"Do not come out the door!!  Flee the ship some other way!!" Amurisil hung limply from her right hand.  The heavy weight seemed strange as the blade would otherwise be alive in a blaze of movement.  Instead, Eltera concentrated on her own innate abilities as she slowly crouched down and touched the planking at her feet.  Feeling the cold and wet plank, the dark aelf warrior summoned an area of darkness to shield herself and Rentiki's body from everyone else's vision. As the expectant darkness engulfed her, Eltera took one last glance around the ship for a point to hide from the abominations' vision outside her immediate area.  Rentiki's cabin was immediately to her rear, hampering her movement ever further.</blockquote>
