The elf man grins as he nods to his two followers, who step back and give you some room. "If nothing else you have some guts." he says as he walks over to join them. "That is a rare trait for a city dweller, perhaps you have a chance after all. Follow us and stay close, our camp isn't too far from here. Try to break away or run and we can't promise us or our fellows won't just hunt you down and kill you, understood?" You nod your head and follow as they lead you away from the tiny campsite and back into the thick forest.
You keep close and stay silent as the elves clear a path ahead. You figure that if you leaned back enough you could probably slip away, but they've already seen your face and know who you are. Even if you got away clean the Gruul would likely refuse to trust you after that, not something a potential member would want at all. You still keep your guard up though, no telling what awaited you in the untamed wilds ahead.
After several minutes of navigating through thick plant life and jagged hunks of ground the elves pull away a clump of moss to reveal a large Gruul camp in a clearing up ahead. There were about a dozen tents of various sizes similar to the ones you saw back at the elf camp along with a few wooden cages, bone piles, totems and a large pit near the center. "Very impressive." you say as the elf men lead you into the clearing. "If you like that wait until you see the people." one of the elf men calls as you follow them to the largest tent.
"Wait here." the leader instructs as one of his men follow him inside, leaving you alone with the other.
