Anyway... I tracked them down and found them again. I asked them what they knew... Turns out they were tracking someone. Why?... They didn't know. It was a draconian (not a dragon, a draconian. You can look them up online, although only about half of what you'll find on any site I've found is accurate. Basically, they're half-dragon, half-human. That's really all you need to know. Well, that and that they have a magic that twists the minds around them--they don't do it intentionally; most of them can't control it. If you hang around a draconian too long, you will end up becoming a better or worse person, based on their alignment. Or you could be drawn to a certain goal, even if you know nothing about it.) Why would they risk their lives tracking something as dangerous as a draconian?... They didn't know. The draconian had an amulet of some kind. What kind of amulet was it?... They didn't know. All they knew was that when the draconian passed by, they felt an amazingly strong desire to protect the amulet. WHY? They couldn't answer that one question... Which is what got me wondering. Not to make this a short post or anything, but this is where I left and just thought for a very long time...

PS Sorry my posts are taking longer sometimes. I'm getting closer to where events are currently.
EDIT: I forgot to mention how they got underground... I believe the draconian used earth elemental energy to change the state of the ground and cause the moon elves to sink.
