The Capture

This eve, near the beginning of my shift at the Silver Arrow, I sighted several drow at the edges of Tel'Ruid, who were trying not to be seen. The first two appeared to be fighters, and when approached, they fled using Recall spells. The second I persued back and forth across Tel'Ruid; he was no doubt taunting me with his ability to so easily venture within our village.

Deciding that it was time we had a chat with one of them, I met up with Ledolas to scout around Tel'Ruid. Unfortunately, he had to leave soon after we started. However, as I crossed between the Smithy and Justice Shrine, a drow mage appeared and launched a fireball at me. I retaliated, and the running battle ended near the Silver Arrow, where I forced him to surrender. At swordpoint, I took him inside the tavern, where I questioned him.

His name is Istorvir. He claimed he came alone to the surface, and that he was in Tel'Ruid just "looking around". He said he came from a place several days away, underground. He also said he was forced to come to the surface, by what he wouldn't tell. Crimson Ghost also interrogated him, but that was about as much as he would reveal.

I locked him up in Ostar Tower, where he now remains. Perhaps sitting in there awhile will persuade him to be more talkative.
