That male elf mage

You easily spot the elf mage in his bright purple robes and with his long blonde near white hair. He has a good head on him since he turns around to see if there's anything behind the group. Sadly, for him that is, you're right behind him as he does this.

You let loose the spells you'd prepared, covering him in shadows. He tries to flail around but you easily grab him and drag him away into the darkness of the night. He tries to cast spells at you, but you split his weaves before he can finish, using your own magic.

You dump him on the ground and clamp your hands over his mouth and nose. From your hands, black smoke oozes into his lungs. He starts to cough and tries to push you away but you're to strong. After a short while, he falls ****.

You tie him up with magic and are about to loot him when you hear the other heroes. They've finally realised that the mage is missing.

You can either sneak away with him and interrogate him yourself, or you could take him to you Master...
