The cloud of bats continued for minutes that seemed like hours, but we kept moving, trying to stay ahead of the demonic shrieks. The bats gave us some cover, time to find a hiding place. The vrocks were close, but they were toying with us, giving us time to run. Where would we go, after all? Tellar found the caverns behind a faceless statue, a narrow tunnel wet with black water but enclosed and easier to defend. Something within had died and left the stench of a thousand hells. The demons mocked us from outside the caves, but seemed reluctant to enter. The tunnel water pulsed and quaked. The waters trickled over runes barely more than a scratch in the walls. Charda runes. What, tell me, makes a demon hesitate in fear? In the Land of Black Blood, even the mighty learn caution. —Scrap 138 of the Journal of Bhorvhar Flintheim
After discovering Allevrah's whereabouts in the drow city of Zirnakaynin, our heroes are now headed to follow her steps towards the Land of Black Blood, acutely aware that they have left an enemy in their back. If they want to survive and bring their mission to a successful end, they will have to step carefully, for the deep reaches of Orv tolerate no mistake.
Checking your packs as instructed, you do indeed find a map where your current location is marked, as well as that of the portal to the land of Black Blood.
The portal is not that far away, probably about fifteen minutes to half an hour's walk, but not so close that you need to worry about getting discovered right now.
The second parchment contains concise instructions on how to operate the portal, including the indication that you'll have to catch Tiryin as he has the key needed to open it. Otherwise, you'll have to find a different way to do so.
Lastly, the instructions on how to reach Haitan are quite simple: Follow the passage in which you arrive downward. You'll enter a great cave. Continue straight forward, you'll reach a temple surrounded by stone statues: this is Haitan's domain. P.S.She likes gems.

Short in stature and sleek of form, Throndon Bar was entered at an early age to train as a member of the Dennovar Blades - a rank of elite soldiers in charge of protecting Dennovar. Arrayed in the glorious white and sapphire tabards, he quickly gained ranks in the organization with proven and sound tactics and execution.
Throndon Bar answered a religious calling during his tour as a Dennovar Blade - the call being sent from Pelor and he answered swiftly and with all confidence he will perform his new duties with excellence. His prowess as a warrior and a servant of Pelor gained him recognition among his peers and among his superiors alike. Soon, he found himself in front of Blade Captain Yelsharra - and in response to his operation responsible for throwing back a band of trolls - asked him to be her second in command. He accepted the position with all haste.
Commanding a small group of soldiers and responsible for training up and coming members, when the Blades heard of the incoming attacks on Brindol and the call from the priests of Pelor there, Throndon was the first to volunteer his squad. Yelsharra, continuously impressed by Throndon's confidence and his initiative, sent him and his team on their way and with well wishes for a successful venture.
Throndon's short stature is only evident when he is walking about. He attributes his shortness to some dwarf blood in his heritage, though he has never been able to pin down where it originated from - his father was shorter than he is however. Normally atop his friend and ally, Duskclaw, it is difficult to judge him for his height and he looks all the more resplendant on Duskclaw's back.
Throndon is a confident and well-spoken paladin. Even in situations where his men face insurmountable odds, he stands solid and ready for more.
Throndon keeps his beard cut short and neat - as well as his thick brown hair. With his full faced helm, his hair and beard are rarely visible anyway. His piercing brown eyes are tough to read, though honesty is always behind them.
Throndon's family is native to Dennovar. His father was a swordsman in the Dennovar Blades and his sword is the one Throndon wields today. His mother took care of the household and his two younger siblings up until their death from the winter wastes three years ago.
Since The Red Hand's defeat and with the new plan to infiltrate the Underdark, Throndon has had to bid farewell to Duskclaw in favor of a divine mount who would be better acclimated to service under the surface. He is still getting to know the new Cave Gecko under him, but Eleto (translates to Swift Thunder from Draconic) is proving to be a very reliable mount.
Throndon has outfitted the gecko with a special saddle that enables him to stay mounted no matter Eleto's orientation - whether on the surface, a wall or even the ceiling. He still feels uncomfortable riding upside down - but he is getting more used to it as the days go by and he practices every day.

