Ambush of the Orc Army
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 2:27 am
Syclya, the new Archdruid, waits in the trees remaining motionless as she watches the orc scouting party from a distance. It's obvious they are jittery, they suspect something is wrong even though their senses tell them nothing. Beside her crouches Celduil, her close friend and High Ranger of the Elder Circle. The two of them have become impatient with the lack of action about the army intruding into their forests, and this destruction of nature will no longer go unchallanged!!
The Archdruid reaches out to the forest, feeling the flow of the land and the conciousness of the trees. The birds and animals are her eyes and ears, and soon to be her claws and fangs. They told her exactly where this orc scouting party was, and now it was time for a message to be sent.
Moving silently, Celduil disappears into the forest without a trace, getting ready for the ambush. Syclya meanwhile literally becomes one with the forest, morphing her body into a powerful treant as the scouting party approaches them.
As they come upon her, some of the Orcs too late realize there is something wrong with the tree in front of them. Before they can make a move Syclya casts a powerful spell, filling the lungs of the party with water. They fall to the ground, nearly drowned as they gasp for air. Within a moment, Celduil had finished them off with a flurry of arrows.
Satisfied that they are dead, the High Ranger leads them off to the next orc scouting party. This night, the forest fights back.
