As the great Beorning forces his way past the even greater warg, Arbogast follows closely behind, refusing to let his friend's back be exposed.  As he does so, he catches sight once more of the vast and shadowy form of the Werewolf, its eyes shining as Esgalwen's scream rings out.  There is no time to be sure of her condition, though, for the wolf bypassed by the two Men now presses forward.  The battle beneath the Mountains of Mirkwood has become pure instinct and terror, but the hearts of those still standing are stout, and the latter has not yet taken them.  The former, meanwhile, keeps the Warden's Axe singing through the air. 


:ooc: By the look of the map, it'd be hard to get through to the Werewolf, which I guess leaves Arbogast dealing with the 'lesser' threat.  Rolling to hurt it:

The sounds of battle rang in the cave. The cacophony of sound redoubled off of the walls and the water wrought rooms of the caves. In the darkness and under foot of the battle Morirúsë stirred. His hand closing upon the hilt of his ancient sword in a firm group. Strength returned to his limbs and his mind was alert to the danger to him and his friends, the battle needed to turn.
The elf rose like the tide, slowly and unstoppable.

"SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE FATHERS OF MEN DISPELL YOUR FEAR! Take heart in this hour of darkness."

The blade and elf rose and shown in the torchlight as the Noldo elf again entered the fray. In the murky darkness his voice rang out like the sea. In his heart and in his will the elf attempted to relight the lamp that lay broken, yet glittering in the adjacent cave. This was no lamp of the Silvan elves, this was a mighty working of his people of old. This treasure was not crafted for the simple love of wood and trees, but for the adoration of Varda, so to her the Noldo elf lifted up his voice as was done long ago at its kindling.

"Father of Waters, mark our need, hear our cry. Bring like the thunder of rivers and Sirion of old the might of your coming. Bring to us in your arms Varda, and the light of her eyes. Here, under the mountains while hope seems lost bring her to us that will rekindle the lamp. Take the spark of our hope and bring us the light!

Let not the wolf's bite wound and wreck, bring the Queen on thunder riding. O Elbereth Starkindler, from heaven gazing afar to thee I now cry beneath the shadow of the earth. O, look towards me Everwhite and bring the light of your coming! Here banish ancient darkness and ancient dread, to you we call, lady of our hope, light of our lives. " 

The elf swung upon the great wolf while he sang.

:ooc: RESULTS

• She fails her first Hope test  :csu:

• she hits the werewolf with a 23 :%: success for 17 :<3: loss

• Morirúsë hits the werewolf (assuming this is who you meant by great wolf) with a 27 :%: for 16 :<3: loss, and protection test TN 18

• Grimbeorn misses with a 12 :~~:  - I need him to make a Corruption (Wisdom) test TN 18

• Arbogast spends the 1 :vv: and hits the Greater Warg with a 21 :%: for 7 :<3: loss

:ooc: to clear a few things:

• Paul, I need an update of Arbogast's stance for this round - I assumed Defensive

• Tom, you were attacking the werewolf, right?

• Matt, you have the greater warg between you and the werewolf, so I am concluding your attack - though failed - went towards it

• I will need Grimbeorn's corruption and any Hope tests if contributing to the lighting of the Lamp

One thing I will point out. The PC's are all weakened and their spirits have been strained. You guys could flee and maybe come back to do this on a future attempt when you all have 'healed'.

Ayrn, your appearance will be outside the lair and I will give you the situation once I get the makeup of your hunting party.

Lastly, I will update the werewolf and greater warg damages in the next post.

:ooc: The werewolf will take its two remaining Lair actions for this round and spend 2 :@:, 1 on each attack from Esgalwen and Morirúsë to enact Toughness.

The :<3: loss is decreased by its attribute level which is 8 for each attack - and thus it only takes 17 total :<3: loss

It still must make the protection test
