<strong><em>Interlude</em></strong><br/><br/>Sil'danar, Amariel, Fionna, and Luth now set out for Undermountain..... Sil'danar a master bladesinger, uses his magic to teleport the four near their destination.  They are in search for Raina, Sil'danar and Amariel's daughter who had been with them only a couple days before on a journey to Waterdeep.<br/><br/>A dark elf, named Talen ran across the elves at night and they were attacked by mysterious robed figures.  Sensing a great power in their attackers, Sil'danar bade his daughter to take Talen on with her to Waterdeep, where they would meet.  However, Raina and Talen as they set forth towards the City of Splendors were also ambushed, and were taken prisoner.<br/><br/>And now, it seems while Talen and Raina having met others while in captivity, and Talen perhaps having struck a deal with another drow named Narlros that could get them out alive....but will his efforts be enough?  As while Talen, Raina, Luna, and Katrina now prepare to face whatever awaits them in an Arena; it seems their plight may have been revealed to Raina's father.<br/><br/>A suspicious flyer advertising a series of Arena fighting contests, was kept hidden by a portly tavern owner that is friends with Fionna and Sil'danar.  When he showed it to the elf, a fire burned in his eyes that hadn't in a long time....matching the one that had burned the flyer to ashes in the palm of his hand.<br/><br/>And so, now it becomes a question of whether or not this will be a rescue or a reunion.  Will Talen, Raina, Luna, and Katrina have to fight on their own and trust in their unsuspecting ally, Narlros; or will Raina's father arrive along with her mother, Fionna, and Luth to save the day?<br/><br/>The Travelers, have been searching far and wide for the chosen....thus far only three have been met; a dark elf and two humans.  The dark elf was met and then lost alongside the daughter of Sil'danar.  One of the humans had crossed paths with Fionna, a former monk turned free spirited priestess of Sune.  The other human had wandered into the tavern of the knowledgeable half-orc Reaver.<br/><br/>But now as the others were rushing into battle, Reaver and Dio talked about "simple" travels.  And while Reaver knew the importance of the lad, and had intentions of getting him safely to Waterdeep...neither he nor Dio could possibly know of the troubles in Undermountain.<br/><br/><br/>The evil that looms in the shadows threatening to consume everything, may just be closer than anyone realizes....
