Falling for you [updated]

Pursuing the Drow deeper into the mountain, the party heads out of the dragon's room and into another trapped hallway. Kongu springs the trap and the next room reveals the Drow are a truly treacherous lot. Face down on the ground, a Drow, apparently killed by one of his own. The room is searched. On the body, Nesta finds a strange note. The rumbling in the distance turns out to be the collapsing ceiling. The Drow have ended the party's pursuit.

Returning to the beach in the mountain pass, the party follows and ancient road through the mountains along the coastline. Strange events plague the party during the evenings on the road. Shadows in the evening, birds staked out on wooden crosses, and human skulls being flung from darkness above, all events that harass the party.

On the road the party encounters two groups of gargoyles with odd markings. The first the party defeats with relative ease. The second is championed by a viscous brute that gives Rudopho a run for his money. The brute and his crew manage to bump a couple of party members over the edge of the cliff into the water below. The Vin and Kongu fight to the end, as Vin crumples a bit.

The party has two more days on this trecherous trail.
