Cattie-Brie set an arrow to Taulmaril's string, then loosed, the shot piercing a brigand's breastplate. She heard a crack behind her, and turned as a second brigand rushed her. The brigand's mace knocked Taulmaril from her grasp, and she drew Khazid'hea. She swung the sentient blade at the brigand, but he ducked underneath the swing and rammed his mace into her stomach, stunning her and causing her to drop her sword.

"Shit," she cursed as she retreated from the brigand.

He raised his mace.

"I'm gonna have some fun with you before you die, wench," he sneered, and the young woman saw a bulge in his pants, before an arrow pierced his leather cuirass, killing him instantly.

Cattie-Brie rolled to where Khazid'hea still laid on the ground, snatching it up. A dark-skinned elf with human-looking eyes stood before her, a bow hanging limp in one hand, and a sword hanging from one hip. The woman's skin had the same ebony hue as a drow, sending a flicker of unease through Cattie-Brie. Cattie-Brie sheathed Khazid'hea and grabbed Taulmaril. She set an arrow to her string and took aim at the woman.

"Xun naut tremma abbil d'Drizzt d'qu'ellar Do'Urden. Usstan tlun naut ghil ulu jivvim dos. Inbalas usstan ssinssril dos harmed, dos orn'la tlu elghinyrr xor injured jal'yur*," the dark-skinned woman said in a language Cattie-Brie recognized as drow, her hands raised in surrender.

While Cattie-Brie could not understand the words, there was something calming in the woman's tone that made her lower Taulmaril.

"I don't know if you understand me, but if this is a trick...if you mean me harm, I'll kill you."

The woman nodded.

"Siyo usstan kampi'un.**"

Suddenly a pain exploded in Cattie-Brie's back, and the elf lunged, drawing her long and slender curved blade as Cattie-Brie's vision faded to black.

*Do not fear, friend of Drizzt of House Do'Urden. I am not here to hurt you. If I wanted you harmed, you would be injured or dead by now.

** Yes I understand
