Part 1 - A Thank You
The Heroes rest up for the night. Sabretooth's sleep is disturbed by nightmares as he feels his grip on reality starts to slip.
They arrive at the entrance to the Deep Ways and find a leather bag dangling from the doorway, with the scent of a centaur on in. Inside are magical Kluzan Whetstones. Sigam recognizes them immediately and informs the party of their ability to temporarily magically enhance metal weapons. This is likely a gift or reward from the Centaurs for dealing with the evil Druid and Undead.
Sigam leads the Party to the sealed Dwarven Door and begins taping. Soon she receives a reply. Worried, she tells the Heroes that their Dwarven Guides are dealing with some crisis and will not be able to escort the Party back to Azardmere for a least a few days. The Party is unwilling to wait, so Sigam opens the Dwarven Door, with what Avon recognizes as some form of Magnetic Key, and the Party makes its own way through the underground passages.
Part 2 - The Twisting Passages
The first day of underground travel is without incident, and Sabertooths nightmares continue to worsen. As the party pass over an underground stream, the water comes alive and elementals attack. Eight Water Mephits and two Water Weirds cause much difficulty and frustration, and Sigam is nearly drowned.
Hidden nearby, the hero's find a well-concealed suit of Magical Leather Armor.
When traveling along a narrowing section of the passages town, huge insectoid monsters burst from the rock beneath the Heroes feet. These monsters create Confusion among any who glance into their half a dozen alien eyes. These Umber Hulks almost kill Sabretooth's Ivashu companion Chameleo. They fight hard, but the Heroes are made of sterner stuff and prove resistant to their mesmerizing enchantments. The giant bugs are butchered.
Further down the passages, they spot a dark patch on the ceiling. A sleek Manta-ray like monster, with multiple illusionary duplicates for itself, strikes. The heroes resist the Cloaker's mind chilling moan and a poisonous barbed tail, killing it swiftly. Among the nearby are the desiccated remains of a dead dwarf prospector. They find some gems and potions.
Location - City of Azadmere in the Dwarven Kingdom of Azadmere.
Part 3 - Aftermath and downtime
A day later, the Heroes emerge from the dark ways into the Dwarven City of Azadmere. The Priest of Larani Randel Dyvons and the Druid of Siem Druid Morlais at the Graymere Hall of the Inner Eye thank the heroes for effort in dealing with the evil Druid Viozhul and his undead minions. Sabretooth receives some counseling from the Druid Morlais and a purification ceremony. His nightmares and his desire to do evil subsides.
Over the next few months, the Heroes makes good use of their time in this exotic city.
