Act 2 Scene 5
I have come to find that the Dark Elves are not the most trustworthy of races. Upon my return to Khemri, we were attacked by my "ally" Nefario. As his troops arrayed themselves for battle, I walked into the armory. I pulled out a legendary magical banner for my Icon Bearer to carry to the fight. I myself pulled out my old Blade of Setep and the Shield of Ptra. I moved my troops into defencive positions in front of the great city walls. Then the enemy advanced towards the city. I gave the word to my Icon Bearer, and he activated his magic banner. A sandstorm sprung into being and engulfed the elves. As this happened, I ordered my troops to begin their advance. As soon as the sandstorm cleared, the Liche Priests opened the blessed casket of souls. Light errupted forth and burnt many of the elves, carrying their souls back into the casket. Then I realized the presense of flying creatures. They were elf harpies. They dove into my archers before they could react. Though, they only managed to kill two skeletons before they fled battle. Finally I saw the elf elites. I began moving my personal guard towards them, but my three Ushabti warriors crashed into their flank. After a few short moments, the elves ordered retreat and fled the battle. This made me realize that my troops could still stand against the races of these days. I suppose annihilating all evidence of my people is not required.
