"No don't put him in that building! It's already taken by the other human. Tie him to a pole over by the bon fire.", one of the orcs shouts to the ones that are carrying the human towards the building that Sevious is in. The nod and grunt. They turn him around and carry him towards the bon fire. one of the orcs takes out a long stick and shoves it into the ground. Two other orcs comes up to the human and kicks him in the gut making him get down onto his knees. The two orcs quickly retie the rope to the stake and then to his hands. "You try to escape and your head will rest on this stake", one orc says to the human. Sevious peers out over the muddy ground as all this happens. "I'm coming Sevious. Heheh. I finally get to meet you in person", the voice says. Sevious shakes his head and backs down into a shadow in the corner of the building. He holds his head. He suddenly dazes off and sees something....Four elves and four eagles.....one is already mounted and the other two are readying themselves to mount the eagles. He sees a particular blonde haired elf...."Ah yes Sevious. The time will come when I will have her too. You may or may not meet her again. Heheh", the voice says evilly laughing to itself.

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Sun Mar 02, 2003 9:56 pm

What are you going to do to me? asks Boremier as he is tied up to the pole. Well what are you going to do!? The orc looks at Boremier and just laughs.

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Sun Mar 02, 2003 10:20 pm

The orc laughs at the human. "You are truelly pathetic. Don't tell me that you're going to beg for your life....You can not bribe me. ", the orc says. The orc pulls out a dagger and holds it up to Boremier's neck. "The master didn't say to spare your life. Heh. I can do as I please to you. We can have flesh....we haven't had meat in a long while to eat", the orc says as he begins to lick his lips. "But I will wait to see what the master says. He will arrive later. Right now he is attending to some important business. Heheh. Until then I get to torment you", the orc says. Back in the hut Sevious lays in the corner with his hands over his eyes. "My head.", he mumbles to himself. "Heh. Yes your head. It's all coming back...if it hasn't yet it will soon. Heheh.", the voice says to Sevious. Sevious stares into his vision. He sees the elves appear again before him. "About her. Heh. The blonde one. Like I said.....I will have her in my hands here. That priestess....the one on the eagle......Elara has no power in this.....I don't know why she even bothers to search for you.....this concerns Moshran and I......we will come to control this world. Nothing will stop us.....", the voice says harshly. Sevious stares at the elves but mainly concentrates on the one with the blonde hair. "That one seems to catch your eye. Heh. Time will tell why. ", the voice says again. Sevious continues to watch her, his heart pounding and soon something hits him. "She's......", he thinks. "I...", he says again. " Yes you do. Heheh. And when you see her life threatened....you'll join me.....I'll make sure you do....If you don't.....You'll find out what'll happen heheh.", the voice says again. Sevious continues to spare off into space as it hits full night outside. The only light is the bon fire in the center of the broken down village from where the other human lays.....

Boremier lays on the floor thinking of where Guingalan could possibly beHe murmers to himself: Guingalan where are you how did I get here? I must find you. He looks into the sky and wonders how Dunthor and the bloodskulls are.

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Sun Mar 02, 2003 10:55 pm

Moathia stands and walks silently to the eagle, she strokes it's neck and whispers softly into it's ear before, looking to Elaralith, and nods.

Callith · Post by **Callith** » Sun Mar 02, 2003 10:57 pm

"Callith slowly walks backwards over to the last eagle and gets on it, being carful not to hurt it with his two swords. "Moathia, when we land stick close, family shall stay together."

