As they hide, a group of malevolent creatures known as the Shadow Hand passes by their hiding spot. They are skilled in dark magic and serve a powerful dark elf lord. They are on a mission to retrieve an ancient artifact that holds immense power and could tip the scales in their favor in the impending battle between light and dark. Luckily for our adventurers, they pass by without noticing them, allowing them to continue their quest for the lost timeline map

Fine, but remember, I’m not great in close combat. I whisper
Don't worry, Doranect, you don't have to be a close-combat expert to survive. Just stick with me and follow my lead.
whispers Doranect, stay close and be ready for anything. We can't let our guard down in here.
Sure, sure, whatever you say…
