Moonlite__Syren The rest of the guards who had wrapped their pwifwis around them watched as their colleagues fell from where they stood. The guards then took to the upper canopy. Climbing up the rock formations out of the line of the attack.
The other guards, who were hidden inside the stalagmites used the portals inside to transport to other stalagmites and fired a few darts in the perimeter where their unfortunate kin had just fallen. Then before their enemy would trace their line of fire, they'd transport to a different stalagmite and wait. ((Before we continue, did your character hop the fence?)) ((No,I haven't. I've had no reason to, the gate never opened and the challenge was issued outside the city gates.)) The darts whipped past Flamgra,just dodging them every time. If not for his armor,he would be laying in a heap on the ground by now.He had a hard time locating his target,an even harder time now that the guards were teleporting between Stalagmites. He needed an opening,for his enemy to slip up. Flamgra could set a trap,but then he would be exposed and the bowmen would surely pick him off. How much ammunition could they possibly have in those Stalagmites?

((@Flamgra smile ) The guard captain noticed that the slaughtering had died down. Indicating that the intruder had taken into hiding after the archers had started to throw off their line of attack. The guard captain then signaled for his men to stall. He wanted to have his fun with the intruder and that there way the archers would be able to identify the perimeter and begin their fire once they were signaled to do so.
The captain then swept through the grounds. Searching for his opponent. The tiniest wind, the tiniest sound of rocks crumbling caught his attention. Sweeping back into the shadow of a leaning stalagmite, the captain threw out his ventriloquist voice again and this time it came from the stalagmites themselves, "Where are you, intruder? Are you afraid now that you have faced your match? Don't be shy. Come on out. Its between you and me now."
~~~~~
((@Zara smile ) "Why would you like a short term contract if I had asked you earlier if this was not going to be a temporary alliance? To be honest m'dear I wrote these up to apply to whoever would request an alliance from me. That's probably why they may appear vague. If you would like to revise this then I'm sure we can possibly come up with a few things to make it more clear and personal between our Houses."

Flamgra was no ventriloquist,but by speaking loud enough;he could possibly bounce his voice off of the stalagmites. Creating a large feild of echo.
"HAHA AH HAHAHAHA.. A Feeble attempt,by a feeble man. Yet there is one thing you forget,even a shadow sphere can be dispelled by the light.." Flamgra rushed between the stalagmites,retrieving his spent equipment. Focusing slightly he augmented them with fire and hurled a couple in different directions,hoping to catch even a glimpse of his target. The archers had stopped firing and he would need to signal them to start up again. That is when he would strike,swiftly and without mercy.

((Just so you know he isn't in the shadow sphere anymore. I actually make those stationary and they become ineffective after the fourth post.))
The doppelganger stood in the middle of the path outside of the gate. He then reached up and pulled down his hood of his pwifwi thus exposing his heat signature.
"Feeble am I? Here I stand to show myself to you yet you still hide in shadow. To who is feeble now?"

Flamgra laughed as the man exposed himself,he could peg him off with his knives from here; but where was the fun in that? So Flamgra waltzed out of the shadow,grinning at his opponent. The moment Flamgra was visable an archer fired a poison dart at him,it hit and stuck in his leather bracer; but it did not go through. Flamgra began acting woosey and purposely fell foreward, doing a collapsing roll,ending at his opponents feet. His opponents pride should let down his guard even momentarily, so for now,he'd lay face down in the dirt; right at his enemies feet.

Instead of showing pride, the guard captain did just the opposite and looked up angrily at the towering stalagmites, "I TOLD YOU ALL TO STALL YOUR FIRE!"

Flamgra spun on the ground and tripped his opponent,bringing him down almost instantly. Pinning the guards sword arm and knocking away his weaponry,holding his venomous dagger to the guard captains throat.
