The journey to the surface was uneventful. Suprisingly the map the matrons provided was accurate. I was told to expect some allies. Too bad most of them are males. There is one female that is good with a sword. I have found no priests or priestesses as yet. A mageling, a brute, a few orc and an arrogant toerag male of unknown skill other than shooting of his mouth. The female blade seemed to defer to him, which makes me wary of her intellect.
