He and his cousins, Grishelm and Eric, accepted the party as extra guards. The 20 lizards in the train started off the next morning on the way to the trading outpost of Szith Morcane. D'nd warned the party to work on their disguises. They stuck out and would likely be slain outright. Arendel and a reluctant Calrom donned two of headbands Arendel had received from his order. They were soon drow. Alya tried one too. But not enough elven blood remained to complete the transformation. Sully likewise changed form with magic. He and Alya were a matched set of kobolds. That left only Fiddle and Darian. Fiddle rummaged around in his things. He went for the short, thin duergar look. He failed miserably. And everyone told him so. So he took another stab at it. This time he went for the deeper gnome disguise. Smurf nibblin' cookies. In the dimlight and if you squinted he was almost passable. "La, la, la..." Fiddle started to sing.Darian cupped his hand over the hin's mouth. He tried for the human slave of the kobold routine... The glowing light on his forehead had to be doused. All of the lights went out. Fiddle held onto a lizard for guidance.D'nd and the train set off. A short trek later they passed a side tunnel. The train avoided it. But D'nd and the others talked about what might be in that direction. Fiddle  concentrated on putting one foot in front of the other without stubbing his toes. They kept going."Shhhh," D'nd whispered in common. "We are approaching a guard post. The drow here aren't too friendly. But they are expecting me and me kin."The first lizard approached a hole in the floor of the tunnel. And there was a loud PPPPPlllllooooppp from behind followed by a chirp from Alya. Fiddle fired his two handcrossbows at the sound. He hit the roof of the tunnel.Eric grumbled something in duergar.  And then there was light. Arendel and the Bear were visible along with a writhing mass of stone on the floor. Something had fallen from the ceiling in an attempt to smother Alya. The thing had failed. The Bear made it pay. It raked claws and maw over the body of the mass.Someone called out in elven... Fiddle guessed drow ahead. Calrom replied. The creature floated out of the light. Eric gave chase. The party quickly reloaded and resumed their positions.D'nd beckoned everyone to follow his lead. Down the lizard train went into the hole. The Lurker thing never did come back.</blockquote>
