The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

Drogo

Drogo crouches, glancing around to make sure the group is well positioned, guarding each others flanks. "I don't like this. Everyone stay alert."

A million creatures flash behind Calenthang's eyes as he tries to determine what could possibly cause this disturbance. Not sure of the power of his spell-caster companions, he considers downing a potion that would allow him to see things made invisible with some apprehension.
Where is Kayris? he thinks to himself with a furrowed brow, half-concerned for her well-being and half-concerned about the possible danger she may serve to his companions.
"Everyone, close together!" he says, indicating to the group to form some makeshift shoulder-to-shoulder formation.
 

As Dunstadnd moves to take his position with the rest of the group, he turns his head to look at Kayris. “Don’t worry my la…..” Noticing that Kayris is no where to be seen. “Where did the Lady Kayris go? She was right behind me, there is no way any thing could have sneaked up and taken her.”

"Stay alert" Sielwoodan approach the last point where the girl was standing. He looks around and above his head before he starts to looks for footprints
 

Sielwoodan looks all around for Kayris. The girl, still nowhere in sight, he begins looking for footprints and is puzzled when he finds none leading away from her last known position behind Dunstand. To him it almost seems as if she disappeared into thin air.

Teleri frowns as the bushes stop rustling. "Lady Kayris?" she queries, looking around in obvious confusion.

She looks at the others, in particular their employer Therav and the Mellorn Gharlef. "Did you see her? Perhaps she ran away in fear,"

She walks towards Seilwoodan who is studying the area around Dunstand. Seeing the footprints going nowhere, an avastic chill runs down her spine. She looks at Seilwoodan, white-faced. "What is going on here?" she asked.
 

It quickly dawns on Calenthang that his companions do not share his same apprehensions, and he comes to his own conclusions about the situation.
However like my homeland this place is, it is still not home, he thinks to himself, feeling foolish for making a scene about what was most likely just a pack of wild animals.
He keeps his sword drawn nonetheless.
 

Therav shakes his head at Teleri's question and Gharlef manages the same, the elf's head angled to the ground, with an arm around his stomach, but a sharper gaze in his eye, as if trying to make some ancient sense out of what has just happened. It is obvious the Mellorn guard is still in some discomfort from his not-fully-healed wounds. "Perhaps we should continue on?" he suggests, looking up, his face expressionless.

"I would feel much safer in the hands of my people's healers, and although I feel for the sudden loss of Ms. Kayris, I believe it wise to quickly move on so we do not end up just like her."
 

"Perhaps," Teleri replies with some misgivings.

"Could you help me search the surrounding area?" she asked the others. "I want to make sure that the lady 'kayris' is truly beyond our aid." she looked grim. "I have a feeling that she has been beyond our aid for a long time, but..."