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Sun Mar 02, 2003 11:44 pm

As Morgaine Le Fay hears the eagle approaching her heart starts to beat faster. "Now, at last, we shall head to the rescue of Helios and I shall ride an eagle. A long time passed that I had climbed the back of the king of skies", she thinks to herself as she lets go a sigh of relief. Quickly she makes herself ready for the ride and almost falls to the ground as she is taken aback by the force of wind that is coming from the eagles landing. She smiles as she reminds herself not to give way to this unseemingly impatient mood that had gotten a firm grip on her mind. "I shall be at ease now - there is no need to hurry - we shall be there in time" she reassures herself as she approaches one of the eagle kind. As it is with eagles she politely introduces herself to Soronúmë, her companion, that would bring her as close to Helios as possible, and asks for his permission to mount him in a courteous manner. She then turns to Brendan, bids him farewell and whispers into Soronúmë´s ear that she is ready. "Let us fly to Helios rescue now" she says in a joyous mood as she smiles at Callith, Moathia and Elaralith.

veralion · Post by **veralion** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 12:58 am

Veralion wake up in the middle of the night. All of the other Bloodskulls are around the fire. Apparently they all had the same dream. He walks over to the fire and begins to talk with them. Veralion decides to take whoever will go with him into the forest, for he remembers a long time ago, he came to an elven colony around the area.... He found two volunteers and they set off. They came to a thick area of vines and trees and soon, they all saw a few lights in the distance. As they stealthily approached the lights, they came to the treeline. From there, they notied the lights were fires. They saw dark figures lunking around and sitting at the fires, talking and fighting over food. Veralion turned to his companions and they agreed they were orcs. They all went back to the camp, made a plan, and all went back to rest...

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 5:19 am

The Eagles lift off into the air and kick up a whirlwind. Four Eagles spiral up into the sky and soon are mere specks on the horizon so swift is their flight. Amidst the exhiliration that comes from flying, the onrushing wind, and the passing land below the Elves hold council:
"We will arrive in a few hours time-it will be but the mere passing of a fly. Be wary and prepared my friends for through Elara I have been given the Knowledge of a great evil that will face us...
Elaralith shudders inwardly, but shows no visible emotion as she keeps the worst of what she knows to herself in an attempt to not cause panic among the others.
"I know not what we will find there I must admit. But I fear the worst...if the Elves of the elven colony I once travelled to are still alive and well that will be a boon for us, but my heart tells me otherwise.
Elaralith then leans forward to catch the words coming from her Eagle.
"Hmmm....he says he spots with his sharp eyes smoke rising from our destination. Smoke that was not there before...What new devilry is this I wonder?"
Elaralith appears momentarily troubled, but she regains her calm quickly. She falls into a trance-like prayer and suddenly after some long moments she jerks up with a startled look.
"Green-skinned...many spears....Orcs!"

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 3:14 pm

Morgaine Le Fay has made herself comfortable on Soronúmë´s back and had a pleasant conversation with him. She enjoyed to see the world from this view - everything seemed to be at peace from this hight and distance did not matter at all. The wind carried them to a far away destination within the blink of an eye. The flight was quite something she would remember gladly until the end of times. Suddenly she sees Elaralith startled by something from the corner of her eye and politely asks Soronúmë to brake the formation, so she would get a chance to learn what has disturbed Elaralith that much. Morgaine Le Fay mood darkens as she is told of the vision that was given to Elaraltih. "It will not be an easy fight", she thinks to herself as Soronúmë flies back into formation. In fact, she realizes that it will be a very dangerous operation to free Helios - possible, that not all of them will make it back. She shivers at the very thought of losing a party member. "We shall arrive soon there", she thinks to herself, "and I better meditate - one shall not face his foe unprepared."

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 6:26 pm

Moathia ignores Elaralith's statement and she continues to look ahead at smoke comming from the island. "I'm comming Sevious, don't give up hope, I'm comming" She thinks to herself.

Brendan Mason · Post by **Brendan Mason** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 6:48 pm

Brendan Mason stands at the spot where the eagles departed.
"Elves," he thinks to himself, "always the same..."

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 7:10 pm

Sevious sits in the small building, waiting for anything to happen. So far the orcs outside are restless and have been harassing the human that was tied up during the night. Outside the sun slowly rises on the horizon. One orc gaurd comes up to the door and kicks on it. "Wake up, human! It's time to feed you!", it says as it starts to unlock the door. The orc kicks the door in and comes in to the room with Sevious. He throws a bowl of slop onto the ground right in front of Sevious. "I be back later. Eat food human.", the orc says as it walks back outside. Sevious gazes at the slop and then shoves it away slowly with his right arm. Sevious stares back up at the straw ceiling of the room and begins to daze off again. "Heheh. It's almost time, Sevious. I'll come and see you. But first there is something I must catch. Four of them actually. And then there are also some pesky orcs and a dwarf out in the forest. Heh.", the voice says. Sevious doesn't respond. "Watch Sevious. You see this?", the voice says as Sevious starts to see some figures riding on eagles come into his view. "This is a bit of what will happen.", the voice says.

