From the Journal of Hrogar

We've arrived at the temple that we were searching for, and it is defended by Drow. Drow who like to launch poisoned ballista bolts at you. So we tried to get out of the direct line of fire, and in doing so, Ragnarr ended up falling through a trap door and down into a chute. And then for reasons not entirely known to me, everyone else started jumping down the chute after him. Admittedly, I did want to make sure he wasn't injured, but jumping after him wasn't my first idea. But then the only ones left on top were me and Tupper. Me and TUPPER. So I didn't really have any choice at that point. I kicked Tupper down the chute and jumped in after him. There was no way I was going to try to drag his ass through the arrow assault.

Anyway, jumping down the chute ended up not as bad as it might have. We were able to help Ragnarr and no one died. So then we were able to get out of the pit of spiked we'd fallen in, but unfortunately in the process we alerted the Drow to where we were. We made it down to a tunnel, and eventually met some Drow (I did the courteous thing and offered to let them surrender. I know it wasn't likely but now when I have to start killing them they can't say I didn't give them any other options).

So we were lead away and put in a jail cell, but we were able to escape and found a hall with many other trapped entities. We allowed one of them out, a young girl with rocks floating around her, and she's been following us since. I'm not quite sure what to make of her, but we should help her if we can. We eventually made our way to an area which looked like an obvious trap, but with the help of the little girl AND HER ABILITY TO MELT WALLS WITH HER MIND we were able to get past it and meet up with some Drow who were doing paperwork. We fought them, having some trouble wearing down their cleric and mage, but eventually defeated them, with the mage putting up a rock-wall to cover his retreat and leaving his comrades to fend for themselves. Then the little girl made them "her friends" and they stopped seeming to have wills of their own. A strange little girl indeed.

We also met up with another person, someone apparently sent to assist us (or so she claims). Well, the more the merrier.
