"I will stay out with you, there is a fine oak over by the smithy, with broad branches to provide a comfortable place to sling a hammock or roll out a bed roll. It has been some time since I have done so, and would be refreshing to the spsirit. I believe that human's say, go native."
Lorae nods to the others. "When ever you are ready Alexandria, I will join you."

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Elendil
Seeing that Bronwyn is concerned about Fate, Elendil helps Bronwyn get him to the gentry and then leaves the mage with him.
"I will go get our things, that we hid," she tries not to mention Buttercup by name or the reason they had had to hide the things in the first place.
From the moment she left the keep she whistled for Talon. Her heart leaped as a familiar Whoohoooo sounded overhead and Talon circled her head. She gave him the hand signal to scout close and then went to where their things had been stowed. It does not take her long, and soon she is back with her pack on her back plus Talon's considerable bulk as he rode on the special perch she had build for him on her pack. She was also lugging the panniers from Bronwyn's pony.
She set them down next to the tiny human teenager, "If you want I will go bury Buttercup after I have done my investigations."
After Bronwyn's reply she stood slowly, wincing even with the extra care she took. Now was the time to see Bart about being allowed to search for evidence to tie the Drow, the dead Drow, she ammended in her mind, since there was the Eilistraeeyn Drow here. Before going she reached into her quiver a drew out an arrow, a human made arrow, the one that killed Buttercup.
She waited till Bart was away from the others, not sure of how they react to her, especially after the first female called her a thief. Even after Elendil explained who she was and why she was here, it would seem that the young human woman had not shared the information with her compatriots.
Elendil moved over to Bart and nodded deferentially to him using all her training in courtly graces to do so in the proper manner, neither too low, nor too high for the station which was eluded to, as landed man. “Master Bartholomew, I ask permission to pursue the purpose of my mission here; to gather information about the Goblin activity and about the Drow involvement, which was unexpected.”
She waited politely for her answer, pausing to glance at the Drow. Strange as it seemed she might have to resort to speaking with the young woman concerning the Drow that Elendil had killed.
Once Bart replies, Elendil brought the arrow out from behind her back, "This arrow killed Bronwyn's pony, Buttecup. It is not a Goblin, Orc, or Gnoll arrow, but human made. I do not blame the shooter, as we were out in the woods across from the Northern Gate. In the heat of battle one can be injured by friendly fire. Buttercup was a beloved pet of Bronwyn's childhood and her only connection to her family, she took her death very hard. I will not tell her it is not goblin, I don't think it will help anything at this time."

Zara appeared and stared up at the greeen Dragonette in the tree. "Ok, Uncle Alex you can come down and change they are going to be hear very soon."
She nodded to Oko. "Well what do you think of my campsite."
"Over the top of the ridge you can see down onto the Barrens. I figured this place was below the rim so I fire would not show. There is a great spring in that rocky cleft with just enough of a pool to water the horses and we can use a bucket to get water by just holding it under the lip of the spring."
As the other rode up. "Ok who's doing dinner, I'm starving."
"Say Moraglin, do you have the spell darkfire, that way no one can see it."
"Did anybody shoot anything for dinner, then again maybe we do not want to eat anything the lives so close the the Barrens. Who know what sort of changes wild magics have made to them, rabbits might be poisonous."
"Hey, Uncle Alex have you changed yet?"
Once again Zara's mind and the subject of her conversation, or was that monologue, quickly switched tracks.

No, there was no offer of reward or payment, Elendil agreed to gather the information about the Goblins in the south. In this case its was elf helping elf, her flaws can be positive at times.