Sevious watches as arrows fly up into the air from the forest below. Each of the eagles with elves on them gets hit and start to fall to the ground. The elves hang out tight so they don't fall off. More than 50 orcs below run out into where the eagles will hit the ground to capture the elves. "Don't you see Sevious. Even if they do escape the volley of arrows we will catch them. Watch this now.", the voice says with a bit of a cackle. Sevious watches as the elves land on the ground and dismount the eagles. They praise them and give them treats. Suddenly some montres' and orcs come running out of the forest in an ambush. The elves try to fight back but...."No.....that won't happen......You're trying to posion my mind.......I won't believe you......", Sevious says to the voice. "You don't now but you will when the orcish soilders bring back there dead bodies to camp. Then you'll believe me", the voice says with a bit of a laugh.

Meanwhile back outside the orcs gather around the human that is tied up to the stake. One of them comes up to him and sticks a dagger up to his chin and uses it to push his head up to face him in the eyes. "You dirty human. Heheh. Master will know what to do with you. I ask personally to kill you.", the orc says as it spits at his feet. "Untie him.", another orc says. The one in front of the human goes around behind him and unbinds the rope with his hands. The orc then kicks the human in his back and two others come and pick him up. "Stay standing human!", the orc says as he goes in front of the human. The orc cracks his knuckles and then starts to swing. A hairy hand with sharp claws comes down and stops the orcs hand. "Youie knowsi whatsi thei masteri saids. Noi killingi thee prisoners...", it says. "What do you care montres? This is our business.", the orc says back to it. "Youie shouldi knows betters.", the montres says back. "Well then, Montres. If you want to stop me. Then do so", the orc says as it rolls it's neck around on it's place.

The montres shakes his head. "No, keeps yours eyes opens...I'ves camesi to tellsi youei thate rumor hasi itse that elvese are cominges.", the montres says. "Elves? The colony here is long gone.....we couldn't find it when we emerged in these forests.....grinish. Get over here.", the orc says to another as he comes running up to him. "Yes commander?", the orc says. "I want you to take a number of 30 with you and search these forests, high and low, for any traces of elves......Loarc'kin come here", the orc says. Another one comes running over. "Take your finest warriors with you and keep an eye on the skies. Rumor has it that elves are flying in. We have no idea why but we don't want them to find us and leave to tell the tale. Kill everything you find.....", the orcish commander says. "Yes sir!", the other grunts back. The two orcs salute their commander and run off to gather others. "Tie the human back up. Dispose of any weapons here so he can not use any of them to escape.", the commander says to the two gaurds that were harrassing him. "Yes sir!", the grunt back. "I'll have these elves heads...master will be pleased. Hahah.", the orcish commander says to himself.

Suddenly an orc runs back into camp from the entrance. The orcish commander looks towards the entrance as the scout comes running in. "What is it?", the orc commander grunts towards the others. "I've spotted.......a group of our own race....with red skulls painted on their helms. They are hostile. I watched them fight the montres' but after the battle was over the montres' retreated.....I fired an arrow that hit one of them in the legs....and ran out of there as quick as I could.....I don't know if they've found us yet but I suggest we slay them quickly.", the scout says as he salutes the commander. "Ah...yes. We should dispose of them. Take a group of 30 with you and engage them. Kill them all. If not that then bring them back as prisoners. I'm sure I'll...'convince' them to join our cause. Be quick now. Time is running against us. We don't want our prescence on this island to be given away. This will ruin our plans. Kalamon has big plans for this world......Moshran will rule this world!", the commander says. He snorts one last time and then dismisses the scout. "Go now", he grunts to the scout. The scout nods and runs off to gather a group of orcs.

