Here is my entry for Unrestricted Category: Ambush at Dead Tree Pass
GC7: AMBUSH AT DEAD TREE PASS
Mythrog listened to the birds chirp in the tree above him. Mythrog, Endrol, one of his commanding officers who’s name he believed was Carlik, and the platoon of Blood Legion had arrived at the Dead Tree Pass roughly an hour ago. After running though the plan again they had hid. Endrol and two Blood Legion crossbowmen hid on the top of the left side of the pass, two Blood Legion crossbowmen hid on the other side, Carlik took fifteen men down in the pass and hid in one of the many slot-canyons, and Mythrog took the rest of the platoon, and hid in the forest in front of the pass. Mythrog had taken his mount, a rare dark-brown great northern gray wolf,(called war wolves by trolls) and hid behind a large boulder with a Blood Legion troop. If all went according to the plan the queen’s soldiers would stupidly walk right in to the trap. As he waited for the dragons to arrive, Mythrog’s thoughts wandered. As soon as I get back I’ll begin the siege.
Even as he thought it, Mythrog realized that something was wrong. Why did the queen’s soldiers attack and take over Fort Dragon Skull? It should have been small and unimportant in the eyes of Galainir and her officials. Why did they use a wizard? The only logical answer is that they wanted to be sure they would win. But why? There wasn’t anything important about to happen there. Maybe… Mythrog thoughts were interrupted by a familiar bird call. Endrol’s signal that the queen’s soldiers were almost there. Five seconds later Endrol blew the troll war horn. As soon as he heard it Mythrog leapt on to his war wolf and charged from behind the rock, followed by his half of the platoon of Blood Legion, heading right for the commander at the center of the queen’s soldiers. Endrol and the Blood Legion archers began to rain arrows and bolts down on the queen’s soldiers. Carlik and his half of the platoon of Blood Legion burst from their hiding spot inside the pass and charged the queen’s soldiers.
Mythrog smashed into the front of the column of soldiers with devastating effect. Two soldiers lay dead before they knew what hit them. Mythrog brought one of his axes down on a hapless archer, while swatting another aside with his other axe. He heard the clash of weapons as his Blood Legion troops smashed into the front line of dragons, and Carlik and his Blood Legion troops smashed into the back line of dragons. Mythrog reached the leader, who raised his shield, and whipped his left axe around, hitting the mans’ shield hard enough to smash it to pieces and send him flying off his horse and across the canyon. Mythrog leapt off his mount and charged after the fallen commander. He knocked two helpless soldiers aside, and threw one of his axes. It hit the commander in the chest, killing him instantly. As Mythrog cut through the queen’s soldiers to get his axe, he saw a high ranking queen’s scout dash over to the dead commander and take a scroll out of the commander’s pocket. Putting it in one of his own, he set an arrow to his bowstring and fired, killing a troll on Carlik’s side. He escaped through the breach and ran back down the canyon with two other queen’s soldiers who managed to follow before the Blood Legion closed the gap. Two of them give chase. Mythrog stopped by the dead commander long enough to pull his axe free, and then dashed after the queen’s scout. He cleared the battle field and begin flat-out running. He bypassed the two Blood Legion troops and quickly caught up with one of the queen’s soldiers, and relieved him of his head without even slowing down. Mythrog overtook the other one and killed him too, only picking up speed. He saw the queen’s scout suddenly turn and run into one of the slot-canyons. Mythrog, heedless of the danger, plunged in after him.
