It was another hot night in the Elven Court of Cormanthor..The seven companions sat in the dark resting until morning so they may continue their journey to the ruined elven city of Myth Drannor.Many adventurers travel into the old ruins in search of treasure and other old artifacts left behind by the elves who once inhabited the great city..The ruins are also known to most to be roaming grounds of terrible devils from the lower planes that have been trapped there sometime after the Weeping Wars...
Ravenoz posted himself up for the first watch some twenty yards from his sleeping companions.."Sable,I love nights like these,a gentle breeze and the scent of summer dancing upon my senses"The large black cat made a low growl to confirm that she understood what her master was saying."I know you love it too dear friend,though it is much different here than our homeland.."Purring the 425 pounds of muscled feline rubs up against his side,trying to nuzzle her large head under his arm..Suddenly Sable lifts her head quickly in alert and her ears perk up to a sound which she registered to be a short distance away..The ranger whispers to his closest friend"I heard it too girl..."The sound they heard was just north of their position, the snapping of a small dead limb,one of many scattered amongst the forest floor.."This is what we are going to do girl.."We will circle around from the east quietly and see who or what it is that is lurking around out there...Got it?"She lets out a small and quiet growl,answering the ranger..."Okay,lets go.."
Quietly the pair stalked through the shadows of the still and silent forest in search of what had made the sound that alerted them..Now a good seventy yards from their sleeping companions,Ravenoz begins to think leaving them there asleep was the wrong thing to do.."Sable make your way back to the camp and alert our friends if you spot anything threatining"The panther leaped of into the shadows without a sound..Now alone,the ranger makes his way another twenty-five yards and spots two dark figures about a stones toss away, in some sort of deep conversation using their hands...Ravenoz began to circle slowly around the pair to get a better look at his discovery...The elven ranger's eyes go wide with disbelief..and mutters a silent prayer to Shevarash,his patron deity..Thinking to himself,"Ive got to go back and warn the others of my finding,this cant be good..."Backing away slowly...he slips into the shadows once more and makes haste to where his companions had set camp..
Arriving back at the camp and almost out of breath..Ravenoz spots Quelistyra up and about, apparently waking out of reverie to take the next watch.Quel , a moon-elf of great beauty and has the most startling bright green eyes which rivals her late mother..She keeps her hair at about chin length and even amongst their own kind has the most melodic voice Ravenoz has ever heard..The wood-elf ranger approaches swiftly out of the shadow of a giant tree.with the look of dread spread accross his fine features.."What is it,Ravenoz..?",the beautiful moon-elf asked.Quel,we need to wake the others,it is urgent and i think we need to get moving,now!!"I heard a twig snapping some distance off to the north..so i went to investigate..There are drow in the forest and they are not very far from where we camp..."The look of fear washes over the moon-elfs face,like she had just witnessed something horrid...Without a word,she turns to wake the rest of the group..Her father,Dar'Kane was the first to awake,since he wasnt so deep in reverie.."What is the meaning of this girl...? I want answers now!!!"DROW FATHER...!!!Drow are in the forest!!"
To be continued.....
