Oshida grabbed the talisman and hurried back. He pulled out a match, lit it and threw it into the corner where the lady was, illuminating the shadow. Then he pulled out a shuriken, ready to throw it at the lady if she made any sudden movements.

Oshida was already ahead of her though. He had set several traps already hidden next to the walls. He grabbed several shuriken with his other hand, poised to throw at any moment.

Standing there, the two factions locked gazes and eyed each other up. Their staring contest was interrupted by the corpse of a lizard creature riddled with arrows hitting the ground just behind Baeithra and Heinrich.
Vhere ze in ze hell did zat come from?" Heinrich questioned as he turned around and looked upon the corpse.
"My apologies friends." said Eldroth. "I thought you might require my aid. You two at the front there! You want to fight you take it outside or turn your anger towards the monsters!, we have a keep to defend here. QUickly up the stairs."
As the climbed the stares they were met by a man dressed in full plate mail and weilding a sword large enough to rival that of Sir Karl.
"For the glory of my new master, whose sorcery has shown me the way, I shall destroy you!"
"G-glaicus? Is that you? He must be charmed! He's one of Lord Hyrule's most loyal guards, he would never do this otherwise!!" said Eldroth.
"Die!! You can do nothing but die!!" screamed Glacius as he charged forward.
"Foolish Jaluk" Baeithra said readying herself for the fight to come.
"No other choice." Eldroth thought to himself. "Bastards."

Watching Glacius charging foward, Kiska whispered, "Provene, homine." After those words were spoken a bright light formed and a dupilicate appeared infront of Glacius. Confused, he began attacking her shadow warrior. Soon she crept up behind Glacius and swept her foot underneath his legs causing him to fall, but he quickly got up and pulled out his sword.
"Ahh, there is two of you," Glacius said. "Well this shall be interesting."
Glacius began swinging around his sword, Kiska and her shadow used their daggers to block every move, finally her shadow's energy died, causing her shadow to disappear. Glacius knew he had the advantage and began moving his sword's attacks quickly causing Kiska to lose balance and fall over.
"Ha Ha Ha, You thought you could defeat me?" Glacius asked.
Seeing Glacius raise his sword and aim it at Kiska's heart, she quickly rolled out of the way, got up and kicked Glacius in the back. He fell to the ground and his sword flew out of his hands flying across the floor.
Seeing her chance, she put her foot on his back and demanded, "Speak!!"
But not noticing he was too quick to react, he grabbed her leg again and flipped her to the floor, this time he rolled on top of her and started strangling her.
She tried to kick him off, but his armor was too great. She kept struggling.....
Oshida saw Kiska in trouble and jumped through the air, landing a flying kick into Glacius' side. Oshida drew both his daggers and the two warriors began to circle. Glacius struck first. He sweeped at Oshida's legs with his massive sword. Oshida side flipped over it and, spinning, tried to stab Glacius. However, his armor was too thick and all he managed to do was dent the armor. Glacius seized the opportunity and pushed Oshida at a wall. Instead of catching himself or dodging out of the way, he ran a little at the wall. Then at the last moment, before hitting the wall, Oshida dashed up the wall and backflipped off, landing behind Glacius. As he landed, he dragged his daggers down the back of Glacius' armor, cutting into to it and then slashed at his legs. Even though Glacius suffered this damage, he did not stop attacking. He turned around and brought his sword down to the ground with so much force he cracked the large slate tiles. Oshida was quick enough to roll away from the attack, calling, "I could use some help over here!"

Sir Karl quickly engaged himself in combat with Glacius. Despite Glacius' youth and previous wounds, the two were evenly matched. The narrowness of the hallway did nothing to hinder the use of their giant swords which they swung with great precision and tremendous force. But neither could land a truly crucial blow.
"You shall fall here old man." Glacius proclaimed.
"Ve shall see about zat!" Sir Karl yelled. "HIYAAAHH!!"

Seeing her chance, Kiska waited for the right moment. She tied up some rope and waited for the older man to push Glacius back some more. Finally you hear the sound woosh! Glacius screams and up he went. His sword fell out of his hands and to the ground.
"Ha Ha, I have finally defeated you!" Kiska exclaimed.
Dangling form the rope, Glacius knew he was defeated. Watching him hang, she grasped her arm and saw a spot of blood on the wrappings. She grabbed her arm and watched the older man and his group.
As he struggled he dislodged the small collar around his neck and it fell to the ground. Looking down at it they saw a familiar looking image. It was that of the mage's Talisman.
Sir Karl acted quickly and cut the rope.
"Vhere did you get zis collar!" he demanded. "Speak! Vhere did you get it!"
"(uhhh...) *Pant* *Pant* Wh...what's going on? What's happening here? Who are you?" Glacius asked.
"You were charmed, I believe, by the collar..." Eldroth said.
"Yes...yes, I remember now. It was...it was horrible!" Glacius said. "Oh, thank you all so much for freeing me from that enchantment! You...you must find the leader of these Lizard things...TorGal, I believe his name is. You must find him and kill him! If he falls, the rest of his minions will flee. I am afraid that I do not know where he is, though...or where Lord Hyrule is, exactly. I...I wish I did. But I think I do know something that might help you... Lord Hyrule was looking for a flail that belongs to him...it was disassembled long ago and the heads spread throughout the keep. I was helping him search when we were captured. He said it had powers of flame and acid and the like...things that would have aided us greatly against these vermin, had we found them in time. I...have the first of the heads with me, still...you may have it. If you find the other two heads, you could assemble the weapon. Lord Hyrule and I were heading to the hidden forge. He said it was behind a secret door in the armory on the keep's first floor. That might be a good place to look. I cannot thank you enough for releasing me. I...I would help you, more, but I simply cannot face them again. I...I wish you well..."
"So ze mage from Dun Craig is somehow involved in zis attack. I can't imagine how zough. It looks like just a simple case of Monsters attacking a castle."
"Zat is no different from ze situation in Dun Craig." said Sir Karl. "Monsters attack ze city wiz no really goal in mind, ozer zan simple mindless destruction, come then no time to dvell of zis now, let us find zis Torgal and put an end to zis siege. Und prehaps ve should look to piecing togezer zis flail thing vhile ve are at it."

