"I was walking with a few others back to the smithy when a dozen of them just jumped out from behind a building and out of the shadows. They grabbed us, and before we could even resist, they knocked us out. When we woke up, we were in a large underground area below the desert."
"Where was it?" Crithann asked, staring at her intently. "Can you point it out on the map?"

"The best of us," Balarn said softly.
"Says you!" Relinda snorted.
"We are still here, aren't we?" Balarn asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"What the heck do you mean?" Yogog asked.
