Elven Rescue Mission

## Description

The ancient demon Bell-Shammaroth has recently broken through into this world!
He has laid waste to an ancient forest and devastated the elven people who used
to live there, capturing many. Elfwood has sent some people to help, but they
are proving unable to rescue the captives.
The elves are a proud people so you will have to approach them carefully, and
be persistent, but if you were to retrieve the captives they are sure to reward
you well!

## notes 2

The Tree thinks: The Elves are the children of the forest. They respect nature

```
   in all its guises, and treat it with respect. They are fearsome warriors in
   their own right, and are not to be taken lightly. The Elves in this forest
   fight their own battle against Bel-Shammaroth, the demon lord, but things
   are not going well for them, and they need help desperately, although they
   never ask for it, they are too proud for that. Mentioning me may help them
   trust you, or offering to rescue the prisoners.

```

A Wood Elf jumps in front of you.
The Wood Elf looks reluctant then says: I am sorry, I cannot allow you to pass.
You say: I can rescue your prisoners
> The Elf smiles hopefully.
The Elf says: I don't suppose you, or maybe a party of adventurers...

The Wood Elf smiles and steps aside to let you enter the camp.
You are standing in the centre of what looks to be some sort of camp. You
can see in other parts of the camp tents are set up, along with a pen for horses
and a meeting place. Elves are bustling about, all doing what looks like it is
meaningful work.

You say: I am here to rescue the prisoners
>
The Elven Leader says: Hmm, perhaps in that case they were justified.
The Elven Leader thinks about things.

The Elven Leader says: It is possible that an adventurer would succeed where

```
   we have failed. Very well, I give you the run of the camp and ask that you
   rescue our friends whom the demons hold prisoner. You will be rewarded for
   your efforts if you succeed.

```

The Elven Leader thinks for a moment.

The Elven Leader says: They will almost certainly be bound by demon iron, you

```
   will find my magical advisor in the northeast corner of the camp, talk to
   him about the iron and he may be able to help.

```

bow leader
You bow to Elven leader.
You say: demon iron
> The Elven Mage sighs.
The Elven Mage says: I have managed to make items to break the chains, I can

```
   only produce a certain number though before my powers are exhausted.

```

The Elven Mage waves his hand and suddenly a pair of tiny silver cages appear
lying on the floor.
The Elven Mage says: The prisoners will almost certainly be badly hurt and will

```
   probably have been damaged mentally. They should respond to your commands
   if they are kept simple. I would suggest trying 'follow', 'wait' or perhaps
   saying the direction you want them to go in. Release the butterfly from the
   cage to activate the magic it contains.

```

The Elven Mage says: I would discuss the layout of the temple with the

```
   Blademaster if I were you. You might want to plan a route out that avoids
   as many demons as possible, the prisoners will be in no shape to fight.

```

You say: layout
> The Elven Blademaster says: The temple was conjured by dark magic, and swarms

```
   with demons. We believe the accursed one lairs at the center, and that the
   prisoners are held somewhere to the southeast. We also believe there to be
   another exit from the temple although we have been unable to find it.

```

The Elven Blademaster ponders the situation.
The Elven Blademaster says: I strongly recommend that you avoid the center of

```
   the temple when bringing out the prisoners, although I wish I could tell
   you of a way to avoid it.
