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!
