[QUOTE="biorph, post: 1436520, member: 10426"] [b]Behind Black Walls[/b] Pinned down by the arrows, no one was sure what to do. Solafioen as usual withdrew. Zyff and Kem climbed the canyon walls high into the fog to avoid being seen by the archer behind the black wall. Sargazzo and Ruen both charge into the darkness. Neither of them said anything.
