrifice."

The woman then turns and begins to leave the room.

(Funny thing is Saralyssa has no non-magical ways of attacking out of the tiny hut... She also cannot leave, as doing so would end the spell of the hut.)

Morph waves his hand and utters a word, his eye's beginning to glow with his magic detection.

Morph does his best to check the enemy and the area outside, without leaving the dome, for any detectable magic's

Titus readies up a javelin over his shoulder and looks to his companions. "Fire off a first volley or two and then charge out there?" He pauses and looks at them, "I know its not a brilliant stratagem, but does anybody else got a better idea?"

Rethan hefts his javelin, bouncing it in his hand for a moment while he thinks.  Then a grin slowly spreads across his face.  "I'm bounded to this," he says in a quiet voice so only those in the hut can hear, raising the javelin to show the others.  "As long as it's ont he same plane of existence as I am, I can summon it back to myself, no matter where it is.  Think that would still work through this hut?" he asks, looking at the walls of the hut around them.

"I've also still got this helm of teleportation," he adds in the same quiet voice.  "If we wnated, we could just teleport to a different part of the dungeon.  Morph could open his smoking bottle and let it conceal us from view, then Saralyssa drops the hut and I teleport us away.  They won't know where we went, we'll have just...vanished.

"Well, that's an interesting idea," Laniel says. "Just leave."

Meanwhile, Morph seems to see the drow walking away is holding a few enchanted items but nothing else magical is on the room.

"You just tell me what you want to do." Saralyssa says. As she is the least senior member of this group, she looks to them for the plan of action. "I can drop the hut, blast the area with a fireball, as the smoke is released from the bottle, then we could teleport away..."

Morph smiles mischievously at Rethan and Saralyssa's ideas, whispering back,

"I do like the idea of leaving them with nothing more than smoke and a fireball."

"I suppose the question is, do we want to start the day with a big battle, that may leave us drained for anything else we may face, or do we just skip it and try and head to the next level down?"

Morph looks among his friend.

"My vote is we just leave with a bang, I've had enough of these blasted rooms."

"Sounds good to me." Saralyssa nods her agreement.

Rethan nods.  "Where am I teleporting us to?"

"Hmmm, good question."

"I would think, somewhere nearby, in the passages connecting all these rooms together.

"But then we know at least one, seemingly powerful, drow is somewhere out there waiting for us and I would think it unlikely she is alone."

"What do you think, Saralyssa, Titus, Laniel, any suggestion?"

Morph gets out his Eversmoking Bottle, ready to execute the plan, once a destination is decided on.

"I believe you were keeping the map, Morph," Laniel says with a jab to the ribs. "Just get us close to the end of this maze."

When they have adestination in mind, and the others are ready, Saralyssa will drop the hut, then cast fireball...

Fire damage: 18 DC 14 Dex save for half damage.

"Right, ok then."

Morph shows the map to Rethan, pointing to the passage that leads out of the maze of rooms to the south-west.

"You remember what this part looked like through Midnight's eyes? If you can get us here, we can just skip down to the next area or level."

"When we eventually head back up, we will have to join the painted line back to the area's we have already done, but hopefully the drow will have moved on by then."

Morph packs his things away, getting the Eversmoking Bottle ready, standing close to Rethan and the others, for the short range teleport.

When Rethan and Saralyssa give the nods that they are ready, Morph opens the bottle, letting thick smoke pour out in every direction.

Morph waits for Saralyssa's fireball and then the disorientation of Rethan's teleport.

Titus nods, "So be it." He says as he glares at the Drow through the magical forcefield. "We may just be putting off this fight until later, we've already killed their kin. I doubt they will be as eager as we are to just move on. Still, I've killed enough Drow, and I will be content to simply pass them by and be on with our business here." 

He readies his shield, preparing to defend himself and his companions in case anything should go awry. 

Rethan nods, ready to teleport them after Saralyssa drops the hut and casts her fireball. 

It all happens moments after the woman in charge has left the room. The smoke spills out of the bottle, filling the room. Saralyssa lets fly with her fireball.

She is only able to capture 4 of the enemy in the radius of the blast.

She doesn't have a chance to see the effects of her spell. The deafening blast is suddenly a distant echo as the group appears at the edge of the drow-inhabited maze.

They emerge from the maze before any drow can figure out where they went. The path leading south forks relatively soon thereafter, with one path heading east and another continuing south before turning west.

"Well, now where?" Saralyssa asks as the cap is placed back on the bottle, stopping this area from getting filled with the fog as well.

Morph puts the capped bottle back in his bag before looking.

"Straight ahead? Let's just get some distance between us and them."

Morph waits for Titus, Rethan or Laniel to lead the way, unwilling to be the first body to walk into the unknown.

Morph keeps his eyes out as the group progresses, using his ability to see plainly in darkness and to detect magic, to try and notice any danger before they walk into it.

Morph looks long down the passage to the east as they pass. He can see...and hear...a burbling river at the end of the passage. He shares this information with the rest of the group before they turn the corner and turn it again twice more. They stand at the end of a long passage with a door leading south and two passages leading north.
