Session 8 - Uktar 1 (Day 17)

When they emerge from their hideout the next morning, the mad hermit takes away the stone wall and gets attacked by drow who were standing in wait. The mad hermit falls prone, paralysed by the drow's spells. The drow put the party in magical darkness, seriously hampering the party's mobility and vision. Once the party has evaded the cramped space, they start their counterattack. Saul tries to dispel the darkness but is unable. Dannyx succeeds in dispelling one of the darkness effects. Saul follows but when the scene becomes visible, he also sees that he dispels the healing effects on two of his party members. Already horrified, he then beholds the drow and becomes paralysed. Dannyx uses the moment of clarity on the battlefield to teleport the party behind him. The drow gather the corpse of Carolus and the stabilized body of brother Wilfred and take off into the underdark. The party tries to recover their companions but when the scrying fails, the revenants escape beyond the their reach.
Dannyx then summons a hound archon, who wants to resurrect the missing partymembers but asks the party to perform a quest in return: recover the demonic cloak in Syth Morcane. Dannyx, the mad hermit and Ori are willing to do so but Saul cannot in good conscious stray from the path to Maerimydra. The hound archon regrets this choice and departs without resurrecting the missing partymembers.
