Faruom had held Nori back as the battle between Falin and his attacker ensued, Nori could see that the man was the stronger fighter and wanted to help, but Faruom reminded him that he had trouble lifting his Axe and that swinging it would be near impossible for now. Nori sighed realising that his companion was right.
Seeing the others with the dwarf they decided to turn back to look for Haydn. They ran back the way they had come. When they came to the place where they had left Haydn, Faruom crouched down to the ground examining the foot prints for clues, he then made his way to the far wall then back again to the footprints.
"They went this way and it looks like Haydn may have been unconconsious" seeing the dwarf's look of confusion he pointed out the drag marks on the ground, that heading off to a dark side passage. As Faruom got back up Nori nodded his agreement the pair then silently followed the tracks, stopping every so often to listen for sounds of their quarry.
It wasn't long before they heard voices coming from a room to the side of the passage, they stopped crouching behind a large out crop of rocks , they could not make out all the words but they could definitely hear a womans voice, the crack of a whip and Haydn's cries.
They had only been waiting for a short while when the young, pale skinned woman strode out of the the room forcing haydn forwards in front of her. They saw the flash of the dagger in her pale hand. They waited for her to get far enough ahead, so they could follow safely, "keep to the shadows" Faruom whispered to Nori "and move quietly" he added looking at the heavy set dwarf. Nori just nodded then followed him into the shadows.
