“Come, Dara! If my family is there, I can’t wait.”

“You won’t be any use to them if you’re dead!” Dara hisses.

“I’ll kill any orc that blocks my way,” you snarl back, drawing your axe. “With me?”

The elf gives a sullen nod, nocks an arrow, then follows towards the vast cave.

Soon, orcs with spears are closing in on all sides. Dara’s bow sings.

Ahead, a pale orc sorcerer stares you down. Dara stops shooting… both of you are magically bound!!

Many spears thrust into you. As you fall, the plaintive cries of captives ring in your ears…

The End.
