That holy place thingy the dwarves have... deep underground.

(this is from the log of Tindo Beren Smartmouth that he secretly writes on his travels)



Yup, we had just saved the two dwarves that was left in the dwarven city, or... there might have been more, but we couldn't see any. Anyway, they asked us to go save a holy place the orcs, bugbears and goblins had occupied. And so we set out. Now, goblins we could handle, orcs are stronger, but thankfully easier to kill then your average housecat, so unless you lett them hit you, youll be fine even if your only weapon is a rapier and that lousy excuse they call daggers in these parts of the known world. Unfortunatly, there seems to be other creatures then those around as well. I don't know if the dwarves knew of them, or whether they just didn't care to tell us about them. I suspect the latter, but I'll hold an apparence of not believing it to be so, so as to not alarm the others. There were larva-like huge thingies blocking the way. The first one proved hard to kill, but then again, he didn't really do any damage, so it didn't really matter much.  The other one however was not as easy. No matter how hard i cut, or how deep, his wounds always seemed to heal right after. That is, until that woolhead of a monk finally landed one of his bare handed strikes. He may not be much in the area of conversation, but he can come in handy now and then... The thing, that by the way had four more tentacles than most larvas I've ever seen, escaped. Kind of sad seeing as how I'd like to study it and find more weaknesses, so I could destroy more of its kind.

Well, seeing as how the thing escaped and we were free to go further in, we did. And it just so happened that we stumbled over a more or less fortified and guarded bridge. As I've said, goblins aren't really much of a threat, until they get together and bond. Still, the orcs were the first to actually charge. Hamato went straight at one of them, and I took on another. Didn't really see much of Hamatos battle, and the two other were behind me somewhere, but mine? I dodged as hard as I could, keeping just out of reach for the heavy battleax swinging towards me from up front. I had my rapier in hand, and were about to throw a strike with my dagger as well when suddenly everything got light. Bright light. In front of me stood now a pile of burning flesh and bones that might have been the orc charging towards me merely six seconds earlier. And behind Aliela was hard in concentration. striking goblin after goblin down with a lightning fury that I couldn't even summon an illusion of, no more duplicate. I'm honestly scared of that gal now. I'm gonna be miles away at first sign of her monthly.
