Nazgul and Olog-hai

Akhorahil looks around quickly and hisses loudly, his voice echoing around..'Any worm here is worthy of taking care about my horse!?!?'

Taelon 's drops to his knees, albeit without any grace, more as if his legs have failed him than as if it is an intended motion. Head bowed, he stares respectfully at the ground, daring not to set eyes upon the wraith.

Dred says in a soft voice and points back to the human, as he bows his head " This one can server your needs, master.."

Akhorahil turns as huge troll speaks and looks at human nearby, hissing..'Move here Man..move here and take care about my horssse, or I will take care about you and you will never again be what you are now!!

Taelon

STATUS: IC (1m idle)

Before you is a man, maybe in his fifties, of average height, thin. He seems however to mantain a certain strength of body and will. His shoulder length grey hair is strong and neatly cut, even if now thinning at the top of his skull. Grey also are his eyes, which gleam with fiery cunning and inner strength, though they are surrounded by deeply carved lines of trouble. His features are sharp, a long pointy nose, thin cold lips and a strong set chin. A short carefully trimmed grey beard frames his face.

He dresses in rich black clothes: a tunic that hangs down to his thighs, held at the waist by a black leather belt with a silver buckle portraying a flaming red eye. His legs are covered with pants, black as well, tucked into polished calf-high leather boots. Soft leather gloves hide his hands. A dagger is sheathed by his right side.

Species: Human
Sex: Male
Health: Good
Weapons: Nothing
Armor: No armor

Taelon immediately jumps to his feet, even if his trembling legs seem barely capable of holding him in a standing position, and he hurries towards the horse, though clearly uncomfortable with being so close to the dark one.

Akhorahil hides his mace entanched by a powerfull spells under his robe and waits until Taelon comes to take care about nazgul's horse.

Akhorahil hisses in his cold voice toward human..'I will be leaving sshortly, ssso be ssusre that my horssse will be prepared, Man..'

Akhorahil drops the bridle and walks slowly toward the entrance of Sarn Goriwing tower

Taelon nods to Akhorahil, grabbing the reins of the horse. He answers something in a very faint voice, too faint to be heard as it escapes his thin shaking lips, but it's general meaning is clear, total obedience will be given to the wraith's orders.

As nazgul is walking by a huge troll, he stops for a second a hisses...'Any reportssss, Warrior?'

Dred waits unmoveing as it seems the Dark Rider is in a rush and thinks that it must be hear to talk to the High shaman in the temple, he turns his body so the Rider can pass up the stairs that he is blocking with his bulk..but stays on one knee

Akhorahil is standing in front of troll and awaiting for troll's answer..

Dred says quickly, with out looking to the Nazgul " Yes master, we did a raid on some pass Gazats..An have calmed these barrls for the Eye use" he points back to the barrels and adds " ..We have then under watch as they move east to the town of lakemen.."he then gulps and hopes that the Nazgul is in a good mood...

Akhorahil hisses after some time of silence..'I do not have a all night jussst to wait for your anssswer, Troll!! Anssswer now or ssstay silent forever!

Akhorahil started to speak just in a second when troll replied..

Akhorahil remains silent and listens carefully to the report of Dred

Dred waits to know his if his life is over at this moment or if he might live to see the next sunset...

Akhorahil looks at the barrels standing behind troll and hisses quickly, continuing to wal toward stairs leading up...'Follow me, Warrior..you will talk to me elsssehwere..

Akhorahil reaches stairs leading up and after a short moment he disappears in the darkness, broken just by a light of many torches...

Dred nods and stands to fallow there the Nazgul may take him..and heads up the stairs.

Dred climbs up the flight of stone steps.

Dred has left.

Akhorahil enters the Dark temple of Sarn Goriwing and continues to walk toward the huge altar

Dark Temple

This floor is the highest in the spire of Sarn Goriwing, and thus the smallest. It is a single open chamber, its roof curving twenty feet overhead, its floor and walls of the glassy black rock of the tower. There are no windows, only several small alcoves set into the wall. Two torches flicker and cast a dim reddish light. Strangely, your attention is often drawn to the featureless black glassy walls... but closer, they seem not so featureless... faces can be seen within, as if locked within black glass, frozen forever in despair, though their eyes are hideously alive.

In the center of the chamber, gleaming crimson and gold are inlaid into the obsidion to form the shape of a great flaming Eye, glaring ceaselessly. Within the slitted feline pupil of the Eye, an altar of obsidion rises from the floor, nearly ten feet long and five feet wide, appearing totally clean and unmarred by violence or bloodshed... though your instincts scream otherwise.

Obvious exits:

Down

Akhorahil stops there and turns, looking at troll who has been following him from outside

Dred waits till the nazgul stops moveing then drops to one knee again and bows his head once more so he can hear what word of the Eye it has to tell him..

Nazgul hisses and his dark figure is nearly unnoticable in the darkness of this chamber...'Clossser, Warrior..come clossser

Dred shutters then moves a few steps towards the nazgul (about 5 feet away now) and drops to one knee again..but as he bows his head he finds himself looking down on the nazgul..this make him very uneasy..

