| I look up at the cursed yellow orb through partially shielded eye and smile.
Things are progressing well on several fronts now. My plans to take down the twins and return them to the bosom of their mother are well in hand. When the time is right, I will strike. This will be a clean operation, no mistakes. Once removed, I feel that my job will become that much easier. Without their stupid pointless terrorising around town, I can begin to infiltrate that much easier.
The relationship with my Kaldorian "friend" has just about ran its course. My initial thoughts that they could be a useful ally have been set aside. Despite their posturing, they are not as strong as they claim to be, they fear making a move. Sitting waiting for the right opportunity, their time has passed. Many of their so called army have become more Sosarian than Kaldorian. They will never take over?.they have become absorbed! So as a test of loyalty, some nights earlier I fed my Kaldorian some false and outdated information, just to see how she would react. As I already noted, she reacted favourably at the time, but now that she has had time to ponder over my words, would she remain with a weakening and increasingly impotent ideal or stay by my side? *sighs* She failed me.
Having observed from a distance, I became interested in an elf. As I made my presence known, I was pleased to note that she did not react in the usual elven way when faced with a Drow. Initially, my first thoughts where pure entertainment. Ah well a girl needs some play after working so hard. However as time went on and I got closer, I realised, here was a potential asset. Over the days we have had a lot of fun. She is intelligent and witty, but I have seen demonstrations of her arcane power which has given me great cause for contemplation. Clearly, this would be no easy take down. I want her under my control, I want her power at my command, but the usual slave breaking methods will not be so successful. Oh yes I have no doubt I could do it, it would be a long process but eventually she would be broken. The problem is, she would be left damaged by the ordeal to such an extent that she would no longer be of use. Now had I only wanted a house slave, then that would not worry me. She will not be my house slave, but my bodyguard! In front of me therefore lies my greatest challenge, make her subservient to me and at the same time retain her assets for my use.
As I await the perfect time to strike, another amusing situation comes along. A young yellow town guard seeks my aid. I think he believes me to be some sort of witch, rather than a cold calculating Drow. His problem is he is besotted with a female guard and he wants my help to win her over. *laughs joyously* Ah Vierna this will be fun for you. But it gets better. It turns out that the girl he fancies is that ungrateful bitch of an elf whom I offered to release from the twin who terrorises her. She is in love with that oaf of a guard who is also entrapped by the twin. Oh dear Lloth, clearly I am still in your favour that you send me such amusements to keep me happy. Will I help the young guard? Why not. And when I am done with it, he will be ever so grateful. *grins* And in his gratitude he will belong to me!
I watch, I assess, I report.
