"There'll be more along soon I'll bet. I'll give them something to think about and then make for a narrow tunnel and meet you back at the city. Good look lizard man."
*Eleth will take up position near a small tunnel with a view of all the other openings. He has his bow out.*

Alyshia Ra'nier, Rogue/Wizard/Arcane Trickster
*Alyshia was amazed as Kilvash drew her sword and charged into melee. Alyshia usually preferred to stand back and lobs spells at the badguys, but she was quickly becoming low on spells. Besides, Draginbiter has not tasted blood in awhile. She drew her rapier and approached cautiously, looking for a way to flank the half-dragon.*

*Eleth, you back up slowly, following the group of escaping slaves. You wait for several hours at one of the narrow passages, but eventually the sounds of pursuit start to fade. You're glad in a way, while you didn't get to kill any more dragons, the less that think of going this way, the better. Durlp nearly scares the life out of you when he pops up in front of you.*
*The mangy, stinking wererat gnome may be digusting, but he's also one of the best guides. If the others had been doing their job right, even you wouldn't be able to follow their tracks, so Durlp has come to get you. He leads you in an exhaustive, roundabout trip to the campsite of Zass'sk, Grathax, and Sekyen, then disappears into the shadows again. It's uncanny, almost as good as you.*
*The beholder is, almost humorously, using the telekinesis power of one of his eye rays to stir a pot of something above a tiny contained fire in a box. It's not giving off much in the way of smell, so you're guessing it's hot tea or something similar. Seyken holds out a packet of rothe jerky, the kind she was passing out to the slaves.*
*Zass'sk, you have been aiding Sekyen hide the tracks of the slaves for hours on end. Why the slaves have been eager to help, they've had little practice in stealth, and their help is limited. You were just barely able to sit down a little bit ago, and Sekyen pulled out her fire-in-a-box for Grathax to make tea with.*
"So... I'm not usually one to say this, but I'm very glad I ran into both of you. That was some impressive courage Zass'sk, I think most would have run than face a dragon head-on. I'll be sure to mention that to the council, they'll consider it when you ask to stay... if you want to stay. Eleth's testimony could make a difference too, probably more than mine," she comments.

"Look, you're hurt Grim, Guran's hurt, Zykovian's hurt, and Antiphia can't go too fast. Let's just try to slip back home before anything else happens," Ellimon suggests.

*Gortag gives a roar and gives two mightly slashes with his axe. These two open up the ones he had started earlier and the half-dragon goes down, choaking on blood.*
"Curse- you!" he gasps out as he falls.
*From one side, Kilvash, one of the Godeaters slashes one of the dragonkin, as Alyshia runs up and delicately dabs in between the chinks of the other dragonkin's armor, opening up a gushing wound. With a roar of pain, Renea-the-lion charges from the end of the hall and pounces on the one that Kilvash was attacking. She visciously rips at him with fangs and claws, pinning him to the ground. The other dragonkin seems determined not to go down alone, and slashes twice hard into Gortag, crunching through his armor.*
[Gortag hits twice, and misses his last attack (32, 26, and 24) for 36 points of damage, dropping the guy. Kilvash hits once with a 21, and misses once with a 14, dealing 9 points of damage to dragonkin #1 . Alyshia hits a 21 for 12 points of damage to dragonkin #2. Renea hits with one claw, her bite, one rake, and establishes a grapple for 24 points of damage to dragonkin #1. Dragonkin #2 hits Gortag twice with a 25 and a 20, for a total of 31 points of damage.]

*Zass'sk sits down on a stone, looking like a big green and and gray rock himself with his thick scales and calm demeanor.*Isida Kep'Tukari said:
"Thank you, Sekyen. My hatred of the dragons surpasses my fear of them."
"So, what is only whispered on the surface was true. The mightiest creatures of underdark have joined together to fight the dragons. I might be the last survivor of my tribe, I have no place to go. If there is a chance to fight the dragons alongside you another day, I'd be honored."

Grim Daergal, Svirfneblin Cagebreaker
"You're quite right. We've freed the slaves, killed one dragon, and removed its horde from their use; that's enough for one day."
*Grim will lead the party out by whatever route they deem most likely to be unpatrolled, after cloaking himself in Invisibility.*

"We'll see. I saw you fight, as did Grathax, but our words mean less in council. Eleth's testimony may be the deciding factor.Zerth said:
"But yes, it took us some time before we were able to truly organize, but even the first day we continued to fight. We fight cautiously, and make allies of many... even our former enemies," she says, with a nod to you.
*Grathax lifts the pot of tea off the fire-in-a-box and sets it in front of Sekyen. She pours it into three cups and hands them around, while Grathax pours the rest into his huge maw.*
"We mind flayers are not truly welcome in the camps of the resistance, a policy that I entirely endorse. It would be cruel to live in a place surrounded by food yet be unable to eat... Which is why I actually get along with Grathax here, beholder brains taste terrible!" she says, writing her tentacles in what you hope is an expression of merriment.
"Of course beholders don't ever officially join a fight, so officially Grathax isn't here, he just likes the tea I carry," Sekyen comments. Grathax makes a sound that sounds suspciously like a snort of amusement, but it's hard to tell behind the teapot. "Zass'sk, you said you were betrayed by your masters when they killed your elders. How did you find your way here, then? And why here?
~~~
*Grim, you decide to play it safe and backtrack through the oldest of the played-out mines. It might take another day to a day and a half more to get back, but you should be able to do it with less chance of pursuit.*
*You proceed slowly and cautiously during those three days, managing to avoid entanglements. You do see several retrieval teams, but manage to avoid them with some heavy use of illusions, as mostly everyone is somewhat hurt.*
*During this time Renea uses her own magic to identify what the various magical items are, both the ones from the deep scout team you found before you got here, as well as some of the items from Kelvarix's hoard.
*She's able to determine that you guys have a large fortune in magical items. (Please see below) You can also appraise the more mundane treasure.*

OOC: Before Eleth leaves, he'll pick up the swords and armor of the dragonkin who weren't petrified or disintegrated, as well as one tooth from the slain dragon.
*Dropping his shadow-blend, Eleth walks up to the camp and takes a seat in the circle.*
"There shouldn't be any following us, no one else thought to try our path. We're probably safe for now. Do you intend to stay here for the night, or continue on as soon as they're rested?"
*Eleth drops crosslegged to the ground, pulling out a small knife and beginning to make a hole in the new tooth to string it on his necklace.*
"So, is there any tea left for a tired rear-gaurd?"
