Hazardous Times Part IX (fresh blood - not literally, please! - welcome) - Page 13

The secret army that Bazguul had sneaking out of the labrynths followed their trail to the outskirts of the city, then they found themselves behind the troops of do-gooders that were attacking. They began to silently encircle the outer perimeter, as Bazguul had directed. Elsewhere, in the underground world that Bazguul had created, the preparations were complete. He was content if the paladins wanted to destroy the upper city, but if they found the entrance to his nest, and tried to come down...they would only regret it.

OOC>> Oh, my! Now I know who Bazguul really is. He's the Modding Mage! IC>
ELIZA (As she is riding back from the field hospital, she runs into a group of the other army) "To arms! Intruders! Help me here! We are betrayed!"

Attalus · 05-19-2002, 12:16 PM

OOC>> O.K., the gloves are off. IC>
SIR BLANDAMOUR (He hears Eliza's lonely cry as the army pours in through the breach that they had made.) "Sir Bors! Pull all of the army into the city with the seige equipment! We far outnumber the defenders, and they seem half-hearted in their fighting, anyhow. Let us man the walls and throw up a barricade at the breach. I will set up the rear-guard."

SIR BORS (Standing on the wall, surveying the scene)"All right, my boy. Yes, we can hold out here against the other army. I can see their outriders now. Go and join your squire. She seems to be anticipating you in setting up the rear guard. Take Sir Brian and Sir William with you."

Attalus · 05-19-2002, 01:03 PM

SIR BLANDAMOUR(He hurriedly mounts Shaitann and rides with the other two Knights and their squires to where Eliza has gathered the sappers and several men-at-arms to hold the other army away from the rear of their forces struggling to get the last of the seige engines into the city so that they will not be used against them. Eliza is fighting like a buzz-saw, her sword flashing as she holds the motley demon army at bay.) "Hang on, Eliza, we are coming." (to the sapper commander) Get those sappers inside the wall, Waldo."

Galadria · 05-19-2002, 01:10 PM

ELIZA (She grits her teeth with concentration as she splits the head of a much larger opponent.) "My Lord, you are here! I thoughtto die here with these good fellows. Will you help Davies there with that troll-like creature? I fear it is getting the better of him." (as her opponent falls, she stabs another in the chest as it tries an overhand cut at her.)

Galadria · 05-19-2002, 01:27 PM

BRITOMART (Having been deputed by Bazguul (

) to lead the counter-strike, she is frustrated to see the opposing army slipping into the town. Looking around, she sees her advance fouled on th knot of resistance developing around Eliza and Blandamour. She spurs he horrse forward and immediately sees the banneret of Blandamour, which Eliza has stuck in the ground beside her. She barely notices the slight figure of her former slave, hidden as she is by the armor, but she knows that flag, having lost the privilege of carrying it, once, long ago. Blandamour of the Iron Arm! Yes, there he is, towering over everyone else as he beheads the troll he is fighting. No-one had ever defeated him in the lists, it was said. Well, she would just see. She slams her visor shut and lowers her lance.) "Ho, there, you, Blandamour! I hear that bird on your crest is a chicken, and that your mother was a whore! Fight me, now!"

Attalus · 05-19-2002, 01:33 PM

SIR BLANDAMOUR (to Britomart) "Ay, harridan, I hear you and recognize that device on your shield that you disgrace every time you pick it up. Gladly will I fight you, and, as for your slurs, I shall disprove them on your body." (He lowers his lance and Shaitann spurs forward, his nostrils dilated and his black mane streaming in the fetid battle air.)

Galadria · 05-19-2002, 01:41 PM

BRITOMART (She spurs her horse, too, startled by the sudden intensity of the attack. Her bemusment has terrible consequences, for she lets the point of her lance waver, and it slides harmlessly off of Blandamour's shield. His point strikes true, though, guided by the skill of a thousand tournaments. Aided by Shaitann's tremendous strength, it pierces her shield and her armor, lodging grimly in her back-plate before breaking. She is carried off of her horse and falls flat on her back, the iron-shod broken lance point protruding from her breast. Her eyes are open and staring, her soul fled. Her troops, seeing her fall, begin to panic and retreat.)

Ar-Cunin · 05-19-2002, 02:18 PM

Suddently arrows start falling among the retreating forces - the elves have arrived and are picking off the enemy one by one

Sanael Ganahr

rushes up to meet his kinsmen

"Well - that was a timely arrival. Did Lord Celefin recieve my message?"

The elven leader pauses to reply

"Actually, we left early, cousin - our sages foresaw that our aid would be needed here" - he fires off another arrow - "but I'm sure our Lord will recieve it sooner or later"

Attalus · 05-19-2002, 02:35 PM

SIR BLANDAMOUR((Shaitann in his wrath overpasses the fallen Britomart. With his knees, he turns the horse back to where the traitor lies, drawing his sword. Seeing that she is dead, he spits upon the ground.) "So perish, betrayer of the Order, tormentor of your sister, and enemy of all that is good. If I perish today, that shall be the thing that I will be glad of, that you fell to me." (He spurs Shaitann toward the retreating demonic army.)
