Back at the Fair Clearing

Looking around you, you can see several of your fellow captives  have figured out that if they just lie there then they will be just as dead as if they made a dash for the woods.

One of them catches your eye. “I’ve got my ropes loose” they whisper hoarsely “…get over here I’ll free you too..”

Wriggling nearer you see a few of the others looking grimly determined.

Suddenly a shout of pain echos from the far side of the clearing; down near where the DWarven cottages lay smoldering. A Volley of Arrows and a brace of the Orcs spun over with a dozen arrows shared between them! Rescue?

The Guards near you start and glare in the direction of the commotion. A larger Orc comes bursting out of the log cabin flanked by two of his biggest warriors. Guttural orders are exchanged and maybe a dozen Orcs tear off in the direction of the skirmish from all parts of the clearing.

Half your guards have gone as well leaving only two Slightly wounded Orcish warriors half glaring at you half trying to see what their fellows had run into. Tense moments pass as your companion twists your knotted bonds. A moment before you feel them go slack a group of figures burst from the Woods nearest you and charge the two remaining guards…

 

And thats where we’ll have to leave it till we start I think. If you have read the little tale here my thanks and I hope you have gleaned SOME idea of what’s about to happen and what you likely up against 🙂
