Battle - Round 2

[tomcat]

OOC: I uploaded the new round of combat on the Home page. I just need the character rolls for this round.

The five riders will be 4 hours away as of this round which equates into 8 Battle rounds (or the riders will arrive at Eldanar during Round 10)

Nain swings his shining axe at the oncoming orcs hewing them left and right standing next to Lunduf in the path of the horde the two dwarves cut a swath of destruction to make the Easterling take notice of the Dwarves that he had taken so lightly in the parley.

Fengel brings his horse up close to Dirnhael, "Perhaps the little welp has some sense to what he said.  We shall see, if at some point on our journey I see that my horse is getting tired Edrahil's horse is a good choice to bear him the rest of the way."

Fengel brings his horse up close to Dirnhael, "Perhaps the little welp has some sense to what he said.  We shall see, if at some point on our journey I see that my horse is getting tired Edrahil's horse is a good choice to bear him the rest of the way."

Dirnhael nodded. "As you see fit, my friend."
He looked southward, knowing deep within his heart that they were too late - his plan had failed.

"Our time draws short," he said to Fengel, his voice barely more than a whisper.
"Our friends and allies are in grave danger... and if they fall, then so too will our chances of ever returning to our lands again."

He thought of his stalwart companions; Lunduf and Nain, of Eradin and his brave Dunedain soldiers... and of fair Ioreth.
He had kept her from his thoughts during these weeks, but had not entirely succeeded in doing so.

A roiling wave of dark clouds had seemed to follow them all from the North, and the veiling shadow they cast upon the accursed land darkened Dirnhael's mind and it's thoughts.

He turned back towards his friends.
"We must quicken our pace! We stop only when we must -  ride as if the very Hosts of Angmar were at our heels!"

And for all Dirnhael knew, they may have been...

This was enough to break Durgil from his withdrawn state.  With a yell to spur his steed forward, he bursts forward to the head of the charge, "For the Light against the Darkness! To Eldanar!"

Inspire - (6+1)+4+6 Courage=16 (either recover 2 Weariness Levels from the hard ride to get there [first choice] or +3 bonus to the Ride test [second choice])
Ride (Horse) - (6+1)+4+2=13

[Palandil]

"Do not let the gloom of this land dishearten you.  You have much strength as well as stubborn friends.", remembering his friend Lunduf, "The dwarves will hold Eldanar until we can bring them aid."

Fengel knowing that he would give his life for Dirnhael, wondered if this might soon be required.