The three groups of orcs leave the camp to do their tasks they were assigned. Sevious gets to his feet and walks over to the door to where an orc gaurd stands. He thinks for a minute and then looks over to the larger building. A light flashes from with in it and then the doors of the building opens. Sevious' jaw practically drops down as he watches as undead skeleton warriors and orcs march out of the building. "Not more....", he thinks to himself. "Oh yes. There is way more....this isn't even a minority of my forces. What you see here is just the skin. heheh. More comes this way. Way more.", the voice says. The orc gaurd suddenly turns around and looks in the door at Sevious. "Go sit down. Breathing on my neck is a good way to lose your trachea.", the orc says as it draws it sabre. Sevious backs away and heads back to the corner and sits down again.

The group led me Grinish walks out and down a path deep into the woods. After a few hours of wandering the paths of the forest they reach a spot that they have never been to before. "This place is not on the maps......hmm", Grinish mumbles to himself. He points his finger into the darkness of the woods. "There.....that is the place.", he says. The other orcs pick up their weapons and shields and they all start to march into the darkness. A figure looks out from the darkness at the orcs. "Intruders..", he mumbles to himself as he stands up. His tall figure stands up from his crouching position and listens hard with his pointy ears. ".....30 of them.......armed with swords....shields......and fulls sets of armor.......hmm. I must warn the others.", the figure suddenly twitches it pointy ears and then turns around with a cloak flapping up behind him. He suddenly runs quickly and stealthily into the darkness.....

The group led by Loarc'kin heads out to where the forest meets the beach and they all crouch down with their cross bows by their sides. "Watch sky for any thing. Elves are rumored to be coming in. Shoot on sight.", Loarc'kin says to the others in a quiet voice. They all nod and grunt as they load up their crossbows. "If they're shot out of the sky. Run after them. If they resist. Kill them.", Loarc'kin says again. They all nod and watch the skies. Soon enough four elves come in from the sky. "Look sir! There they are!", one of the orcs says to Loarc'kin. Loarc'kin nods and says,"Ready! Aim! Fire!!" The orcs aim there crossbows for the eagles and then one by one let off bolts and arrows at the eagles.....

The group led by the scout moves down the forest. The scout sniffs the air. "They are near. Keep your lances and shields up. We grow closer every second. Heads up", the scout says. The orcs ready their shields, lances, and swords. The sound of their armor clanging together is heard all around the area. "Sir. Look! There they are. Give us the orders and we will attack.", one orc says to the scout. "Not yet.....let us wait", the scout says. The other looks at the scout and shrugs. About two hours later the scout has the area surrounded. "They have no escape. Set this area on fire. Then ambush them. Leave none of them alive.", the scout says. The orcs near him nod and then let off a loud battle cry. "CHAARRRRGGGGEEEEEE", the scout grunts loudly. Two orcs on the northern parts of the woods drop torches into the grass and trees and then all thirty of them move in on the others with red skulls on their helmets......

"It is happening Sevious......everything is going as planned.", the voice says one last time. Sevious shakes his head. "Sevious they're all dead. No one is leaving this island. We will take this realm. It rightfully belongs to Moshran.", the voice says.........

Callith · Post by **Callith** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 9:09 pm

Callith's eagle has it's wing cliped by a bolt and begins to fall, but before it hits the ground Callith jumps off and lands garcefully on his feet with both swords in hand, and the eagle with out his weight, manages to get back into the sky. "Bah, the orcs catch us, but now I am back to what I am used to. " Callith thnks to himself then shouts "Come orc dogs, face the orc bane. Meet me and meet your death"

