About an hour into Marley’s watch in the silence of night. No signs of crows or ravens in the window.

She has a hard time keeping her eyes open. She tries to fight it, but alas falls into a slumber, collapsing to the floor. After a minute she awakens to find everything is exactly the way it was. Except that Xavier is missing.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Marley's head rests on her hand as she drifts off to sleep, suddenly awoken as her arm gives way in slumber. She jolts awake and looks around the bunk, relieved that everything is the same. She rests back, glad that nothing happens until she jolts up again realizing that Xavier is missing. Frantically she looks around, upset that she let something like this happen. She looks around quietly for clues; such as an open door or footprints outside, as not to wake the others, she didn't want to wake the others unless she knew something was wrong.
Peering around the room, Marley’s vision is still having trouble focus from just waking up. It’s difficult to see any details. You do see his bunk, blanket, and sheets are tossed about like there was an altercation. It’s strange because something like that should clearly have woken everyone up. During the frantic search in the dark, Marley isn’t nearly as graceful as she set out to be. Waking up several of the group from their sleep in the panic.
Marley tiptoes over to Xavier's bunk but trips over her Warhammer that she left on the floor and lands with a loud THUNK! She quickly scrambles to her feet and breathlessly pants to the group "Xavier gone...I closed.****y a minute...CRAP!"
Flux leaps from his bed, "Those damn sneaky bastards, we need to make sure those dark elves haven't left base and possibly warn Quinton that they possibly have abducted Xavier!"
Ewan awakes himself and looks over to where he was. "They probably waited, magic cannot affect even half-elves with sleep, something that the drow would know and something half of me has in common with them, not much else mind you," he says with a scowl. "We definitely need to check on our dark-elf 'friends'" he adds and picks up his staff to head over to the door.
Being in the West Hall you know that the elves were stationed in the east building in between the temple and library. There was also the make shift holding cell in the south building. These are the two most logical places they would be without having any other information gathered yet.
"We don't know the full extent of their abilities, what do we know about these guys?" Ewan asks very quickly "if they just want to question him they might head to the holding cell," he suggests to the group.
"I agree, we don't have a lot of information on these guys. They have to be pretty special to be granted access to our base and be willing to openly oppose us at the same time."
"Would they not take him back to where all their magicy stuff is. That way they can use all their funky spells on him. Maybe we should split up and head to both places?"
Marley picks her Warhammer off the floor and starts to head towards the West Hall.
"That is an option, but bear in mind we don't know the extent of their power, so that could be more of a disadvantage than we realise" Ewan replies to Marley. "And it depends on what they intend to do with Xavier, they could indeed. There are advantages to splitting the group, but it's important to be prepared for the complications," he adds. "In fact, we hardly know anything about them.
And that is assuming they decide to go to either of those places, they may not go to either knowing that they may be tracked there, of course, it is all we have right now. If we can just find Xavier, we can have the drow come to us. Going to where they have everything they need in arms reach puts us at a major disadvantage. I would suggest checking the holding cells to see if we can sneak in, take Xavier back, and then if the drow come looking, we can be ready," Ewan suggested, seeing that an all-out fight with the drow figures could be a bad idea while people were not at full strength.
You split up and and look around, you eventually find that he is being held in the Drow’s quarters. They have bound his hands and gagged him so he can’t produce magic. Through the window you all see one Drow holding up a pink stone to Xavier’s head. He is wincing and trying to shake away from the effect, in pain.
You're all outside looking in through a window. There is a door to the room on the other side of the building. All four drow are in the room, surrounding Xavier.

Ewan returns to keeping the first watch, before waking up the next person on watch and going to rest for the evening.
The rest of Ewan and Andris’ watch go uneventful. Marley is awoken by the duo and she is set up to watch.

(Everyone is awake by this point)
Picking up his spear and shield Calelle stands by the door "Let's go talk to our friends"
"Aye, lets." Drakus gears up as well.

I’ll need a survival check and Perception check for once you get to where you decide. Which is definitely where?
