Now that we have everyone back, let us move onward.
General Gaeus : But..
No.
Captain Brunch : The drow..
No.
Sleep-O : Slee...
Actually yes, that's a good point.
Captain Brunch : Well, she DID fight at our side, proving, that--
Great, can we go now?
Alaya : Don't interrupt the paladin, it is rude.
General Gaeus : But the elf isn't going to budge. She hates drow.
Well, she hates me too. As a matter of fact, i wonder who are the TWO people she actually likes. Speaking of which, where is the assassinette? Wasn't she locked with you, in the device? Where could she be?
Sleep-O : Hmm.. Sleep-O?
The drow stronghold? I don't think we have the time to visit it. But i bet the gnomes had some souvenirs from the city, that they will gladly part with. I mean, they parted with their limbs and---
Alaya : We could always try knocking, i assure you that the drow of Ust Natha will be most welcoming.
And by that, our beloved dark elf - who ages like milk, and not wine - means that the drow will want to enslave us for the rest of our lives, which will be surprisingly short in the hostile neighborhood that they would accommodate us in.
Captain Brunch : What is this place anyway..?


Some dragon's lair. Probably one old or cowardly enough to not even guard the hoard.
Alaya : Take the hoard and move on?
I doubt the dragon has acquired anything of value anyway. It wouldn't surprise even a dwarf, and 'tis the only chance that something as clumsy and ri--


Touche.

[Dr] marks lines that are spoken in Drow language. It's mostly for the sake of roleplaying... mostly. As in : Not at all.

..And so the only option is to visit the drow city. This way, i believe.


Do you mind moving at a significantly faster pace?
Brunch : Easy for you to say, you're the one protected by magic! We are the ones getting struck by dragon claws.
We covered that part already : I am going to shield all of you, that meet the following criteria : Female - That excludes you, Brunch, Gaeus and Sleep-O - and..
Alaya : Ha!
..and beautiful. I'm sorry, sunshine, but no protections for you either.
Alaya [Dr]: Are you still sore about the beating you took earlier?
I am not one to hold grudges against people.
Gaeus : Something is happening!


Drow Priestess that stands out from the others [Dr] : Who are you, scum?
[Dr] Haven't you answered your question already?
Drow Priestess [Dr] : Silence! You are facing the Matron Mother of the Great House Despana. You will speak with respect, and start by giving the Magnificent Mother Ardulece one good reason not to kill you. Merciful Mother Ardulence may then allow you to live, for another day.


[Dr] We are going to enter the drow city of Ust Natha, a bug-ridden sewer that is, and look for our captured drow-hating assassinette. Insignificant Mother Ardulence is not going to stop us from this task, we are far more powerful than Pathetic Mother Ardulence could imagine. Does the Weak-minded Mother Ardulence understand that, or shall i repeat it in Dwarven?
Alaya [Dr] : Your diplomatic skills never cease to amaze me.
Drow Priestess : (Something about attacking the party.. yada yada.)
...

Ahh, here we are. I imagined it to be somewhat.. Bigger.
Alaya : Very interesting choice of words.
What does that here say..?


Alaya : *cough*

Alaya : You could understand this, even though it's in drow AND you've spoken with the silly drow at the bridge.

Aye.

Alaya : Doesn't it mean, that you knew exactly what you were doing, when you released me..?

Your grasp of the obvious is most impressive.

Alaya : Now, i'm going to ask you "Why"

And i will answer it with a smile, walking all over your authority.
Brunch : Why are you smiling, friend?
Because it's a wonderful day, and we are rescuing our beloved friend and companion from the claws of the evil dr--
Alaya : Because he is avoiding a question. You see, he released me knowing full well, th--
Drow [Dr] : HALT!
[Dr] Thank the gods for your timely arrival.


He will not listen to me, the foul peon.
Alaya [Dr] : Let me handle this.
Very we-- Oh-- Oh! OH MY! SWEET MOTHER O-- Meh, i've had worse..


Nicely done, surely nothing can go wrong!
Alaya : Tut-tut. You may now kiss my boot.
But it's bloody from all the drow we stomped on.
Brunch : I did not understand a word the guard have said, can we enter the city?
Naturally, and there will be a red carpet waiting for us, with fun and games behind each corner.
[Dr] I mean, honestly, my sweet, you could have at least negotiated some balloons. I like red ones.

