Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyOne" data-source="post: 977553" data-attributes="member: 858">--Being an excerpt from the Chronicle of Graves, by GhanoDays later, the tribulations of Kotso would spiral to their inevitable conclusion.  The four companions were roused early in the morning by the sounds of battle and terror.  Visel’s men had descended on the village by river boat in the early moments of dawn, quickly alighting much of the village and taking a multitude of prisoners.  Preda and her armsman Joda, rallied the garrison to action.  Beneath the hillfort, the warrior Halek, known as the “White” for his flowing white beard and infamous in the region for his cruelty had assembled his host and awaited Preda’s response.  The Engolthen warriors swept down through the gate and met Halek’s men.  One does not need to detail the outraged fury of Preda’s Engolthen armsmen, suffice to say they charged down the hill recklessly and without fear.  In the centre of Halek’s battleline he had assembled several noble warriors, doubtlessly of Visel’s house guards.  To these, the four companions made haste, bowstrings strumming in the smoke filled air.  The battle rang out around them as they entered the fray with Halek and his men.  Boian had charged down the hill with them and was engaged with one of Halek’s supporters.  Then at a critical moment, Boian, displayed his betrayal and struck at Bragon.  The big Niadan took the blow, sliding away at the last moment and fought back desperately.   Thus it was revealed that Boian had sought Preda and Orvogan’s downfall.    Bragon and Fintain finally cut down Halek who fell cursing their mothers and Boian fled the field seeing that the day was lost.  Visel’s levies began to stream away as Preda’s remaining warriors and villagers gained the upper hand.  They fled into the woodlands or made their way to the beached riverboats.  Thus was Kotso’s last battle fought, but in so doing the village was undone...  </blockquote>
