‘What a disaster this has been,’ thought the company as they rallied themselves after the death of TheCreeperHugz. So many dwarves had fallen in the past few days that the future was looking very bleak indeed for the quest. Their camp for the night had been set up just at the opening of Mirkwood. The party were making one last stop before venturing into its trees.
All the members were on edge for the first few hours. Nobody knew who might be evil and nobody wanted to be their next victim.
LaurinaMN took it upon herself to snoop around the camp for answers. As she snuck into the front of Mirkwood, she started to hear voices whispering hastily.
‘… take them out now,’ said one of the voices. ‘while they are sleeping.’
‘Everyone? We couldn’t yet… We are too few in number,’ said the other.
She leaned in for a closer look. Twigs crunched as she moved in closer. Heart racing, she could smell she was onto something.
‘Wait another few nights. That is when we will be safest. Tonight, we will go for the
Wizard.’
LaurinaMN’s breath caught in her throat. They couldn’t know what she really was - she’d been so careful. She paused for a moment and thought. Maybe it was another that was in danger. Four red eyes suddenly flickered into view. She froze solid as they started bobbing up and down towards her.
‘Hello there, LaurinaMN,’ said one of them wickedly. The other passed out of her sight and snuck behind the dense foliage. She stared at him, focusing her mind as she prepared herself for attack.
LaurinaMN didn’t see the second aggressor when they leapt out from behind the trees. In fact, it was their sword running her through that was the last thing she ever saw.
Blue blood sprayed across the face of the one whom spoke to her before she crumpled to the floor, dead.
LaurinaMN the
Wizard passed into the shadow.
