Black Luke peered at the darkened figure standing in the light of the exit. All members of the group were wounded badly and Ceesul was dead. Only young Magandella, who during the previous conflicts either tossed daggers or got in lucky strikes when the fights were nearly over, was unhurt.
"Now what is all this about?" spoke the darkened figure.
"Stand forth and indentify yourself... Oh, it's you dwarf." Esmeralda said.
"Indeed only the one and only Varek, dwarf friend of the elves." states Rose.
"Never mind such talk, what are you doing draging the young one down here?"
"There was hardly any fighting at all, I did not even get to use any magic, and also i'm 50. In the ancient days i could get married and have children." Magandella beems.
"You better not!" Esmeralda, and Varek say in unison.
It was at this point Varek began to scrutinize Black Luke and scowls at the phrase "wayward traveler". as he inspects the bugbear shield emblem.
"So, whats the plan now?" Varek asks.
"We have decided to take this man to the Inn, and are coming back on the morrow, so help us carry my sister Abigale." said Esmeralda. "We need to tell the patrol about the Buheer and that Corporal Ceesul has been done in."
Standing at the upper ruins, the group see that the horses have either been stolen or have run off, Black Luke sees that his dressed rabbit is gone as well. Varek walks behind the group, inspecting Black Luke, 'leather armor, crossbow, and hand and a half sword'. Black Luke turns and glances at Varek.
Varek says, "Watching you."
