Description

The trip through the mountain would save several days on the representatives already long trip. Forward scouts reported no hostiles present in the area, but the peaceful ambassadors were on edge none the less. The shortcut through the mountain has been a favorite ambush site for orc squads in the past, but the rescent clearing of monsters in the pass in early spring led them to believe all was well. With only a few hundred yards to the entrance of the passage their worst fears were realized. Movement from behind forced them into a charge for the entrance. Before they could enter a host of orcs blocked their path. The party had a half dozen well trained fighters as escort, but they would not likely be able to stand against the score of orcs quickly surrounding them. Their fears were briefly compounded as they watched the dark figure approaching from behind the orcs blocking their way. They assumed she was their leader, until scimitars appeared through the front of two orcs as they screamed their last dying breaths. Shandara quickly withdrew her blades and waded into the battle. Several of the escort fighters were down before the way was cleared for the dignitaries to enter the passage. Shandara rallied the remaining three and they made their stand to buy the others time to escape. More than a dozen orcs battled the four and the escorts, while well trained, were no match for the sheer numbers. When the last one fell a half dozen orcs remained and squared off against Shandara. As much as she wants to leave her dark heritage behind, Shandara knows there is a time and place for returning to the primal truth of her existance. The remaining orcs now stood face to face with a drow assassin. A ruthlessly effecient killer, the likes of which none of them had ever seen. As the confident and blissfully ignorant group closed in on her, Shandara defiantly uttered the last words any of them would ever hear. "You shall not pass." Enjoy, -Arakas

LOL! Anyone for Orc meat for supper? Anyone? Look, there's plenty! Shandara cleans up again. What a gal! Who wouldn't love such an efficient girl? Apart from Orcs, I mean. Another brilliant Shandara image. Brilliant, mate. Keep 'em coming!
