Foothills of the Misties - Near Caradhras

The landscape about you resolves into only shades of grey and black, as the night envelops the area in it's black claws. The path runs north/south as far as you can make out. Pitch black outlines of mountains to your west indicate the presence of the Misty Mountains, though they are almost indiscernable from this distance. The ground is frozen and underneath the snow around you, and the air feels freezing and icy. There chill is almost unbearable, the ice gently crunching under your feet.

No clouds can be spotted anywhere in the dark and cold winter sky. The twilight winter air is frosty and sharp.

=====================================================================

The fire of destruction has long cooled, leaving a blackened pile of ash to the east. An elven pair lurks to the north, moving quietly. A cold breeze blows as midnight takes hold. Dark skys, and bright glowing stars fill the winter sky. To the west lays the snow capped mountains. No sound is heard this eve, as it seems nature itself waits and watches anxiously over the lands that lay north of a beautiful forest.

While a pair does travel, they are seperated for the moment as the more experienced of the two scouts elsewhere. Ducking low around the Boundary Stone, Galharth watches silently in all directions while he waits for the other's return.

Urzgh has been set to scour the area for signs of the Galadhrim. Growling and muttering under his breath, he enters an area where a large stone stands. However, it is much to his surprise that besides the stone, another odject is present. An elf. Taking a step forward he says in a soft voice from behind the Galadhrim, "Well well, looks whose wandering so far from duh wood."

A sound from behind gives the Tailor pause for just a moment before he whirls around to face the creature that had uttered the foul sounding speech. As he turns, his left hand reaches for his sword and it is drawn when he finishes his turn. From beneath his cloak, Galharth's crystal blue eyes flicker with caution. Moving round the stone, he works to keep a barrier between himself and the beast. "Leave," he mutters in common tongue.

Urzgh grins. "The tree hugger wants me to leave? I can't leave emptyhanded," he says, producing a long scimitar from his side and glaring at the elf.

The Tailor frowns as the beast speaks, and for an instant he glances frantically for his companion. "Yet you are here alone," Galharth mutters as he darts back around the Stone towards the Uruk. Sweeping his longsword forward, he aims to strike at the beast's leg. As he strikes forth, he grunts slightly at the effort.

Galharth's attack against Urzgh badly wounds him!

Not taking the full brunt of the blow but receiving a nasty cut that begins to bleed, Uzgh leaps forward and swipes with his scimitar towards the elf's sword-wielding arm, shouting out curses as he does so.

Urzgh attacks Galharth with his Scimitar!...
...and Galharth parry's the attack with his Longsword!

Stepping back from the blow, black blood coats the edge of his weapon, and the Tailor shivers slightly at the sight. As the beast moves, he draws his weapon upwards and to the side, parrying the blow with a loud clang of metal against metal.

Pushing the scimitar away, Galharth draws his longsword into a back loop that follows through with a low swing, aiming to strike at the beasts other leg.

Galharth's attack against Urzgh badly wounds him!

Taking a just as nasty cut to his other leg, Urzgh grunts at the pain and looks at the blood flowing from his legs. "Tree hugger fights good, but not for long!" Urzgh shouts, bringing his scimitar in a quick loop down towards Galharth's side.

Urzgh attacks Galharth with his Scimitar!...
...and Galharth parry's the attack with his Longsword!

Again black coats Galharth's sword, and the Tailor visibly pales at the sight. "Begone beast," he mutters in weak warning. Again his longsword is drawn back in ready position dropping in time to parry the incoming attack. Metal rings out against metal once more, and the edhel grunts heavily as he pushes back upon the weapon while driving forth a stab towards the Uruk's left shoulder.

Galharth attacks Urzgh with his Longsword...
Galharth's attack against Urzgh severely wounds him!

Angry at his own failure to hit the elf and at his wounded bleeding legs and shoulder, Urzgh gets on knees. He looks at the elf in hate, and brining his scimitar up, he swings in dangerously at the elf's face, hoping to take his eyes out.

Urzgh attacks Galharth with his Scimitar!...
...and he misses!

