The old troll shoots past Shalandra as she steps out trying to draw her blade and stop the old troll. However, with a whistle Shalandra grasps Shalamar's saddle in a practiced movement between the two, placing her on the saddle and armed in pursuit of the troll. Garrott runs after her but realises that Todiel is easily outdistancing him and slows his pace.
Temorya, enervated by his return to form blows chilling air from his hands to form a crust of ice on the ground beneath the troll. Todiel manages to maintain his footing though as he reaches the edge of the doorway out, Shalandra hot in pursuit. Pean weaves the astral energy he needs through his matrix as he sees the troll reach the lip of the entrance, readying his aim for release.
Maerath shouts out as he draws his blade and throws it. The whistling blade only narrowly misses the newcomers the throw is so poorly aimed and clatters off the wall, leaving a notable nick in the blades cutting edge. Farli snarls in frustration as the troll is well past her but begins to move after him, careful not to slip on the icy surface that Temorya has created.
Todiel hits the lip of the door and takes off. He runs as quickly as his troll legs will carry him over the sharp shale and up toward the lip of the ravine. Temorya flies up and out of the doorway, keeping his eyes on the troll but sees that he already has too much of a jump on him to be of much use. Pean also moves to the lip of the door, ready to throw the spear but sees that Todiel has managed to leave the spells range. He lets the mist dissipate as he watches Shalamar chase the troll with Shalandra on his back ready to strike at the fleeing body thief.
Shalandra and Shalamar run past Todiel and you see her strike the troll with the lance she settled just moments ago. Shalamar wheels around and you can no longer see Todiel. Shalandra drops from the horse and lowers herself to the ground and calls back to you all.
"He is unconscious but alive!"
With some help from you all you manage to help the ancient troll bloodied and unconscious back into the entrance chamber. You see that Shalamar's hooves are also cut and bleeding from running on the shale and you marvel at the bond between her and Shalandra that would make the beast continue to run in such pain. Shalandra begins to tend to her horse as the doors are finally closed and you can devote your full attention to your new guests.
"Indeed, your life is still full of action my friend!" Kerrik laughs lightly as he talks to Garrott. You do see Kerriks eyes wander on occasion to the other ork, Elklisee. The figure of Kerrik is impressive. He stands at just over 6 foot and is covered in well worn and camoflaged leathers with well worn riding boots and a backpack over his shoulder. All of the rest of the group has made it into the room and look at the two newcomers with interest.
<Your moves please. Make sure you check your character page for any notes.>
<I have only received one update to a character since awarding LP. There are a few points there, remember you can freely advance and learn up to circle three. Once there you will need to find a master.>