Appearance: height:5'5" weight:118 lbs Age: 120 Quill has glacial blue eyes, and iron-gray hair cut medium short. His skin is a light tan from spending some time out-doors. Quill is dour for an elf, the constant fighting against the Drow has made him grim. His face bears a three-pronged scar below his right eye. This was recieved in close combat with a claw wielding Drow. The claw was poisoned, but Quill survived by luck. Perhaps the poison had already been used up on other victims. Quill wears loose fitting trousers of pale brown, and a leaf-green tunic. His leather boots, and bracers are of darker brown. Quill wears a wide brimmed felt hat of dark blue-gray, and matching cloak. Quill's clothing has seen a bit of road wear. It's not shiny new.
Personality: Quill is serious about his magic, but he does not let "the art" keep him away from life. The conflict with the Drow has forced him to study magic far more diligently than he otherwise would have. He longs for peace, but knows that there will be none as long as the Drow below threaten his people. Quill is used to supporting troops with his spells so he is quite willing to cast useful spells on his team mates. Quill usually wants to avoid conflict, but he can be quite stubborn when he feels he right.
Background: Quill was born, and raised in the Crying Leaf villiage. In his early youth he traveled abroad to widen his world view, and perfect his magic. When the war against the Drow started Eviana sent out the call, and of course Quill returned home to fight for his family, and villiage.

Inducted into the priesthood, Kritasect underwent the ritual to convert his multifaceted eyes to the ordinary eyes of elves. Priests are expected to devote their time completely to Klikral. Kritasect choose to harness his inner magical talents in addition to serving Klikral.
Kritasect is not an corrupted as the typical insectare. He is more driven by the quest for knowledge than anything else. While not as interested in dominating other species, he doesn't think of other creatures as being important. Killing a human or elf is no different to him than squishing a bug is to most people.
The insectare had been attempting to inflitrate the drow to learn what secrets they hold but have been unable to do so. Kritasect decided to try some more radical than had been attempted. He allowed himself to be discovered by the drow. He ran but prentended to slip. When a large spider came over to kill him, he seemed to cower and plead for his life. In actually he used Klikral gift to stop the spider. The spider stopped which caused the drow to joke that even the spider didn't think he was a good meal.
The drow kept him as a slave. He has shown them a little of his arcane talents to win there favor. He used magic aura to hide his magical equipment. He understands the expectations of him, displaying his insect features more promenently to the drow and adding some insectare sounds to his speech. Kritasect is the name he claimed but the drow tend to refer to him as bug or Click due to the sounds he make while speaking.
In his dealing with the drow, Kritasect has come to find them extremely loathsome. They squander their power with internal strife. Living underground they are more likely to direct compete with the insectare. He is interested in finding ways to promote the infighting amoungst the drow so as to decrease the threat they pose.

