I was walking through Neriak one day, and I saw a young dark elf named Slyfoot. She carried The Staff of the Wisp. She is a very powerful dark elf. I believe an enchanter, if I am correct. One nuke with that staff, and my blood and bones would be all over Tunare. I walked up to the young broad and said, "M'lady Slyfoot, may I assist you with anything?" She challenged me to a drinking contest. I happily accepted. We went to the Inn in Darvar Manor, and told the barkeeper to keep them coming till one of us gave up. Unfortunately, I lost. I threw up on her while trying to exit the Inn. Once I threw up, and ran out the door, and as I was running, I yelled, "Sorry ma'am, until we meet again!" I then was walking down the street, and some big ugly trolls came up to me. They started pushing me around and trying to slash me with their blades. They mugged me! They told me to find Slyfoot and tickle her(what an odd set up ) I went and found her, and I tickled her. As soon as that happened, I had a dagger to my neck quicker than you can onomotopoeia. She said, "Don't try to fool me young dwarf, and let me remind you, don't EVER touch me!" I told her that I was set up and she walked me back to my Inn. But we didn't make it that far. We got into an argument, and she started to walk off. I then acted like I passed out. She came running up to me and said, "Gimley, Gimley, are you ok? What happened?" I opened my eyes and said, "Huh, what, where am I, and who are you?" She told me that she was Slyfoot, and that I was drunk. I knew that I was perfectly fine, and I tried to get up but couldn't. I then grabbed onto her staff to get up, and when I did, I fell straight back down. I said, "I guess I am going to just die out here." She agreed with me! She was supposed to carry me, but that plan never worked. She then started walking off, so I jumped up and told her I was just playing around so that she would come back to keep me safe. She helped me to my room at the Moradhim Inn. She asked me if I needed anything else, and I asked her if she would stay the night with me to make sure that the trolls would not come into my room and kill me. She said, "WHAT!" I told her about me eavesdropping on the trolls a couple days ago, and that they were going to attack Moradhim any time now. She then said that the trolls would not enter the town, but they will. These trolls are powerful. One troll came to Moradhim just 3 days ago, and killed 23 guards and 31 civilians. All in one little hit to the head. That troll left town without a scratch. She then said, "Why do you need me to stay, if they can take those guards and civilians, I definately can't take them." I told her to use her staff, but she still refused. She said she would take me to Freeport. So we rode to Freeport, and got me a room there. There were trolls everywhere. I was so worried. She told me of the different kinds of trolls that there were in Tunare. I went to my room and she left. I came downstairs about an hour later, and she was sitting at the bar drinking. (Again.) I went over to her and sat down and had a drink with her. We said nothing the whole time. Finally, I got up and walked out of the Inn. We have not spoken to each other since that day. But I hope to chat with her once again. She was a very helpful person and I appreciate what she did for me. Thank you Slyfoot!
