Another, smaller group approaches from behind, but from a slightly different direction.Leading the approaching group is one a little to short and stocky to be an elf. Beside, he seems to bundled in his clothes (oddly marked by dark shadows) rather than wearing them, and has an upturned bowl on his head. Elves wear their clothes with more style, and don't wear bowls on their head. The leading one's arms are slung across a staff, that is itself slung across the back of his shoulders. Behind him move a couple of figure that are definately elves. The move lithely through the forest like whisps of mist, and have strung and nocked bows in hand. Shortly after coming into view, the bowlhead one breaks into a trot, covering the last few hundred feet quickly.In front of the group the new arrival drops to his knees. He removes his headgear and, placing both hands infront of him, lowers his forehead almost to the damp earth. Sweat glistens on his closely cropped skull, and the dark shadows on his robes are revealed for the bloodstains that they are. "Xiao wishes to make most profound apology for behaviour."</blockquote>
