Such things are not readibly available, and doubtless the amount of material you guys are bringing back will be a (pleasant) shock. You guys have heard rumors that some drow weapons and materials often melt some time period after being exposed to sunlight, but Aliac says those were a different type of material. Also, you've heard drow usually suffer some effects from bright light, but these drow did not seem adversely effected. Something you guys are noticing within a few miles of the river & bridge is the increasing amount of very strange plant life, and lots of dead animals lying on the ground with an occasional deformities. The druid and ranger assure it that as far as they know, it is not normal. Near the river, you think the sun might be a bit dimmer, but it is hard to tell. Maybe it is just a cloudy day. You are also all feeling a little sick ... not effect to impact game statistics, maybe it is just a coincidence, or something in the food. avi s ----- "There are only two kinds of math books.
