He was judging the width of the flames察trying to determine if he could leap across them without burning himself too much察when he realized that Halisstra was speaking to him。
;Ryld察─the priestess was saying。 ;Ryld察I can get us out of here。;
The warrior glanced over at her察ignoring the taunts and jeers from above as the duergar took their time察savoring the moment before dispatching the dark elves。
;How拭─he asked。
;I can cast a spell察─Halisstra replied察 A magical doorway that will get us out of here察but you've got to buy me some time
;Ah察Pharaun's favorite trick察─Ryld replied。 He eyed the low wall that was behind the two of them察and he pointed to it。
;Get over that察─he said。 ;We'll be better protected from above and can decide what to do。;
Without waiting for her to follow察Ryld levitated upward until he was at a height just above the top of the wall察which had originally been slightly over his head。 He quickly stepped across it to the other side and lowered himself once again。 Halisstra察her shield arm hanging limply at her side察was only a heartbeat behind him。 She tumbled into the corner with a grunt of pain as Ryld watched for pursuit。
When the duergar saw where the two drow were going察they began yelling in rage。 From above察they began to fling more of the firepots down察trying to target the two dark elves察but Ryld pulled Halisstra inside the protection of the covering that hung partially out over the enclosed area。 There was a door in the wall to his back察but it appeared stout。 He tried it察and as he suspected察it was locked。 Several of the firepots had landed inside the little courtyard察but the warrior and the priestess were far enough back away from them that they were in no danger。
;Won't they ever run out of those things拭─Halisstra plained as Ryld saw a hand grasp the top of the wall。
Pulling out his crossbow察he waited until a head appeared then fired察catching the gray dwarf directly in the face。 The humanoid shrieked and toppled backward。
;Eventually察─he replied察reloading察 but let's not stick around to see how long。;
;Where should we go拭We want to be able to find the others again察right拭
;Yes。 We need to get to´;
Ryld cut his words off short as several screams erupted from the other side of the wall。 It was only then that he realized that firepots were raining down on that side rather than on theirs。
;What the´拭─he said察and scooted forward to the edge of the overhang。
Cautiously察he peered up to the roofline。 It appeared that the duergar who had been there were gone。 Then察in an instant察he spotted a drow form rise up just long enough to fling another firepot down before ducking out of sight again。 Ryld began to laugh。
;What is it拭─Halisstra asked察moving up beside the Master of Melee´Magthere。 ;What do you see拭
;It's Valas察─Ryld replied察pointing。 ;He's taken care of our snipers for us。;
Ryld placed his fingers m his mouth and gave a shrill whistle。 A similar whistle emanated from above a moment later。
;He knows we know he's up there察─Ryld said。 ;Let's save your spell for later and go join him。;
Halisstra nodded。
;Before we go察─the weapons master said察crouching beside the priestess察 let me see your arm。;
He examined the bolt for a just a moment。 It was sunk deep enough in her shoulder that he would have to force it out the other side。
;This will have to wait until Quenthel can heal it。 However 。 。 。;
Before she could protest察Ryld snapped the protruding end off。
;Goddess ─Halisstra grunted as she jerked from the pain察squinting her eyes shut。
She reached her other hand up察but Ryld grabbed her arm and held it away。
;Don't察─the warrior said。 ;You'll only make it bleed察
Grimacing察Halisstra shook her head。
;No察─she said。 ;I can heal it。 Just let me´;
She pulled her arm free and reached inside her piwafwi察producing a wand。
;Push it out察─she said察taking the broken end of the bolt and biting down on it。
Ryld plied察bracing her shoulder with one hand and preparing to shove the head of the bolt through with the other。 In one clean察quick motion察the shaft was out。 Before she could jerk away from him察Ryld pulled it pletely free。
Halisstra sobbed once察then she spat out the splintered shaft察waved the wand察and uttered a trigger phrase。 The bleeding stopped instantly and the wound closed。 The priestess sagged back and closed her eyes in relief。
;Let's go察─Ryld said察reaching out to help her to her feet察 before those fires burn out and the grays are over this wall。;
;Wait察─Halisstra said察and produced a second wand from inside her piwafwi。 ;Let's make it a little harder for them to shoot at us。;
Ryld arched his brow at her察puzzled。 Quickly察she invoked the power of the wand twice察and the two dark elves were pletely invisible。
Ryld reached out and found the priestess。 He took her hand。
;So we don't get separated察─he explained。
Together察the two drow rose upward察watching as duergar alternated between scattering from the firepots that Valas was hurling down on them with deadly accuracy and firing ineffectually at the scout with their crossbows。 As they neared the top察Ryld pulled out Splitter and sliced through the netting察parting the material easily with the enchanted greatsword。 He and Halisstra passed through the hole and settled to the rooftop near where Valas knelt察peering over the edge。
;We owe you one察─Ryld said to the scout as he moved away from the edge to avoid any stray crossbow bolts。
The roof was covered with the bodies of a good half dozen gray dwarves。
Valas glanced over to where the warrior's voice had e from but didn't react otherwise。
;I saw you e down here and figured I'd try to catch up by ing the long way around察─he said察rising up to throw the last of his firepots。 ;When I saw these cretins here察laughing and throwing these things down察I knew you were in trouble。;
;Let's get out of here察─Ryld suggested。 ;Do you know where the others are拭
;I think they got up on the roofs on the other side of the square察─the scout replied察dusting off his hands and backing away from the edge。 ;We'll find them。 The wizard will be all flash and glory when they run into something察so we can track them that way。;
Ryld turned to follow the scout。
;Too true察─he said。
The three dark elves made their way across the rooftops until they came to another side street a little farther ahead of where they'd originally been separated。 Valas climbed down the side of a gaudily decorated shop that had plenty of hand´ and footholds察while Ryld and Halisstra descended by their customary levitating method。 By the time they were on the ground察the invisibility magic had expired。
;Lead on察─Ryld said to Valas察gesturing察and the scout took the fore as the three of them prowled through the street察making their way back toward the main thoroughfare。
The ground began to vibrate。
;What in the Underdark拭─Ryld muttered察steadying himself as the street bounced beneath his feet。 ;What is that拭
;I don't know察but it's big察─Valas replied。 He looked over at Halisstra。 ;Do you have any clue拭─he asked her。
Halisstra shook her head察but she had a worried look on her face。
;Let's not stay and find out察─she said。
Valas nodded and proceeded out into the main street。 Peering in both directions察he had to reach a hand out to stabilize himself察for the quivering had grown stronger。
;Oh察no察─Halisstra said察her voice stricken。
Ryld looked over at her and asked察 What拭What is it拭
;Oh察by the Dark Mother察─the priestess said察putting a hand to her mouth in terror。 ;They summoned one。; ;Summoned what' Ryld demanded。
;One of those察─Valas said from the warrior's other side察and when Ryld turned to look察he saw the scout pointing。
The weapons master turned to peer in the direction his panion indicated and saw a spider the size of the entire square clambering into view。 He sucked in his breat
