[Kitanna]

Nilak had had trouble sleeping the last few nights. And he didn't like the idea of spending a day of drilling holes in the ice, but he didn't have much of a choice. He wanted treasure and it seemed the only way to ensure it was to take out these Elves.

He tried to get away with drilling as little as possible, but that had failed. Sernir had pushed an ax in his hand and watched him like a hawk as Nilak pounded away at the ice. Nilak grumbled and growled because it didn't appear that Sernir was doing much of anything. Nilak wanted nothing more than to take a knife to the Corsair's throat while he slept, but the Lossoth thought better.

Now Marreth's company hid from sight. They all watched as the Elves drew closer. They were weary and seemed to sense the traps laid out. Nilak watched as they tied themselves to together with rope. They were smarted then he thought. Nilak crouched down and watched intently as the Elves began to come across the ice.
