"Zed!" Althea yelled as the tunnel went dark, unaware that the swordsman was engaged with another of the drow slavers. Only a second after the light went out, the archer loosed her arrow at the spot where an attacker had been, but whether it found it's target, she could not tell. 

Dropping the bow, she reached for the short sword that hung at her hip and managed to elbow Straw in the process. "Straw, get out of here! Run!" she told him, still not realizing the part he was playing in this. 

Haelerin, the dark elf that had ambushed Harper along with Rhyldaer, moved toward the fumbling archer. "Friendship is the mother of betrayal, darkness is the father," he said. 

Althea desperately swung her weapon toward the voice, but it met only thin air as Haelerin easily stepped out of the way of the wild swing.
