Dancing in the moonlight:
A Drow male follower of Lolth and a Drow female follower of Eilistreea un wittingly were traveling (not knowing each others faiths) through the Underdark. There purpose was to explore and delve deeper into the rarely traveled deep tunnels of the Underdark. Between the two, conversation remained somewhat unpresent, outside of talking about the direction to go and about there surroundings. The two had a generally safe journey outside of the random Underdark creatures that nipped at there heels and were easily disposed of, both Drow were very skilled. They entered a tunnel that had a unrested feel within the air as though spirits seemed to frequent the area often. Cautiously they moved down the tunnels just to be stopped in there tracks by animated floating armor. They fought together side by side and vanquished these threats as they came at the duo. The helmed horrors proved a slight challenge to the duo but they fought on deeper and deeper into the winding tunnels.
The Duo advanced slowly into a curving tunnel where they were attacked by Humanoid Undead, undead that sported weapons and armor that were foreign to the Underdark. These Undead were fierce and presented quite the challenge for the duo as they traded blows with these cursed undead warriors and finally ending there connection to the world of Faerun. The duo took a moment to gather themselves as they bandaged up there wounds and concentrated on preparing fresh spells. Not but 50 paces away the duo stumbled upon a few dead corpses. The two examined the area and the bodies to conclude this was a Small camp, with bedrolls on the ground. The bodies appeared human and that puzzled the two, for these parts of the Underdark were rarely traveled by Drow let alone any other race. They searched the bodies for any clues as to who they are and where they came from just to turn up nothing other then they were Humans, the gear the humans had with them was of exceptional worth, containing hints of magic on almost everything they owned....A well put together adventuring group, but not prepared enough for whats stalks within the Underdark.
After the duo took the gear off the dead adventurers, one of them walked about the camp looking for anything else of interest. A rope dangled about a foot off the ground, following the rope up with puzzled eyes to notice the rope ascended up atleast 500 hundred feet into the darkness of the cavern into some form of light that could be seen high on up. With looks at each other in confusion, the eyes of the female then lite up as she said "must lead up to the surface". The two discussed whether or not to climb the rope and after speculation they decided to make the climb. The two tested the rope and the female began to climb. As she was climbing she lost her grip and fell about 20 feet down breaking her arm. In pain and agony she uncorked a healing potion and drank it quickly, her arm healed she got up and tried to climb the rope once more making it this time all the way to the top and into th light. The male looking up then at the rope simply shrugged and began the climb, he was more dexterous then the female and made the climb with ease up to the top and into the bright light.
Everything was different from that salty smell in the air to the blinding light that blurred both there vision, they cautiously took the time to adjust to the light and adapt as much as they possibly could before moving out.
tiny green plants grew everywhere with big pieces of stone that stood 3 times there height littered the ground . They moved casualy until they hit a road and crossed it to stay out of sight and continued into a vegetation area that has very large and tall plants that grew from out of the ground, "Trees" the female pointed out as they approached a dense area of them and entered. The bright light in the sky was slowly descending and there vision was starting to become clearer by the minute as they took in this new environment they were in.
Nightfall was upon the two as they explored around in the forest when they stumbled upon a Female Drow standing by a creek bed barely clad. With caution the two slowly approached the female whom turned to meet there eyes, smile and then ran off. The two looked at each other and then followed after the barely clad female deeper into the forest. After a good distance the duo came into a small clearing where another barely clad female was dancing about under the moonlight as well as another female in a form of ritual armor stood near. The duo walked out into the clearing, the male on edge while the female new in her heart that these 3 female Drow were followers of Eilistreea. As she approached the female in the ritual armor smiled and said "Welcome sister" then looked at the male and with a welcoming smiles waved for him to approach as well. The female in the ritual armor appeared to be the high priestess by commanding but yet pleasant and kind demeanor in her voice. The other two barely clad females danced on about the moonlight in a very unique and graceful dance then picked up swords and danced on as goblins came pouring into the clearing. The dancing females in a mesmerizing dance fell the goblins without even breaking the pattern in which they so gracefully displayed.
The male and female from the Underdark spoke to the High Priestess of Eilistreea long into the night, the male uncomfortable for he only new to serve Lolth and was brought up and raised with such ideals. The priestess gave a slight sermon to him one telling him that males and females were equals and that there race belong on the surface as before the exile decent into the Underdark. The time was growing late and the Priestess answered the questions the two had and gave them both words of hope and wisdom before leaving. The male and female quickly back tracked there way through the woods to where the rope was that lead back to the Underdark. The two took a short gaze at the surface and with sighs they descended once more into the darkness, there home, the Underdark.
