The anger was unleashed, and as Elli listened in with her weapon ready to be drawn, she realized that they were indeed being truthful.  The drow had come in and taken their town hostage, it seems... a number of raiders, and a leader with over two dozen dark folk as hostages... that was not good at all.  She released her blade as the two smaller ones behind her released theirs, and looked the angered man in his eyes deeply.<br/><br/>"How many of them are there, and how soon?" Elli said, not even hesitating to offer her help " I would<em>gladly</em>offer my aid in freeing your tribe, but if I have time to gather a squad I would sooner do that to better our chances.  So how many, and how long do I have to prepare, and how far away is the town?  Further, would one of you be able to lead me there?"
