[h2]Sir Tyaethe Radistirin[/h2]

The paladin shifted her grip, watching for the signal--she'd given hers to no response, so she and Indrau had gotten into position early. Nothing to do but steady her breath, wait for the light... and then move fast. It should be easy, their way in wasn't even guarded. But the magic was so heavy here, so thick that it was like breathing soup. Their foe was doing something [i]big[/i] and her guts were telling he to forget the plan and just rush in because this was going to be [i]exciting.[/i] To forget the orcs entirely.

There were only four of them, though. She couldn't just leave the captain with these sorts of numbers even against mere orcs. Wait for the signal--there, a flash of light. Count to three, signal to Indrau to follow, and then[i]rush in[/i]. As she'd already noted, there were no orcs on the western approach. Which meant getting straight into the ruins and getting straight to the hacking.

Anyone that might have thought frozen ground would slow her down or cause stumbling was obviously underestimating Tyaethe. This wasn't the first ice-using magic user she'd fought with. The first few orcs were probably quite surprised when someone [i]slid[/i] past them--right before their legs were separated from the rest of their bodies.

Then she made her way to the gate, waiting. If this wasn't important or if Fleuri didn't show...
