[QUOTE="maddmic, post: 3638262, member: 9989"] As quickly as it had started, it was over. The elves were swarming over the sleeping foes and Starhl was delivering the final blow to the ogre. He looked at Kaela and Valurel. Kaela was already being rushed to by Lodric. The giant walked to the northern elf and knelt beside his broken body. He let his axe fall to the ground as he checked over the white elf. His heart sinks as he realizes that there is little hope left for his feral friend. He begins to look for signs of life and is relieved to see his chest rise ever so slightly. Not being knowledgeable in the arts of healing, or magik, he called to anybody who would listen. [COLOR=Orange]"Come quickly! Valurel still lives. He needs help!"[/COLOR] He looked at the blood that colored the ground and was lost in quiet thought. He tried to help his friend as he waited for somebody to come. Once the wounds were mended and he could move the elf, he picked up Valurel and carried him to the broken tree, laying him on the soft leaves with Kaela and Lodric. with pleading eyes to the others there, even though he was unsure what could be done. Perhaps if Aislinn were here, she could do something, but without her, it seemed as though hope might be lost. As Valurel lay hanging in the balance, Herger rises and walks to Kaela. He lays a massive hand gently on her head and strokes her hair. He begins to weep quietly allowing only a couple of tears to fall before he stands and makes his way to the bodies of the foes. Herger looks to the oruks and strips one of his armor and axe. As night approaches, he finally brings the items to Ladriel. [COLOR=Orange]"Can you speak to the cleanliness of these items? I know they were instruments used by the shadow, but if there is not taint, they could possibly assist us in our journey."[/COLOR] ___________________________________________________________________________ As the dawn breaks, Herger is happy to see that Kaela is well, and surprised to find Valurel partaking of the meager breakfast.

I know that the rations that the elves gave him are for strength based checks and that a forced march will be against constitution, but I figured that these things can't hurt. Basically he'll use the plate if it's not cursed or has any hint of a shadow magic on it. If it does, then he'll have Ladriel inspect the breast plates of the orcs if those will fit.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
