Cinematic Shore-Up...
Alembregh's Warhorn sounds, causing the Orcs to pause, looking to see who this new factor is. As Elspeth's arrows and Mohgyrm's Psions fall, with Temperlain bolt and the axes and blades of those allied with Alembregh cleaving a path through the orcs; Duranom and Turlogh find targets, gutting Orcs left and right, Denzenei and Skezzketh snapping orcish necks with fists and spinning kicks.
Stori blasts the orcs with Fire, killing another ogre and a dozen orcs. The orcs quickly run north, finding themselves cut off, as the Clan Hurdrinn Dwarfs have rallied under the clarion call of this new Ally. Grim red-armored Dwarfs, bladed bracers sporting 'claws' some 2 feet long stand against those seekng respite from the Temperlain Dwaves and their Companions.All are caught in the slaughter, save one orc seeking to escape down the western alley, a dwarf child in his arms, destined for some pot or godsforsaken Hell. The orc sees not the small shape move from the Shadows above him, on a ledge, running along with him, pacing him, as the cries of the little Dwarf resound amongst the alley, forgotten by those involved in slaughter. Years later the Dwarf would grow into a fine Warrior herself, and to the day she died, she would tell her friends of the Ghost that had saved her that day, cutting down the orc and spiriting her away, into the very wall, through a shadowy Realm, depositing her a few moments later against a building so very near where her People had just finished killing the Orcs that had attacked them that day.He had bowed and smiled at her before he left, she wiping away the tears long enough to see him clearly,the Ghost with a pale Jasper Stone that served him as his eye...
**********************************************
The sounds of wounded Dwarfs and the few remaining dyng Orcs were receding rament using his skills as a healer, along with several of the Hurdrinn Dwarfs to do what they couldfor the wounded....The battle had gone spectacularly, with no loss to the Temperlain forces, and no Dwarfs taken as slaves by the foul Orcs. The Hurdrinn dwarfs had lost a dozen of their brethren, however, but they looked used to such things and seemed more concerned that those taken captive were safe, these mostly women and young.
A Dwarf dressed in gold and red plate steps forward, removing his bear-faced helm, greeting you all with an aged face worn by many years and battles, no few scars upon it. Addressing Alembregh, this Dwarf says
'I am Gembrin Hurdrinn, leader of Clan Hurdrinn here in Cuvaghn, prince Temperlain. Today you have earned a staunch ally, for I do know of your Quest. Come, we can talk in my Home regarding the situation here in the city.'
The Prince signals for you all to return to the Inn, after helping secure the area. Along with Rament and Duranom, Alembregh goes with the Hurdrinn Dwarfs ,leaving you all to your own devices.
