PCs are dropped through a teleportation circle into the Dark Dominion.

1. PCs make it through high stakes stealth checks on Ferox’s guidance → Make their way to Donigarten. Vel finds Druidic message near the Mushroom Grove leading them to a rebel base.
   • Use “The Dark Dominion”.
   • Use “Donigarten”.
   • Druidic Message: Wkhuh lv d edvh vdih iru wkrvh ri doo udfhv orfdwhg rq wkh erughu ri Wkh Eudhubq, gxh Hdvw ri wklv phvvdjh. Uhphpehu, wr zdon dsduw iurp Krxvh dqg Txhhq lv wr zdon lqwr wkh judyh. (Caesar cipher, 3 letter shift, translates to “There is a base safe for those of all races located on the border of The Braeryn, due East of this message. Remember, to walk apart from House and Queen is to walk into the grave.”
   • The message leads to a graveyard on the border of the Braeryn, right outside and to the left of the main gate.
2. PCs are caught by drow scouts and talk their way out → Taken to outpost where Neerlin is stationed. Smuggled to rebel base by him.
   • Use “Prisoners of the Drow”.
3. PCs are caught by drow scouts and engage in combat → Teleported to safety at the last second, too soon, causing it to be faulty and drop them out of Vuzfryn’s base.
   • PCs figure out how to land safely → Drop into Eastmyr where a magic user gathers them and gets them back to base.
   • PCs don’t figure out how to land safely → Teleported last second again into Vuzfryn’s base, sending Malwen into a flare.

Players meet Vuzfryn, Malwen, and Vierna at the base.

• Vierna figures out Ferox’s identity and is furious. Conflict with Irrbryn over her knowing and her leaving Pillanyl in the same manner.
• Irrbryn comes in part of the way through, causing the characters to realize her alignment with the rebel group.

2. Characters don’t want to help → Boss Fight and then Test, Enemies, Allies
   • Characters attempt to leave Menzoberranzan, get caught leaving and starting Boss Fight.
