A/N: Please don't take any of these characters since they all belong to my
friends and I. Thanks. I would also like to thank my friend Kev who's
going to help me write this fic.
Blessed Champions: Chapter 2:
As they walked through the large corridor they noticed some kobolts at the far end near a door, talking and laughing amongst each other. They weren't sure how many but they assumed there were at least 3 of them Asham sneaked up behind them and slashed at the nearest one. Slumping to the ground in pain the kobolt stabbed at Asham with its half spear. The 2 others yelled a warning and started to flee. "I don't think so!" Nathan threw one of the bones with all his might and hit one of the kobolts in the head, killing it instantly. Vixa threw her dagger and it hit the other kobolt on its side. Aramil ran up to it and started hitting the kobolt with his bone club. Vixa, now weaponless could not do anything. She watched as the kobolt jabbed its spear into Aramil's leg, Asham thrusted his short sword at the kobolt, killing it.
"Beyond this door is where they're keeping your equipment." Asham informed them before walking into the room. The others quickly followed them while Vixa pulled her dagger out of the dead kobolt before following the others.
Once they entered the room the first thing they noticed was the huge pit. On the other side they could clearly see their armor and weapons. How to get across was the question. Jumping was out of the question. Nathan grabbed another bone and threw it on the other side, aiming to hit the switch on the other side. To his astonishment the switch budged and a bridge formed from one end to the other. They carefully walked across and grabbed their things. Vixa quickly tied her dagger to her leg. "Can you guys help me put this armor on?" Vixa suddenly shouted while attempting to put on her chain mail. They turned from what they were doing to see her stumbling about while trying to get into it.
After a few more minutes of struggling, the group was ready to go. They knew they only had a few hours left before sun rise and the only one who knew what he was doing or where they were going, was the rogue. They walked towards some of the eastern corridors because of the cries they kept hearing. They finally arrived in a long hallway lighted by torches. The cries were coming from some of the doors to the left. Nathan put his head to the door to listen for the source. Once he made sure he had the right door, he quickly opened it and shot some arrows at whoever was inside. Aramil and Vixa ran into the room with their weapons raised high in the air. Two human guards were fumbling for their weapons, clearly surprised at the group of elves.
By the time they had their weapons, one remained standing. He started to run towards the other door when Nathan shot an arrow in his back. "I think we're too late for this unfortunate soul." Aramil suddenly stated. "I can heal him, but all it would do is make him suffer some more." The group looked down at the mangled elf that was tied to the table. He was barely breathing and covered in wounds. Vixa looked away at the horrible sight, she had seen some things in the past, but this was simply unbearable. It made her stomach turn to see the elf's' insides hanging out. Nathan stared at the elf in realization that he was once his friend.
"Guys, I found some gold and money on the guards. Let's go. I'm sorry Nathan." Vixa hugged Nathan in sympathy, "Please, don't hug me." Nathan said while backing up from her. They quickly left the room after gathering some of the things that they needed. Next they decided to try the farthest door in the hallway. The door wasn't locked, so they opened it. Once inside they noticed it was a large enough room, nothing too fancy, the walls were made of solid stone. There was a door on the other end so they crossed it and ended up in another room in the same style. "Is it just me, or are all these rooms the same?" Nathan asked a little impatient. "Don't worry, after the next door, there's a long hallway that leads to the barracks. I figured the exit in the barracks is much safer than the one that leads directly into town. We have to get a key first though" Asham informed the trio. They walked to the next room, which in reality was a long twisted hallway. Asham stopped in front of the first door and listened. He heard some laughter, and then silently opened it. He motioned for Vixa to run in and attack head on, while Nathan fires arrows. Asham and Aramil would wait a few moments before charging into the midst of battle.
The two guards who were standing around talking and laughing hadn't realized what charged in before it was too late. Vixa quickly drove the blade of her sword into one of the guard's chest, the guard quickly withdrew his sword and slashed at Vixa but before hitting her, one of Nathan's arrow pierced his arm making the blow miss. Dislodging her sword from the corpse Vixa arched her sword in front of her making a deep gash on the guards' chest. The guard slumped to the floor just as another arrow lodged deeply into his chest and with a gurgle of blood the guard fell to the floor. They looted whatever gold was on the humans' bodies and continued on with their escape. Nathan noticed a door; he creaked it open and peered inside. There was small hallway lit by torch lights. Nathan sensed a trap so he told the others to stay back. He grabbed one of the guards' swords and tossed it on the floor. The beautiful rug and carpet fell into a 10 foot deep pit. It was only 5 feet wide so it would be easy enough to jump across.
Once across they walked a few feet and came to a small wooden door. Asham carefully opened it and told Nathan to run in and point his arrow at the sleeping man. All four "friends" surrounded the human, and Asham shook him so he'd wake up. "Move and die human." Nathan said menacingly. The human looked at everyone around him and didn't budge. "You have something we need. A key. Give it. Now." Nathan continued. "I don't have any keys, just leave me be." "Search him Vixa." Nathan ordered. Vixa, not wanting to cause anymore conflict moved up to the human to search his surrounding. As soon as she came close enough to him, the human pressed a button and a stone block fell in front of the door. No sooner had the human pressed the button, Nathan had impaled an arrow in the humans head. "Guys, I don't want to seem worried, but this room is filling up with water and fast." Aramil quietly mentioned.
