Meeting the enemy

Still no word from Velrik or Imoen. Also no word from Athena. It seems everythings just falling apart, shredding around me. I miss Nic, and my mom, and Vel and Imo. and Ariel is hardly around. Raethis is worried about her and made me scry for her last night but I think she'll be fine. I still dont know what happened to my mother.

Anyhow I saw the Drow Matron today and she has Arric but wouldnt bargain for him so it looks like I need to mount a rescue. To that effect I climbed to the top of my tower and used a powerful spell to help me see beneath the earth so I could find an entrance to the underdark.

A friend of mine named Rena and she seems very nice. She agreed to go with me to rescue Arric so it looks like I need to start recruiting now. I went to Dragonshire in hopes of finding Erdrick, but no such luck. Instead I helped them put wards on the castle and that was kind of fun but it made me pretty tired. Carey came in and looked after me and I felt a bit better with her around so maybe things aren't too bad, though as I've said, exile sucks.
