The man dropped both Tahlavain and his sword when he felt Deawen's blades on him. "Uh... umm... I didn't mean harm! I was only trying to bargain her off... there's a good deal of money involved, and can easily be split among us... " he stuttered desperately. Rek spit out a few words, "oh right, you were gonna let him kill me, then you would take the money yourself, you idiot." "Who's the idiot? You're the one who got yourself caught! My plan would have worked better without you!" The two men were obviously not very smart, seeing as how they were arguing with eachother even at sword point.

Darrell pressed his sword against the man's throat, preventing him from saying anything more. " I suggest you tell us why you knocked her out and took her here" He released the pressure on the mans throat alittle so he could speak, "and as for money, I am companion of her's and do not wish to ransom her off. Come on, speak quickly and I'll consider letting you go unharmed"

Rek swollowed hard, and being the coward of the two, started spouting off. "It was this guy named Cedric... he said there would be high pay if we went into the city and retrieved this elf alive. He gave us certain information and told us she must be alive, unless we couldn't see any way of keeping her alive, and we mustn't touch the sword or all deals would be off... that's all I know.." "Ah, you fool!" the other spat, trying to lunge forward, with a dagger, but it only resulted in Deawen's blades holding him back.

Darrell raised his eyebrows "what did this Cedric look like?

"Umm... cloaked, kind of the creepy type... had a black horse, carried a strange bow..." Rek gave a shudder. "Just keep your mouth shut...." his friend growled. "No I won't, Kor, you can very well get your head chopped off but I prefer to keep mine..."

"maiean" Darrell muttered. The he spoke to the man again" your friend has made a wise decision. And though I am loth to let you go I can see no purpose in holding you any longer, so if my friends agree we'll release you. I think your pal saved your life"

Lur gave a slight snort, "more like sent us to our death...." "We have a better chance of hiding within the city," Rek replied to his friend's comment. Tahlavain came to and held a hand to her head. "What has happened? ... and more importantly, where is my sword?" she questioned as she felt her empty sheath.

Deawen didn't realese her victim she scanned the area "my friends i don't think it is wise to let these two free...." she got a few nods the two men went pale as Deawen put away the sword and drew a seconded poisoned blade "your sword is out there" she said pointing a blade in that dirrection the man she was guarding lurked forward towards the door but Deawen wa too fast she plunged one dagger into his side not deep but enough for the poison to work. (im gonna powerplay for a moment) the others stared at her (i figuered Sen would have been around already) Sen gave Deawen a dissiproving look 'What!' she cried "he's better dead now that alive..." she snorted Sen continued his look Deawen felt guilt she drummed her fingers on her side "oh fine!" she reached into a pouch and pulled out a vial she opened it forced the contets down the mans throat. the man was starting to shiver at first then it was uncontrolible but the contents in the vial was the antidote and it was effective immedaitly. Deawen sighed put her daggers away and switched to regular knives and daggers she stormed out of the room to wat for the others

(actually Deawen, I picked the sword up. Its in my charries belt)

"One movement and I'll stick you" Darrell threatened the man who had his sword at his throat. He released the man and walked over to Tahlavain, taking Corasar from his belt. "here is your sword my friend" he said, holding the hilt out to her " How do you feel? These scum knocked you out and dragged you here. They where going to ransom you to the maiean" A movement in the corner of his eye caught his attention "Stay where you are" he commanded the man, who had been sidling towards the door, " If you get out my companion out there will undoubtable stick you with those knives of her's".

he he i told you poisoned blades are the best!

Deawen sat out side the building she drew the poisoned blade again wiped away the blood carefully to avoid the poison.she rumaged though her pack again she found only one bottle of the antidote"great" she thought

Tahlavain took the hilt of her sword and sheathed the blade, which had gone grey while in Darrell's keeping. "My head hurts, but I am fine... "she glanced at the two who had grabbed her. "Let them go..." she spoke in a low voice while she got to her feet. "The fear or death that will await them when they are found without me shall be worse than anything we could deal out to them..." Rek, the one Darrell had released, looked at her in horror, while his companion, Lur, glared at her. Lur leaped forward at her, but Tahlavain had Corasar unsheathed and point forward and the man practically ran into the blade. She stepped back and pulled the blade out. "Deawen was right about this one...." she mumbled, sheathing her blade.

SHe whined then she releized she had said that outloud she smiled weakly

Tahlavain looked at Deawen. "I do not enjoy killing... I only do it to those who are evil, and still I do not enjoy it, because I know that life has ended in the worst way one could ever end... in the grasp of darkness..." She took the papers from one of the men, and turning to Rek, she narrowed her eyes. "Run or I'll set my companion Deawen after you..." she threatened. The man paled and turned heel, running quickly from the tunnels.

Deawen figited alittle as she watched the man ran away. she drummed her fingers on the hitl of her sword. "let him go and get away...." Deawen mumbled she half snorted half sighed she walked out the door. the icy wind cut through the cloak Deawen shivered she pulled out a poisoned blade and examined it she placed it against her arm when she heard someone near her. she felt a hand on the back of her neck the grip was cold and hard Deawen was ready to strike. presently she felt the point of a blade under her ear Deawen remained still she was caught she could not strike without being hit first.

Darrell watched the man turn and run out into the passages. "I think its time we got back out into the open" he said to Tahlavain " and I feel the need for some fresh air and the breeze on my face. I have spent too much of my life without a roof over my head to enjoy being inside for any length of time. Do you need any assistance?"
