Is She Dead Yet?
Just to be sure, after the Mother's staked the vampire-drow-cleric, they cut off her head, blessed some rations and stuffed the head's mouth with them. Only then did they set about searching for treasure. Apart from the items obtained from her body, they found a scroll tube with a map of a route between Szith Morcane and the drow city of Maerimydra and a letter from "Mother" to "Daughter" indicating that raids should be carried out for the glory of the White Banshee amongst other things. The "Greater Revenance" spell that the Mother was working on seemed somewhat worrying. Small coffers in her final resting place also contained coins and magical items that were scooped up by the victorious heroes. They also looted a lyre and a chess set on their way back through the chambers. The party decided to head straight back to their apartments in Arabel, so Fonesca and Siosiann cast teleport and soon Kurtalla was re-acquainting himself with his bear.
The Mothers reported to the Lord High Seneschal, giving him news of the potential threat from Maerimydra. He was understandably keen for them to return to the underdark to help thwart whatever plans were afoot. Gaspode, meanwhile had more mercantile concerns.
