"I suppose... hmmm... Well Yama is special to me as she raised me, took care of me, influenced me to be the person I am today. I'm sure some of the others are the same way with someone or something close to them. For you it is different... I suppose your creators find you replaceable so they do not bond with you. But you have us now. We are your friends. Friends look out for each other, help each other, sometimes argue, but most of the time, they are good company. Like you are with Svana. You could consider her someone you are close to."

Duke looks at Ash for a few seconds. While its face and the red lights where its eyes would be betray no emotion, Ash does get the sense that it's looking directly into her eyes while it attempts to process the information that she gave it. "Declaration: This unit has approached you with multiple questions about things about humanoids that it did not understand. You answered each of them to the best of your ability. Thank you." The unit departs and begins thinking about what it spoke about with Ash. It does so for a while, not moving or speaking unless somehow disturbed.

Amara gives Ree a faint smile as she folds up her map, her left arm moving awkwardly in comparison to the fluidly moving right. "Not all of those entities are nasties, dear." She glances at Duke. "It's difficult to quantify exactly what makes certain humanoids connect. Some people say it's fate, others say it's luck. My personal experience is that people who care about you, that you care about back, is what sets them apart from the masses." Her hand unconsciously goes to the simple silver band around her ring finger.
Enkindle throws her hands in the air, and then gestures ovr to Talike. "Finally, someone wit' a bit of common sense! Fook'in hate this place." She says going from loud to muttering off-handedly. Then seeming to remembering the other woman's presence, the fire genasi awkwardly extends a hand. "I am... I go by Enkindle. It's... uh, a genasi fing. I fink. 'aven't really meet many a-..." She catches herself, and after mindfully drawing her ponytail away from Talike adds an awkward, "So, hi.."
Ash looks to Amara after Duke leaves, speaking to her in Elven. "Et si on vous désignait comme navigateur? Pour que nous puissions utiliser votre carte?"
eHow about we designate you as navigator? That way we may use your map?
She looks to watch the others quietly as they talk.

During the night, Step, Ash, and even Ree'lyn - had a very strange and unnerving dream. Your sleep is troubled and fitful, filled with strange dreams and disturbing images. Dark shadows seem to move and reach out toward you as you wander lost through endless mazes of tunnels. Oily tentacles slide to brush up against you, while a great buzzing and howling rises in the distance. Suppurating wounds burst open in clouds of spores or crawling masses of maggots or insects. You three wake up in a cold sweat from these nightmares, feeling as though something is out there in the dark depths — something far worse than the drow.
Jezzika, standing off to the side keeping watch during the night, turns to Ash. "A nightmare.."she says, softly. "Yes. I can sense something is wrong as well."She turns to Ree'lyn. "Someone, or something..has invaded our home. This is not normal. It feels wrong. There is a great evil in our underground world now."
DAY TWO PACE:FAST ENCOUNTERS:13, 4, 9 PURSUIT LEVEL: THREE
As you all made your way through a long, twisting cavern, a massive tremor set off a massive rockfall. Each party member must attempt three DC 12 Dexterity saving throws, 12 bludgeoning damage on each failed save. Any incapacitated player is buried under rubble, taking an additional 6 bludgeoning damage.The drow pursuit level gets reduced by 1, as the path behind you is now completely blocked.

It would be a lie to say that Svana wasn’t impressed with the amount of information Ree’lyn knew about the flora and fauna of the Underdark and how willing he was to inform her (and to those who were paying attention) about it. Gaining knowledge was something she lived for, something she was born to do, and the Underdark was something foreign to her. The circumstance wasn’t ideal, but... At least she wasn’t with the Tashal’s.
“Mm, I’ll have to see the next time I summon her if it would be possible for her to be a ‘night hunter’. She does enjoy flying more than scuttling around.” She laughs gently. “I have to say your knowledge is very... extensive. What, erm, were you before all this? A scholar of sorts?”
With Ash's suggestion however, Svana raises a hand to the drow to stop him from speaking. "Actually, we can continue this at a later time. I'm a lot more tired than I thought..."
"Eep!"

Duke punches out of the rocks covering it, just in time to see Svana lose consciousness as rocks struck her on her head. Duke flies into hyper efficiency mode, tossing rocks off of her with a quickness that no one knew a giant robot could possess. It gently picks up her body and deposits her in front of Amara. "Observation: You have healing capabilities. Declaration: Svana is unconscious and near death. This unit requests that you save her."
Quick reflexes and the knowledge of the erratic behavior of the Underdark unstable structures, Ree'lyn notices the tremors and sound of the rubble fast enough to move away quickly. However, he notices Svana didn't make it quick enough and tries as he can to pull her out.

"Oh, Enkindle. Because of the fire thing. Nice. I'm Talike. So how did you get down here?"
Talike continues to eat, before adding, "Sorry if I seem like I'm prying. It just seems weird that the drow kidnap random people."
