h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yaah!

*Shoulders the bow, and makes a series of quick jumps to a safer tree. She pulls out her staff, and casts a spell that when done properly, will make tree roots emerge from the forest floor and wrap themselves around the orcs' ankles.*

I learned this one from the elves!

*one of the wolves leaps, teath bared, for the throat of the nearest orc*

*The orcs look down at there feet and slashed the roots with there axes.*


ARGH!!!


*The orcs leap once more with there massive legs.*


*The thundering noise is no longer a unidentify source...its a galloping noise with a man wearing a unique armor charging picks up a knife from his boot and whips it at the nearest orcs. The men on horses pass him up.*


*The soldiers on horses already have there swords sheathed one catches a orc in mid air jumping from the roots. Another lobs off an orcs head.*


*The men leap off there horses and tackle the rest of the orcs.*

*watches the wolves as she replaces her staff, pulls out her bow, and readies another arrow.*

Sounds like the cavalry is coming...hope they're our cavalry.

Glad to see you guys!

*Jumps down from the tree, staff in hand, ready to help.*

*an arrow whistles from the trees, it's aim unerringly straight*

[Sergeant]Glad to be of service ma'am.


*A ruffle in the brush and a orc takes off running at full speed. The soldiers don't see him in time, and in this darkness...*


*The orc escapes.*

Is everyone all right?

*The two wolves pad towards her, one of them seem hurt but the wound can be seen to be closing and healing quickly*

*The sergeant looks over his men, a few have some bruises on there faces. One has a little blood coming from his nose.*


[Sergeant]Ma'am my men look A'ok....Do you wish us to escort you to where you need to go? We also brought along your horse...

*Lumien turns to look at the wolves.*

Thank you, Konrad, and... erm... I feel like I've met you somewhere...

Well, if you're a friend of Konrad's, you're a friend of mine! Let's see that injury!

*Goes to examine the wolf.*

*backs away slightly but lets her look at him. As she looks at he wound it stops bleeding and closes*

*Lumien looks over the guards.* Are you sure?

*Looks at the wolves.* Thanks for your offer, but I think my escort has finally caught up. You had better get back to Imardin. I heard something moving in the bushes, and I fear that we didn't get all of them. If you'll take care of Imardin, I'll ride ahead and warn Kalsho.

Thanks for taking care of Corela. *Takes the reins.*

[Sergeant]Yes Ma'am, goo luck.


*Turns to soldiers.*


[Sergeant]Right men, let's go home!


*The soldiers get onto their horses and begin there journey home.*

*The two wolves follow Lumien and help defend her if she gets attacked again*

Thank you! *Lumien waves as she watches the soldiers go. She considers the events of the battle as she mounts Corela.*

Let's see... illegal weapon *reaches to sheathed knife*, not quite legal spell, had to call in the soldiers, one got away, and *smiles at the wolves* all in the presence of an Elder. Don't look at me like that. It wasn't too hard to figure out!

*She turns Corela toward Kalsho, and urges her forward at a walk.*

You never told me you were a lycanthrope!

*the two wolves walk along flanking Lumien*

*They reach Kalsho without any more incidents.*

*four soldiers on horses race out*
