Chapter 2
by BPMaker
The orcs have unknown numbers and are spreading throughout your village. The men inside the tavern are no warriors. How will you respond to the threat?
Take the battle to the Orcs
You scream to the patrons of the tavern to block the doors and windows any way then can. "Fight for your lives!" you scream. With that you head out the front door with sword in hand!
There is no way you can take on four or more Orcs directly, especially in the dark. You developed a plan as you exited the tavern. Draw the Orcs away from the tavern and find a tight place where you could fight them one at a time.
You scream at the Orcs in the street. You curse them, calling them the worst name you can thing of, although you don't think that bothers them too much. Either way, it doesn't seem to matter. You can hear the Orcs pounding your way!
You duck down an space between the tavern and the next building and head to the alley behind the buildings. Your blood begins to boil and the desire to kill becomes strong, fighting with the desire to survive!
When you get to the alley behind the buildings, you wait for the Orcs you can hear following you. As the first one reaches the end of the alley, your wing your sword and slice the first one almost in half! You continue you swing upward and take the head off the second one!
Candle light from a window across the alley allows you to see the last two Orcs in the alley and with your quick reactions and extensive training, you quickly dispatch the remaining Orcs.
As you pause to survey the destruction you wrought, you hear hear a foot scrap the gravel on the alley behind you! You spin around and in the dim light, make out.....
Is it a friend or foe behind you?
