Pursuing Adrian

After the death of Thorne at the hands of Adrian, the party vowed revenge against the Incubus. After eliminating the spectral assassins sent to eliminate them, the party sought the wisdom of a fabled demonologist who resided in the Blood House in Hundlestone. In his basement, the Demonologist revealed prophecy to the players in the form of illuminated panels. The four which illuminated were: That of the Spider Queen, An Ancient Horror from the Oceans which ruined an Empire, A being from the realm of pure fire, and something having to do with Cay. The elderly man, under the trance of magical insight, then stated that Adrian was last spotted deep in the mines of Hundlestone. Its residents were expecting a visit from the party and would await their arrival. After traveling there, the party was pulled into the portal and magically transported to the Drow War-Outpost where a Priest of Lolth stood trial.
She, a Judicator of the Spider Queen, offered the party a challenge. The party would prove their might to the Drow (Martial Might is a Valued Trait) through arena combat or be enslaved by the Drow. Their combatants would be the tortured and broken body of Adrian and a Minotaur wielding twined axes. After being led through a small settlement, the party was put into the natural arena formed out of a depressed stone base. The Judicator and her counsel sat around the outside with many of the town's inhabitants and soldiers watched the foreign combatants.