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 9:26 pm

The journey was coming to its end. The island had been in sight for a while already and Soronúmë and the other eagles where constantly losing height, searching with their sharp eyes for a good landing site. Morgaine Le Fay had her eyes closed, she was silent - her heart was beating in a fast pace. Soon they would dismount the eagles and the adventure would begin. Elaralith´s vision troubled her...
Suddenly Soronúmë let out a mighty shriek and turned hard left - they were under fire! The sound of arrows and bolts was heard as they flew into the blue sky. Morgaine almost fell off Soronúmë´s back but could fast enough dig her knees deep into his feathers. Another volley of arrows and bolts was fired at them and Soronúmë let out another shriek of anger while he was flying hard right and hard left again, climbing the sky to get out of their range. Morgaine grabbed her staff tightly and whispered some words over and over again... she was shooting blinding flashes of light at the orcs while Soronúmë was circl(e)ing the sky above the orcs. Another shriek was heard and another and another... the eagles were in formation again and broke off, flying fast to a safe landing site.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:37 pm

Elaralith sees the orcs that she had know about in her premonition and is not surprised. She guides her Eagle away from the orc archers and calls for the others to follow her lead. "This way, I have seen in my Vision that there is a great rock to the east of this place. Follow closely!"
Elaralith's Eagle dexterously veers away from the huddle of orcs and with strong, deliberate strokes travels swiftly to safety.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:42 pm

Elaralith sees the orcs that she had know about in her premonition and is not surprised. She guides her Eagle expertly away from the orc archers' arrows and points for the others to fly to a easterly direction.
"That way, I have seen in my Vision that there is a great rock to the east of this place. Go now with all haste!"
Elaralith then whispers urgently into the ear of her Eagle and the Eagle drops rapidly down in a plummet to the location of Callith. Elaralith shouts as they come:
"Quick Callith! Leap on, we cannot face so many!"

veralion · Post by **veralion** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:46 pm

Veralion quickly observes his suroundings. He notices the 30 orcs charging and orders the Bloodskulls to draw their weapons. He grins, eyes flaming red again, and mumbles to himself...

Foolish orcs....unfortunatly for you I came from hells fires...

Veralion turns to the Bloodskulls behind him and nods, for their plan they had created last night just might work. With the orcs closeing in on them quickly, the group of comrades do not panic. Within seconds, more than half of he orcs charging have fallin into the Bloodskulls clever traps. With some, crying and squirming from the trees upside down, and others fallin into deep pits of steaks no longer moving.... Veralion and the Bloodskull are pleased from their clever works, but quickly return to the oncomeing orcs, hardly fased by the lose of their others... Within a moment, Veralion counts the remaining numbers...He shouts to is friends...

I found the scout leading them, and I can smell our old friend Grinish close by! Five of us...and 13 of them...we must win! Stand your ground brothers!! As soon as our fight here has ended, continue with our plan! I get the leading scout!

Veralion looks into the sky and sees the elves have finally come. He snarles, does a short taunt with his sword, and begins to battle aside the other Bloodskulls....

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:51 pm

Moathia watches Callith's eagle fall, but swerves with the other two and as they reach the rock she dismounts quickly and thanks the eagle before running into the forest alone.

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:57 pm

Boremier thinks again to himself about where guingalan could possibly be as he stands tied to the steak. A shiver runs down his spine when he hears the name Kalamon! and thinks to himself. "Kalamon you detroyed my home kingdom killed my father the great general magnus I will slay you with my fathers sword!" His strength is gradually diminnishing as he has been brutally beaten and torured, ah he stands tied there he thinks back to what happened to his home kingdom......

veralion · Post by **veralion** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 11:20 pm

A ways in to the fight, 5 of the attacking orcs are finally slayed, and one manages to escape. With the scout standing back with one the orcs, they watch as the Bloodskulls gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, Veralion turn and finds his closest friend, Orenk, being double teamed. They make eye contact, and the next moment, Orenk is beheaded.....
Veralion turns as the other bloodskulls take on the last five warriors, and looks towards the scout and his gaurd. They begin lauging at the lose of the Bloodskull, but then look at Veralion, still, motionles....

Words cannot express the hellish madness that rapidly moves through Veralions mind and body at this point..