Akhorahil waits a short moment and then hisses again..'I want to hear your report again, troll...'

Akhorahil leans against the altar and is waiting

Nazgul's jeweled eyes shines in the darkness and the symbol of The EYE drawen on the ground shines bit more..

Dred nods and says with a bit of fear in his voice " Yes master, We raided a Gazat camp that was on the road that gose thought the greatwood and killed a number of then, the barrels where taken as prizes and we now have scouts watching those the got away..we think they move to the town of lakemen" he then gulps and trys to looks away from the nazgul..but know that this might get him killed..so he dose his best to watch the nazgul's feet...

Akhorahil slowly nods and then starts to hissss..'Dwarves...and marching to the city of LakeTown...they mussst have ssome important reassson for thisss..

Akhorahil talks more just for himself, but his words can be easily heard

Dred nods at the nazguls words but says nothing...

Akhorahil continues to hiss silently, as he has been thinking about situation...'And they have a load of equipment...

Akhorahil walks around the altar and suddenly looks at you again, hissing loudly..'Tellme Warrior....Did you or any of your sssoldiersss noticed sssomething unussual on thossse dwarvesss?

Dred

Obvious exits:

Down

Akhorahil walks toward one of the torches which are on the stone walls and stops next to it, his figure being alight by a reddish light of the torch

Dred thinks quickly to all the report that the uruks have told him, then says softly "No master..they seemed to be just Gazats.." he then gulps and hopes he did not miss something...

Akhorahil hisses again and his voice is impatient now..'Troll...I can imagine how much difficult it is for you to think, but I want to hear your anssswer before the daytime will sstart..

Akhorahil listens to your late answer with evident frustration and hisses for himself..'Masster, why there iss none in thisss place who might be able to ansswer my quessstionsss sssucessfully!?

Akhorahil shakes his head few times and then speaks to you again in his hissing voice..'You sssaid you took sssome barrelsss from them...what iss inssside of them?

Dred shutter at the Nazguls words and know that his life is very close to being lost ...but at the asking of what is in the barrels he says "Master, it seems they are full of gazat ale, I beleive that it was a trader camp that we raided" he then gulps again and hopes for the best...

Akhorahil looks at you with interest..'Ale you sssay??

Dred nods quickly and says with a bit of fear in his voice "Yes master"

Akhorahil hisses and looks at you curiously..'You opened the barrelsss?

Dred shakes his head quickly and a voice of panic says "No master, one of the barrels was leaking.." his body then starts to shake a bit, and he forces himself not to run away from the nazgul..

Akhorahil walks slowly toward you and hisses..'LEaking...And I asssume that the barrel is now empty, because it wasss leaking ssso much, am I right, Warrior??'

Dred gulps and says "I do not know master, it might be.." he then look away from the nazgul and adds "I was going to check on that when you entered the fort,master" he then bows his head low..

Akhorahil doesnt wait for your answer and hisses..'I will be no wassting my time with investigation of sssuch a unimportant matters....Now hear my ordersss and remember that you are persssonally ressponsssible that thossse orderss will be fulfilled ssucesssfully!

Dred nods quickly and whispers "Yes master, your order will be done.." he then waits to see what is to come..hopeing se dose not pass out from fear first..

Akhorahil contiues to hiss..'Sssurprisssingly you did very well when you gave rodersss to continue to ssspy on those dwarvesss...Now you will return there and will gather all our troopsss in area..I want you to ambusssh them again and your primary goal issss to desstroy them!!

Akhorahil stops for a second and thinks...'No...no..no desstruction..

Akhorahil hisses, looking at you with suspicion...'You will ambusssh them, but not desstroy them...your ambusssh must sscare them and sshow them how dangerousss thisss place isss..

Dred nods at the orders and smiles then says in a somewhat stronger voice "It will be done master, the fear of the Eye will fill them."..he then bows low once more and waits to be sent away to carry out the orders..

Akhorahil hisses some more..'They have to reach the city of LakeTown successsfully...they will be usssed for our plans..

Akhorahil is slowly finishing the orders..'After the ambusssh, when they will be too far from our area, I want you to return will all troopsss here...and then, then..

Akhorahil looks at you..'Then you have my permission to open all thossse dwarven barrelssss and give it to your troopssss...We did very well during lassst acttionssss, sso that ale will be like a relaxation for uruksss!

Akhorahil stops to hiss and watches you, waiting if yo uwill have some questions or not..

Dred nods in understanding..not knowing what the Rider has in mind but he will do what he is told and says "Your will shall be done, and if I fail I know it's my life.." and in a odd way wishes that his life was over at this moment..but at the saying of opening of the kegs he smiles

Akhorahil nods slowly, hissing..'Now you go Warrior..go and show to thossse dwaves what FEAR meanssss!

Dred stands slowly and begins to back away from the nazgul, and and he reaches the stairs he turn and begins to move as quickly as he can down the stairs to the main gate...

Akhorahil watches you without any movement until you leave..

Dred takes the stairs to the lower levels.

Dred has left.