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Elendil
(For the sake of clarity, this happened before Bartholopmew ever entered the Keep.)
Elendil looked to the older human, Bartholomew as he spoke. When he finished she stood and moved over to him, at least he of all the others he was only one who had not spoken out against her. As much as she wanted out of this place, she had a duty to carry out. She needed the information that could be gleaned for the Keep so that she could return to the Forest with everything that she could find out about the whole set up and the especially the Drow involvement.
“I am Elendil Ithilmegilwen. I was sent here by the Council of Elders of the Forest of Teythir to verify the rumors of a gathering of Goblins and their ilk in the area. For now I must escort Bronwyn to recover her equipment, but I will return to gather the information I need.”
Elendil took a calming breath, she could almost hear the clamor of the others saying they were not there in the front lines of the fight and they had no rights to anything. When she spoke it was straight forward and matter of fact.
“I would also like to lay a claim for a share of the spoils of Bolikar and the Drow, for Bronwyn and myself. It was Bronwyn’s first fireball fried a large number of Goblins at the gate, keeping them from closing it, and my arrow and her second fireball together knocked Bolikar off the battlements and it was my arrow the pierced the heart of the Drow and took her out of the sky." She sighs and adds, "We may not have been in the front lines, but we were in the battle.”
She nods to him and then turns back to Bronwyn, now visible.
“Let us get Fate inside to rest and then we need to get our things.” Which would mean a sad return to Buttercup. Elendil truly regretted causing the death of the pony, if she had been left back further, without Eledil pulling her toward the gate of the Keep, then Buttercup might still be alive. She owed Bronwyn a pony.

We could use a fighter and if the Dwarf shown as you avatar is an indication of what you like to play, then a Dwarf fighter would be great. Go to Recruitment Treads and find it. Players are about 8-10 in D&D and I then pass out some special abilities.

Alea looks ahead, it is the only way for them now. With a Prayer to Corellon she moves forward towards the gap.
"We must move quickly," she says to the others, but quickly where and why? They had no knowledge of the underground ways and no ring to guide them.
Alea was left to blind faith alone.

As for N'tel'Quess copies of the Elven Grey Company lists:
N'Tel'Quess not of the people (drow & others)
quessir people(elves), or elven people
From what I understand the phrase means not of the Elven People. That is what I meant when I used it. Not the Linnix was not of the people-in general. 
As for Drow-Elven mythology, the story of the cursing of the Drow and of Elistraee has gotten changed in a number of publications. In the first D&D books there was no Elistraee and Lolth was not Coreellon wife. So if there is something different of them for the Forgotten Realms, maybe, those in the know (hint, Hint, Kaylen) can give us the way it should to be. With you as a Drow and I as an elf, there would be some tilting of th actuals facts, but we should know how Kaylen wants the mythology to go in his world. I do not have a FR book on Deities so I can not look it up.
Heaven knows what they did to the deities in the 4th addition.
HEHEHEHEHE
As for finger converstations I play in a WOT game where Maidens of the Spear have an entire language, and not just a group of signals that the other of the Aiel people use. I can tell you that being able to hold a conversation, even with tied hands, in silence is really fun.

Subject: Elendil
Enough!” cried a fully armored warrior. “We have won a great victory here! That much cannot be disputed, no matter the perspective. We should embrace this hard-fought battle in which we all shed our sweat and blood.”
He stopped, standing a few feet apart from the Drow who had so quickly gotten back up from her blackout. His steel-grey eyes surveyed everybody as he stood tall, back-straight and shoulders squared. “Should petty ownership of material things shatter this? I know not why any of you came to this place, this day. Nor will I pretend to. But it is quite clear that if greed is the reason for your arrival, it was not for the good and well-being of those who require liberation from this tyrant and his army of evil.”
Oh, Corellon, not another. One more who speaks without knowing and from the tone of his words a Temple Knight or a Paladin. Elendil rolled her eyes upwards and paused to look to Bronwyn.
Was there no end to these people?

Lorae smiles, "It is a gift of mine to see the auras about you, from those auras I know much of what you are like. Both you and Justin are very similar in your spirituality and you abilities to think and communicate. You are both are good by nature."
"It was not such a shot in the Dark that I acted in your behalf."
"I was glad to vouch for you, though I know the Sgt meant no harm, I can understand why he took you as a prisoner."
"When we first arrived in the Forest of Cormanthor, we landed in the middle of a fight between two groups of Drow. One of those who followed Lolth and the other Elistraee. We were able to aid them though we lost two beloved members of outr team. Now, it seems, the Forest has given us two new members in return, at least I am hoping so for both of you would fit the prophecies."