As the fire rages between them, it grows and covers up their view of eachother. And then, it was silent in Veralions mind. Not even the fire or the clashing of swords could be heard.
The scout did not know what was happening, for all of a sudden, he felt an arrow of fear bolt streight through his mind, and his heart.
The firey wall raged. The next moment, Dunthor thrown an axe streight into the guards chest. The scout stood in shock, and Veraion flew through the fire, snareling, and swung his sword streight in to the scouts head and down to the ground...cutting the scout in half.

Veralion stood motionless, breathing heard....
As the other Bloodskulls fought off the remaining attackers, the air filled with death. It could be smelled throughout the entire island. Veralion looked down and raised his head, releasing a scream...of pain...and revenge....that could be heard throughout the entire island.....within the next few seconds, the fight was over....but much was left to come....

The Bloodskull got the body of their friend, and made haste to their next hiding spot to regain strength, and to calm their emotions...

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 11:24 pm

One of the remaining 6 orcs yells towards the scout. "Sir! We can't hold these. I do not see how we lost so many. What are we to do?", one of the nervous orcs asks the scout. "Head back to camp. Tell the commander. He'll know what to do. Until you get back we'll hold them off. Hurry now. Run.", the scout says to the other. The orc nods and runs back down the path from wince they came. The scout looks up at the leading orc of the bloodskulls and does a motion with his finger to come forward. "Come now. Don't be afraid. You seem to have clever traps. I have to admit. They did well. But now you're out of them. Come and fight. Show me what skill you got.", the scout says to the leading orc of the bloodskulls. The orc engages with the leader of the bloodskulls in combat and then loses. The orcish leader of the bloodskulls had beaten the pride driven scout.

The orcs watch as the elf hops off of his eagle and draws his swords. "Come orc dogs, face the orc bane. Meet me and meet your death", the elf says to the orcs. Grinish looks at the elf with his red blood eyes. "Fool...you can't stop us. I'll snap your neck. You can't win. Time to die", Grinish says as he cracks his knuckles. Grinish pulls out two cleavers, sabre like swords. He looks back at the rest of the group. "Continue firing at the elves in the sky. I want them down here on the ground. You ten follow me. I'm going to need your help in controlling this fool after I beat him to a pulp.", he says gesturing towards the elf. Grinish and 10 of the other orcs start to charge at the solo elf when suddenly a female elf with a finely carved staff comes down for the elf. "Quick Callith! Leap on, we cannot face so many!",she says to him. Grinish gestures towards the eagle. "Get her as well. Hurry!", he says grunting loudly. Five of the orcs run around him and up to the eagle with their weapons drawn and shields at their sides.....

Meanwhile back at camp, other orcs continue to torture the human tied up to the stake. "Human, your flesh is torn. Heheh. Shows you how weak the race of man is. Tsk tsk. I was ordered to feed you. Food you'll get. But first you must do something for it. We're bored stiff here. We need some entertainment. So, you get to wrestle with a montres. Heheh. No weapons. Just your bare hands.", one orc says to the human tied up to the stake. "Gruien arit eti alie", the orc shouts out. Suddenly the ground shakes as a giant 9 foot tall montres comes running up to the fire. "Untie him! Take him to the ring. Gather around and watch!", the orc commands the others around. They all grunt loudly and make battle calls. Two orcs go up to the human and untie him. They kick him and shove him into a ring of stones in the middle of the camp. "Geris eht ate iste", the orc says to the montres. The montres roars loudly and storms into the ring. It looks at the human roars in his face with saliva flying out of it's mouth and hitting the human in the face. "Let the fun begin!", the orc says. The montres rolls it's head around and then charges at the human.....

Sevious gets to his feet and walks up to the door to where the heavily armored gaurd stands. The gaurd grows a bit drowsy and seems to be dozing off to sleep. "Heh. Seems the orcs have come up with something to entertain themselves with.", the voice within Sevious' head says. "Such pitiful games....Such vile creatures.....it's a shame that these individuals....are so primitive....", Sevious says back. "Exactly....they follow there god. And I am one to them. The supreme god that gave me the powers relies on me.", the voice says. "You wish you were a god. Moshran may be the blood and bone lord, but you aren't. You're his pet. His puppet.", Sevious says back. "Fool...that is not true. It is because of men like you...that wants me to get rid of the human race....they cause suffering. Pain...hatred...grief.....so many more words. They aren't worth to live on in existance.", the voice says darkily. Sevious shakes his head and stares out the bared window as the match goes on. "Whoever you are human.....stay alive. Don't let this creature win...", Sevious says to himself.....

