Year 1001 of the 4th Era - Summer
Our heroes travel into the Underdark, finally reaching a cave-in. There, a group of Illithids are commanding slaves to open a passage. Rudd is one of the slaves.
The group takes care of the Mind-flayers, and liberating Rudd. As they proceed into the Underdark, they arrive at Manzessine. There, they foght the Flesh Golems guarding the entrance, and their Illithid master. the encounter leaves them wounded, so they decide to retire and come back after rest.
As they come back, they notice that the portcullis is open, and something is amiss. They enter to find the place a battlefield, as former illithid guards hide and look for defensible places.
The heroes dig deeper into the prison, and confront more golems, illithids, and an Eleven-headed Criohydra, who unfortunately kills Garreth, Gully's henchman (Garreth will eventually be raised bu Gully's powerful magic).
They meet a mind-flayer prisoner, now free, who reveals them that the prison was under riot, and all the prisoner had escaped. Apparently, the heroes' disturbance had given the right opportunity to the inmates to act on their escape plan.
Our heroes eentually reach the main holding zone, where they find all the cells empty, except for one. In it, they find an old, sick man, on the bring of starvation. As he notices them, a whisper escapes his mouth "Sword... give me a sword..."
Rudd recognizes his ancient teacher, the Master of Nine, the supreme adept of the Sublime Way. They revive the old man and make their way out of the hoding cells. Still, the Master informs them they they need to find his sword, the Diamond Mind.
After fighting their way through more guardians, the heroes enter the elite armory of Manzessine, and there they recover the ancient weapon, a long blade made of a green adamantine alloy.
With these, they finally escape the prison, and make their way to reach the world above.