You may not know my deity, just as I do not know yours. I follow the Light and the Light is one who puts great importance in the choices one makes as they go through life. It is by our choices we are judged when we pass from this existence.
I choose to intervene because you were not evil, though the Sgt could not verify that, I could. I did not expect Justin's involvement, this added a bit of excitement to the day."

Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: Elendil
The reason the Drow that came stalking towards her was not dead was that Elendil's constant alertness caught sight of the symbol of Elistraee on a brooch that the Drow woman wore.
“You sound like a Matron Mother,” Aelistae commented in the Common trade tongue of the Surface, as she neared the elf. “‘The best Drow is a dead Drow’ or ‘The best Fairy is lying upon an altar to Lolth’? Is there any difference? Both are rooted in hatreds that feed off one another: Aryvaandar against Miyeritar; Illythiiri against Aryvaandari; traitors against surfacers; the exiled against those who cast them down. Can you really be my judge? Is your blood so pure that you can condemn all of mine? Do you claim to know what lies in my heart or in my soul?”
Elendil could say yes as to pure bloodlines, but it would not matter to this angry young woman. As Corellon was her god, and Corellon was the Father of Elistraee, having sent her with her mother Lolth to insure that Drow would have a choice of a good deity, she could respect the followers of Elistraee. This young woman had made up her mind that Elendil could not make the distinction, the Drow was blaming her for doing the same thing the Drow was now doing to Elendil, assuming.
It was all Aelistae could do to keep herself from striking the elf. Her slight frame trembled with rage, her hand was clenched to tightly upon her blade that her knuckles strained through her flesh as she spoke, “Or should I be your judge? An elf swooping down after a battle to pillage what she can from the fallen; a vulture stripping the dead of all belongings like an animal; an individual so crude that she dares to label my friends N’Tel’Quess – ‘not people’. Should I strike you down? Should I take vengeance for all my kinsmen that your kind have slain?”
Elendil held back a retort that the same could be said for her side, but that would not help the problem. The Drow was overwrought talk to her would be worthless, but one correction she did make, “N’Tel’Quess means “Not Elf.”
“No,” Aelistae continued after a moment’s pause, and after she had sheathed her sword, “because I am not those people. I am not what you think me to be. I have never harmed one of my surface cousins in anger, and I will not break that holy oath for you.”
Why did the Elistraeen assume that Elendil, who had already stayed her hand, even with her sword ready, would mean to do further violence to the Drow follower of the Dark Maiden, she had to wonder.
“Lay down those items you stole. You have no authority here. That man is now Lord here, and you are in his home, stealing his property,” the Drow priestess added, with a quick gesture at Bart who was standing nearby amid the dead. “But more than that, that woman whose naked corpse you slobber over was my kinsman as well as my enemy, my sister as well as my greatest foe. Even in death she deserves some dignity.”
“Lay those items down, and we can discuss what happened here. We all have stories to tell I think. And after they have been told, and you have the information that you seek, we can go our separate ways in peace. Or we can fight, and I can kill you. What would you rather do?”
She listened to the woman and added it to what the other female had said. Elendil was seething, her body became more rigid, her pupils contracted, her face was set in a mask of cold indifference. Her mother and father would have recognized it in an instant, knowing when their daughter had come to a position where there was great pique, indignation at the accusations of thievery, of slobbering of all things, and desecrating a dead Drow follower of Lolth, by the admission of this Drow Elistraeen. And what did Drow do when they had Light Elves’ bodies she thought angrily to herself? Her eyes flashied on the words, Even in death she deserves some dignity.
Elendil had not burned or carved holy symbols on the body of the victim, she did not spit or splash them with other bodily fluids. Elendil had not dismembered the Lotlite or fed her to a raving mad deity, yet all those things had been done to Light Elves in the hands of the Drow.
If this Drow had heard the saying; The best Drow is a dead Drow, then did she not hear what Elendil had told the other female about evidence. It seemed not or the Drow had ignored that part hearing only what she wanted to.
In silence, Elendil drops everything she had carefully gathered from the dead Drow one by one it in front of the Elistraeen facing her.
This young woman clearly, like the other, was overwrought and not listening to reason. Words would do nothing to change her manner. Elendil remain silent and stared at her for a moment more. They had both prejudged her in a far more derogatory light than she had of them, even as the Drow spoke of Elendil’s misjudgments the Elistraeen was misjudging her
She turns away when she hears Bronwyn call out, a sudden flash of pain at her too rapid twisting of unhealed wounds causes her to wince, as she looks for Bronwyn and does not see her.
“Bronwyn, reveal yourself!” When Elendil can see the young mage she heads towards her. “As soon as he is able, we will leave. We were not in the forefront of the fighting. We have no claim to anything here. I am a thief and a desecrater of the dead Drow.” She clips the words out in a voice meant only for Bronwyn.
For now, Eledil focuses her anger on the bodies of the goblins as she begins to throw off the dead to free Fate, ignoring any further pain. If the either of the young women had really looked at her, instead of ranting angrily at her they might have noticed a number of bloody gashes in her clothes and armor, the type a fighter gets when they are attacked.
Pain allowed her to use her anger and put it to good use, it was something she had had to learn to deal with. For an elf, she had a fiery temper. Learning to control it had been a major obstacle in her life, it was one of the reasons she ended up choosing to be a Ranger. In a sense was running away, but it also gave her time alone to work controlling her vexations. Oh, many of them were of her own making, as she was a perfectionist. As a child, she had wanted to impress her impressive parents by being an Elf among Elves. She was her own worse critic. Many of her tempers were aimed at herself. In time, with the aid and counsel of a friend she learned to accept herself and control her temper. As Arylon, a sage friend to a young elf in need, had wisely explained to her, “Identify what is causing the anger and endeavor to fix it, it you can not fix it, then turn from it. Anger must not rule you, but you must rule your anger. Well there was no way to change the misjudgments of the young women, so she had done what Arylon advised.
She reaches for another body to heave aside until Fate is clear.

