The stone continues

Meanwhile...

Jorlon approached the massive wooden doors of Fort Muran, perhaps the strongest keep belonging to the order. Legions of men were stationed there. 3 miles east of the Fort was the training camps of Marathus's army. As Jorlon approached the doors, three men jumped from the bushes and ambushed him.

Men- "Attack, don't let him get away!"

Responding instantly, Jorlon dismounted the horse, and drew his Warblade. He swung at one of the men, chopping of the arm, and the thrusting the man in the stomach. While he did this, the 2nd attacker went from behind, and swung with all his might at Jorlon's shoulder. The blade broke due to the adamant armor, but Jorlons shoulder had a deep gash. Jorlon took a dagger and threw it at him, hitting the man right in the face. The commander kicked Jorlon in the face. But Jorlon used to fighting, kicked the heel of the mans foot, and he tripped backwards. Jorlon got up, and punched him in the face, knocking him unconcsious. Jorlon layed down on the ground, but to his dismay, he heard a large BOOM, and the gates opened. 21 men came out, 10 Royal Arches, 10 Royal Swordsmen, and one man having Mithril Plating and a Mithril Sword.

Marathus-"Jorlon, the man belonging to the Champions of Old, do you know why I'm here?"

Jorlon- He stood up, and answered-"I'd assume you knew of my coming Marathus."

Marathus-"THATS SIR TO YOU! And I shall have you know that I have come to place you under arrest. For the slaughter of 2 soldiers, and the assault of one commander belonging to the Order. I also believe that expells you." He had a nasty grin as he spoke this.

Jorlon-"What! You bastard, YOU SET THIS UP DIDN'T YOU! I should have known, of course you would do this. So then, whats in it for you! Trying to keep Soccious for your personal interests, or are you trying to keep all visitors captive until you have full order of the Court?"

Marathus-"Hahaha. Thats clever Jorlon, but you are not even close. I have Soccious for my own reasons, and I will not have little whelps like you intefering with my plans! Guards, take him away!"

Jorlon-"Fine then, but before you do that, I have one request."

Marathus-"Very well, then, lets hear it."

Jorlon-"Where are you keeping Soccious?"

Marathus-"Same place you are going. Yes, you two will make pleasant screams on the chair! Now then, take him away."

OOC> I'll be gone for awhile cuz my dad got a new computer and he's switching them around and stuff.

Two guards were each holding one of Jorlon's arms. His hands were tied together in a well woven elvish rope. Knowing where he was headed (he had once been stationed in this fort for half a year), he decided to take one desperate gambit. He waited until they reached the dungeon stairs. As they took the 4th step on the stairs leading downwards, Jorlon shifted all his weight backwords so the guards went flying in front of him. Next, with quick reflexes, he somersaulted foward and brought the two guards flying into the wall, letting go of Jorlon's arms. Jorlon got on his feet, broked the rope by cutting it on a jagged stone, and ran as fast as he could downwards.

Guards-"Hey! We've got a man loose, I repeat, we've got a prisoner on the run!" This call attracted the attention of 3 other guards, and they all were running after Jorlon.

Jorlon having a good lead already, reached the bottom, and rammed a jail guard down on the ground when he made his left. He quickly grabbed the guard's key and sword, and ran while the guard was still confused. "
Jorlon-"Come on, just a bit further to Soccious!" He thought to himself. He reached a door saying Strict Quarters A-3. Opening the door, he thrusted his sword into the stomach of the guard, and took his key and sword. He ran to the Evidence Chest, and opened it. He grabbed one teleportation scroll (the only one left) and ran to Soccious's cell.

Soccious-"Huh, whose there!" he yelled. Jorlon opened the door, "Come to torture me some more you paladin fiend!"

Jorlon-"Shh, be quiet." Jorlon shut the door. "Listen, I'm here to rescue you. But before I do, tell me everything you know about this operation."

Soccious-"Operation? Oh, you must mean this. Its the project of Marathus. He's working for some high power, I don't know who it is or where, I just know he needed me to decode some transcripts."

Jorlon-"Did you, and did you tell him what they meant?"

Soccious-Soccious nodded his head no. "I know what they mean, but when I discovered them, I lied and said it would take years to decode. Of course he knew I was lying."

Jorlon-"What did they say?"

Soccious-"I can't tell you... Look! Get me outta here okay!"

Jorlon-"Fine. There's only one scroll. You'll have to teleport out of here. Head to the Barshu Hills, east of Fristway Gate. I need you to decode something."

Soccious-"Got it."

Jorlon quickly cast the spell on Soccious, and after a blinding flash, he was gone.

Guards-"There he is!" The guards opened the door and grabbed Jorlon...

Jorlon- Sheathing his blade, he prepares to fight. "Die all of you, enemies of the Radiant Heart!" With that, he starts attacking the guards. After he slays two, he is overwhelmed, and the guards chain him up, and throw him in a cell.
