"Tis a fine evening!" mused the first as the pair picked its way through the woods. "It is cool, there is a slight breeze and I can smell the cooking bread and meat! We will feast well tonight after our work". The woman beside him lols her eyes and sighs "Always you have half a mind on frivolry and frolick Illmryn" she scorns. "Think about where you are at in this moment. Focus, we have a job to do!". The pair silently edge their way through the trees. Sighting wisps of chimney smoke, they slow and duck behind a bush. A shrill howl drones through the night drawing the pairs attention. Peaking from their hiding place they spot their third associate and nod in acknolwedgment. It would be a good night tonight...
All was well with the Bucks as they busied themselves wih their chores. The harvest was bountiful, their animals had sired well and they would have enough to finally move away from this Drow cursed place. Selena Buck had just finished her sweeping outside when a whistle caught her ear. Her father was seeing to the animals in the barn as usual. He had scant chance to hear her screams or the cackle of her assalents for the noises of the hungry cows.
Rizzsen hummed to himself as he cleaned his blade on the human woman's skirt. She had caught him just as he crept into the bedroom. She was swiftly dispatched with a perfectonists skill. The boy had provided minor entertainment with a large kitchen knife, but he had grew tired of his preys constant lack of skill. Challenge was what he desired. Rising towards the door at the smell of smoke, he was joined by Akordia the woman. She scowled at the house and spat "worthless surface dwellers. Is this all they had? A few animals and a shack?! This was more mercy than anything else! Worthless human scu...". Her words trail off at a familar yelp and then moment later a strangulated scream. Swiftly joining their third comarade, Rizzsen and Akordia surveyed the scene. Their third associate, the fool Illmryn was limping back towards the bloody body of the girl. Kicking her visciously, he grimaces and glares at the other two "Her bastard father got me with this!" pointing at a pitch fork. "Well, he couldnt save you could he! Eh?! Filthy human! Why I soiled myself with you i'll never know!" he screams at the girl. Drawing his crossbow, he levels it at the girl. "Allow me to finish what I started..."[/b] Illmryn's mocking sneer turned to a howl of shock and pain as Akordia smashed her boot into his wound. Howling on the ground, Illmryn looks up at her with shock and surprise. Akordia looks on with calm amusement "The girl will spread the word of this massacre. All of the Dales will again know fear and hatred. Leave her, our work here is done...for now".
With that the three slip away into the woods. They would return soon enough, with greater numbers. Resistance was minimal here, but now the Dales folk would be prepared. No matter. They would all die anyway.
