Elenanna turned her head, and she unsheathed her sword, and moved to defend the people of the village. "Go to the stronghouse!" she shouted in Common. Elenanna whirled around, and stabbed an orc. Pulling her sword out, she moved and killed an orc that had tried to grab a young girl. "Follow your friends." she ordered. The young girl scampered off. Elenanna looked around for Midira, the elf they had come to retrieve.

The two High Elves, and their armed escorts, battled the orcs, knowing they had to keep the village safe. Elenanna jumped onto a high crate, sheathing her sword, before taking out her bow. Notching an arrow, she aimed at an orc, and released it, before getting two.

Voronwe blocked a sword, and pushed away the Orc, before attacking quickly.. The Orc's sword moved to block, but he was too late, and was killed. He suddenly heard a thump behind him, and turned slightly. He grimanced, seeing Elenanna's arrow in the orc's neck. Shaking his head, he went back to fighting.

Turwaithiel jumped into the city, shoting an arrow into and orcs side while steering Tathar with her legs. Tathar whinned loudly as an orc came from behind and Tathar, against Turwaithiel's orders, jumped up to her hind legs, causing Turwaithiel to slide back, and the orc sliced her left arm. Turwaithiel screamed in pain before she took out her curved sword and cut off it's head quickly. Tathar had all her hooves to the ground now, but Turwaithiel jumped off and contiued to fight, despite her arm.

Rhavaniel spurred her horse, and snatched up what looked like a raft from a load of smouldring ruins. Whith that, she rammed her way into the throng of things, then dismounted to draw her weapons.

Turwaithiel caught sight of Rhavaniel and couldn't help chuckling. "So she's here to?" She whispered before she ran into an group of orcs.

Th heat of the blood she was forcing her enemies to lose sent a frission of excitment down her back, awakening for a brief moment the part of her she thought she had buried long ago.
Her eyes flashed, emerald orbs in the midst of the brackish bodies that lay strewn around her. Startled she looked down, then threw herself into the next bout of orcs.
She could feel blood seeping down her neck- Was it hers? She felt nothing but the rush of adrealine in her lithe form, made for killing she was.
Silver blades flashed in the light, and again an orc fell, never to rise again.
For the briefest moments she caught a glimpse of a figure standing, she raised a blade bearing arm then brought it down with the force of a charging wild boar, it crackde the skull of the creature before it was whipped out and began another dance.

Letting go of her arrows, she watched as they landed on her target, and suddenly, she grabbed one of her blades, and blocked an Orc's sword. Pushing at him, she jumped off the crate, and quickly killed him. She looked up, and was relieved when she saw that the number of Orcs had decreased a bit.

Turwaithiel also noticed the low number and ran to an tree, climbing it quickly, her injury growing much worse. She took out her bow and started shooting orcs down from the cover of the tree.

"Milady, behind you!" one of the escorts called out to Elenanna. Elenanna suddenly drove her blade behind her, and was answered with the Orc's grunt of surprise. Pulling out her blade, Elenanna turned as the orc fell back to the ground. She sheathed her blade, and started to shoot arrows at the remaining Orcs.

( are the orcs almost gone yet?)

Turwaithiel shot many arrows before the orcs noticed her hiding spot. She placed her bow on her back again and tried to dodge an arrow, barely making it before she leaped off the branch and unsheathed two swords from that where strapped to her back and she cut an orcs head off before going towards the last few.

(Around 2 dozen, I'd say..)

Elenanna looked around, and she shot a few arrows again, killing the orcs quickly.
