Somewhat later in the first age (LotR roleplay part 2)

For the group fighting the wargs:

Two more wargs are circling the group although they have moved away to a distance of 20 meters.

OOC: Yeah, I just wanted to run into the woods in case others were following him.

Celedor realizes that the orc was alone, and continues his tracking of the orcs...while watching (and smelling) for any straglers. Trying to keep downwind and skirt the edge of the trees if at all possible.

[dplax]

For Celedor:

It took Celedor several hours to catch up with the orcs, and after that he tracked them for several more hours, right into the night, when finally the orcs made camp. As Celedor prepared to settle into a comfortable position from which he could watch them he suddenly heard a voice from behind him.

"Do not worry , I am your friend. I have been watching you for some time. The orc which smelt you out behind the boulder has told his companions about your presence. The orcs plan to trap you tonight. I'd suggest you come with me for the night while our men watch the orcs. Our settlement is not far." - said the male elvish voice. Turning around Celedor can see an elf dressed as a ranger.

"Very well" Celedor said, following the elf.

For Celedor:

The elf led him 2 miles into the forest where a rope was thrown down to them from high up in a tree and they climbed up. They spent the night up in the trees eating, drinking and talking. Celedor found out that the elven ranger was called Feldorn and that he seemed to know quite a lot about the stronghold and its surroundings. As the sun started to rise an elf suddenly popped his head up onto the felt they were on.

"Glamog rinc!"

Feldorn stood up and picked up his gear.

"The orcs are leaving. If you don't mind I shall journey with you to where the orcs are going as I have some friends there."

OOC>>>I am taking liberties with this post in assuming my collegue would alert us of the approaching horses.

Turin

The warning was given and Turin hand-signalled all that was with him off the road and to lay low. He had the guard that was with him took the left-side of the road and the other two (Terias and Kirun) took the opposite side. Now all there was to do was wait and see what came along. They did not know if it were friend or foe, so better to lay low and think about it in order to save time, as a battle might cost them the time they needed to save Karam's life.

For Turin, Terias and Kirûn (hoping Cienden is still active):

Soon not only Terias but also the others could hear the horses approach. They first spotted the dust which a lot of horses would make and then they spotted the horses. As the group got closer they noticed that most of the horses were riderless. Of the near fifty horses only four had riders.

As they got nearer the guard Turin had positioned on the other side of the road stood up and waved at them. He then turned to Turin:

"These men serve Kalam."

The riders, seeing the guard, stopped the horses and while two of them approached the other two watched over the riderless horses.

Adohorn

As the Warg whom Adohorn had filled with arrows finally fell to the ground, it's body a meer lump which would no longer be of any use, he breathed out; not noticing that he had actually been holding his breath while shooting it. Maybe this was for extra accuracy or maybe just because he hadn't fought in a while and was nervous, but it didn't really matter for the little creature had easily been slayin.

But it wasn't over. Running out came another batch of four Wargs. They were quick to encicle the group. Adohorn, knowing from past experiences that Wargs were stupid creatures when acting alone, wasn't at all worried by this, and drew his daggers, after slinging his bow back over his shoulder. He was prepared to wait for them to attack him. He was suprised therfore, when Keal jumped out and attacked one of the beasts, and then another. He just didn't seem to have the same gracious nature as Adohorn. Still, he did manage to take the two out quickly. However this didn't bode well for the elf, for the other Wargs would no doubt attack him now, after he had killed members of their pack.

Seeing the distracted faces of the remaining Wargs, Adohorn took the time to lunge forward, pointing his daggers down, towards an eye, then a throat. The movement was over in a matter of seconds, and the Warg was left screaming with a dagger through its eye and into its throat. Adohorn didn't take great pleasure in hurting things, so he quickly finished it off with his other dagger. Pulling the two daggers out he decided he would leave the last Warg standing where it was, hoping Keal would be able to deal with it; and ran towards Therlion, who was on the ground and looked to be in some pain. He looked at the man, not knowing whether he was concious or if his efforts had fully spent him. "Are you ok Therlion? You look like you could use a hand, do you need anything, or any medical attention?" Adohorn whispered, not wanting to startle the man.

The last warg

Her companions had been easily killed by this group of adventurers, but as had happened before in battles she was the last of her group to survive. She thought about fleeing but then had a better idea. Avoiding the swinging swords of Keal the warg bounded past him and in an extremely long leap leapt at the horse upon which Kalam was and tore the horse's throat open. As Keal ran towards the warg it jumped up on some rocks then sailed over Keal and hit Therlion's horse and with its massive jaws opened its throat also. Agilely jumping away from Adohorn's kick the warg ran past Keal once again and bounded off towards the distance. Adohorn nimbly swung his bow off his back fitted an arrow in the quiver and fired and hit. Keal. Keal who had started to pursue the fleeing warg had moved in the wrong moment and Adohorn's arrow hit him in the right shoulder. The warg disappeared around a rock face.

[Keal]

Keal kneels to the ground, and slowly pulls out the arrow, as blood dripped down his arm."Good thing I'm lefty."Keal says in slight pain. Keal walks to Kalam holding the wound, and checks the man for injury's."He should be okay."
