Hunter and Prey

Finishing the Teleportation Circle, Tara, Alruna and Sador rushed through, Bella in tow to bring the group back to an Ael’Tasian teleportation circle.

Initial confrontation learned the group 2 things: 1 It is possible to cast Dominate Beast on a person that shapeshifted into a giant spider. And Dominating Drow tends to make them a little angry.

A swarm of spiders pushed down on the group, buying the Dominated Drow time to break free from Tara’s grasp. Out of spite, she orders her spiders to abduct  Tara into the Ethereal plane while blowing  up the subterranean hideout. Bella, Alruna and Sador take a Teleportation Circle home and Tara had to banish herself home at a terrible cost.

Arriving in the temple of Ogma, Tara manages to pierce through the illusion and remember the Sigil Sequence. They’re immediately recalled to The Black Maiden, a brothel in the entertainment district.

Arriving there, the group started to interrogate a captured Drow. Using a Good cop (Tara), Bad cop (Sador), Mindreader  (Alruna) routine, learning of another hideout in the Noble district. Unfortunately, when matron Lily realized that the interrogation would work she swiftly killed herself. Still, there was still the hideout here to clear, with Bella already moving on for the noble district. Meanwhile, the group sent for Arthur to join them and waited for him to arrive before venturing down.
