Dwellers in the Underdark

Dwellers of the Underdark is the last of the adventures the company should have had to face. The Portal lies within the realm of the Azhur, a race of demonspawn into whose hands the questors are betrayed by their human hosts. The questors are split up so there seems to be little chance of communication or escape—till the services of a powerful sorceress are required to lift a curse placed on the Azhur Crown Prince. Mistra's idea of bartering her services for their freedom backfires when her friends are sold into slavery: their new masters, the Otapatua, are another subterranean race as horrible as the Azhur and amphibious to boot. When the Prince learns of the way Mistra's trust was betrayed, he goes with her to the Otapatua kingdom to secure her friends' release. They must work against time to free the captives and fathom the relationship of the chief Otapatuan nobles to one another and to the Priest-king who rules them (and to the Azhur) before the local earth goddess gets fed up with evil subterranean races and moves to destroy them.
