Dabuk was as close as family could be.“We must defend ourselves first,” the words felt hollow to the Justiciar. “If more of us fall then all will be lost, including Dabuk. Magic may yet save his life.”Garth watched as the two ogres stood over his son’s body. He wanted nothing more than to gut those two beasts. However, the foul merrow in front of him was determined to block his path. He lunged forward burying his sword up to its hilt.“You don’t understand, you weren’t there!” Bactra looked at Mesik then back towards his fallen cousin. “We have to heal him before his soul passes on.”“What are you blabbering about.” Garth knew watching his son die would be a hard lesson, but he knew several clerics and druids who could bring his son back. He’d have to abandon the mission, of course, but hopefully Carl would understand.“It was years ago.” Mesik ran as he spoke. “Shortly after we first met Dvalin and Jeddar.”The halfling dived under the legs of an ogre, coming up on his feet behind the beast. Sheao came loose from his scabbard slicing in a backward arc through the tendons of the ogre’s legs. The beast grunted trying to kick out at the small hairfoot. He fell to the ground instead, his hamstrings severed. Bactra cast ice knife just in time to skewer the arm of an approaching merrow. “We took the oath with Mesik. All of us.”“What oath are you-,” then it hit Garth in the heart. They had sworn their lives to the judgement of Hade’s Underrealm. “Damn, why didn’t he tell me this. Why didn’t you!”Garth slashed out with his sword slicing off the head of the hamstrung ogre. He stood over Mesik, rage in his eyes.“It was an oath amongst friends,” Mesik sidestepped a club blow. “It wasn’t meant for you or Carl to know.”“What is this oath?” Hougwarth puts his knee into the back of an ogre grappling with Kellin. The beast’s spine makes a satisfying crunch.“If he truly dies, he cannot be resurrected.” Mesik looked to Thessa. “You must come with me, now!”Thessa reached out grabbing Mesik’s hand. Bactra follows behind as they approach the fallen ranger’s body and the two ogres guarding their kill. Garth can do nothing but pray as an ogre and merrow move to flank him.*                                        *                                        *</blockquote>
