Through the UnderWorld
From Ardrana
This mission saw Lady Allegra Brownstoke attempting to find the key to her book via a passage into an ancient Dwarven ruin through the UnderWorld. She traveled to Mentoncha along with her associate, Ashton Warrendale, her personal bodyguard, Duncan Scorpio, and the magical tracker Sevreen StormWatch, who had entered her employment after her last attempt. Also accompanying her was another servant, Josephine, who was both her personal chef and a healer, along with her assistant, Chuck.
While in Mentoncha, Allegra hired another guard, Burt, a Halfling rogue named Niccolo de'Medici, and a Lastini bard named Diosa. Also, after having had good advice from Sendorias on her previous mission, she hired a Svirfneblin guide named Qeelee, hoping to use the entrance to the UnderWorld beneath the Thair Mountains.
After setting out from Mentoncha, the first attempt was a failure. The party retreated to Sigil, where they recruited some reinforcements in hopes of increasing their odds of success. They learned that there was a Red Dragon Inn located in the UnderWorld, and were able to use the RDI's transportation system to travel there. Once in Sigil, they bolstered their crew with Malaba, a magical scholar; Tempest PlaneWalker, a half-demon with knowledge of the UnderWorld; Oscar, a battle-loving barbarian, and a mysterious priest who called himself The Cardinal.
Upon returning to the UnderWorld, they encountered a caravan led by a flind, but after a short encounter they were allowed to pass. Later, they were briefly captured by a mixed settlement of humanoids, but were able to escape, taking with them two prisoners, a Dwarf and a pech. From there, they passed through a cave filled with cloakers, only to be turned back again by the Deepearth Lake. At that point, Allegra abandoned the mission.
