The Escape

by Meridi Korz

My mind is cloudy. My vision, skewed. Why did Erada not answer my call? She would give her life to know that I am safe. And yet, here we are, stranded.
 
Time is of the essence. Griya has mentioned an escape plan in three (3) days time. But I worry that will be too long. I must find Erada.
 
My companions and I must get to safety and we must do it now. The fierce Bugbear they call Clancy, I worry he will grow restless in this confined space. He helped me hide the bodies from upstairs but the look on his face when climbing back down told a story more than words ever could.

What's this? I hear commotion brewing. We must act fast...

Did he have knowledge or information? I trust my kin wholeheartedly... but, what if?
 
I digress. I must find Erada and must find her now. Perhaps, if she's safe, I can ask her of the Vedalken.
