Velderag (Hyperborean Elf) Merlak the Kimmerian fighter struck the velderag again harshly.'Talk, elf!' he demanded as blood trickled out of the creature's mouth. Silence.'This is not good,' said Jorn the Kelt. 'Leave him be.'The Kimmerian turned to the Kelt.'I want to know if there are more of these things slinking around.'Eerie music suddenly could be heard on the breeze. Jorn stepped away from the Kimmerian and the velderag. Three arrows suddenly whirred from the cover of the forest, all striking Merlak with deadly precision. A cold blade was at Jorn's throat.'You live, but be party to this again and you will die,' a voice hissed in his ear.
