The PC's have been travelling all over faerun looking for a comrade who has been missing for three years now. So far the PC's have been on a scavenger hunt all over faerun finding letters from their comrade left that contain directions to where the next letter is (the missing comrade basically left a trail of bread crumbs), and this 'scavenger hunt' has led them to the Drow city of Sshamath. Before arriving in the city however, they've been captured by a drow patrol. Unknown to the PC's however, one of their drow captors is actually their comrade, however, he isn't letting on that he recognizes them for fear of being labelled a traitor by his drow comrades so he's playing along. . . . . . . . . . now what. . . . this is where I'm stumped and would like to throw in some clever plot twist. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it