Loarc'kin marches further into the forest with the others by his side. He suddenly stops and holds his hand up for the others to do so too. "Smell the air. Tell me what it is.", he commands an orc by him to do. The orc takes in a scent. "It's elven flesh sir. The rumors must be true. There is elves here. We must find them and kill them.", it says back to Loarc'kin. Loarc'kin nods. "That we must.", he says back to the other. Meanwhile the tall figure runs swiftly through the forest. Taking in deep breaths of air he emerges onto a flight of wooden spiral stairs. He quickly runs up them and into a wooden door made from the trunk of the giant tree. "My elder! I've spotted orcs. We must do something! Quickly! They are coming. If we do not fight they will overwhelm us.", the elf says to an older looking elf. "Patience. That is what we need. The orcs still have yet to find our home. If they do. They will indeed meet our arrows. They will never reach this room.", the elder says to the other. The younger elf looks at the elder and nods. Soon another female elf comes running down steps form within the room. "To the east three giant birds fly in! On them are fellow elves. They are flying to the rock.....that's where the Tantula nest is.....what should we do? We don't want them to get caught by the queen", the elvin says. "No we don't....take 15 of our best archers and warriors there. Make sure they are greeted and safily land. I want to meet them. This day has been long.", the elder says. "Yes my lige", the elvin says. She runs back up the stairs.

Moments later 15 elves come running down in leather armor and long bows at their sides with arrows in holsters on their backs. "Off to Tantula's rock to the east! We must make sure the incoming elves land safely.", the leading male says. They others nod and they march off towards Tantula's rock. Moments later they emerge up out of the forest and onto the rocks. They wave for the others on the eagles. But then, several Tantula's come up onto the rock. "Get your arrows ready! Aim them at the Tantula's. Make sure none get to the top of here. The cave from wince they come is over there.", the leading elf says while pointing towards a hole in the cliff. The elves reach behind their backs and aim at the oncoming Tantula's. Soon they let the arrows go and with great accuracy they hit the Tantula's. But only more come rushing out.......

Morgaine Le Fay · Post by **Morgaine Le Fay** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 11:26 pm

Soronúmë´s shriek drives Morgaine´s attention to Elaralith, who is charging down at the orcs - it is then that she realizes that Callith is not riding the eagle anymore. Not hesitating, she motions to Soronúmë to dive and sends one blinding flash after the other at the orcs. Arrows and bolts give away a whistling tune as they pass by, missing their target. The ground is coming closer and closer very fast and though Morgaine is safe on Soronúmë´s back she feels chills raising from toes up to her head.

Within the blink of an eye they would hit the ground... but Soronúmë spreads his wings again and the force of wind blows some horrified orcs to the ground. Morgaine does not miss to cast a few ice fields near where she presumes Callith to be and continues to blind the orcs with some more flashes of light. Soronúmë has gained again height and charges back at the orcs in a dive. This time he grabs an orc and bites off its head with his beak.

Morgaine Le Fay cannot make out if Elaralith succeeded in Callith´s rescue but she can make out that Elaralith has taken to the air again. Soronúmë turns to the east - a rock is his destination. And with his swift and strong flapping of wings they soon after land. Morgaine dismounts Soronúmë and sees Moathia already running towards the forest. She cries after her to stop and sends an ice bolt in her direction to catch her attention. "Come back at once" she cries, "we have to re-group or we be lost!!!". Moathia ignores her calling and in a moment of anger she cries after her "Dùr leanabh!". Morgaine wants to thank her companion Soronúmë but he has already started to eat his prey, an orc.

