To the North We March

“Droves and droves of them; a number no Horde could match.”

 

He recounted. It was only a few days ago that this battle had been done, yet already the Imperials were routing those who fled from Arberrang. Somehow this veteran had escaped the march northward, recounting it to you and anyone with an ear.

 

“They came to the Southern walls just as we did before, except passage they were not given.”

 

At the gates is not where he stood, yet still he could see it clear as day.

The man then lights his blunt -- a new way to ease his pain it seemed -- and continues along with the report.

 

“So they forced their way in, and not so easily they were. Yet still the vanguard was able to infiltrate and that is when we made our mistake…”

 

He made no mention of the mistake that was done, yet I suppose you are a smart listener and can assume what it was. Still, with smoke puffing out from both his mouth and nose, he looks into the haze. His voice once again being heard.

 

“The gates were breached and the slaughter began. Their Horde flooding in as we struggled to hold our ground; hold our ground we did not.”

 

It would seem the end was near, for he looked back at you as if sure what to say. His eyes filled with the horror of that day. He’d fought twice -- of the first attempt at a siege and the second -- and it was displayed on his face how he thought of these memories.

 

“Defeat is what we took and ‘Ulrah is where we head. If you wish to halt this Horde then hurry.”

 

Not a good note to end on, but an accurate one at that. He looks around a bit paranoid now, realizing the attention he had grabbed. Quickly the man, clad in ‘mail, stands himself up and heads out the door; quick he was. For those who were to guard could take no action in time.

The former Rex, Shakul’Gorkil, had fought that day in the guise of a traveler, and fully intended to fight for the protection of his once close allies, the dwarves of Kaz’Ulrah.
