Out of the Abyss

It is just past midnight when the metal door sliders open and two figures are thrown into the room.

A Human and a Rock Gnome find themselves in the slaves pen of the Drow, as the door slides shut behind them. Each of them then realize that they are naked except for some cloth to cover their private parts, their hands cuffed by metal Manacles, linked to a Metal Collar around their necks, making it harder to catch their breath in an already stuffy room to begin with.  

As they get on their feet, they understand they are not alone in the room, and before long a female Mountain Dwarf named Eldeth Feldrun greets them. It is the first kind face they see in this murky room, quite the suspicious occasion it seems to them. 

Scouting the room they find quite the colorful bunch around them, but it won't take long before they understand not all the faces around are friendly. Talking to the other slaves they gather information about their situation, and together Smar Tooth and Michael Angelo decide they should make an escape plan, before they are taken by the Drow to be sacrificed.

After gathering as much information as they can, they decide they should get some rest. A couple hours passed and they are woken up by the loud knocking on the metal door of the slaves pen. "Get in line!" a voice says, and everyone in the room quickly gather. The door opens, and the Drow Priestess of Lolth followed by two of her Drow guards enter the room. 

They assign pairs of slaves into various jobs around Velkynvelve, from cleaning the Priestess's chambers to cleaning the Quaggoth shit, all dirty jobs made specifically for slaves. They are escorted by a guard to their job and soon they realize how cruel the Drow can be. Soon after they started their jobs, both Michael Angelo and Smar Tooth are beaten unconscious by the Drow for messing around their jobs, barely holding on to their lives. 

Waking up in the slaves pen again, they are warned by the Drow Priestess of Lolth that they will obey, or they will die.  She is not kidding around, and this place is more ruthless than they could have imagined. They must be smart in order to find their way out. The night comes and they keep on gathering information, preparing themselves to their grand escape. Making alliances with the other inmates they make sure they will have the power needed to get out of a sticky situation.

The next day comes, and they are lined again. Smar Tooth and Michael Angelo decide to place themselves in the end of the line, making sure they are sent to a mission together. It worked and they are assigned to laundry duty, a prime opportunity to gather information about the forces placed in Velkynvelve. They take the chance and make a risky maneuver to grab some items from the Drow that might be used as improvised weapons for when the time comes to make their move. The risky maneuver did pay off but not without retaliation by the Drow who quickly beats Smar Tooth unconscious yet again, spared only by the faked obedience of Michael Angelo.

New faces starts to appear in the slaves pen, each of them have no particular recollection of how they ended up in the Velkynvelve 11 - Slave Pen. Yet all of them will soon learn to understand what it is like in here. One of them, Pal Adin was brought in sick and was left in an isolated location, away from the other prisoners. Other colorful faces did make their way into this grim of a situation, Arhi, Bar de bard and Shovit were brought into the slaves pen, where they met with Smar Tooth and Michael Angelo who were already there and of course the other prisoners. After a couple days of slavery they all felt like doing something to get out of there and started cracking their brains into finding a way out. Little did they notice how everyone around them started to get into their beds and as the guards came they found themselves in trouble.

Bar de bard, Arhi and Michael Angelo were taken to the silken bridge where they were accused of planning their escape, and were given an opportunity to lie through their teeth and get out of the situation. Little did they know as each of them spelled their own fate, as it was first Michael Angelo who said "We were talking since there is nothing else to do here". Bar de bard said "We just tried to make it more pleasant in here". While Arhi said (and translated by Bar de bard) that she needs bandages to deal with her period.

The guards then sent them back into the slaves pen to sleep, as the guards were laughing. When they were woken up, the three troublemakers were assigned special tasks instead of the regular ones. Arhi was sent to the mistress Ilvara so she could take care of her period, while Bar de bard and Michael Angelo were taken to the western area. Bar de bard was ordered to lie down, as he asked for something pleasant, while Michael Angelo who asked for something else was ordered to bury his new-found friend alive, using the somewhat large stones lying around there and they were left alone for the task. Thinking hard to two of them came with a way around the situation. Michael Angelo carefully placed the stones in a manner that will not crush Bar de bard as each was supporting the weight of the ones above her. But they did not stop there, and used the sculpting skills of Michael Angelo to create a giant-spider made of stone, under which Bar de bard was lying. 

