you see David summon his familiar

it can be resummoned but it will take more of the apprentice's life energy

you are well aware that the robes provided to your apprentices provide no resistances of any sort.
not wanting to waste time on trivial matters, you provide the solution to your apprentices.

"Mehra, get out of the robe and freeze the webs. Edud can then break the web strands off"

Mehra: " . . . of course."

with her elven agility Mehra easily slips out of the robe, then castes her spell to freeze the web.

Edud with a critical strike from his table club shatters the web and robe.

Edud: "hey, I'm getting pretty good at this!"

Mehra: . . .

with the dilemma solved you turn your attention to more pressing matters: testing your apprentices knowledge of spells.

"Goldfist, time for a test: Can your disguise spell disguise you to one of the undead?"

Goldfist: "Yes!"

"but . . ."

Goldfist: "Oh right! disguise can but you have to choose the right type of trait to disguise!"

"and which trait would be the right one?"

Goldfist: "errrr yer heart beat?"

"close, your heat signal AND your heart beat."

Stanely: "oh! what is this little thing!"

David: "hey! don't touch my familiar!"

Viggo and Goldfist pass through the door

Viggo: what's going on here, why are you not venturing further?

Sabbitha: "there might be monsters in the next room, I'm not going in first."

There may be monsters in there, but probably nothing STANLY THE MANLY can't handle, especially with ranged backup from Mehra.

Right, have him lead but cover him from the back and have our other guys on his heels. He may have more health but we don't want to push that advantage too hard.

Stanley: "ha ha, little monsters do not frighten me!"

Stanley travels down the hall, Mehra catches up to provide cover.

Stanley: "no monsters here, you've been worrying for nothing"

That door has an arrow pointing towards it. We should go through the other one, since signs in trap-labyrinths are usually traps.

Look up. Always look up. The really nasty monsters always hide on the ceiling.

Stanley looks up, but sees nothing on the ceiling.

he travels to the next room.

It appears that Stanley's stumbled onto a band of elves, they seem vaguely familiar.

Time for everyone to move up. Let's get a look at those elves (other apprentices perhaps?) and talk to them. Hopefully we can parlay.

Mehra: "uncle Tiuret, what are you doing here?"

Elf: "hello Mehra it is good to see you are alive, but there is little time for idle chatter I need to speak to your master. is he here?"

"leave me servants."

your apprentices leave the room, leaving you alone with the elf

"You wish to speak to me?"

Elf: "I . . . I come bearing ill news of the hunt"

you now recall, these elves are more of your servants.

Elf: "I have failed you Master Toadsphere.despite my best efforts, Lellonar Barogought has escaped once again!"

so long as you always do all that you can, it is enough. one day Lellonar will make a mistake, and i can trust that you will be there to seize it.

"Do you know how he escaped? I can only assume you still have hunters attempting to track him now, but if he cannot be contained again it could lead to more misfortune. Show me to his former prison, and his escape route. My apprentices can only benefit from participating in the hunt."

you recall lellonar and his silly name, one of your former apprentices you believe.

"I see. Remind me of the recent events in your pursuit of him if you would. I have been rather preoccupied with guiding my apprentices recently."

Elf: "again I must ask forgiveness for this intrusion Lord Toadsphere, as you no doubt already know Barogought has been on the run for some time after murdering a number of your agents, and your friend King Tulose. Recently my scouts found what we believed to be his hide out, but there was a trap many of my best died that day but Barogought escaped and is on the move once more."

"Do you know how he escaped?"

Elf: "you told us he was a weak mage, but he must've improved since last you met, for he disapeared beyond the ability of my best trackers."

"I can only assume you still have hunters attempting to track him now, but if he cannot be contained again it could lead to more misfortune. Show me to his former Hide out, and his escape route. My apprentices can only benefit from participating in the hunt."

Elf: "you wish to attend this personally?"

Yes. He has evaded justice for long enough. What sort of trap did he lay for the last group to search for him?
