Episode 104

## Recap

* Everyone except Barkley (who is still in the water) watches as the elevator falls. Barkley briefly examines the sword she'd pulled out from the water, the vibes of which are terrible. It's a rapier-like blade with runes etched in red that pulse. There's a slight whispering coming from it, although she can't discern what it's saying or in what language. Obviously creeped out, Barkley doesn't spend much time attempting to get a read on the sword any further than necessary.
* Godfrey runs to the edge of the elevator shaft and flies off the edge. Everyone panics. Lucius grabs Olivia from also falling off, attempting to go after Vahlka. Barkley summons her amphithere, flies over, and deposits the clearly very evil sword in the bag of holding.
* Vahlka attempts to crawl on the top of the elevator, attempting to wedge her sword in the side to slow their descent down as much as possible. Unfortunately, the sword just cuts through the metal and doesn't have much of the intended purpose other than offset its balance. Osyna finally gains her bearings after being sliced in the face multiple times.
* Vahlka tries to widen the gap in the ceiling with her sword, which succeeds, but is quickly harassed by Osyna blocking the way. Vahlka makes a run for the gap instead, ascending the vampire, but the two match each other's reactions and are slammed back into the opposite side of the elevator. Vahlka tries again, but Osyna grabs her cape and stops her from going further.
* Vahlka, sensing that Osyna wants to keep her in the elevator, does everything in her power to destroy the vampire instead of trying to escape. She readies the sunlight beads in her possession, intending to let them off once she sees the ground.
* The end is nigh. Vahlka makes an impassioned speech, kicking Osyna in the teeth and breaks one of her fangs breaks off. One last attempt is made to go through the hole and throw down a sunlight bead, but Vahlka is pinned and is unsuccessful to get out. The elevator collides with the ground.
* The rest of the party hears a massive, metallic crack, along with a brief spark of light. The bloody wreckage hisses an odd steam for a moment before it dissipates entirely.
* Godfrey is the first person on the ground, having been the first person to leave. Behind him stands about twenty drow, most of which look like basic foot soldiers. They have weapons drawn, but look like they're waiting for orders instead of outright attacking. Godfrey tries to convince them that they were accompanying Osyna and the elevator fell, trapping someone inside. Everyone else is sorting through the wreckage looking for Vahlka.
* Godfrey uses telekinesis to move most of the metal around and after a while are able to recover the deceased body of their friend, although her condition due to the trauma of landing leaves much to be desired.
* A drow man steps forward. A captain, which considering what the party knows about drow society, is rather odd. He demands that they tell him what happened and Godfrey begins to lie again, but is interrupted when the captain re-iterates he wants to be told the truth.
