"Of course. But I think it would be more effective if we had four different areas spread across the city, with one of the magical healers in each."

"If those healers can handle the number of wounded, then that would be a good idea. But our wounded will likely be in great number. There is no telling what tricks the Dark Lord has left for us."

-----

Korth howled in pain and fell to the floor, the Legion weapon sliding away from him. He clutched his arm and began chanting healing words, but his words were rushed and desperate. He could feel the dark magic of Kalon's blade working its way through him. He had to stop the effects of the weapon, or he would be dead in minutes.
"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil.

"It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil.

"Of course. But, I ask again; can your healers handle the heavy toll of wounded that I am expecting?" asked Mordain, now staring straight at Jaunne.

"No, they cannot, and there is no way they would be able to unless only a minimal number of men are wounded. The healers will save some, but probably not all."

---

"If you dare kill her, there will be nothing to stop us slaughtering you," Elandir said in anger, taking a step forward.

"You think we care?" one of the dark elves said. "You high elf scum, none of us expected to make it out of here alive. Now get back or she dies."

Mordain nodded. "They will save some, but not all. I understand." He looked around the room as a whole. "Are there any other matters any of you would like to raise?"

-----

Brae led the Legion soldiers on through the tunnels. The man who had lost his weapon to Korth had taken a sword from an Order guard's corpse. Finally, they had found a way around the blockage. He could hear the heated threats being thrown between Elandir and the dark elves.

Carefully, Brae and his companions made for the sounds.

While the others struggled to take their eyes off Arhaina's body, Elandir continued to argue. "And when you're dead, who will serve your master?"

"You seem to take our deaths for granted, Weisslander," the dark elf replied. "But if you attack us then you will be the second to die, after your precious woman. Then your archmage will be quite stuck, won't he."

"Fools! Just hand her over and stop stalling," Elandir taunted. "If you kill her now then Weissland will burn Rathor to ground."

Brae could seem them now. He sprinted down the corridor towards Elandir, coming to a halt behind the man. He stared for a moment at Arhaina's beautfil body before moving his gaze to the dark elves. The Legion soldiers stopped just behind him.

Brae said nothing. He shot the odd glance to Elandir, but kept his weapons in his hands.

Bayel said "I believe there was still one point unanswered. About the Dragon Lords. Also, if the outer walls are overrun and the army needs to retreat to the inner walls, will a force remain in place to hold the enemy? And is it possible for all of the refugees to be moved into the inner walls when the time for battle arrives?"

"Oh good, more weakling Weisslanders come to stare. Enjoying this, girl?" another of the dark elves teased. "Do you like the attention?"

Arhaina said through gritted teeth, "You will not get away with this."

Again she felt a blackness inside of her, some sort of strength, some sort of rage waiting to erupt. She kept it to herself, though. Her thoughts, it seemed, were the only things not uncovered for all to see.

"Leave her alone! I will have you slowly tortured to death!" he threatened, "and then your bodies will be put on stakes, and left to hang over the Crevasse until the wood rots away!"

"Both the refugees and the army will not fit within the inner wall," said James. "If it comes to that, I believe we will have to arm the refugees with whatever we can find."

Bayel said "Then any children and those incapable of fighting should be given space within the inner walls over refugees who can fight. But the refugees will have to be properly guarded, if the army does need to retreat from the outer wall, the refugees could panic and make it difficult to get anyone safely inside."

"All those able to fight will be called to do so. It is not optional, for us or them. If we want to survive, then everyone cabale must do their part." said Mordain.

-----

Brae looked around the chamber. Was there any advantage for them? Not that he could see...

-----

Korth finished chanting his spell. For the mean time, the deadly magic of Kalon's sword had been stopped. For the mean time...

"There are not enough weapons and armor to arm all the civilians now," said James. "We will have to wait and gather them from the dead. I say we have some of the civilians of sterner constitution near the front to drag back the dead and strip them of their equipment."

((We had a short talk about the refugees in the sixth and seventh pages of the Fargon-thread, where I understood it that we would send many of refugees further away. There was mentioned a valley behind Asulien, but only out-of-character so I'm not sure if it really exists. But I figured that was where the children and women would. How many refugees are there?))

((Sorry I've not posted in a few days, but I have moved to Dundee and my internets are not set up here yet.))

Mordus stared idly at the flagged floor as the talk of deployment and defence moved around the room, from speaker to speaker. His eyes were glazed over and his thoughts wandered to the inevitable assault of the outer wall.

He could see the brilliant stone hue of the city washed red and black by blood in his minds eye. "Just like Kuren." His mind spoke to him. They'd all be dead. His brow flexed as he felt the last of his defiant reserve spur him toward an other end.

This time he'd be there. He'd most certainly die, but maybe, just maybe some other soul would live if he fought hard enough. And perhaps he would not be remembered unkindly. Wishful thinking indeed he told himself.
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity lasts for eternity.

"Enough of this," Ithrain said finally. "You're going to die, hostage or not."

A burst of lightning flashed across the room just as Renaulin and Elandir said "No!", tearing through the books, frying two of the dark elves and making the whole chamber shudder. The dark elves stumbled with it, losing their balance. A crossbow bolt flew at Ithrain, and then a second cut across Arhaina's side, failing to make a direct hit as she moved.

The others raised their weapons to attack, but a new voice from behind caught their attention. A blade moved across Ithrain's throat, and an armoured fist covered his mouth. "That was a mistake if ever you made one, Ithrain Kuralin," Kalon said. "Mage, take the girl and follow me. The rest of you, stay here and kill the others."

The single dark elf mage who had survived to this point grabbed Arhaina and used his magic to make the leap to the entrance where Kalon backed away with Ithrain. Then he placed a giant pillar of fire in front of the door. It would wear out after a time, but nothing would pass through it alive until then. That was assuming the books did not catch fire, the flames did not spread and the smoke did not suffocate all those within before the spell wore out.

Two prisoners, for almost all of the minions he had brought, plus the time it would take to get more from outside the walls. The trade was not in his favour it seemed, though perhaps it was worth it to capture Arhaina.

"The Dragon Lords will do what they do best; they will wreak havoc across the enemy army. They will be deployed as shock troops to drive back the enemy for as long as they can, as well as trying to eliminate enemy necromancers. And yes, when the wall falls, we will have to deploy another force to give time for retreat."

Brae looked at Elandir, then at the fire, then back to Elandir. "What do we do?"

Loter lifted his curved spear from the wall it rested again and walked through the door leading to the room. The meeting was coming to an end, and he had heard what he need to hear and said what he was supposed to say.
