The Harem Tent
Kramo, ran up "Nice job DP, I would of like to seen his face." Looking at Georgi, "you think he might have been an advance scout? We might want to keep our eyes open. DP, take a break. I'll take the lead and look for traps." Kramo slowly moved forward. "I need something to keep my mind active." He thought.

The group stayed back aways, after the last time everyone figured it would be safer. Kramo, taking his time finding the traps, making sure there were no ambushes. One of the traps had a crest, set on top of it. A Radient Heart crest, Kramo signaled the group to stop. As he worked to get the trap disarmed, he reconized who's crest it was. When Kramo was finished, he pick up the crest and signaled DP. DP took the crest and walked into the shadows. Sir Ryan requested that the group will rest. Kramo sat down and put his head in his hands.
DP stepped out of the shadows.
"Kramo, you and I are going to have to do this alone. Let them go after Waverly, the Drow challenged us. This was left for us."
Shaking his head.
"Noway DP, if you want to go on your own..... Damn it, you are putting me in a hard position." Looking over at Loner, talking to the others. "What am going to tell Loner? See ya, I'm going off to fight the whole Drow army. Because they left me a challenge?"
"Come on Kramo, you were there ten years ago. Your blood soaked, those fields. It's pay back time, I know you want too. You are feeling it now. You have a wound, bleeding right now on your shoulder. You don't even feel it, because your in combat mode. Think about and let me know."
As DP left, Kramo put his hand on his shoulder and felt the blood. "Maybe DP was right."

Darkpoet smiled to himself, as he snuck away. If Kramo didn't want to join him, fine. He do it alone. Coming upon Drow sentries, Darkpoet took care of them quietly. Then he exchanged his armor for their's. He also went through disabling all the traps, along the way. He also enjoyed sitting back, picking off Drow with his bow. "Soon" he said to himself, "I'll find the SOB that killed Odessa."

Gwalchimai: Thanks I'm a big softy
All: Is it okay if I add a small ambush? Just for a bit of fun
IC:
Vivien strained her eyes into the darkness ahead, wishing she had years of underground training to help her out in this situation. She could barely make out Loner72 talking to Georgi in the darkness, and Darkpoet was no where to be seen. She sighed and blew the whisps of hairs out of her face with annoyance. As no one had TOLD her DIRECTLY 'no light'maybe a small bit of flame wouldn't hurt.
She muttered a few words, moving her arms slowly and a small glow bulb appeared, bathing them in a blue glow. She turned to give Jennabard next to her a smile wondering if any others were awake, but the very alert Jennabard was looking past her in confusion, appearing very troubled as the blue light carressed her features softly.
Vivien turned to see where she was looking and saw several Drow standing on the stones above them, weapons drawn, in the act of stealthily creeping up on them. In surprise, Vivien stepped back into Jennabard, knocking both her and Dragonwench to the ground to form a heap.
In the dust haze that their three bodies had made on the ground, Vivien saw KramoR and Gwalchmai frozen in the act of taking out a Drow who HAD had his back to them prior to Viv's little light globe mistake. Without a word Gwalchmai ran the Drow through while KramoR kicked it aside. The Drow above, the surprise ruined, jumped down in a dark wave.
Vivien felt herself shifted as Dragonwench jumped to her feet and launched herself at the nearest Drow with a cry of war, her sword stricking true. Jennabard was on one knee, somehow a bow and arrow had found it's way into her hands.
As Vivien creakily got to her feet she saw Loner and KramoR now standing back to back as three Drow circled them with flails cracking.
Suddenly, purplish light flashed past, targetted on Gwalchmai, tiny balls slamming into his body, causing him to miss a swing as he absorbed the magic missiles.
Vivien turned to see a lone Drow, still slightly hidden, already beginning his next spell.
Vivien narrowed her eyes, turned to face him, and began pushing up her usual robe sleeves in preparation, her fingers already beginning to form the usual spells. As she wasn't actually wearing a robe at the time, it looked a little odd, but she wasn't really concerned with appearances. The power in the air intensified, and Viv and the Drow mage began to have themselves a little mage war.
OOC: Darkpoet, could the Drow you're looking for be part of this party? They don't HAVE to be of course
And, all I can delete this, but it doesn't have to take that long as there's only ten drow

"Apparently," said Loner to Georgi, while simultaneously firing at the Drow, "we have been ambushed, and...I have an idea of where DP might have gone, though I'm afraid to think it..."
Then she stood back and wondered if she should watch the mage war, or shoot...
