Their kobold prisoner was terrified by Hexehe's sudden assult and and started spewing out information.  He mentioned that he worked for someone who he refered to as the dark lady.  This was troubleing, had the kobold been paid they could have scared him into leaving, but if he served a higher master he would report back to her, so they could not let him go that easily now.  Beldak had a feeling there was more information to be had from the one who called himself xsmall, he wanted to know more about this dark lady.<br/><br/>When K'risti mentioned that some one was coming through the woods towards them, he knew they had to move quick.  He pulled a lenght of rope from his pack and tossed it to Hextehe, "can you tie him up and gag him, then we will all move a little closer to the tower.  K'risti stay in the shadows of the tower and make sure our little friend dosnt try to escape, if this turns ugly cover us with crossbow and spells.  Kye can you fly up ro the top of the tower and give us cover with you bow.  Hex and i will draw them close to the tower and find out their intentions".<br/><br/>Beldak kept his shield out but put his mace away for the time being.  he turned to Kye "if things get out of hand down here, or if you have a good line of attack swoop out of the tower to engage in some close combat.