Subject: Elendil
"Just shut up." Linnix says sharply, cutting the woman's rant short, "So, let me get this straight. You are that stupid sniper from earlier that shot at my sister...
Elendil turns back on the young woman, "I will forgive your hasty words, for you are injured. First, I was shooting at the enemy trying to shut the gates, Second I shot only at Goblins, Orcs Gnolls, Bolikar, and Drow. If your sister got in the way I am sorry.”
“moseying about like some thief, and you expect us to just stand aside and let you take everything for yourself when you're not one of the people who nearly died in this conflict?
"If I wanted to steal anything I would have snuck in and out of here without you even noticing. As it was I walked in openly and was making sure all were dead." She disliled being called a thief, it rankled.
"You are worried about Loot? All you care about is the monetary value things, but for me it is evidence. Evidence that could help piece together why the Drow was working with Bolikar."
"Who do you think you are? You have a lot of nerve, and no sense.
"Seems to me I gave you my name and why I am here. You, as yet, have not done the same."
It's disgraceful; my sister, what you'd call a Drow, is capable of more courteousness and politeness than any elf I've met so far in my life."
Linnix snorts, "You remind me of this stuck-up woman who believed herself to be some sort of angel. Don't kid yourself as being some sort of hero; if you were so heroic, you'd be in the front line, paying for the reward with blood. Don't worry, you'll get your proper share, but nothing more. You do not gain without loss. One would think, having lived so long, an elf would know this. Apparently not."
Now it is Elendil’s turn to look astonished. She points back to the Drow she had dropped. “That witch is your sister?!” Elendil ignors the rest of Linnix’s ranting staring at the girl in disbelief. She and Bronwyn had been fighting, hiding, rescuing, and running from the Goblins and Gnolls for some time, Elendil had emptied her heal belt to stay on her feet. She did not understand the bit about angel and hero , but as for a paying by blood, she had.
She gave Linnix a final look, “There were many front lines in this battle.” It was a simple flat statement beyond which she would say not more, the girl was irrational, anyone who claimed the Drow witch as a sister, had to be. She then turned to locate Bronwyn.
