Niarra crept in close, only to look on in horror as she saw the town was occupied by<em>dark elves</em>! She watched for a minute before creeping back to Lyla.<br/><br/>"The town is run by dark elves! On the<em>surface</em>." She blurted, utterly stunned. "Where did that demon bitch<em>leave</em>us? I haven't heard of any areas like this!"<br/><br/>"Dark elves? Drow? Uh..." Lyla paused at the information, startled and confused. "I've never heard of them living on the surface before. I'm guessing that we're a<em>long</em>way from home."<br/><br/>"I'd think that's obvious." Niarra muttered, shaking her head. After a moment she asked. "What do we do? I don't know how bad a night will be in these parts, wherever they are, but we're naked and without weapons. I imagine I could find a makeshift club or quarterstaff, but..."<br/><br/>"Umm...maybe watch the town a little bit longer? If they don't seem mean, maybe we can convince them to help us? If we're far enough away, maybe the dark elves aren't as evil as the ones we've heard of." Lyla asked, slightly hopeful.<br/><br/>"I suppose I could. I don't know what else we can do, anyway. So you stay here, well out of sight, and I'll go back and watch for a while." Niarra replied, and then padded off to watch the gate entrance for a few hours.
