Loud as a pack of drunken dwarves!! Well, not THAT bad...

Nightfall

Sigh. Know that my sisters and Braveheart are trying be stealthful here but by my standards they sound like a bunch of mountain dwarves stomping about here in the caverns in full platemail. Drunken dwarves at that . . .and by the muttered swearings I hear them give time to time they know it as well.

...

Well, they're not THAT loud, but still it is kind of jarring for me. Not everyone can be gifted with elfin grace, you know. They will soon enough IF (big qualifier that) our plan works by some miracle.

THEN, if we get away safely and quietly enough we shall ALL change (including me). I like my new self and all but it doesn't mean I need to keep a face that the dragoness has already seen. The change my face, eye coloration and hair color is a given for me. Maybe a name change is excessive but better overly cautious than not enough.

Hm...maybe the idea of having the mage teleport us to a faraway (undetermined) land where (which'll have Wood Elves but goddess knows what else) may be too MUCH, but . . .

Anyway, we'll see about the last if we get to that part...

"Peace . . . soon enough we'll be there and you're not doing as badly at being quiet as you fear," I whisper to them both. Partly to allay their frustrations for in actuality they really aren't as clumsy and noisy as I may have inferred earlier there. Partly to calm my own nerves.

We are close....

Indeed, sooner than expected we...

Come across what passes for the dragoness' minions who are guarding her caverns... They haven't seen us yet and we dispatch them easily enough.

Guess we are on the right track because this is . . .sort of looking familiar. My sisters are in agreement on this...

1. Soon enough...