Alaya : We have only a few minutes, before this place turns into hell, i suggest moving as quickly as possible to get the druid, and-- What are you..?
I want to see what happens!
Alaya : WE DON'T HAV--
But MOOOOOM!
Alaya [Dr] : You will die a slow, and painful death.
[Dr] No, i don't plan on dying during intercourse with you.


Alaya [Dr]: We should find a place to rest as soon as we  get the druid, i have to remind you a thing or two.
[Dr] But i have a headache.


Alaya [Dr] : Again? If i didn't know you better, i'd say, that you're trying to avoid the inevitable.
[Dr] I'm doing the best i can! I'm not a chunk of meat! I have feelings too!.


Alaya [Dr] : Very well, i'll sleep with the unwashed barbarian in that case
[Dr] Finally your bar is on the right height.


Alaya [Dr] : It was low ever since..
[Dr] Tsk! I want to see how it ends.


Ahh, motherly love.


Brunch : She was..
Yes.
Alaya : Should i act disgusted and outraged?
It's very kind of you to ask. I am sure Brunch will be grateful.
Brunch : ..My very own order turned out to be the same. I feel no hatred towards the drow. Not stronger than the rest of corrupted Faerun races.
He turned out a bit more homicidal than i expected.

Alaya : I took care of his thoughts, during the month we had to ourselves in the astral prison

I'm still not kissing that damn boot.

Alaya : We have time..

Gaeus : Over there! Another interesting turn of events!
Very good! You shall be our spotter from now on!
Sleep-O : Sleep-O!
Yes, They appear to be torturing tha Djinn!


They keep healing any wounds that they inflict, and so the Djinn's agony will not be ended by the sweet release of death.


There is only one way to act, based on ALL of our previous dealings with the Djinn. Ready?
Alaya : Go for it.
Sleep-O : Sleep-O


Alaya : Now we really need to move, i can hear the drow already closing in.
One more stop, i want a pet.
Brunch : A pet is a great responsibility, you have to feed it, pet it, take it o--
Oh, not the one i have in mind.


[Dr] Yes, i wish to buy the ugliest, most deformed creature that you have in stock. I wish all my foes to die from vomiting their intestines out, the second they face it.
I think i already see the monstrosity that i wish to purchase. Sweet heavens. It's hideous. It's staring into my soul!
Drow Trader [Dr] : You mean the..
[Dr] : Aye, this one..


Monks [Dr] : I.am.going.to.murder.you.
[Dr] I can't hear you, my freedom IS TOO DAMN LOUD!
Alaya [Dr] : Ohh, how i love reunions.

CH4 P6 "Götterdämmerung : The Siege of Ust Natha" Boss Fight

Spoiler: Tech Info about the fight (click to show/hide)

You have seen it already, i am sure of it, as the video is quite old now. But for continuity sake we have to post it again right now. This fight was the bane of our Let's Play, as it took me weeks to get it to work with fraps enabled. Even then, i've had quite a few crashes during recording, and so i lost track of time lost on it.

What can be said about this encounter? You face 200 enemies that have enormous magic resistance and amazingly good armor class and thac0 (thanks to drow equipment being the best possible basic gear)
The fight is meant to be "virtually impossible", and you are supposed to fail. That is, of course, on core difficulty.

What better fight to pick during an Insane, Ironman playthrough?
We outlevel the fight by 3 to 5 levels, but we are not using level 9 mage spells to balance it out. No matter what the situation is going to be. If people die permanently, due to me holding on on level 9 spells, so be it.

This is only a pseudo-update, that adds the already shown fight in the correct moment of the LP. Had to be done, for continuity sake.

Monks : WHY IS SHE HERE?!
Because she's not somewhere else.
Brunch : Uhh.. This will not help things..
What exactly do you expect me to do? Throw her out, despite all the help..
Monks : The drow kidnapped us, and held me here, among.. trolls..
Must've been pleasant, but..
Alaya : We should really get going..
Gaeus : Aye, this place will turn into hell, in a matter of moments.
Monks : No. We're going to stay and fight, i want to spill blood. DROW blood!
Gaeus : This is CRAZY!
Brunch : Impossible!
Alaya : Silly girl, what you ask...
Sleep-O : 'tis difficult, we run.
Let's see, we have Gaeus, Brunch, Alaya and Sleep-O voting for running away from the city. Monks votes for staying and fighting.. Our party is only acting as one, that cares about voting, and so the final decision is mine. We fight.

Alaya : What are you doing..?
