27 Bunker down (2/2)
Vivec POV
We have lost all contact with the scouts. To lose all communication is strange though. We have over a dozen messengers going to and from the encampment at all times so, for that to stop.... They are most likely all dead. Don't need confirmation. It is fine to treat them as if they were.
Replacements shouldn't be to hard to find. The real shame is that Sigrid was among them. She handled quite a few troublesome groups. Now that she is gone they may cause problems.... Lets just use them on the frontline when we send out an extermination force. Say that Sigrid requested them to work there.
There is the chance that the settlement will fall but, what would that matter? I can escape at anytime and still be treated well anywhere else. Superior blood would be welcomed in any drow settlement. I may need to shuffle things around to gain control again but, it's all just a matter of time.
”Ivan, gather up a extermination force, it seems thar those three are dead.” Vivec
”Shit, why do I have to clean up after those trash.” Ivan
He calls them trash but, he is the same. At least they had drive and charisma. He would be utter garbage if not for his strength. He will probably fail in the fight to come. It is best to plan out an escape now.

Well this is unfortunate. I was completely wrong. No spiders in sight. Just abominations with humanoid body parts. Most are actually weak. The quantity more than makes up for that though. We weren't able to set up a force before they started banging on the walls. Fleeing may be.... Difficult....

We gave up the outer walls. The filth can buy us some time to organise ourselves. Ivan is still alive surprisingly. Bastard used his subordinates as shields. I may have done the same but, not so obviously. Now there is tension between him and his troops. I'm not too worried. I still have a tunnel built that runs several kilometers away.
-------
I sneaked away while the others were fighting. This tunnel should lead towards a cave not to far from another settlement. Hmmm?..... Oh.... this is the end. I see a weird snake lizard with a drow head as well as a centipede with one as well. How are they in the middle of the tunnel though?.... Those are..... Felix and Fellia. Kind of ironic. These abominations must be wretched. Between these two, a slug slithers up to me. I'd rather not so, I take a knife from my side and-
