;I think the greeting was entirely appropriate for someone who managed to get himself shot察─Ryld replied察once more making room for Quenthel to work her own magic。
The high priestess waved her wand over the freshly bleeding puncture and muttered a trigger word。 The flesh that was exposed began to knit itself together察closing the hole and forming a pale gray scar on his jet black flesh察Pharaun sighed as Quenthel stood up once more。
;There察─she said察returning the wand to her pack。 ;Now察try to avoid crossbow bolts。 There's only so much of that to go around。;
Ryld threw a glance at Halisstra and saw the drow priestess looking jealous as she watched Quenthel store away the wand。
To the victor goes the spoils察he thought grimly。 You bowed your head to her and named her your mistress 。 。 。 don't expect any generosity in return。
Pharaun was sitting up察helped by Danifae。 He looked around。 When he spotted Aliisza察still being guarded by the draegloth察he grimaced and pulled his hand free from the battle captive's。 Ryld glanced over and saw that the dark´haired beauty was frowning severely。
Uh oh察Ryld thought。 This smacks of a jealous lover。 Surely the wizard isn't that big a fool察to lie with a demon。 。 。 。
Pharaun managed to get to his feet and move over to where the demon sat。
;It's all right察─he said to Jeggred as he passed。 ;You can stand down。 She's not going to bite。;
Jeggred studiously ignored the wizard and maintained his position。
;Look察I owe you for this察─he said察speaking low but not so quietly that Ryld couldn't hear the conversation。
To his utter surprise察the demoness grabbed hold of Pharaun察her hands to either side of his head察and kissed him savagely。 The wizard didn't do anything to resist察though the warrior could see his fists clenching and unclenching at his sides。
;Remember what I said察─Aliisza said察pressing her mouth to the mage's ear察but speaking loudly enough that everyone could hear。 ;I will know。;
Ryld saw that she was staring right at Danifae as she said this。 The battle captive caught the steely stare and turned away察a smile of amused disbelief on her face。 Quenthel gave a disgusted growl in the back of her throat and spun on her heel to ignore the ridiculous display。
;Now察I've been too long in this city察─Aliisza said。 ;I'll leave you all to whatever silly dark elf games you intend to play while the place falls down around you。;
With that察she opened a bluish´white doorway察stepping through as Jeggred snarled and made a leap for her察but she was gone。
;By the Dark Mother察Pharaun察─Quenthel snapped。 ;All of your talk about not tempting fate察and you're off dallying with that。 。 。 that thing拭You。 are such a male。;
Pharaun shrugged at the accusations。
;Nothing happened察─he said察rubbing his mouth thoughtfully。 ;I went to get your things察I got jumped察and she saved my life。 That's the end of it。;
;See that It is察─Quenthel snarled。
Pharaun looked around察scratching his head。
;Where's Valas拭─he asked察and Danifae explained the situation to him。
The wizard nodded and said察 Yes察the sooner we can get out of the city察the more quickly we can figure out how to get to his friend察the priest。;
The Master of Sorcere raised a single eyebrow and glanced over at Quenthel。
;Assuming we've settled on that as our next course of action拭─he asked her。
The high priestess gave him a single curt nod。
;Yes察you've convinced me察─she said。 ;Once we're clear of Ched Nasad察we'll need to decide the best way to reach this priest。 I assume you have some means of getting us to where we'll want to go拭
Pharaun nodded as he got slowly to his feet。
;I may察depending on where Valas tells us the fellow is察but I won't be doing it today察─he added。 ;I have nearly depleted my assortment of spells。 Without some rest and a chance to review my grimoires察I'm severely hampered。;
;Then let's just concentrate on getting out of Ched Nasad and worry about that later察─Quenthel said。 ;As soon as Valas returns察we'll see what he's discovered and make appropriate plans。;
;The news isn't good察─the scout said察appearing is if on cue。 He climbed up and over the wall against which they'd been sitting。 ;Every major gate seems to be either heavily guarded or under attack察and the other places Halisstra mentioned are inaccessible at the moment。 There's no way out of the city。;
;Nonsense察─Quenthel said firmly。 ;Pharaun察do you have any means at all of transporting us拭Some spell that would open a gate拭Anything拭
The wizard shook his head。
;Then we'll just have to clear a path through one of the gates。 I'm sure that with the seven of us we can acplish this。;
;There is only one way to find out察─the mage answered。 He studied their position for a moment then turned to Valas。 ;We need to get up higher察above those duergar察don't you think拭
Valas nodded and said察 The fighting is still heavy over in that direction。 If we can avoid that察all the better。;
;Let's not dawdle any longer察─Pharaun agreed。 ;We go up。;
Quenthel nodded her assent to the plan察and everyone prepared to depart。
As Ryld assembled his gear察he realized that he was exhausted。 Between his exploits with Valas at the taverns察fighting their way into and out of House Melarn察and dealing with both the duergar and the spiders察the warrior hadn't rested in over a day。
It has to be almost morning察he realized察and we're not even close to being finished察yet。 Let's hope we can find a relatively painless way to slip past the gate forces。
The team set out察but they had to move in shifts察for Jeggred had to carry both Valas and Danifae to higher ground察and the draegloth察despite his immense strength察could only transport one of the dark elves at a time。 Thus察half the group rose to the next web street overhead as Jeggred conveyed one drow察while the remainder waited with the other for the fiend to return。
The first team察consisting of Pharaun察Quenthel察and Jeggred carrying Danifae察alit atop a web street and discovered that it was actually being defended by drow troops。 Several of the dark elves leveled hand crossbows at the four of them察and when they saw the draegloth察they nearly panicked。
;What in the Nine Hells is that拭─one of the soldiers察an older male with plenty of battle scars察called out察pointing to Jeggred with his crossbow。
The fiend growled low察turning to face his would´be assailants察but Pharaun stepped between the draegloth and the others。
;Easy察there察─the wizard said察his hands out察palms up in a placating manner。 ;We're just passing through。 No need to get jumpy。;
Beside him察Quenthel sniffed察but when the drow soldiers saw that she seemed unconcerned by the fiend's presence察they quieted down察returning their attention below them察where the fighting was still taking place。 Jeggred departed to retrieve Valas。
Pharaun found a spot to take a seat and did so察reclining against a wall to rest for a few moments。
;Might as well get fortable察─he said to the two females with him。 ;Rest when you can。;
Quenthel scowled but consented to sit across from the wizard察and Danifae settled down察too。
The trio's rest was short´lived察though察for soon察shouts emerged from farther along the street。 All the drow around them grew restless as word spread that dark elves from an enemy House were heading their way。
A priestess of middling rank came stalking down the street察acpanied by a pair of male wizards。 They were cajoling the troops to form up。
;On your feet It's time。 Get up察you worthless roth└察and fight Fight for House Maerret
When she reached Pharaun and the others察she stopped and stared at them。
;What are you three doing here拭You're not part of this unit。 Who are you拭
Pharaun gave the priestess that same placating motion that he'd used earlier and said察 We're just passersby察not here to cause any trouble。;
;Well察you'll join ranks察then。 Get forward and help the other wizards。;
;
