D&D Dark Places

D&D Dark Places

Time passes differently in the underdark. The drug from the capture made me foggy. The cell was a  small cave with a large metal gate. Opposite it was some strange drow tower with guards and a huge mounted crossbow trained on it at all times.
There were so many strange creatures I had never seen before, and some I recognised such as the loud elf and a quiet one and a courageous and very angry halfling. There was a female dwarf as well as a princesses who was a strange hairy beast who did not stop crying.
They had taken my clothes and other belonging, save my Goddess symbol as they could not bear to touch it.
As the gates opened and another body was tossed into our cell the halfling, Jock began to abuse the drow the other side of the gate. He did some curious magick on Jock's underwear causing it to glow and twinkle, enraging him even more.
The man thrown in seemed to wake me to myself and I knew in my bones I would escape. The flamboyant elf proclaimed he would escape and I believed he could.
Two large hairy beasts patrolled outside our cell and I saw a way to distract the guards. I began to pray to reach towards that light within and draw forth that magick. I reached out to one of the beasts and gave it a single command.
"Attack" as I pointed to the drow stationed at the crossbow. The other elf, a wizard followed my lead and commanded the second creature to do the same. Defopp, began to pick the lock and suddenly we were free. The dwarf was off and running, then Jock, then the Bowman and myself, then wizard and the princess. We managed to grab some simple weapons and some of the sleep drug they tip their weapons in.
I don't think I yet fully understand what happened next. Jock burst into a room of sleeping and resting guards. Vicious fighting broke out. I saw the still sleeping guard and I struck him with my make shift staff while apologising. I sent a healing word to Jock who was in danger of losing an eye. I went further into the room and drew the distraught princess with me. I regained my things from a chest at the back of the room and I put up a shield of faith to protect myself and this sad creature. There I stayed for a while with the noise of more guards and fighting.
I then saw the female dwarf standing badly wounded and I knew that I had to help. I dropped the shield and made my way to the dwarf who refused my healing and I saw such a sight. Jock who had been riding a giant spider fell and many drow were attempting to enter the room.
I raised my staff above my head and touch my holy symbol. I radiated pure celestial light. It seemed to burn them. One of the drow turned to ash. All the other's were blinded and in pain.
The great beasts under my command and that of the wizard were still attacking drow.
The last drow fled. Leaving us again in silence.
I know not what will happen next.
