"If we are going underground, we should probably prepare the lanterns before we go too far." Harper said to Straw as Althea called Zed over to look at something. Not giving much care about the ongoing conversation between the other two, Harper helped Straw with the lanterns.

Hearing Althea call him, Zed went towards the woman to see what she was trying to show him. Looking towards the direction the woman was pointing, Zed looked carefully at the tracks she found. Crouching to get a better look at the print, he could the partial boot print that she was talking about. Out of slight curiosity, Zed brushed his fingers against the print. Although most of the moisture has evaporated from the print, it was still moist from the recent rain that has occurred. "It appears that someone was here either during the rain or slightly afterwards. Let's hope that is was a traveler that sought out shelter during the rain and nothing more. Either way, it would be best if we kept our guard up around Straw and if possible search the surrounding area in case the traveler is still in the area or turns out to be more than one little traveler." Standing up, Zed looked towards Straw and Harper who were preparing for the next stage of their journey. "For now, it might be best if we keep this between the two of us. It could be more problematic than good if Straw knew the danger that he could be in. He needs to make sure he keeps his focus on the main goal and not about an issue that may or may not arise. We should keep Harper alert but until we find anymore evidence of someone here let's leave it as it is. I'd rather not have the girl hyped up over nothing."

"Straw has done very good this time." A second drow whispered to the first, keeping her voice low and out of reach from the unsuspecting travelers. Although strong and very resilient, the dwarf that was given to them last time was old and wouldn't bring as much of a profit as the younger batch that Straw brought this time. "Yes, very good."
