The adventure began with the party arriving at the bottom of the long drop from the Roper Cave above.  The party sees bones all around and a quick exit from this somewhat threatening cavern.  The party sensed a presence from beneath the bones, but Havana and Spitfire explored beyond the large chamber into the corridor beyond.  They discovered 4 waiting drow warriors, apparently bound to Anabethulio, waiting to kill the pursuing party.  They knocked Spitfire and Havana around, until the party stepped in, and saved them.  The drow were defeated, and an amulet with an drow elven symbol "A" was found, as well as 4 +2 long swords, 4 sets of +3 Drow elven chain mail, and 4 fastfire hand crossbows.  With only 6 bolts the guns which held 8 top loaded, and 2 bottom loaded bolts seemed a good match for Spitfire.  Their 4 lb weight made him carry them in a bag of holding.  The party also found a note from Anabethulio to her guards of why they were to remain behind and to kill the attackers.  The contents of which is listed below.

 

“The Calamar Clan has fought the Baraakeus Clan for 5 generations.  They will be destroyed once and for all before the last leaf falls.  Once all the golden eggs have been gathered the only piece of the great mystery left will be the Stones of Reflection.  When this is achieved the guardians of the shadows will be under the power of the Baraakeus Clan and the Calamars will be no more.”  Cheers, and carry on.                    Anna

 
At that point the party back-tracked, killed the evil, undead presence below the bones, got expts, and proceeded on.
The party then traveled further down the corridor, which led to larger chamber.  The chamber had a vast amount of stalagmites rising toward the ceiling, which was not able to be viewed.  The party happened on a gelatinuous cube, and Spitfire nearly was eaten and devoured.  The party found some gold and silver, and moved further along to another chamber with a dead Otyugh, and spitfire retreived more bolts for his autoloaded gun.  He found 10 more bolts.  The party then stepped into, when they found the wraith, with an undead dragon, and companion monkeyman.  The party dammed them all to DAKA, after some coaxing of the Paladin.  The dragon knocked Havana unconscious with large broad claw attacks.  The undead horde behind the wraith was a powerful illusion, that absorbed some fireballs, and ice storms.  The party later the next day traveled until they found a door in the long corridor beyond the large mazelike cavern, and met Boronir (The Wizard), and his child Stoney.  He offered help to the party if the party could make contact with KelAguto in the prison of Baraakeus, and give him a special ring.  The party traveled to the prison in the city of the drow (Xzakdenushia) and was captured by the warden (Vendurra) of the drow Prison of Baraakeus.  The entire party was eventually pelted with Arrow w/Sleep Poison (DC25) and they all passed out.  The party ended the adventure blacked out.  The next adventure will begin with an awakening.
