The Might of Manshoon...

~The detachment of Archos's army fell upon the scattered remains of the Warlock's routed forces. the groupings of five or six men did nae even put up much of a fight. the ground all around them was bubbling from streams of acid that boiled earth and man alike. flames burnt across portions of the torn ground and the stench of death hung all around, but that was not the sight to behold. Their eyes drifted upward as the sky grew dark and the spring air was cut short by the winds of winter.~

~above them, Manshoon's small force fell upon the column of Alante's Red Dragon riders. The fighting was furious and fast. The Elder black dragon spewed acid into the air, and the sky burst into turrents of fire from the red dragons.~

~The ground beneath the fight shook with each falling red dragons. 10 so far. Manshoon had lost his priest, a mage, and one beholder...but his footing was sure. Keep the more numerous force encircled and bottled. but it didnt last, as the Red dragons dwindled down to 12 they dealt with the remaining 3 mages and beholder...forcing them to withdraw from combat. Manshoon and Mournygrym were left alone.~

~color shifting walls darted the sky as the red dragons manevuered into surrounding the elder wyrm. some went down from the walls, others avioded it all together. Another dragon fell to manshoon who was watching as his position was finally compromised from overwhelming numbers. Mournygrym fled...but was pursued...the young reds drew in for a final attack.~

~below, the soldiers watched as the Final attack unfolded. Out of the elven, four more dragons were stopped during the charge...and another three once they got close enough. the Mage striking one dead and the talons of the elder wyrm took another two, but that was it...the last four were on Mounrygrym and the Black Dragon lost as it heaved, convusling under their furious talons. it sank from the sky, leaving manshoon, who abandoned his steed, darting towards one of the dragons and driving his staff into it, sending it flailing to the ground below.~

~Mounrygrym glided towards the distant tree line, The four mages and the beholder were scattered like feathers in the wind...but of the 25 dragons, 6 were able to escape. However, of those six, three were in poor condition and would later be dealt with by Manshoon's lackies. it was a decisive vicotry for the small group, but at what price.~
