Session 4 - Marpenoth 21 (Day 7)

The party travels accross the web and when they reach a safe crossroads, they continue to the left, in the direction from which the patrol came the previous day. They find a cave and enter. Within they hear a voice coming from inside an inverted tower. The party tries to persuade the voice to come forth but he is unwilling. When they try to explore the tower, drow spellcasters appear and attack the party. First the paladin and later the tiger-shaped druid get mindcontrolled. It takes the combined energies of the star elf wizard and the warlock to keep the party freewilled and mobile. During the combat an invisible wizard starts blasting the party almost killing the star elf wizard who survives only because of the spelllink with the monk of Ilmater.
The party can kill the arcane guards but when the wizard flees within the complex, the paladin follows him while the rest of the party is still struggling with an enspelled tiger-shaped druid. When the monk knocks the druid unconscious she miracleasly shrugs off the enchantment. When the paladin enters the wizard's throne room, he gets applause from the wizard who states he wishes to parlay. The paladin returns to the party who tends to the wounded and then sends the monk as emmissary to gather information. The parlay informs the party the layout of the outpost and that the outpost has been taken by the clergy of Kiaransalee.
The party rests in the entrance of the wizard's cave.
