    Ultimately the stairs ended somewhere in the slave pens, where Kirzen took the lead. Few knew the entire extent of this maze of tunnels and pits and dungeons and cells. As Mistress of slaves, the Tithe Taker spent much time here and was very familiar with the vast majority of the complex. She led them through many dark passages for over an hour before they reached a cavern where the slaves and supplies were assembled. She went to inspect the slaves, chained in double file behind a pair of riding lizards.

    Frixal moved swiftly over to the contingent of guards, a score of male fighters and one female. She addressed the female directly, and together they hand picked a few male soldiers for the forward detachment. The female fighter then took her position in the rear, walking among the pack lizards behind the slaves, as the caravan prepared to move.

    Frixal returned with a trio of male fighters to join Lomni and Xinth in the vanguard.

    Zif mounted the other riding lizard at the hand signal from Kirzen.

    Thus they descended the primary tunnel leading from the slave pens. Well guarded, and with several tunnels and few shafts branching off, here they saw some of the fierce demons and other monsters enslaved by House Min’Doan to bolster the warded way. Several powerful Glyphs were safely passed as Kirzen authorized passage through them.

    As they approached, a quasit appeared at the main door that sealed this passage from the wild tunnels beyond. Squealing with demonic delight it fluttered around above the vanguard group and spoke in Undercommon, “Greetings, I am Jod. Mistress Dorza, dread Demonseed of House Min’Doan, commands that I aid you in all things where possible.”

    Frixal smiled and exclaimed with obvious sarcasm and feigned excitement, “How delightful Jod! You may scout ahead, and make sure any potential enemy sees you first!”

    She caressed her whip handle and glared at the little demon, lowering her voice to a serious tone, “Obey properly and escape oblivion, much preferable to any death you are likely to suffer, I would think.”

    Jod's eyes widened in fear as he bowed in midair, "Aye Mistress Frixal!"

    Frixal nodded to Lomni and Xinth, then exchanged places with Zif, taking the other riding lizard as the door opened.

    The Master Illusionist joined his brothers and the trio of commoner fighters to lead the way on foot into the wilderness of the Underdark.

    Any special preps prior to leaving? Spells, etc? Supplies are provided, for now, and each of you has sufficient sustenance.
