After our huddle upon rising from our rest, my pendant became warm to the touch and flashed intermittently. It may have been due to a message that came in on the scroll from the High Fairy.
It brought news that Nililitil’s forces had finally been able to break into the canyonlands’ entrance to this passage which we now know to be the dwarf Low-way.
What they found was most disturbing. All the dark elves in that vicinity had expired in place. What had been a formidable host the day before was now a carpet of empty husks.
Nililitil’s forces fell over one another in fleeing the sight. They did not want to fall prey to whatever had destroyed the dark elves.
Merlin will investigate and asks us to stay where we are for now, and to summon him to this place when the High Fairy messages next.
