[QUOTE="Medriev, post: 4504062, member: 21864"] [b]Chapter 10 - The Halls Beneath (Part 1)[/b] “There’s a trap door here,” Kelolitha called to the others as she picked her way through the ruins. Erlmoor had shamed Dulvarna and Enlishia into building a pyre for the elves while Thira, kel and Lavren explored the ruins carefully. “Then cover it with something heavy so that nothing can escape from below,” Dulvarna called back. Kel looked around to find something to cover the trap door with before quickly settling on a large chunk of fallen masonry close to the wall beneath which the trap door lay. “Lavren,” she called softly. “Will you help me with this?” The moon elf came over to the dark elf, whose hood was now down, revealing her stunning beauty and bent to assist her. His eyes could not help but stray to take in all the fine features of the beauteous being before him. “What should we say to speed Fair Folk upon their way?” Erlmoor called from beside the pyre, interrupting Lavren’s less than pious musings. He pretended not to hear and after some whispered discussions, he heard Erlmoor raise his voice in a prayer for the drawing down of the day in what the elf assumed to be Morninglord’s tradition. “Why do you defend me when those brothers would have killed me?” hissed Kel then as she and Lavren raised the heavy stone up between them and began to carry it slowly over to the trap door. “I am not like other elves,” Lavren responded quickly. “The old ways and traditions have served us poorly of late and so I follow them less than others.” They heard Enlishia’s voice take up a mournful elven ballad then as the fire was set to the pyre of the elf brothers. “I owe you my life,” said Kel softly as they set the stone down atop the trap door. “How can I ever repay you?” “I’m sure you’ll find a way,” he replied in his most charming voice, hoping the drow was perhaps promising some of the things that his mind was now conjuring. Alas, Enlishia’s voice, her song now finished, interrupted his reverie. “We should venture downwards sooner tonight,” the ranger said. “If more hobgoblins lurk down there they surely know we are here. The sooner we strike at them the less time they will have to prepare.” “Agreed,” answered Kel, breaking eye contact with Lavren and turning to face the three who came from the funeral pyre. “The more time they have, the more ready they will be.” “Enlishia is right,” Erlmoor rumbled without acknowledging the drow. “We attack them now when they will expect us to wait out the night.” “Looks like we’re decided,” said Thira as she rejoined the group from the southern side of the ruins. “There’s a flue over there that I’ve blocked as well. If they cook tonight, it’ll get pretty smoky down there.” “Have we forgotten that we have fought two battles today,” said Lavren with a meaningful glance towards Kel. “We should camp and rest for the night with our enemies sealed below us.