Background: Rosys’ life started deep underground in a deep dwarven community. Life was fairly hard as they had to beware of Drow, and other underdark denizens, raids. At the very young age of 30 his home was attacked by a large force of Drow who wished to enslave his people. Either that or wipe them out. He was never sure as he and about one fourth of the community managed to escape. He lost his father that day, but his mother and younger sister made it out with him. They moved closer to the surface and ended up forming a new community and meeting a group of surface elves. They formed an alliance with the elves and have been working with them ever since in trying to keep the drow underground. It was one of these elves that first saw him and nick named him Rosy and the name stuck.
When he came of age Rosy started wandering the caves around his home and eventually learned them well enough that he was hired on by the elves as a scout and guide when they made their forays into the underdark to drive back the drow. The elves were surprised at how stealthy he could be and a few of them took him under the care and taught him almost all he knows about scouting and killing drow.
In one of his trips to the surface, Rosy encountered and worked with a large elf, large as elves go, named Arifand. The two found they had a lot in common and even struck up a friendship. Arifand preferred to wander all over the surface world in the valley and Rosy preferred to stay near his home on the surface or underground. They have met several times over the years and have worked together on about a dozen different occasions, each promising to respond to any call for aid form the other.
Personality: Rosy is a bit reserved and appears shy around others. He is not really shy he just prefers to keep quiet unless he has something important to say. For the most part he likes to be alone, but he does understand the value of larger groups.
Rosy believes that one must always do what is going to cause the least amount of harm to the least amount of people. He has no qualms about killing someone in cold blood if he is sure that that person would go on to continue to cause many others harm. Drow are the one exception to this rule. He is more than happy to kill any drow he sees or encouners.
He believes one should be responsible for ones actions and if his cause a problem he is willing to take his punishment and not drag anyone else into it with him.
Appearance: When one sees Rosy the word “red” comes to mind. His hair and beard are a bright red color and his skin has a very red tinge too it. In contrast, his blue eyes seem to sparkle and almost glow. All of his equipment is a dark gray. Even his weapons have a subdued color to them instead of the shiny metal most people prefer. He is a little short for a dwarf, but his muscle mass more than makes up for it and most are surprised at how lightly and quick he can move when he wants to.
Wash: "Yeah well, if she doesn't give us some extra flow from the engine room to offset the burn through, this landing is gonna get pretty interesting."
Mal: "Define interesting."
Wash: "Oh god oh god we're all gonna die?"
Mal: "This is the captain. We have a...little problem with our engine sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then...explode."

Exelar, staing at about sic feet, has shoulder-length brown hair. His eyes are an eerie amber color. Not eerie as in "bad", but an enchanting, illuminating eerie. His skin is fair and pale. He always wears thick clothing, as if he is always cold. In truth, due to his outsider heritage, he is resistant to some cold, but he likes to remain well-clothed. His voice is a sweet tenor and a sweeter falsetto, reaching notes into a high alto range. He carries around a flute and a lyre, made of oak and dragon-bone, respectively. The lyre is string with hairs of some obscure, and rare, monster. He is also a very superb dancer. Hs gold-hilted rapier appears translucent and his face-resembling mace is always on fire. His armor is light and concealed and his shield is small and has a tendency to block arrows it shouldn't.
"It's dangerous to go alone, Jerk-wads!" (Borderlands 2)
“All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!” (Portal 2)
Stepping through the portal, you find yourselves in a plain and rather boring dead-end, except for the fact that the exit is covered by a semi-translucent illusionary wall. Quite clearly, this has been set up as a sort of safe-house. The portal meanwhile vanishes once the last of you has come through.
As you look through your stuff and the bag Alicavniss has handed over to you, you find that she's been busy enchanting and enhancing your gear. It seems like she really wants you to succeed on this.
Throndon finds that his pack contains, among other things, a rather plain sword with an interesting enchantement: construct-bane. (+1)
Checking your packs as instructed, you do indeed find a map where your current location is marked, as well as that of the portal to the land of Black Blood.
The portal is not that far away, probably about fifteen minutes to half an hour's walk, but not so close that you need to worry about getting discovered right now.
The second parchment contains concise instructions on how to operate the portal, including the indication that you'll have to catch Tiryin as he has the key needed to open it. Otherwise, you'll have to find a different way to do so.
Lastly, the instructions on how to reach Haitan are quite simple: Follow the passage in which you arrive downward. You'll enter a great cave. Continue straight forward, you'll reach a temple surrounded by stone statues: this is Haitan's domain. P.S.She likes gems.
Without the pretense for hiding his identity anymore, Throndon is happy to call Duskclaw by his side. He spends several minutes reacquainting the griffon and eventually mounts him. It has been too long my friend. Don't worry - soon enough we'll be tasting the sunlight again.
Once settled in, Throndon waits patiently for the others before they are ready to proceed.
I'm a little confused - we're at a location with a dead end (which is also the portal we want to get through. To get through it though - we need to find Tiryin. What I don't know is what else we can see from here. Is it wide open above us? Are we in a building? etc

No, I believe we are in a "safe" room where we can rest and prepare spells afterwards. Then we have to travel about half an hour to the portal which is guarded by Tiryin and his minions. We need to defeat the minions and make sure Tiryin does not get away.
Does he need to be alive?