While all of this was happening, Arhi who was taken to Ilvara, could not imagine in what way she will deal with her period. As Ilvara raised her Tentacle Rod and beat Arhi repeatedly all day long until she lost her period problems along with her womb.

As the working time came to and end, a guards came in checking on Michael Angelo and Bar de bard, shaken by the sight of a giant spider made of stone, he ran back to Ilvara saying nothing. She was brought to them and questioned their intentions, as Michael Angelo explained it was his best attempt in replicating the Lolth shrine statues. She took a liking to the statue and ordered to keep it as it is. They relieved Bar de bard from underneath it, and he was taken back to the slaves pen while Michael Angelo was taken to Ilvara's chambers and ordered to clean Arhi's blood from the carpet so he could stay there instead of in the slaves pen. Unable to resist Ilvara as to not incur her wrath, he cleaned the blood and witnessed Shoor and Ilvara playing footsie behind him. After that Shoor sent him back to the slaves pen saying he could never stay in Ilvara's chambers.

And so another day ended in  Velkynvelve 11 - Slave Pen.

Another day in Velkynvelve and the group has yet to find their way out of the slave's pen. Pal Adin has now joined the group, as he is out of bed-rest , if you can call being beaten all day long bed rest. The next day of work is upon us, and the group is again paired into jobs. 

Pal Adin, Arhi, Bar de bard and Ront are sent to take down the Spider Statue created by Michael Angelo. But when they got there, they started discussing escape plans as things didn't exactly go as planned. So Pal Adin picked up Ront and threw him into the statue breaking it and burying Ront in the wreckage. Bar de bard decided to take Ront's d**k as a trophy. 

Meanwhile in the Velkynvelve 12 - Quaggoth Den were Shovit, Michael Angelo and Buppido, also discussing escape plans as Buppido then stated he could kill a single Quaggoth, and all he needs is that we come there when there is only one Quaggoth in the den.

The workday ended and the group headed back to the slaves pen and shared what has happened with the rest of the group, until it was time to sleep. The next day came and they headed back into work.

Michael Angelo finds himself with Pal Adin in the Velkynvelve 12 - Quaggoth Den cleaning their poop as they try to figure out a way out of the situation. They notice the guards that are stationed behind them are not really paying attention, and are standing just by the cliff and so they decide to try something risky. Pal Adin hides in the shadows as Michael Angelo enrages the single Quaggoth who's awake into chasing Michael Angelo. He then runs and ducks right next to the guards. The Quaggoth is closing in and just as he is about to reap Michael Angelo apart, Pal Adin pushes him into the guards and he falls into the water with a single guard. Before the second guard even fully grasps the situation, Michael Angelo pushes him off the cliff as well, thus they narrowed the available manpower in Velkynvelve, but it is not over until Pal Adin is able to convince the guard to believe them that it was just an accident, and they are sent back to the Velkynvelve 11 - Slave Pen.

On the other side of Velkynvelve, Bar de bard is stationed by the elevator as he decides to sneak into the guard's post nearby. He starts going through the chests while the guard who was meditating in the room awakens. The guard then pull his sword on Bar de bard who tries to throw poison vials at him but misses twice before he is knocked unconscious and brought to Ilvara, who provides him with the option to give his life or sacrifice either Michael Angelo or Pal Adin who were there when the guards died. Bar de bard refuses to decide and instead says "just not that" so Ilvara in her viciousness takes his eyes instead of killing him, and throws him into the slaves pen.

As the working hours end, the group meet again in the slaves pen, but it was not over yet as Ilvara comes in, demanding blood to pay for the guards who died today and tasks the group to name their sacrifice, whoever they choose she will kill, she then states that Michael Angelo is safe and they cannot choose him.

She then leaves them to think and when she comes back, she started taking votes, but when Jimjar points at Turvy, Topsy snaps and jumps him, she kills him effortlessly and throws his body, telling Ilvara this is the sacrifice she demanded. Ilvara then leaves and the group finds out Topsy and Turvy are actually Wererats, which is why they were cast out of their city.

Thus the group finishes another day, mourning their losses who may prove fatal to their escape plans.
