High in a tree with an excellent view of the surrounding countryside sat a Drow Warrior who spotted a female figure riding a horse towards the Shadow Rider camp at full speed.Drawing forth an arrow, the Drow Warrior whipped out a piece of red and black chalk and with it, made two marks on the shaft of the arrow. Looking down at the ground several feet below him, the Drow Warrior spotted his target and fired the marked arrow into a nearby log.
Almost instantly, another Drow on the ground pulled the arrow out of the log and studied the markings on the arrow shaft.
"What does Eyes-Bright have to say?" asked another Drow that joined him.
The first Drow studied the arrow, saying, "We've got a visitor, a woman and she's riding alone!"
"Alone!?!" questioned the second Drow, "It must be some sort of a trick. I'll round up four other guys and we'll look into this matter ourselves. Hickory, Dickory, Crock, and Skimmer you're with me, we've got a rider coming from the west and she needs to be properly greeted."
"Shall I tell the Captain?" asked the first Dark Elf somewhat concerned.
"Once he's done with his meeting with Lord Tolan," replied the second Dark Elf mounting his steed as the others did the same. "The Captain's had enough visitors for one day. Once he's finished with Lord Tolan, then we'll introduce him to this new visitor--but not before!" Looking back to the others, he cried, "Let's ride!"
And with that, the Drow welcoming party went out to greet their new arrival.