"To truly win a battle,you must win mentally,I wanted you to reveal yourself. I had this planned all along,how does it feel? Do you fear death? Now,sleep forever.." Flamgra plunged his blade into the captains throat,pinning him to the ground by his neck. Some would see this as a dishonorable way to defeat ones foe, not Flamgra. As long as his victim was dead thats what mattered,he did not care what looked pretty; this was pretty to him. Standing up he removed the blade from the guards throat,blood poured all over the ground where the captain lay. Looking up,he raised his voice and spoke.
"If you value your lives,you will open this gate. I mean the Matron no harm,this whelp merely got in my way of an aduiance."
((You said you wanted him dead anyways,but if you have a problem with how I ended his life,I will edit it))

After the guard captain had gurgled the last time and now laid dead on the ground, still with the shocked expression on his face.
Then coming from down the path was a cloaked guard. He had no weapons in hand, just a chained human slave which he dragged behind him.
"Now that the guard captain is dead the feud has died with him. We will not attack you but we are ordered by the Matron to disarm anyone who is not a Priestess of Lolth or a Matron. Matron Mother Lariexith is currently in a meeting with Gaundroth. She will meet with you shortly. But, we don't want the Matrons to be alarmed when they come out to find guards dead on the ground and you, a stranger who is armed. Its a precaution we must all take."

"I understand the precautions.." Flamgra hesitantly handed over his spider dagger, combat knife, shark tooth knife and kunai. His spear and swords were the last to be handed over. Once he had, Flamgra kept his wits about him. Secretly pulling the dart that had stuck in his bracer and slipping it under his armor; should this be a trap.

((He can't lead you to the Guest House just yet. Lariexith is meeting with Zara in there. It'd be too crowded and its Matron business only. Please fix the last part of your post.))
The cloaked guard took the weapons and handed them off to the chained rothe. Even after the weapons had been handed off the cloaked guard still stood there and made a motion with his hand, "The package too, please."

Flamgra had almost totally forgotten about the package. He lift it up and turn to face the guard.
"Vithin kyorl" Flamgra cursed,while fighting the guard captain his gift had become cold.
"The package contains food from the surface, something they call roast bee-f and peet-chez, The bee-f is made of an animal and the peet-chez are a type of surface fruit, be sure to warm the meat before presenting it to the Matron,it is best served warm to hot." Flamgra said handing the bag to the guard as well.

The cloaked guard nodded as he took the package from the drow, "I will do so. We have mages that are able to heat things such as food. We know a lot about preparing surface foods. It will interesting to have you on our team when our Matron decides to begin our next surface raid."

Flamgra grinned and stood by the gate,waiting for it to open.
"Perfect,I have a town on the surface that I captured over night,it is currently governed by the Dunmer of the surface. It was originally a Sylvan elf town" Flamgra laughed at the thought,with an even larger armada at his side; he could capture bigger cities,as his and the Matrons power grew,they could one day even rule the surface. Becoming legends among the Drow people.
"We could use it as a base camp and stockade of weaponry."

The cloaked guard shoved the slave back to the direction of the House. The slave stumbled and ran up the path to place the stranger's weapons into safe keeping. The guard then turned back to the drow, "I will be sure to rely your triumphs to the Matron. You seem like an interesting individual to work with," and with that the guard departed and went up the path to prepare the food for the Matron.
The other guards stayed rooted to their positions maintaining their guard but not throwing any threatened poses.

Flamgra sighed,still stuck on the other side of the gate.
"I guess I will just pull up a seat and wait" Flamgra said,walking over to a giant mushroom and sitting down. Patiently waiting for his audiance with the Matron. He hated having to wait,but atleast he got a chance to rest. The plate he wore was heavy and heated up quickly,he didn't mind wearing it if he was in battle; he was too focused on other things. But when he was just standing around waiting,he felt the full weight of his armor. So sitting down was the best thing to do for now.
"I hope her meeting ends soon." Flamgra said laying down,staring at the plant growing just above the gate. A spider crawled up next to him and perched herself on his chest,just below the steel plate. She seemed to enjoy the warmth of his body.
"Pretty little thing aren't you? Hmm.. I shall call you Keeshe" Flamgra said, gently stroking the spiders back,she didn't seem to mind at all.
