"The West walls been breached!"
The shout rang out along the castle battlements as Elderoth turned from his place on the parapit, dark braided hair blowing in the wind as below him in the courtyard, the West wall disappeared in an explosion of black smoke, orange flames, dust and rubble while the distant figures of the attacking force swarmed through the breach too fall upon the stricken defenders!
"Looks like we're up!"
The Warrior shouted to his two companions as he turned and sprinted too the tower door, wrenched it open and started off down the stairs, Eddie and Lel'kum, after a brief glance at one another also turned from their viewpoint and ran after their comrade.
The leather and chainmail clad trio clattered helter-skelter down the winding tower-stairs and crashed through the door at the bottom into the main hall-way and reached the main pair of double doors at a run;
A Sentry pulled open the smaller door set into the great wooden gates and managed too shout a quick
"Good luck!"
As the three Warrior passed him.
Out in the court-yard, Elderoth slowed too a halt and drew his broadsword, Eddie and Lel'kum pulled up on either side of him, weapons also appearing in their hands, some distance away, before the ruined West wall, the castles defense was wavering under the increased preassure of the attackers.
"Ready for this?"
Elderoth asked his companions as they strode towards the melee, they both nodded as the din of the battle grew nearer;
"One more victory, and we can retire undefeated!"
Elderoth grinned and stood ready, raising his sword as the first group of attackers approached, clad in simple leather armour, with strips of cloth tied over their noses and mouth to protect from the dust, the soldiers advanced.
Elderoth looked deep into the eyes of his first opponent and saw what he was looking for, a flicker of recognition, followed by a flash of doubt and fear in the mans eyes.
Grinning, Elderoth raised one gauntlet hand and beckoned them on..!

OOC-
Right, hello first of all, and welcome too Evening Star!
I don't want too be too long winded here but I'll just add a little background information too where this story is taking place.
This RP is set in the land of Kalsea, a fictional land of creation, and it's lay-out is fairly simple-
Setting-
Kalsea is a rolling mass of plains and green fields, dotted liberally with settlements, towns, castles, farms, ruins, forests and just about anything else an adventurer could want.
Too the North Kalsea is bordered by towering, snow capped mountains, known as the 'White Fangs' these towering peaks are home to the proud yet fierce Barbarian tribes, although protective of their lands, these Warriors do allow safe passage for travelers, traders and all who come with peaceful intent.
To the West stands the towering trunks of the White Oak forest, which stretches for miles and is mostly uncharted and mainly populated by Elves.
To the South, the green plains eventually give way to coarse shrub land and finally, desert, not many people have explored out this way but the Desert is rumored to be populated by Nomads and Tribesmen, there are also rumor of a lost city of gold somewhere deep within the sand, but as I said, no one has ever seen it...
To the East lays Kalsea's most prominent feature, the coast, and along the entire length of the coast and pushing far inland into the virgin countryside, sits the vast urban sprawl of Kal'dara, a vast Cityport and home too all sorts, from the Pirates and Bandits who fester the warterfront too the rich merchants and trading companies who run the richer and market districts;
It is a city where one can find almost anything, if they know where too look.
Introduction-
The main story of this Roleplay starts at Castle Radan, a fortress located down on the Kalsea plains, although characters can start just about anywhere they wish, I always like my RP's too have an open, 'Sandbox' feel too them, allowing the players too enjoy some freedom with their characters too go of and explore if they so wish.
If all goes too plan there will be plenty of side quests and stories for characters to get involved with should they choose, Kalsea is a vast land and there is Always something going on!
