He hurried through the forrest, following the tracks until he caught up with them, he shimmied through the trees, following them until the oppertune momment came. He was so busy keeping an eye on the girls that he hadnt noticed the forrest getting denser and denser . Suddenly the boars halted. “I hear something” said one brownie to another. Then an arrow came whistling through the trees hitting embedding it self in the brain of one of the boar. “Run” aid the brownies scampering toward the nearest tree, leaving the two girls on the ground. Joseph raced over to them. “I'm so sorry. Said Joseph” I promise I'll never leave you like that again” he said hugging the two baddly bruised girls.


“What have we here” came a lilting voice. “ I think we might of hit the jackpot here Huono”. Human meat is very rare in these parts, these days and the girls, what pretty girls they'll fetch a fair price too”. “Aye that they will” replied Huono, The two materialised from the bushes, tall and muscular with pointed ears and dressed in fine elven garb. “Get up shouted the first elf” brandishing an elven blade. “We don't want any trouble” said Joseph. The second elf Huono, Grabbed Illouise by the hair and held a jagged knife to her throat. “Come with us or we'll spill her blood all over the forest and let the Brownies eat her remains” said Huono. “Esther looked up at Joseph then at the elves. “I think were going to have to go with them” she said in a state of panic.



The Elves lead them down a steep forest path with a sheer drop at the side with only the trees that surrounded them to break the fall of the clumsy footed. They were herded down a gravelly hill, their feet sliding beneath them and at the bottom of the hill ,a cave in the hillside. They were lead in. “Wyau” called Huono to the second elf.” Take these women and lock them up with the elvish tarts, Don't mix them up with the troll women, they haven't eaten in a day or so”. “Iawn Huono” replied Wyau and lead them away. Huono then lead Joseph down through the cave toward what appeared to be a an old mining shaft and secured him to a mining prop. “I shouldn't tug to hard on that” said Huono. “Not unless you want to be burried alive, that is”. “It'd take you down with me” retorted Joseph. “aye but you'll still be dead” said the Elf. “Your sisters too”


Darkness had fallen in the forrest “Where are they” said Huono. “They better not be messing us about”. “Calm it “said Wyau. “They're here” The trolls emerged from a rock face opposing the cave. Three in total one of very tall muscular stature and one scrawny and untoward looking, the third a rather dumpy looking thing sharpening his teeth on a rock , as they slowly moved towards the cave, the sound of there rocky joints grinding against each other reverberated through the forrest. “ you have some humans” said the larger of the three trolls. “Aye” said Huono we also have the very finest asylium ready for your testing” he said guiding the trolls into the cave.
