[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2957288, member: 22226"] Valurel melts into the building's shadows, crouching near Aislinn. The girl sits on her knees, her ears straining to discern the events taking place around her. Gripping the Ghost's forearm, she whispers, [COLOR=Olive]Valurel, what is happening? Are the others all right? I thought I heard orcs![/COLOR] Next to her, Fallax hisses, [COLOR=DarkOrange]Erunsil, let us flee! The others can catch up to us! We are fools to leave Aislinn so close to danger![/color] Outside, Herger stands in front of the building's sagging doorway, peering into the fog looking for his companions. The fog seems to thicken as he hears Kaela speak the strange words once again. Shivering despite the warmth in the night air, Herger's eyes spot the orcs, now only tens of feet away, but their forms fade with the thickening of the fog. [COLOR=SlateGray](OOC: maddmic has not replied, so I assumed Herger would stand guard near the entrance and seek to make sure everyone made it inside safely.)[/COLOR] Taking a step back, Kaela calls on the magic of Aryth once again, its fluid form coalescing into wisps of thick fog. In front of her, Starhl and the Wolf stand between the bloated Fell, its wounds leaking diseased water. With a hiss its fist whistles through the air, but only glances off Starhl's upraised arm. With the Wolf tearing its rotten, flabby thigh, Starhl swings madly, seeking to end the battle quickly. With a sick "chunk", the blade cleaves through its neck, its head dangling awkwardly. Still the Fell comes forward, teeth snapping in anticipation for flesh, the very essence of Shadow seeming to drive it on.