She does not want to lose any time and decides to run to the top of the rock, when she realizes that there are elves. Before she is given the opportunity to greet them, those elves fire a volley of arrows way past her. Startled, she swiftly turns around and sees many tantulas emerging from nowhere. With her staff in hands she immediately starts casting a thick wall of ice flames in a wide circle around her and Soronúmë. "No tantula shall get past these flames", she tells herself as she continues to cast more flames. The elven arrows are merciless and kill one tantula after the other while Morgaine commences to cast more ice flames to hold them at bay. Soon the assault will be over.

"Elaralith get out of here, I'll hold them, Moathia needs your help more than I do, she has done somthing foolish" He says to Elaralith before turning to the orcs " Me against ten orcs, not very fair....I'll only use one sword" Callith charges towards the orcs, and jumps over behind the charge line, his two swords bursting into fire he runs into the back of the line taking out the four orcs his swords reach first, he then rolls backwards out of the way of a clever, the owner with a sword in his belly, by now the five remaining orcs have turned and have formed a line again, but two fall as a dagger ends up in their throats after a flash of Callith's hands, Callith quickly takes up his swords again and swings them into the face of the two orcs next to the leader, horribly burning their faces and blinding them. " Just you and me know, still think you can win? I give you this chance to fall back to your village now, and pick up reinforcements, and you can live....For now." Callith then jumps over the orc and keeps the leader between him, and the ones with crossbows, incase one decided to take advantage of his turned back.

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Tue Mar 04, 2003 12:02 am

Moathia ignores, Morgaine, and disappears into the forrest, not making a sound, and she is shortly upon the village, she climbs the tallest tree near by and watches Boromier fighting the montres, and see's Sevious at the window, she has the hood of her green cloak on, and everything she has on is green, meaning she is near impossible to be seen, she watches the Montres, and uses a spell to paralise it, and then uses a field of flames, to burn it to death, making sure no one hears her casting, and uses spells that wont give away her position, she uses more flame fields, to burn All the orc buildings, exept the jail, and casts another at the door of the armoury, so no one can enter to save the equipment in there.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Tue Mar 04, 2003 12:12 am

Elaralith sends a penetrating glare at Callith, and she shouts above the clash of steel:
"Fool! These are not dumb-trolls we face, but cunning orcs! Hasten back to your Eagle and let us make good our escape!"
Elaralith glances sharply around and realizes the absence of Moathia and she thinks: "Elara save us! Each one is going off separately to their own doom for foolish prideful reasons. We must regroup for I see now that the very intention of these foul orcs is to separate us, and then pick us off one by one!"
All those thoughts take less than a moment to pass through Elaralith's mind and she urgently motions for Morgaine to go to the landing rock she spoke of earlier. She yells at Callith to mount his own Eagle who awaits him.
"Get on your Eagle now! By this foolishness we have already lost Moathia and the quest just begun too! We must regroup and then together search for Moathia. This is not a bold assault we make with our small numbers, but a stealthy rescue!"

Boremier reels back in shock at the montres burning he sasy to himself: " what just happened?" The orcs start to walk towards him the commanding orc says to Boremier: "You used some kind of magic did'nt you!?" Boremier try's to run but he has lost so much strength from being beaten the orcs quickly catch him.

"Elaralith, by Elara's wisdom, go now, my destiny, lies seprate from yours, go into the sky now, Moathia has begun an attack on the village, it's in flames, and she hasn't even been seen yet, hurry and help her, the more orcs I can subdue here the less you have to worry about returning to the village, but if anything happens to you here, then I would have lost re-guardless of how many I kill, my destiny is here, go now, I will return I promise. Vanimle sila tiri, Amin mela lle Elaralith, just trust me."

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Tue Mar 04, 2003 12:28 am

Moathia sets a ring of fire arnoud Boromeir, and that uses a spell to make her voice sound like Kalamon's but it is thrown to come from the other side of the forrest. "Stupid creatures, did I not tell you to not endanger the humans prisoners lives, having one fight against a nine foot montres breaks that order, who is resposible, come forward and face your penalty."
