Tharhack slams the roof of her home again, creating a huge dent in the top of her abode. She quickly summons another one of her spiders, having this one appear on the trunk of the tree wielded by Tharhack. The spider scuttles down the tree, and sinks its fangs into Tharhack’s arm. The surprise of the attack and the pain of the bite, conspire to cause Tharhack to drop the tree onto Raziel’s home. Rillkep watches from afar as the huge spider scurries down the tree, then watches Tharhack drop the tree onto the earth mound. He watches Raziel bound up the fallen tree with unearthly speed, the witches hands change into long fingers which sprout even longer nails. Tharhack swats off the spider, and shakes his left arm. The witch springs off the tree like a cat pouncing on a mouse, Tharhack puts his hands up to ward off the witch but even though he manages to keep her body off of him, her nails are long enough to rip into the flesh on his chest. Rillkep sees the rivulets of red almost immediately. Rillkep rolls his eyes and starts off towards Tharhack, figuring he’ll have to save the day again. Just as he rounds the tree he was hiding behind, Rillkep spots a dark figure moving through the trees to his left. The figure is a mountain of man, easily bigger than even Tharhack. Rillkep stares at the figure walking straight towards him, Rillkep pans over the Tharhack and can see that more of Tharhack’s skin is bleeding, and the snow under Tharhack’s feet is a bright pink. The witch moves with cat like quickness and reflexes, dodging in to swipe at Tharhack before Tharhack is able to return the blow. Rillkep doesn’t see the spider and is hopeful it no longer lives. Looking back to his left, Rillkep doesn’t see the giant anymore. Rillkep’s heart pounds as he tries to locate the giant, looking around he can’t find him. Rillkep decides that it must’ve been a trick of the light, shrugs his shoulders, and turns to go help Tharhack.“Wait little boy.” A deep gravely voice comes down from the skyRillkep reflexively covers his head, and falls to his knees.“What goes over there?” The voice sounds off againShaking with fear, Rillkep looks up, the voice isn’t coming from the heavens. It’s coming from the mouth of the ugliest thing he’s ever seen, standing midway up the tree next to him, Rillkep tries to twist his body to get his feet back under him.“There. What goes over there?” The man asks Rillkep while pointing at Tharhack and the witch“Uh. A witch.” Rillkep stammers out “Attacking my friend”“Witch bad yes?” The voice asks“Oh yes, very much so. Very bad. I should go and help my friend.” Rillkep answers backing away from the giant.“You like witch dead?” The giant man asks“Yes, dead witch is good.” Rillkep answers shaking his head yesRillkep looks up at stares at the man; the first thing he notices is the man’s face. Pointed ears like an elf’s frame a face that has bulging eyebrows, red eyes, and black hair that resembles a lion’s mane. It’s massive body is encased in plate armor save for his hands, one of which clutches half the trunk of the tree next to him, the other points at Tharhack and the witch.“Me kill witch, me hero?” Rillkep didn’t know if that was a question or a statement“By all means, be my guest.” Rillkep answersThe man strides out towards the two combatants. Rillkep gets to his feet and tries to follow but to quickly out distance by the long strides of the giant. Rillkep looks up and sees Tharhack fighting with only one arm, the other grips at his side. Rillkep wishes he had acted sooner, but hopes that the giant can make a difference before Tharhack falls. The witch looks more like an animal than a humanoid; even her teeth have become longer and drip with blood that surely came from Tharhack. Another swipe from the witch, and Tharhack drops to one knee.“Now my orcish friend, I will show you true fear!” Raziel shouts. Stepping back she barks out words to bring a summoned creature to her aid. This time not one but two large spiders are brought into existence. “Tear into his primed flesh my babies, unleash your burning poison, make him suffer. But, do it slowly I like the anticipation of death.” Raziel“To hell with you witch, I’m done playing your game.” Tharhack answers, unsheathing his greatsword from his back. “Oooo, big man carries a pointy stick.” Raziel states “Take him” She orders the spidersThe spiders begin their slow crawl towards Tharhack. Tharhack attempts to stand but drops back down on one knee. Looking for Rillkep Tharhack turns to see a large man leap over the downed tree Tharhack put on Raziel’s house, and land on it’s roof.“Aargg!!” The man shouts as his greatsword slices through the air and splits both spiders in two.A small smile escapes Tharhack’s lips, as he sees Rillkep circling around behind Raziel.“Witch, me kill you” The man points and tells Raziel“EEEkk!! Raziel shouts turning to face this new threat. “You killed my babies! I shall fillet your hide with my toenail as you wail in agony beast!” “Gothmog say no to aginnee, yes to wailing on you.” The man says“You’re a stupid beast, and your threat is hallow. Feel my threat!” Raziel shouts as she bends her knees ready to spring up and onto the man. Rillkep’s blade slashes out, and slices across the witch’s back. Causing Raziel to do a small hop instead. The delay in battle has allow Tharhack enough time to pump two cure moderate wounds into himself. Raziel looks around to see a halfling to her right, a half-orc in front of her, and a half-something to her left.</blockquote>
