[QUOTE="talien, post: 5051843, member: 3285"] [b]City Under Siege: Part 3b – Barbarians at the Gate[/b] Elabac stood with his comrades, surrounded by bodyguards, at the Forges. “We are to defend this forge…with our very lives!” wheezed Elabac. “Do not…falter!” The dwarves stood stoically, waraxes and warhammers clenched in their hands, visors low, shields before them. The enemy’s numbers were vast. The Legion of Unsettled Quietus, a Nerothian legion, moved in lock step. But for the clanking of armor and the rustling of arms, they made not a sound. “Undead,” whispered one of Elabac’s young apprentices. “How can we withstand such an army, Master Elabac?” The young one’s beard wasn’t very long, less than a foot. “They are so many and we are so few!” Elabac patted the young dwarf on the shoulder. “Have…faith.” The undead legion marched closer. Red sparks of hate glittered in their eye sockets. They lowered their spears and continued to march forward. “Steady…” said Elabac. They were a few hundred yards away. “Steady…” A few hundred feet away. “Steady…” The soldiers at the front of the legion’s attack suddenly convulsed and disappeared in bursts of flame. The dwarves cheered. More of the legion, single-minded in their attack, continued forward. And row after row exploded in fire. “The wards…held,” sighed Elabac in relief. “It’s a shame Beldin was not here to witness this,” said the young apprentice. “He would have been pleased.” “Beldin…is not coming…with us,” Elabac said sadly. The apprentice blinked at his elder. “Where are we going after this battle, Master Elabac?” “Home.” [/QUOTE]
