Elli followed, surprisingly eagerly since she had detected no real intended subversion or deceit in them.  She was all but following blind though with her sunrod that they perpetually stayed out of the right part of, a downside to being the human surface-dweller that she was, she figured.  She'd have to have someone lead her back out too; this was a rather confusing trail...<br/><br/>It seemed the sunrod would become unnecessary, and indeed she simply placed it in her pack since the light bothered the others.  Glowing mushrooms were quite interesting, and when they entered a larger area they seemed they were everywhere.  It was... strikingly beautiful, and they were light enough Elli could see and so could the dark folk, good for everyone.  The village was soon in sight, stone huts illuminated by these bioluminescent mushrooms, and once in there there were<em>many</em>of the smaller creatures, and a few of the larger ones.  Apparently the larger ones were<em>highly</em>regarded, like gods almost...<br/><br/>That said though, the larger ones - warrior most obviously - didn't seem so fond of Elli herself, and they were arguing and gesturing at Elli with anger in her eyes.  She kept he hand near her weapon, but not<em>on</em>it just yet, and kept her posture proper and ready.  After a while of the argument, she decided to cut in.<br/><br/>"I take it there is a problem with my presence?" Elli asked, calmly of course.