Drawing back, Galharth catches the movement of the scimitar at the last instant and he leans back away in time to miss having his face mared by the beasts weapon. As he leans back, the Tailor's hood falls away, fully revealing his face and silvery hair. "Foolish beast!" Galharth growls with distaste for the scent of the beast and its blood, "You would have done well to leave,"

With the Scimitar now out of range, Galharth swings his weapon upwards. As he swings he grimaces with effort as he aims to sweep his weapon across the Uruk's front from hip to shoulder.

Urzgh dodges Galharth's attack.

Urzgh gets weakly to his feet and watches as the weapon misses him, laughing. Then, with the elf just in range, he takes a step forward and says, "You's tree huggers can't hide from the Eye forever!" With that said, he brings his scimitar down with all his remaining strength, he aims for the elf's neck and intends to cut the weapon across the neck should he connect.

Urzgh attacks Galharth with his Scimitar!...
...and Galharth parry's the attack with his Longsword!

The miss shocks the first born, and he takes a step back to recover his footing. At the Uruk's words, the Tailor's brow furrows slightly and his lips draw a tight line. Drawing his weapon back, he lifts it to parry the beasts attack, and again he grunts with effort.

With the scimitar pushed away, Galharth finds his weapon up from the action. "Enough," he snaps with disgust as he brings his blade downwards and to the side, aiming at the creatures foul throat.

Urzgh dodges Galharth's attack.

"Ha!" the uruk laughs as he moves his hand back. Moving slightly behind the stone, he kicks off with his foot and brings his scimitar in a long sweep towards the elf's head, laughing as he does so.

...and he misses!

A second miss does bring forth a reaction from the first born, as he remains in place, holding his ground. As the Uruk attacks, he jerks swiftly to the side, leaving only his silvery hair to sweep around the beasts blade. With his move to the side, he drives his sword forward to stab at the beast. Aiming for the creatures chest.

Urzgh parries Galharth's attack with his Scimitar!

"Ha, I's got upper hand now," the orc spits out, and with a flick of his wrist he sends the scimitar straight at the elf's face, right at his eyes.

...and he misses!

Drawing back his weapon, Galharth ducks quickly as the beast attacks. Black blood, and now spittle causes the Tailor to grimace in disgust. With the threat of the scimitar stab past, the first born leaps upwards to his full height, driving to stab the beast once more in the chest. "Die will you!" he mutters as he grunts with effort.

Galharth attacks Urzgh with his Longsword...
Galharth's attack against Urzgh moderately wounds him!

Urzgh winces as the blade stings him, but looking down he sees that the cut is not bad. Seeing his chance he brings the scimitar around in a wide arc above his head towards the elf's shoulder, right near the neck.


Urzgh attacks Galharth with his Scimitar!...
...and he hits! Ouch! Galharth is lightly wounded

Galharth's eyes grow wide as the beast's weapon sweeps across his armor, and then into the flesh of his neck, drawing a thin line of blood along his jaw. "Blast you!" the Tailor snaps as warm blood trickles down his neck.

Swinging his weapon round two-handed, moving counter clockwise, he brings the longsword down, aiming for the Uruk's head.


Galharth attacks Urzgh with his Longsword...
Galharth has defeated Urzgh!
Urzgh's weapon "Wasp" falls to the ground...
Galharth's attack against Urzgh fatally wounds and defeats him!

The sword shatters the uruk's skull, and he falls to the ground defeated. Blood pours in great rivers from his wounds, and he lays on the ground, his vision blurry. As his scimitar falls to the ground, he looks up at the elf and flashes a wicked grin. "Your people will fall..." A faint laugh is heard, and then Urzgh lies still. The orc dies smiling.

Breathing heavily, Galharth backs away from the dead creature. Catching the smile upon the beasts face causes him to shiver slightly and he takes yet another step away. Squatting, he wipes the black blood from his weapon and reluctantly sheaths his blade back at his waist.

Moving away, he seeks shelter in the brush while he continues to wait for his companion to return.
