The surprise that Nerak has arranged for the adventurers involves her Drow allies. It is Nerak's hope that the Drow will dispose of the adventures, while Nerak and her accomplices strike at their real target - The Temple of Light.

Nodrog's injury isn't severe, but he realizes that he is beginning to feel disoriented and dizzy he slowly moves out of the line of fire. Nidal rushes in to attack the ambushers, but her actions are in vain as the enemy cannot be located. After carefully scouting the area, the party realizes that there are figures moving along the roof tops. Suddenly two Drow drop down behind Kallista and Nibbidard. A green sheen of deadly poison on their blades shows in the street light. Fortunately, the drow are no match for Adrahil and Nidal and are quickly dispatched.

The party move into the warren and Nidal and Nodrog climb onto the roofs to try and get at their attackers. Kallista fires a ray of frost at one of the would be assassins and Nodrog, Nidal. and Adrahil use the bows. A few of the Drow are killed and some fall down into the streets. Nidal and Nodrog also fall from the rooftops as they jump across one too many alley ways. Three members of the city guard rush into the warren. All three are hit with crossbow bolts. Two are killed and one lies in the street begging for help. Kallista comes to his aid and drags him to safety.

Suddenly the bells of all the temples and churches in Statsberg begin to sound. People are screaming and rushing to and fro. The party realizes the Temple of Light is under attack!

The Staff of the Woodlands

The party has returned to the ship and and is trying to decide how to retrieve the Grim Reaper's treasure from the bottom of the harbour. A hooded figure stands on the dock and calls to the party. He boards the ship and introduces himself as Aldin an elf of the Realm of the Wilf Woods. He tells the party about orcs attacking the woods and destroying all goodness in the forest. The situation is desperate. Aldin lets the party know that they have a treasure item that could help the forest dwellers in their fight against the orcs - The Staff of the Woodlands. Aldin asks the party to leave immediately and take the Staff of the Woodlands over the Fang Mountains to the Wild Woods. Aldin is sure that once the staff is delivered to the Wild Woods the orcs will be defeated. Aldin tells the best route to the woods is not along the river, but overland by way of Littleton and Stone Keep. The party are reluctant to leave on this errand. Some of the party do not t...
