The prison break has collapsed into disaster.
Most of the party lies dead or dying in the cold stone halls of Velkynvelve.
With escape fading and death closing in, the last survivors face an impossible choice. In a raw, emotionally charged moment filled with heavy table talk, Vaelan - a Drow Cleric devoted to Selvetarm - makes a desperate bargain with his ruthless god.
A pact is struck.
Lives are spared… but at a terrible price.
Now bound as Minions to the Champion of Lolth, the survivors must find a way to keep the campaign alive in a world that wants them broken and obedient.
This episode is packed with intense above-table conversation, high-stakes drama, and a game-changing decision that shifts the entire story.
If you love D&D where characters make dark, soul-altering deals and the campaign takes bold, unexpected turns, this one is electric.
