Drablak sent TMN the following report:

"Last Monday, PTF accomplished quite an exploit. With the help of a few other exiles, PTF took control of the Pitch Noids Cave, thanks to a successful strategy laid out by Yor and Natas.

"We made it to the entrance to the cave in a record 45 minutes, thanks to Zorton, and then had a smooth stroll through Dredwood, the Orga Stronghold, then the Malachite Lair, and then proceeded to enter the cave. After an initial run that failed, we tried a second time to zu the noids away from the entrance, and this time we succeeded.

"With our healers rodding the sticky webs thrown by the noids, we took on the critters one by one, and when we could we made chain runs to gather our fallen comrades.

"Although the noids threatened us a few times, we were always able to re-establish our position, and we never had to retreat from the cave. After only 2.5 hours, a score of exiles stood in the middle of the pitch noids cavern, with all the foes vanquished!

"Then, sadly, just as we were about to move towards the pathfinders' book, a rather suspicious massive spawn of albino noids appeared amidst the group. A few made it out of the cave but were then overwhelmed there as well.

"Even though the expedition finished on a sad note, a group of exiles stood victorious in the Pitch Noids Cave!"
