Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jade walked thru the brushwith, whacking at shruberies that got in her way. She had made quite a bit of distance from Minas Tirith. She had lost her steed several weeks ago when she was forced to trade it for rations of food. which in turn was mostly spoiled. This was Jade's third day in the woods and was starting to get ancey. It was when she was about to change direction and head back towards where she thought she came from she saw the man in bloody bandages and the the other figure huddled in a ball.

Elrothiel's head snapped up and she tiredly eyed the stranger. She was human and Elrothiel stood up, warily feeling for a weapon. "Greetings." She said formally.

Jade gave a slight bow of her head and cast a cautious glance towrds the man in bandages. The elf woman appeared to have either put him in the state he was in or was trying to help him, either way Jade didn't want to interfeir with somehting that might get her in trouble. But she couldnt leave someone with wounds like that, when she could help. 'Is he going to be alright?' Jade asked. She figured it was an innocent enough question, so the elf wouldnt get mad if it was indeed her who had made him like that, even though it didn't make sense to nearly kill him then bandage him.

Ranu's head swam, there was about 25 of them, maybe 30. They were probably an advance guard. Behind them would be the Trolls, and the Goblins, and Half Goblins. He drew his sword without thinking, its blue glow a welcome sight after seeing so little light in this forest. He glanced at his companian and drew in a breath, "This is only the advance guard of their army. It looks like the main army just advanced down owards Gondor, then got ordered back, by their expressions. But by the grumbling, I can hear that they're heading to Rohan." He said it in a explaining way, but it Didn't say why his sword was out, "That said, it means it heads towards my formour companians, people wo saved my life. Whom I'm respect. I have no way to warn them, I can, however, slow these guys down, since the main army will use the fights as an excuse to rest. Thats the thing about Orc's. They're arrogant." he glanced at the 25ish orc's. "It looks like more, but its the dust" he said softly, then nodded his head. "You keep going, if you wish, but I think I'm going to warm up. Standing, Ranu sank his blade tip into the ground, drew and strung his bow, and fitted an arrow. "I'll give you till 10 to decide."

She stared at him in amazment. "I'll stay a bit, but not too long. I'd like to go warn them in Rohan. I'm a speed flyer," She noched an arrow.

She nodded, shot her arrow, then sprouted jet black raven wings. Amara flew high to Rohan, out of arrow range. She went a far way, before noticing a camp fire.

Jade nodded. It turned out the elf did want him to live. Jade didn't like preforming healing on people, but she knew she wouldnt be able to just let a person die. Jade looked up at the elf, 'I can help him, but I need water.' she said.

Horns blazed among the orc as a third arrow raced into one [the second being owl's]. Another Orc dropped, the rest spun to face the hill, raising shields to defend themselves, another raced down at a leg, pushing the Uruk Hai back, while a second tore down into his helmet. The rest let out a roar, and two surged up. Dropping the bow and arrows, Ranu drew his sword from the ground, mud removing the shine. His eyes lay on the two Uruk Hai, who were running whiel their shields moved to keep themselves entirely covered. They were also blinded too, so as one reached the top, Ranu run at the creature of darkness, Knocking it back down the hill, then swung at the second one, yelling at it in fear and anger. The Uruk Hai's sword locked with Ranu's with a clang, while the shield fell to the ground.
