Shackled City: ECL 3; Ruce Blackwind; human; Urban Ranger 3: Entry 3

The elf is back.

...Shit.
And much more powerful than he has been letting on, too.
When I first saw him, he was mired in his own magic spell - stuck in whatever unnatural fungus he had TRIED to spray on the thugs we encountered. Then he offered to take the miscreants to the city guard (no doubt claiming sole credit for their capture, typical elf that he is).

But now three days later he has wandered back down here to "join" the team again. (I should slap that stupid gnome - I told him NO one but our group should be allowed down again - "for their protection") And he is not nearly so helpless as he lead us to believe. Once he saw open air between himself and a raging ogre, he let loose a spiral of magical fire that burned the life out of the giant without singing a hair on its head.

"Humble little novice" indeed! This elf is dangerous. And I can't figure out his motive. Why is he here? He says he came back to warn of a bounty on the lizard man "and his group." But why warn us first, if he just intends to betray us when we return to the surface? The elf mind is devious. I must watch him carefully for signs of his true allegiance.
