The priestess Lusche is a servant of Arosi, the goddess
of poisons and intoxication, the only goddess to be
worshipped by elves and drow alike. Lusche has
fallen from favour among the drow following excessive
wantonness and rumours that she had seduced novices
who were meant to be dedicated to the drow deity She.
While the drow do not frown upon such activities per
se, taking that which rightfully belongs to the main
goddess of the race is a serious offence. Lusche’s face
was partially burned off with acid as a warning; she now
wears a full-face mask fashioned from bright silver.
On this mission, she has been sent purely as a magical
support agent, to make sure Zerabin and Quan’la are
well looked after. This assignment is her last chance to
regain favour with her House. Unfortunately for her,
the monotony and the dismal surroundings are driving
her steadily out of her mind. She has been forced to
cause trouble to liven things up; it is only a matter of
time before she offends Bastirak or pushes Zerabin’s
patience too far. Zerabin has respect for her status as a
priestess, and so has tried to keep her out of mischief,
but he is beginning to think that he would be serving his
own goddess better by abandoning Lusche to her fate.

This young, skinny drow is Zerabin’s squire, catamite
and adoring servant. Lusche finds his devotion to
Zerabin, and complete lack of interest in her, intolerable.
She had hoped to seduce him on this long trip into the
desolate wilderness but, for obvious reasons, has been
completely unsuccessful. Quan’la has the formal role of
scout and the informal role of spy. He has been brought
along in case the group needs to investigate Bastirak’s
rooms or possessions without his knowledge.
