OOC>>>You wanna war?
okay...I'll give you a war!
I had hoped that TAO would be around to play in this...I had plans for her...but let's at least get started since you are edgy .
I will try to keep magic to a sensible, explainable level. But if I can dream it up, I will try it. You guys just have to out-think me !!
The messenger ran as fast as he could to tell Bazguul what had happened. Smiling to himself, he reached over to one of the cages and yanked the child through the bars, severing his arms off since this shoulders would not fit through. The remaining children screamed in horror. Bazguul handed the bloody child that had past out from the pain to the messenger and said,
"Take this to the one who spoke to you. Tell him...I decided to be generous and release one of them!"
The messenger was sick to his stomach, but did as he was bode. He through the barely alive child to the ground in front of the paladin when he got to the gates. He looked into the eyes of the apparent leader, and said..."I hope you are ready to die, paladin!", then prodiced a dagger from his belt and raced toward the man.
In the tunnels under the city, Bazguul was making his own preparations. He was ordering the humans to several tasks, and sending some up through the back way out of the city to be used in strategy when he ordered it. He thumbed the amulet in thought.
