Day 100, Year 542 of the Ascendancy

More exploration in the Devilish Passes today. This time I explored the
north-eastern corner of the passes with Mac-arena, Drue’Dreemi, and
Farb. The expedition went well enough, and I was able to add a few more
snells to my map. However, a sudden spawn of wurms and adders felled my
party, and I was the only one left standing. Farb had to leave, and
departed, but my other two party members needed rescuing, and it was
all up to me. I ran through the passes as fast as I could, and got some
rest whenever I got the chance. Finally, I made it out of the Passes,
but I could not return to the McBolie Caverns because of several Dark
Vermine and an Orga Berzerker. So I had to take the long way out, via
snells E5 and F5, and to my amazement, I made it.

Afterwards, I was able to get the aid of a Dark
Chamber party, and the powerful exiles cleared out the Passes with
ease. Drue’Dreemi and Mac-arena were quickly rescued, and we all made
our way out of the Devilish Passes. However, we decided to leave from a
different way than the way we entered, and this led to the discovery of
a cave filled with Arachne. Also, the healer J’nder got separated from
the rest of the party, and she reported seeing a river, before she
pendanted out of the Passes. The rest of us managed to make it out of
the Passes, but I was left with a desire to see more. Looks like I will
have to be re-visiting the Passes again, soon.
