[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 20: Giving the Dog a Bone

[Loran]

While the main group was bringing Karala away. Azhur cleared his voice:
- “Songs don’t care about the fate of us, the trollkins, declared Azhur. Nobody knows if the trollkins were valiant or coward, if they were killed or just fled miserably. They may even have overcome their foes, who would have recorded such event in the legend? The only fact that matters is that they stopped the assault and let Arkat being an Hero again, after this, they vanished from the story… and so it will be again today, friends!”

Azhur gripped his lance and adjusted his helm. 
- “Let’s stop these cursed beasts and then let’s vanish from the story. We can either escape, die, kill or just jump outside the quest. I’m sure that it doesn’t matter if the main group can escape and Makla Man can be saved by Arkat. But personally I strongly dislike being a sheep brought to the butcher… my hide has an higher price and these crazy murderers will learn it soon.” 

In saddle on his fierce war stallion, Azhur praised his fellows under their misshaped trollkin appearance. 
- “Who can say that Beast is a poor Trollkin? Who can said that Kalen the Explosion Master is a poor trollkin? I tell you friends: no one! And if a song has to be sung on this part of the story one day, it will be the song that we will sing in the next inn about the surprise we served to the wolves.”

Azhur swung his blade within silver flashes.
- “Othor, keep your knives ready! I want a proof for my father that crazy murderous rampage have been stop again by a son of Daymare House and unfold the Old Banner of the Red Valor of Ancestor! Today, who isn't with us is against us!"
- "My friends, my proposal is kill as much as we can, then if needed, we will flee and keep them hunting us until our friends are safe. I’m ready for battle!”

Azhur's actions:
=> Stop if possible destroy crazy murderers in this lonely moor from the saddle of his war stallion to save escaping prisonners of re-capture and horrible death. Bring a wolf pelt from heroic plane.


- "Heavy Lance 7M1" or "Sword and shield 4M1" (augmented with "True Silver Sword 19")

Augmentations :
- "Mounted combat 17" +2
- "One against Several Tactics 17" +2
- "Old Banner of the Red Valor of Ancestors 14 (?)" +1
- "Brave 18" +2
- "Combative 17" +2
- "Intrepid 17" +2
- "Bring Justice in Remote Areas 13" +1
- "Protect the Poor (escaping prisonners) 13" +1

Supports:
From BlackMane the War Stallion:
- "Strong Horse 12M1" +3 (perhaps we could try to have a x2 augment, if the theorical odds are with me, I don't remember the table)
- "Trample Foot Soldiers 3M1" +2
- "Loyal to its Master 18" +2

From Othor the Mounted Squire:
- "Support Master in Battle 3M1" +2

All added could make something like:
- Battle against the wolfmen 26 +13 +7 +2 = 49 = 9M2

If appropriate Azhur can also use an other one-shot spell from the Sparrowhawk's talisman
- "Find Courage to Attack Bigger than Self (bigger meaning the number of opponents) 17" +2

and Azhur has 4 HP in reserve, ready to serve.

As Karala sighed with discontent with her capture and
the intransigence of her captors, she settled down for
what appeared to be a lengthy prison term. But it was
not to be, as Aalmon appeared at the door with Jareena
The Healer, Icthya and Karala's reindeer spirit. Their
eyes were distant, their speech was otherworldly and
an aura glowed around their bodies. Aalmon grunted
"Makla Man, we have come to rescue you from these
bounds of the Bright Empire, flee quickly whilst there
is time". For but a moment Karala was confused, but
she had seen a HeroQuester before, no less than Harrek
The Beserk when he slew the Polar Bear God. She
shuddered at the memory; hopefully her allies would
not be so infected with such madness.

She grasped Thaneora by the arm, half-dragging her
into the dim-light of The Den's Great Hall. There
Aalmon espied weapons of Derringos Pistoles and
thought, as Arkat Trollking would, that they would
make a fine addition to his weapons of war. As any
good troll would do, he drank heartily as he carried
out his theft and a wolf-pup played by his feet.

Outside Anzhur Sinnersbane and other members of the
Fellowship acted with subservience towards Aalmon;
incredibly, they had taken the role of trollkin! The
Fellowship took off at a rapid pace and Karala had to
use all her magics to keep up with them, as they had
the energy of the Gods to guide them. A glimmer of the
old Aalmon was present as he used his Star Magics to
create a glittering bridge far away from The Den. Yet
as the Fellowship embarked on their starry path, the
howls of dispossed and infuriated Telmori could be
heard. The nights and days passed in the twinkling of
the eye, as the escape path wound through woodlands,
over hill, and besides mountains.

How many days had passed they did not know; the only
member of the group that could keep time as a mortal
was Karala, and she estimated scores of days, and yet
hunger did not fatigue her whilst on the starry path.
Eventually the path came to an end. In the distance a
magnificant city of coloured glass spires could be
seen. It was Syran, considered by many the most
beautiful city on the shore of Lake Felster.

But beauty was not the first concern for those members
of the Fellowship. The twilight baying of the Telmori
was stronger than they had ever heard before. Crashing
through the woods they saw angry men and wolves with
red eyes. At least three score had managed to follow,
or receive missives from the fellows to set chase on
the Fellowship; for not only had they taken one of the
great relics of the Telmori, but they had also
absconded with the the great heretic. Aalmon ordered
the "Trollkin", Kalen Ironhand, Anzhur Sinnersbane and
The Beast to take position. They would hold off whilst
the others escaped and lived. The only question that
remained: How would they die? What songs of Power
would be sung of their deeds?