Kiska walked over, her arm covered in blood, she bent over and picked up the collar. She started to examine the collar, suddenly the collar began to glow. "Ooooo.... so pretty" she said.
Kiska could see the power within the collar and wanted to wear it. Her temptation was great, but her will power kept holding her back.
Seeing that no one is watching her, Kiska took the collar and slipped it into her side pouch. "This might come in handy later," she thought to herself.
Afterwards, she walked back over to the group. "Ok group, where we off to?" she asked, hoping they would accept her and Oshida.
They headed back down the stairs to locate this secret forge, and prehaps the remaining flail heads as well. Venturing through the narrow corridors and winding staircases they entered a great hall like room. lining the walls were serval suits of armor. One of them was holding something that looked vaguely like a flail head. as Heinrich apporached it, it suddenly came to life and began to furiously swing it's enormous axe, knocking the young squire clear across the room.
"RRRGGGHHHHHH" it groaned eerily.
"Heinrich!!" Sir Karl exclaimed shortly before driving his sword through the neck of the armor knocking the helmet off, but the armor continued to move.
"It is hollow?!" Sir Karl said in astonishment.

Oshida looked at Kiska and shrugged, "I guess we follow anyways." He followed behind Lady Delana and then saw the giant suit of armor begin to move. Damn that's a huge beast! He saw the old man stab through the armor and knock off its helmet. Expecting the beast to fall over, headless and dead, he continued to walk. However, he stopped again as everyone else in front of him were not moving. The usually fatal blow did not kill the beast as the suit of armor was hollow, apparently being control by some dark art. "We must dismantle the suit of armor!" he shouted. Then he shoved past Lady Delana, wall ran on the left wall and sliced downward at the suit, knocking off one of its arms. He landed behind the suit and was preparing to attack it again when the unattached arm grabbed Oshida by the foot and pulled his feet out from under him. He landed on his back, banging his head on the ground. He could feel warm blood on the back of his head. The arm then jumped ontop of him. The gauntlet grabbed Oshida by the throat and then began to strangle him. "Help....," he gasped.

Watching Oshida, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "YOU ARE SUCH A SHOW OFF!!!!"
As she saw Oshida beginning to win the battle, she heard a little noise down the hall. Kiska walked over to where it was coming from, but couldn't find anything. Then she heard another whisper, "Put me on. Feel the power" Kiska couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Confused, she kept looking.
Summoning the power of Lloth to aid her Baeithra delivered serveral crushing blows to the suit of armor. The large dents made it akward for it to move. With it's movements slowed, it was unable to swing it axe with as deadlier force as before, allowing the adventurers to get closer and to attack the vulnerable points in the armor.
"Such magic is common place in the Underdark" said Baeithra. "I had no idea surface dwellers posessed it."
"Did ve vin?" asked Heinrich rising to his feet having just this moment regained consciousness.
"Ve did." replied Sir Karl. "Und ze flail head is our prize. With the one Glacius gave us, zat makes two, only one more to find now. as vell as ze hidden forge."

Oshida watched as the suit of armor fell down motionless. He felt the hand loosen as the life seemed to be sucked out of it. He got up and looked over at Kiska. "What is she looking at?" he thought. He walked over to her as the others continued to rejoice over the defeat of the suit of armor. He touched her arm softly. "Are you ok?" he asked.

Startled a little, she turned and saw Oshida. "Yea I'm fine, I just thought I heard something." she said to him. "Did we win?" Finally looking up at the group rejoicing. "I guess we did." she said.
Kiska walked over to the group to see what the next plan of attack is going to be. Again a voice called out to her, "Put me on, Feel the power!"
She turned around, but no one was there. "Odd!" she thought. "I swear I heard something speaking to me behind me, oh well." She turned back around to see where the group was going.

"Then why are you following us?" she asked the lady. "And who are you?"
"What is your name?" she asked.
** A shouts heard from across the cold floor**
A Large man Shouts "Lady Delana!!" as a Party Approaches
Lady Delana smiles as says, " ah my party has arrived " as she reaches out and snaggs the talisman back and retreats closer to her party
"Get ready Oshida, we might have some trouble coming our way," she told him.
