| [[people:Xarth]] has been training [[people:Brizanthimus]] with a staff, but it is no good – he simply is putting in enough effort. The good news is that they have been using the cover of these sparring sessions to investigate the feeling of a dark presence in the woods. One day Xarth finally decides to tell Briz that he is not human, but a [[Creatures:shoag]] that has been transformed by his gods. Briz is fascinated by the transformation, but Xarth refuses to let him examine it more closely. | [[people:Xarth]] has been training [[people:Brizanthimus]] with a staff, but it is no good – he simply is putting in enough effort.

| As Ian pulls the young woman over the wall, the elves begin slowing down as they trudge through the mud. Archers continue to send flights at the elves, but to no avail. Instead this is a battle of spear, shield, and sword. As the battle is joined, the woman grabs her bags and jumps off the wall and dashes into the city. With no time to think about the woman, Ian draws his daggers and slashes away at any hands that reach the wall. | As Ian pulls the young woman over the wall, the elves begin slowing down as they trudge through the mud.

| - | Both Xarth and Ian kill one of the elves as they nearly reach the top of the wall. Once again Briz sends his senses towards the darkness and this time his efforts are rewarded. He sees a large floating mass of [[lore:unlife]] pulsing with malevolence. | + | Both Xarth and Ian kill one of the elves as they nearly reach the top of the wall. Once again Briz sends his senses towards the darkness and this time his efforts are rewarded. He sees a large floating mass of [[lore:un-life]] pulsing with malevolence. |
| While everyone else is fighting to keep the top of the walls clear, Briz reaches out and simply sends the mass of unlife into the earth. When this happens one of the group of elves runs back toward their Master to save him. Ian and Xarth finish off the remaining [[creatures:elf]]. | While everyone else is fighting to keep the top of the walls clear, Briz reaches out and simply sends the mass of unlife into the earth.

| The woman runs through the streets finally running into a small alley to hide. Sofiya sees the panic in her eyes and comes out of the store holding a light.

| - | Once inside the woman introduces herself as [[people:Carina]]. She tells Sofiya about how these elves are chasing her because she has a zombie-slaying knife and she killed a zombie and so the men want her except that she also took the horse of the zombie that she stabbed because he was not doing the zombie against. During this entire speech she never once stopped to catch her breath. | + | Once inside the woman introduces herself as [[people:Karina]].

| Carina has a scroll in elven that she is having difficulty translating. Ian can read elven and Sofiya convinces her to let him read it. He finds out it was written by a man that considers himself a scholar and grand wizard. He has been researching elven history and came across a type of elf that he knows nothing about – so he researches it. Clearly the elves want to keep this knowledge a secret because he writes than a elven war-band has been pursuing him for several years. | Carina has a scroll in elven that she is having difficulty translating.
