You should move on ahead as you're able; it's more efficient for us to catch up to you at this point than it is for you to wait on each of us. We need you to start things either way before we can move ahead. I sent messages to the other 2 again, but we do have a solid damage-dealing party between the three of us here, just a little light on the front lines (they'll probably pop in soon in any case).

I am in the city of Erelhei-Cinlu, but I could hand wave my escape from the Matron who holds me and be wherever you want me to be. I would have stolen by "Black Blade" from the armory of my old house, however.

Taurfeiin is running. Sprinting as hard as he can,heart pounding in his ears. The drow are right behind you. Sinde is beside you,pumping her arms arms as fast as she can.
"Get back her and you'll only lose a leg!" One of the drow shouts up to you.
All you hear behind you is a muffled shout,then the thump of bodies hitting the floor.
Standing behind the Drow is another Drow,holding a blade that looks like pure obsidian,and an elf,who's hands are glowing with dark energy. They stand above the bodies of the three Drow pursuers.

"Hold up, you..ummm...snake girl! Sorry, I do not remember your name. Your safe, for the time being anyway. You remember me, the drow commander who pulled those orc's off you in the slum a few years ago? I'm Xundus, and this is Archae-Nym. We do not mean you any harm."
He lets the sword drop to a defensive position, just in case she did not remember him, and attempted to attack.
Archae-Nym |
Archae coldly kicks one of the bodies, There will be time for introductions later Xundus, let's get moving, I'd rather not end up in the hands of those Cave crawlers. The dark power fades from his hands, He looks around nervously. An odd symbol , burned on his hand. His hair long and white like snow, violet eye's and skin the of obsidian.
Sinde'Sithuan |
Sinde'Sithuan pauses from drawing her bow and puts out a hand for Taurfein to hold his weapons. "Xundus...? Ah, right I remember! You saved my skin that day. Looks like I owe you another one. She speaks perfectly fluent Undercommon, with a slight accent most noticeable on her 'S's, which are drawn out in a subtle hissing sound.
"The name's Sinde'Sithuan." She dips a short curtsy with a smirk to Archae, mocking the formality and the strange circumstances of their meeting. "My fugitive friend here is Taurfein. Thanks again for getting them off our backs." She nods to the two Drow on the ground. "I don't know about 'cave crawlers,' but I'm sure there's plenty of beasts in these tunnels that wouldn't hesitate to make us their next meal. Not to mention any other taskmasters that might be on our trail looking to bring us back. Getting a move on sounds like a good idea."
Taurfeind |
Taurfein lowers his axe ever so slightly as Sinde'Sithuan gestures toward him. He glares at the corpses of the drow, laying dead at the feet of their rescuers.
"Hnh...thanks," he growls in a harsh tone. "Getting outta here sounds good, you know where you're going?" he asks, sniffing the air.
Kenneth deLacie |
Xundus glances at his companion and shrugs.
"Well then are you going to tell me your plan?", he asks smiling at the odd "dark" elf.
Archae-Nym |
Yes, for now we get far far away from the city, preferrably we shall go to either the surface or a nearby dwarven or gnome settlement. We could also hide in the wilds, although that could prove dangerous. Either way we are all being chased by them for one reason or another, getting out of here is our pressing issue He refers to the drow on the ground. We will have very little time, they will send out their elite units soon to capture us. There are very few safe places for us, They will not easily let us escape
