Naradril slowly picked himself up from the dirt floor of the Old Tybold Mine, having been tossed inside by his assailants.
His head swam. He felt nauseous. He could taste blood in his mouth and he ached all over.
"Vithing kivvil..." He muttered to himself, trying to recall the Yath'sargtlin's last words. He remembered seeing him in chains, at the mercy of a half-darthiiri and an Eilastreann male he thought he had seen before.
"So much for what would have been a substantial reward..." He cursed under his breath, punching the nearby wall in anger.
He had managed to defeat the Eilastreann faern, he recalled - but then everything went black...
"Guess I'll have to bring the news to the Illharess anyway..." He shrugged, not too thrilled with the idea of reporting his failure, and continued back down to his home in the depths below.
