Peering across the darkness, the party could just make out the purple lantern carried by a drow paladin.
Ziff’s and Vellyne’s familiars spotted the drow paladin, a duergar warrior, and two Acolytes of Shar that had escaped earlier carefully approaching the entrance to Ator’s feet through a stand of huge flowing fungi.
Vellyne cast Invisibility on Lugdush before the huge orc warrior snuck across the rock bridge connecting the tunnel at Ator’s feet to the fungal forest.
The purple lantern’s aura of anti-magic dispelled Lugdush’s invisbility, causing the drow to stop short while the duergar turned invisible and fled.
A trio of drow hunters that had returned from an expedition across the glacier descended the tunnel and attacked the party from the opposite side.
The party quickly dispatched the drow, with Lugdush throwing the acolytes off the rock bridge. Anatol and Bryden traded blows with the drow paladin until ultimately beheading him.
Lugdush attempted to track the invisible duergar, pursuing him into the fungal forest. There, the orc warrior ran afoul of Bibberbang and Green Gibberer fungi, alternately taking fire and poison damage before finally giving up the pursuit.
The party returned to the main chamber and found that the drow hunters had left an unconscious goliath they’d captured on the chamber floor.
