I really hate drow.
That’s what those elves are – drow. Leastways that’s what Gwendolyn and Nesta say. Oh well, they look like elves to me. We can’t even agree how to pronounce the name. Does drow rhyme with hoe or wow?
After we rested, the party began the hunt for Ortho and the drow. Vin was wondering why the drow had let us go when they had us as right where they wanted us. What battle were you watching Vin? I told him that those losers had thrown everything that they had at us and we survived and were gaining the upper hand on the combat. They had simply exhausted their resources and had to retreat.
I felt pretty confident that we knew their tactics now and would have a much easier time killing the drow in the next battle but they did things a little differently the next time.
In addition to the same old darkness and web, the losers had an extra-shitty trap to spring. I got my wish and we engaged in another battle with the drow. It went much like the first but the drow brought in reinforcements in the form of a roomful of big, hairy zombies like the ones in those tunnels that Vanthus locked us up in.
During the battle, no drow were killed but Daria managed to rescue Ortho. Ortho claims to have escaped but we all know better - especially given the fact that Ortho later announced “Hey guys! I’ve got light in my spellbook!” ‘Bout time.
It looks like this time Nesta got nabbed, forcing us to follow the drow deeper into their lair. That’s fine with me. I want some payback. Everyone else seems really pissy about the whole deal.
Some of the party members claim that we are being led to our deaths. I try to tell them to take their doom & gloom and shove it. Everything that I learned as a pirate tells me that we have the upper hand. We have survived everything that they threw at us and we are driving them back as we destroy their ability to defend themselves. Why else would they bother to take living prisoners if not to bargain with later? So what if we lost an elf. We recovered an elf and we destroyed their zombie losers. I asked Vin if Vanthus could be behind any of this.
“We don’t even know if Vanthus is still alive”
“He’s still alive.”
“Rudolpho, how could you know that?”
“He’s not dead - because I haven’t killed him.”
