It was a peaceful day on Kalor's coast, until the faint sound of drums could be heard echoing over the waves...

Lord of the Queen, Sir Lord Gert Dathor, the aged Lord of Seahall stood on the ramparts of the coastal defense wall. The faint sound of drums could be heard over the horizon, and twelve ships were hours over due. The Knightly garrison, numbering fout thousand were muster on the walls armed and ready. The city's cleric and mages were also on the ramparts perpared to offer the ranged attacks the Knights shunned. Sir Lord Dathor, was himself an accmomplish swordsman in his youth and a Level-Five White Mage now. The local Outriders had been dispatch with warnings to Capital City.

A red line began to separate the dark blue ocean and the cloudless blue sky. 30,000 orc ships rose up over the horizon. Each was manned by 100 orcs and numerous other slave races. Every ship had already manned it's oars and was approaching quickly. Within minutes the ships were within firing range of the shore. Warlord Goh Korgth stood at the bow of the lead ship, his cape fluttering in the ocean wind. He looked out over all the humans along their wall and smiled. "This will be a day not soon forgotten." He raised his massive battle axe into the air and let forth a beastly roar. Goh walked over to the large drum and ripped the mallet from the drummer's hand and hit the drum hard once and all the other drums stopped immediately. The single battle horn was blown and all the orcs furry was released upon the human wall in the form of flamming rocks and arrows.

"Who in the Abyss ARE they..." a nearby Oak KNight whispered. "The Masters have come to reclaim their slaves...those are Orkan" The aged Knight said using old Kalorian word for Orcs. "Not the childhood monsters of your youth but really creatures of Nightmare." Then the drums stopped. "In the name of Palador the Holy....." Then the rocks came. The Cleric and the Mages fought the fire and steel with fire and magic. Flaming arcane rocks smashed into ships and lightning cut rocks in half. It was not enough, the rocks broke the walls in many places, however the arrows just glanced off the Knights plate armor.

Far above the battle the Shade Bro Choa watched the scene unfold below him with a growing hunger for death. Wanting to see it closer up Bro Chua ordered his corrupted black dragon Elgar down toward the battle below.

The horn blew again and the catapults and archers fired a second volley. By this time the ships were getting very close to the wall. Orc warriors were gathering on the decks of their ships preparing to raid the city. They all carried a weapon and an unlit torch and were covered in thick orcan armor. The blood red paint glimmered in the light. The first ship reached one of the breaches in the wall and began to unload slave troops into the city. Other ships pulled along side the first and lowered planks from one to the other to create a chain to the shore.

Bro Choa easily dodged the rocks that flew his way. Eagerly waiting for the rivers of blood that would soon flow.

Lord Dathor heard a voice call out to him. He saw a hooded figure. "Over here! He shouted over the din of battle. The clerics and mages contiuned their devestating attacks, now concentrating on killing the orkan massed on the decks. The Knights stood stocily awaiting the doom that awaited them. Behided the Seawall, the city-folk were fleeing with Outrider escorts. Hopefuly the Otriders would reach the Capital and the Queen could raise and army.

More ships pulled up to the breaches in the wall and soon orcs were pouring from every gap in the wall. It wasn't long before the raised dead were begining to separate the orcs. Luckly, the first of the ogars was being poked and proded off the ship. It began to smash the bone warriors into powder with it's massive club. Some of the few orc clerics that actually existed fought the demons with their holy magic. Meanwhile the frontlines were pressing through the city and were begining to mount the wall. Korgth steped ashore at long last and began to calmly walk through teh enemy lines hacking and slashing with his battle axe and sword.

The hooded figure had left the battle for a short time to check on his necros. One of the necros ,"my lord,there falling back.Soon they will be upon us!" "It's almost sundown my friend,then we will have the advantage.the night is where we rule.hold out until then. the the humans can escape." "But what about us" questioned the necro? "We will disappear into the shadows, just keep those bones moving and summon the flesh golem" The necro turned around with an evil smirk on his face and started chanting.

The old Knight of the Queen gasped. He siganled the lead Cleric and the Cleric's turned there potent Holy spells against the undead.
The Knights were fighting a losing battle, but fought they did. Single Knights were taking on five and six foes and being vicorious. But for everyone kill eight more took the dead's place. The Old knight prayed to Palador then dove into the ranks of Orkan.

