Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hrothgar" data-source="post: 3136834" data-attributes="member: 22226">Starhl's sword crashes against one of the orc's attacking Ensin, but slips down the orc's armor harmlessly, sparks flying.  Turning, the orc snarls a challenge, its vardatch shrieking down the length of Bjorn's Faith to rip into Starhl's thigh.  The Wolf follows Starhl's lead and grips the other orc's haunches with its powerful jaws, shaking and ripping, failing to take the orc off its feet.  Valurel's claws slash at the orc attacking the Elf, one of the claws catching its throat and spilling its life blood on the cobblestones.  The orc stumbles back a few steps before crashing into the alleyway dead.  Ensin continues to fight defensively, persperation and intense pain lining his face.  Northman!  We must flee!  The battle is lost and our forces separated!  The Beast of Shadow will consume us all! Ensin screams above the din of battle.  The single orc attacking Ensin is unable to break Ensin's defense.  From Herger's side, a single charging orc arrives at the battle and swings wildly at Valurel, narrowly missing the Elf's head.OOC: Starhl missed with his attack and the attacking orc inflicted six points of damage on Starhl.  The other orc is attacking Ensin and is unhurt.  The charging orc from the last post missed Valurel.  There are a total of 3 orcs attacking Ensin, Starhl, and Valurel.Kaela's despair manifests as a gray mist that obscures herself, Bowen, and the attacking orc in the alleyway.  Bowen backs to Kaela's side, pulling on the young girl as she tries to convince Kaela to flee.  Good work, young Kaela!  We must flee!  Nearby, a massive shape looms in the mist.  The orc!  Snarling, its vardatch scythes through the damp air, easily missing the two woman as it seeks to find them in the mist.  Nearby, another charging orc sails past the two woman, the two women camoflouged in the concealing mist.OOC: The charging orc has no idea where the two women are and is attacking wildly.  The orc attacking Bowen is swinging wildly, but at least has an idea where the pair is.  The Obscuring Mist has only a 20 foot radius, so it extends about 10 feet short of the attacking legate.  Starhl, Valurel, and Ensin are sixty feet or so further south.Above sounds of battle, the legate screams in frustration as his flaming sword, the manifestation of his god's power, scythes through the mist.  Crush them, Horror of Shadow!  Kill them! the legate shrieks.  With a reptilian hiss, massive jaws snap at the legate, its anger rising with horrible hissing, unwilling to follow this legate's orders.  The legate stumbles back, unwilling to face the massive creature as it advances from the ruined building, walking on massive, ruinous legs and claw tipped wings.  The orc captain flees in terror as the legate scrambles against a wall.  Standing above Herger, the massive reptile snakes its head in the direction of Starhl, Valurel, and Ensin and then northward towards the mist filled alleyway.  Issuing a shrieking hiss, a challenge to the Heroes, the beast grips Herger in its mighty talons.Lodric steps back uncertainly, Murdoch doing likewise.  Fighting flesh and steel is one thing, but the undead?  The cloaked figures do not move, but merely watch the two begin to move back.  Unexpectedly, from behind, something crashes through the underbrush.  Two figures run through the trees and brambles no more than sixty feet away, one an old man, the other a powerful, scarred warrior carrying an unconscious young girl.</blockquote>
