Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow

Cemos lays his hands on Dustin's chest. A warm glow seeps out from under his hands, Dustin's eyes flutter and flicker, finally snapping open.

Dustin, you lie in a pool of darkness, floating, without a care and without concern. As your body is sucked deeper into the well of solace that is infinity, you see a piercing light in the sky. It grows brighter, and bolder. Soon, it suffuses you and in the middle of the shining beacon is a squat bearded face. It's Cemos.

You are back to awake Dustin.Inspiration:

The chest doesn't open at first, you suspect the click that was there was actually that of the trap triggering. However, putting an iron spike to the lock and hammering away at it quickly pops the lock and the lid pops up slightly. As you push open the lid, you see a veritable treasure trove of supplies:
4 Silken Gowns in black
a silver chain headdress set with small onyx stones
a drawstring bag holding two vials of a reddish liquid that glimmers as you jostle it.
A small leather purse with 24 gp, 30 sp, and a small moonstone.
A small leather purse containing a variety of dried herbs, plant pieces, animal fragments, bits of bone, etc (a spell component pouch).
A large dwarven hammer, its head wrapped in sillk
A finely wrought dwarven shield
All starting gear for all of you PC types.

As you look through the room, you notice a small hole with a ladder leading down once again, and once again, it is silent.

You find another nicely apportioned room. This looks to be like a room for a servant of some kind to the Mistress. There is a pewter pitcher and goblets on the table, a smaller chest, and a soft bed.

Yup, I'll update the list shortly.

Bildaweer joins the group just as Dustin springs the lock on the smaller chest in the lower room.

Dustin, you find:
Small purse containing 20 gp
Black velvet mask, with silver thread in a spiderweb pattern (25 gp)
Bone dice with elvish characters (10 gp)
Black velvet bag with a spider-shaped onyx brooch (50gp)
Flask of strong syrupy blue liquor
