[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2568053, member: 22226"] [B]Starhl Ikehal[/B] Starhl slips through the dark shadows, his acute hunter instincts in tune with the woods around him. His woods. As Starhl spies out of the dark forest, the orcs begin to spread out through the western end of the village. Within a few minutes, they will be on Starhl's eastern end. Will they enter the forest? The orcs scowl savagely and blat on black horns. Heavy, wicked vardatches are carried in their powerful hands. Rather than rampaging wildly, the orcs station themselves throughout the village as if they are waiting for something. Waiting for orders. The legate. As Starhl decides what to do, he hears movement in the forest behind him. Something heavy is coming through the forest and taking little effort to hide its presence. [B]Reznik and Kaela[/B] Uriel's face washes over in relief, but hardens quickly. [COLOR=Olive]"Quickly, follow me! The orcs are almost here!"[/COLOR] The blat of an orc horn sounds from the west, uncomfortably close. Taking the time to fetch items around Caft would prove disasterous. Turning quickly, he runs back to the Plough and Stars. Uriel's brother Tadc follows, his face red with rage. The door to the Plough and Stars swings wide as you near, Perth holding the door open. Other men in the inn display a mixture of anger and disbelief when you enter. [COLOR=Olive]"Quick!" [/COLOR] Perth shouts, ushering you in and shutting the door behind. Perth opens the door .