"Those are abomonations of Evil! Get them and yourself out of my City now! We will not retreat. We need to hold them off so teh city-folk can put as much distance between them and the Orkan." Dathor cut down a Orkan. "Maybe make it to Gorge!" The old Knight was using every spell and sword style he knew. The Knights had psuhed the Orkan back in a few places but where falling back in other spots, yet no Orkan has made it passed the Seawall. "Undisciplined ramble!" Dathor shouted.

"Damn you and all your people!",and with that he was to find his necros. "Why are we pulling back lord?"Ask one of them "Because they don't want us here." Replied the hooded figure with that the 6 figures disappeared into the night, but one of the necros stayed behind a little long, lets leave them a parting gift." the necro had set loose the flesh golem on the town and it's defenders,who had no idea what was coming for them.

"Blood! Blood! Rivers of blood shall burn in this town!" With an evil cackle the shade ordered Elgar down and with the order the dragon sent a jet of fire down on both men and orcs alike. Then Bro Choa ordered the dragon up leaving the path of fire to burn. Then the shade pointed at a section of the sea wall and screamed "Litharo!" as he said this a bolt of lighting blazed out from his hands consuming the section of wall then he took his place high above the carnage and gleamed with delight as fires danced and cry's of agony reached him.

Dathor needed to be in a dozen places at once. The appearance of a flesh golem behind their lines, a Black Dragon, the mortal enemies of the Kalorian Metallics had appeared and it's rider killing both men and Orkan. Signaling some cleric to contain the golem, Dathor sent a mental cry to his old Dragon, the Gold Solaza. The old dragon rose from his lair in Seahall silencing the battle for a moment. Solaza had been the largest Gold in known history, even old as he was he was still formidable. Before landeding in front of Dathor, Solaza blasted an Orkan ship to pieces and swept a number off the wall with his tail. Lord Dathor was going dragon dueling again. He had fought asked the Evil Dragons under Queen Kalana's father, an aid haned him an Holylance. Dathor saluted his men and rose to met the newest and most deadly threat. "I, Sir Lord of the Queen Gert Dathor, Ruler and Protector of Seahall, wielding of a Holylance, and a Chosen of Crustai, do Challange you, O rider of the Dark Dragon!"

Bro Choa floated silently for a moment scanning his opponent a gold dragon of old age, but still a mighty problem but as for the human Bro Choa was easily five times as strong as him and would not where down nearly as fast. "I the shade Bro Choa and my black dragon Elgar deem this challenge acceptable and worthwhile." as he said this Bro Choa drew his blade with its red edged and black center it was a forbidding weapon.

As regal and diginfied as he was Dathor could not help but laugh. "You should me either you are over-confident or an idiot Bro Choa." He attached the Lance into it's holder. The holder was an intricate device that allowed a Knight to fully move a Lance but not have to hold it's fully weight. "You would challange a Lance with a sword? I salute you." With that Dathor drew his broadsword saluted and and dropped the Lance. Solaza cry out in a raspy yet powerful voice "What are you doing you bumbling fool! You dropped the Lance!" Dathor said nothing, but allowed the Holy magic energies he commanded take root, the sword glowed with the brillance of the moon, and he waited.
The Orkan ran into a problem, the Seawall was more than a defense against sea invasion, but also against the ocean. Breaching the wall they found themselves trapped in the Pit, the beach like area between the two walls. A small walkway conected the two walls in a few places, and the Mages and Clerics were taking full advantage of this. Orkan bodies began to pile up. Yet Dathor's Lieutenants commanded the Knights to fall back to wall two.

smirking " You should have kept the lance." then Elgar did a back flip and corkscrewed down to the earth leveling out then rising again. Halfway through the back flip Bro Choa screamed "Blazarin shisway!" (fire slash) with these words Bro Choa slashed his sword through the air and from it flew waves of fire all of which where aimed at the gold dragon and its rider.

"Somtimes I hate honorable combat..." Dathor said as the waves headed towards him. "Tell me about it..." muttered his dragon who corkscrewed away from the blast as Dathor sent his own blast of ice to counter the fire.

With but a thought Elgar flew stragit down plumeting to the earth "Grondera parthia!" (ground part) screamed Bro Choa and with that a hole only wide enufe for him and his dragon opened in the ground, as he passed through the hole the ground in front of him parted while the ground behind him closed.
(MOLE MAGIC! LOL... jk)
