Editing Brightstone Heroes (section)

===A Worthy Task===

A few weeks later, an elven messenger arrived at the gates with urgent news. She explained to the heroes that the [[Winter's Gate]], the door of Lolth's prison, was set with five seals. These five seals were the focal point of the magic spell sealing her and the drow in the valley of [[Doth'Mordun]]. In her pack were the remains of one of the seals, which she had been sent to Brightstone with as soon as it cracked and fell. She later learned that a second seal had been destroyed while she was traveling. She told the heroes it was imperative that they travel to the elven land of [[Lorius]] to plan the next move, and then died, victim of an ambush she barely escaped shortly before her arrival.

Not wasting any time, the heroes returned once more to [[Stark]] and hired a ship to take them to Lorius. Along the way, they came upon another ship that had been attacked and investigated. They found that all aboard had been brutally slaughtered, with the only survivor a young and frightened half-elf girl. After calming her down, they took her back to their own ship and burned the damaged vessel. The girl quickly took a liking to Arenil, and he soon found himself returning her affections. Three days later, alone in his cabin, she kissed him... And revealed her true nature as a succubus. While the others were busy on the deck battling a trio of vrock demons she had summoned, she drained Arenil's life force and appeared topside just long enough to gloat before teleporting away. While Leardon was able to restore Arenil to life, he found that he could no longer wield magic and decided to return home once they reached Lorius.

After docking, the heroes were led deep into the forest to the [[Great Scar]]. Their guides vanished, and a mysterious elf appeared to explain that this stretch of woods that had been blighted by [[Lolth]] during the [[Elf Wars]] three thousand years ago, and had still not fully healed. During the course of their conversation, the elf revealed that he was [[Corellon Larethian]] himself, and that in light of their earlier recovery of one of the keys to Lolth's prison, he wanted them to find and secure the remaining keys. The first step was to send the party to Winter's Gate to rendezvous with the guardians who stood watch there. As the forces seeking to free Lolth from her prison would be watching for divine magics, Corellon had one of his wizards perform the teleportation spell. He also called upon a human monk named [[Shin]] to aid them in their quest, before the wizard teleported them away.
