First Skyndrar Venture into the Underdark

This was the first time that any Skýndrar, or possibly any surface-dwellers, ventured into the Underdark. It took place on 24th Nightal -1779.
Some of the Crew of the Klemmuvængválf left from Pszczow, investigating a sinkhole, and ventured down into the dark below. They were Haelyn, Richard Dread, Hallbjorn Ulfsson, and Haengur Hamarsson. They delved through the chilling darkness, now carrying Kron de'Zephyn's Goldlock Chest. They fought and bested a group of Sylyntyri drowic smugglers/slavers, led by a cruel and savage sawbones. The slavers used the darkness to their advantage, jumping from the shadows and crawling from the gloom.
After besting the slavers, the group freed a captive Tbikhlan woman, but then spotted a horrific gibbering mouther slomping on several dead drow. Haelyn, in the form of a snake, tried to approach it as it tried to entice her with a dissolving rat, but it then chomped her unconscious in one blow. The mouther gave chase as Richard and Hallbjorn weakened it, but it left Ham stuck in its doughlike rock aura. As it rolled away, and Haelyn stumbled away miraculously up, Ham was encased in solid rock and died a horrible death. Haelyn, blinded by the mouther's spittle, stabbed the now-freed captive woman, then ran headfirst into the mouther, where she was instantly absorbed and semi-digested. Richard and Hallbjorn managed to kill the mouther, but at great cost. Three innocent people had died, and they found some of the latter two's remains within the pus and sacs of the mouther's corpse. They also found one key for the chest in the tunnels, and continued on to Sylyntyr.
It was, well, harrowing.
