[QUOTE="Ziona, post: 108764, member: 484"] Rossal found it wasn’t very difficult to locate Ziona since he could mentally call out to her without their enemies hearing. This tactic proved quite useful for finding Doc as well. It was easier to find Varr, however, since he wasn’t as silent as he hoped in his full plate. The four companions regrouped and began discussing what had happened, and what their next move should be. “Varr, do you know which way Solstar and Aarack were taken?” asked Doc. “Yeah…there was a tunnel to the left of where we were fighting. I saw the drow take them down the passage, but I dared not follow, lad. I was invisible, thanks to that magical dust, but they could hear me when I moved too much,” replied Varr. “Yes, their [I]Silence[/I] spell worked to your advantage,” said Ziona. “Silent or not, I say we rush the blasted drow!” said Varr excitedly. Doc’s nod showed that he, too, would like to feel his sword rip into drow flesh. “Well, our numbers are fewer than when we began. We can’t run into their city or even a camp of drow without a plan,” sighed Ziona. Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows of the cavern. “Yes, you do need a plan.” Startled, Varr, Doc, and Ziona quickly turned around. Rossal poked his head out of Ziona’s cloak in curiosity. “And I suppose a drow would like to help us devise one,” Doc remarked sarcastically, drawing his weapon. The drow’s face could not be seen through the hood of his green cloak, but his accented voice and tassels of white hair gave his race away. He stood straight and proud with a sword on each hip. “At ease, my friends,” he began pulling back his hood. “I am an ally in this place of evil.” His smooth ebon face showed no anger, and his cool lavender eyes showed that he spoke the truth. “I am Drizzt Do’Urden. I have been watching you for a short while now.” Ziona stood, staring at the heroic drow that her father had told her stories about since she was just a girl. This was Drizzt Do’Urden! The drow who left the evils of the Underdark to make a life for himself on the surface! Ziona could hardly believe he was here. “How have you come to be here?” she said, half whispering. “I had heard rumors of a drow that had escaped to the surface, like myself,” Drizzt began. “Not knowing whether to believe the stories, I decided to find out for myself. Guenhwyvar and I were making our way to Ashabenford when we heard that the drow had been taken into the Underdark.” “That drow is Zellian,” Ziona replied. “I am his daughter, Ziona, Priestess of Eilistraee.” Drizzt looked at Ziona for a long moment, perhaps guessing at her heritage, when Doc intervened. “Let me get this straight.
