The many battles

[Lorck]

Lorck watches all the battles of his clan and the town of trollsbane, not interveening, just watching.....till the battle that took place later in the day that eliza was taken.

Lorck walked with his clan into the town, his staff ready, his eyes filled with uncertainty other than bloodlust. Once they had entered the town many of his clan brothers mentioned that the elf Steffie was in the town. Lorck had not believed that Pers would be in town, nor did he think that any one who he knew would be in the battle and he could fight those to whom he knew nothing of. Lorck and the rest of the small raiding party ventured into town, they noticed that the streets were deserted and every on who was in the town was now all in the shop. Lorck was about to charge in, till he heard the murmering of spell casters, Lorck knew then that Pers was in the shop, and his will to fight those to whom he knew, dwindled into almost nothing. He watched durin and some of the others leave the shop to meet his clansmen in a skermish, Lorck held his staff high and charged, yet was not able to swing his staff. He saw his clansmen flea the battle, so he too took to his heels and left the town.


As lorck left the town, he walked to the river and looked across, seeing those to whom he knew, and to those who would have killed him on sight should he have been on the other side of the river. He looked across, not moving, speaking little to those who spoke from across the river. Lorck finnally knew that he too had to fight .....perhaps not kill.....but he had to fight. He challenged any on the otherside, till Pendar offered a duel. Lorck accepted and met Pendar at the east gate of town.

Lorck and Pendar began their duel, Lorck swung his staff, his will to fight at all still weak, yet he sung his staff at pendar. Lorck in the end was felled by Pendars axe. He ventured to the cross within town, recieving all his items that he lost. He spoke a little more to those who went with him.

Lorck finally left the town, dreading the day that he would have to fight those who he knew again, but he knew....his loyalty belonged to his clan, and such would be forced to fight the town again, should the clan need him.
