Unexpected Visit

Three drow, including myself and two sargltin had been setting up ambushes for elves foolish enough to follow us into the outskirts of The Glade. It was a rather slow night, only three or four elves had fallen. All of a sudden one of my companions froze, he turned around just in time to see the long spear lunge forward and piercing his armor with ease. He fell to the ground quite dead. My second companion turn around and engaged battle with him. I began the incantations of a spell to vanquish this new foe. I had just about finished my chant when an crossbow bolt whizzed through the trees and into my shoulder from another enemy. The second crossbow bolt sliced through the air immediatly after, but instead of striking me, it thudded into into my remaining companions chest with deadly accuracy. I removed the arrow from my shoulder, and casted a minor healing spell to stop the bleeding before I fled the into the thickness of the trees for cover. As I ran I turned and got a good look at one of them, "Drow...," I muttered to myself. I noticed that thier clothing was a dull red, the color of House Maerdyn.

I lost all sense of direction as they continued thier chase. Evenually I saw some lights in the distance. As I got closer I released in was the elves tavern. "This just isn't my day," I groaned. I snuck past the tavern trying to not be noticed, but I didn't get far. I could see water and the distance, wasn't getting away that way. I turned around and ran back towards the two drow from House Maerdyn. Luckily they were confused by my actions and weren't able to fire off any crossbow bolts.

As I reached the tavern again I decided I was tired of running. I stopped near the edge of the forst and prepared some spells of protection. When the two Drow came through I was ready, I launched a volly of spells at the first one I saw. The force of the blasts knocked him back into a tree. He remained there slumped up against the tree. The second Drow however got to me. He let of a combo of several thrusts and slashes with his spear. Fortunately for me, my spells of protection were able to hold off his attacks. I began preparing a fireball to launch at the remaining drow, but as I released it at him to hopped up and pulled something from out from under his piwafwi. I wasn't sure what it was until a crossbow bolt stuck itself into my side. The fireball had only phased the drow for a moment so I took what time I had and fled into the forest.
