Rasor followed by Morgan, then Danidar, then the aging Torner ( panting heavily as he tried to keep up with the younger adventures ) ran as fast as they could there the forest. Stormwind, not wanting to be left out of any butt kicking either, nudged and poked at TymeKeeper to go also.
"oh o.k. you old nag, I'll go also. But I'm staying in the back, I'll be able to use my wrist rocket and keep myself safe."
By the time the group got there, the army that had been waiting was in a state of chaos. The orcs and hobgoblins had ran, many of the bandits were running around without orders.
Morgan picked a tree to brace herself against, Rasor and Danidar headed right into the middle of the fight, Torner reached the archer girl right before she was attacked by some trolls that were running away from Rasor. Torner then stopped for a bit to catch his wind. It seams the old man was not as athletic as he once was. Eventually TymeKeeper riding Stormwind came in also.
After a very exciting battle the party representing Bottomburn finally won, and all the evil monsters and bandits lay dead or had run away into the hills.
The elves treated the wounded and the adventures meet once again on the shores on the lake.
Rasor looked around
"Me want more to smash "
"I say we head straight to place that Pavek spotted, and confront this 'M' now " noted Danidar
The group once again headed off.
Torner had spent much time in the mountains while he was in the army, and thought about what Pavek had said about the description of the mountain.
"If memory serves me right that's mount Bottoms'up , and I know a short cut to get there"
"What's with all this butt stuff ?? I mean, first there's Bottomburn, then there's Deepbottom, now Bottoms'up ." spoke up an inquisitive Time Keeper. " Halla never told me about this. Oh that reminds me, I forgot to put some food and water out for Halla before I left. I better head back "
"Oh no you don't, your in this with the rest of us. "
"Say Gramp's , you said Ophyllia here was key to 'M's plan, but you never said what that plan was"
"Oh my dear child, Ophyllia owns something that 'M' needs real bad"
Ophyllia thought now. She couldn't see what she had that anyone else seamed to care for. Yes she knew of it's value, but it always seamed that others didn't see much value in it. There was only one thing that was anyone would even care about and that was her. . .
"No, Not my,,,"
" yes I'm afraid so, , your outhouse"
" Can't 'M' get his own ??"
"It's not quite like that. You see. 'M' wants to tear it down and put up something so hideously evil, he could never get it built in the city"
"And what would that be ?? "
"A Shopping mall "
