Light at the End
Harrison caught up to the rest and they walked in silence. Soon, the came to a strait away with light at the end of the end of the tunnel. The all ran to the opening.
Stop! Wait for me to look ahead! Yelled Fingarel
Everybody stopped and waited for Fingarel to scout ahead. Fingarel stepped forward and removed his sword and armor.
I want absolute silence until I return. Sullendesslar, keep an eye down that tunnel. Said Fingarel
With that, Fingarel started off outside. He slowly crept forward and knelt down in the long grass. Not seeing anything, he laid down flat on his stomach and started crawling forward. He came to the edge of the long grass and saw a small band of orcs sitting down, eating the flesh of dead soldiers. Fingarel looked around and saw a line of trees that they could run to. They would have to be fast to avoid being killed by the orcs. They would most likely be seen but there were so few orcs that they had a good chance of escape. Please with his reconnaissance, Fingarel made his way back to the tunnel. He arrived to find that everyone was sitting down listening to Grissle telling a story.
I trust I'm not interrupting anything important said Fingarel
No, I was just telling them about the time I-
Fingarel cut in.
There are a few orc sitting out there. We can make it to the trees if we run. Eon, you must be carried. Ivan, if you don't mind Sullendesslar can carry your hammers. Grissle, Avariel, will you be able to keep up
Yes. Replied Avariel
You would be surprised at the speed of a gnome, much less Grissle Shin Kicker!
Good, I want Ivan in front, followed by Avariel then Grissle and then me and Sullendesslar. Run to the trees, when we get there, Ivan, guide everybody to the plain. Wait there for everyone else to catch up. We must move now before more orcs show up.
Ivan handed his hammers to Harrison and motioned for Eon to jump on his back.
If you value your life, hold on tight. Said Ivan
Eon grabbed a hold of Ivan's back and wrapped his arms around Ivan's neck. Ivan stepped forward, ready to run.
Fingarel, did it ever occur to you that we never found the group of men Asked Harrison
By the looks of it, the orcs did. Let's move! Yelled Fingarel
At the start, Ivan bolted with alarming speed, unhindered by Eon. Behind him ran Grissle and then Avariel. She moved swiftly, without sound. Harrison followed after her. They were about twenty five yards out when Harrison heard the orcs yell. Immediately, they let loose a volley of arrows, falling alarmingly close.
Keep moving! Yelled Fingarel behind them
The tree line was only yards away. Suddenly, Harrison had the wind knocked out of him and his left side went numb. He started to slow. He made it just past the tree line and then collapsed. Darkness.
