[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2993401, member: 22226"] The young Erenlander climbs into the culvert and does not wait for either Kaela or Starhl. Behind, Kaela walks quickly but with considerable effort, her stomach aching and stinging with its fresh wounds and contact with the water in the channel. Starhl walks next to her, keeping a sharp eye on the Erenlander. The Erenlander runs up the culvert, keeping his head low in the shallow tunnel. Running toward Herger, Lodric, Fallax, Valurel, and Aislinn, he whispers harshly, [COLOR=DarkOrange]I am a friend! Quickly, follow the tunnel to the right![/COLOR] He slows once he gets near the Heroes, seeing Herger's massive form stooped in the tunnel and Valurel's ice cold eyes glaring suspisciously in the darkness. [COLOR=DarkOrange]I am willing to help anyone escape those black-hearted bastards! Trust me now, and I swear I will earn your respect when we are finished![/COLOR] Pushing his way through, the young man shuffles quickly into the tunnel without looking back. Following the tunnel to the right, the young man stoops even more as the tunnel narrows. Complete darkness surrounds the Heroes. Herger's shoulders chaffe and scrape on the stone blocks of the drainage and he is forced to put Aislinn down. The young girl grabs Valurel's hand for guidance. [COLOR=DarkOrange]We must go slow, Friends. The darkness is too complete for my human eyes.
