[u]The Governor Militant[/u]

"Ab'Farahn understands..." Ab'Farahn replied "Soon Elsweyr will be united again, and the bloodshed will end." He turned away from the Governor "Ab'Farahn will set off to Senchal. He will see you later." Ab'Farahn and his men marched to Senchal.

[u]A few hours later, At Senchal[/u]

Ab'Farahn stood infront of his men, examining Senchal. He then let out a quiet growl and turned to his men and said "Men! Senchal is heavily fortified. But we can not wait for the Governor Militant. We'll have to take the fight to them! Ab'Farahn is quarreling with himself over two choices: One, we bombard the city but risk the lives of innocents, or two, We attack the guards on the walls with our arrows and send the battering ram and ladders to the walls and the gate..." He paused and then announced "Men! We take option two." He turned towards Senchal. "Archers!.." He yelled and paused "Ready!.." He paused again "Loose them, let it rain!" Arrows flew at the guards on the gates, killing some, wounding others, and others were missed. "Keep firing!.. Move the ladders to the walls! Move the battering ram to the gate! Warriors guard the ladders and the battering ram! Take the fight to them!" The ladders approached the walls and the battering ram approached the gate, as the warriors defended them and the archers killed more of the men on the walls. Warriors were climbing the ladders as the battering ram attacked the gate. The warriors had climbed the walls and were attacking the men on the walls. Some of Ab'Farahn's men had died approaching Senchal and some were being slain on the walls, however, his men were giving the enemy the same treatment. Later, the gate had been broken and the warriors flooded in through the gates and over the walls. It was then that Ab'Farahn entered the City. Men were fighting, blood was spraying every where and screams of pain and battle-cries were heard by all. Citizens that did not pose a threat were cowering in their home and buildings, waiting for the end. Ab'Farahn and three other warriors charged through the armies slaying enemies along the way. One of the warriors was attacked by a spear-man which plunged the spear right through him. Another one of the warriors was killed by a blade to the throat. But after running through the horror of the battle, Ab'Farahn and the other warrior made it to the main palace. More men then joined Ab'Farahn and they came bursting through the palace door, where they confronted Senchal's mayor, after slashing through the men in the palace. Ab'Farahn confronted the mayor and turned to his men and said "What do you think men? Should we kill him? Should we throw him away for eternity? Dead or alive?"
The men roared "Dead! Kill him!"
Ab'Farahn replied with "I'm afraid he won't die just yet... I've got some questions for him. Maybe I'll let him live..." He walked out of the Palace as his men chained up the mayor. He paused in the doorway and said "... Or maybe I won't..." He then left the palace and announced that the battle was over. The southern soldiers either surrendered and were locked away in the dungeons, or were slain if they kept fighting.
