A small swarm of eager new comers burst rank after the Captains speech, surging
down the newly cut road. The Drow turned, watching the men charge carelessly
down the path disapearing from view. A few mages and higher ranking pirates
stepped beside the Drow, watching as the last man vanished from sight.
Exchanging glances with one another the small army waited in silence as the
charging swarms triumph yells suddenly changed to shrieks of surprise and
terror. With a large grin, the Drow turned to the nearest soldiers, raising his
hands palms up and noding slightly, "Ehh?" The soldiers began laughing
hysterically as the Captain turned to the mage nearest him.
"Burn it down."
The mage blinked in surprise, "All of it?"
The Drow nodded, making a sweeping gesture to the woods with his arm, "To
the ground."
Staring at the captain for a moment the mage nodded and began to concentrate,
soon the rest of the army's mages were appearing through magical gates. As one
the group turned to the wide expanse cut through the forest, raising their hands
to the sky the air began to grow thick with concentrated magic. The centermost
mage lowered his arms, one had facing the forest, the other drawing a small
flint from a robe pocket. Throwing the flint forward a tiny flame burst into
existance, the rest of the mages lowered their arms to the forest as the tiny
flame lengthened and grew before the mages. The length of fire began to change
color from the center out, turning a brilliant white. As the bar of flame
finished its transformation a huge wave of fire shot forth, instantly enveloping
the treetops in towering flames. The fire raced down the wooded path, trees
exploding as their sap became superheated. The army seemed moved back slightly
as the flames grew larger and hotter, spreading into the forest at frightening
speeds.
Laughing hysterically, the Drow happily approached the small group of mages.
Their jobs complete they stood in tight formation supporting one anothers
weight. Throwing his hands onto the shoulders of two nearby mages, the captain
grinned broadly, "Good thing you've got apprentices" turning slightly to
the army with a sweep of his hand "because now we fireproof the masses."
A unified sigh escaped the mages.

Stroking his beard slowly, the King of Elsfar thinks about the events
weighing heavily upon his mind. He glances over the scrawled note again,
nodding at the figure who delivered it.
"He can expect troops as quickly as possible. They will have to travel
by boat, though. We are having our own problems here and I can not risk
sending my mages to a slaughter."
The figure bows to the king, expressing his appreciation. "I shall
return to Duke Lance and inform him of your decision."
With that, the messenger turned upon his heal and strode out the door.
The king turned a weary face upon the near by advisor. "Four ships and a
fifth to carry supplies. Send them south upon the shores of the Western
Continent. Stoggle has visited the area and created maps of it. Have him
deliver them to the captains. Pray to Barbades that they make it there
safely."
The advisor nods, quickly leaving to deliver orders.
************************************************************************
Ships fully stocked with soldiers and supplies set sail from the docks
of Southern Barreston, heading west across the ocean toward the Western
Continent.
Upon sighting the shores, the fleet heads south, with intentions to port
near the Pixies stronghold, Sandcastle. From there, they would sneak south
through the forest to meet up with the Pixie Duke and his men.
Little did they know that not only did the Drow Captain leave manned ships
within Swanson Harbor, but also along the shores of the Western continent.
A battle between fleets ensued. That of Elsfar were prepared for battle
inland and not at sea, quickly becoming the under dogs in the battle with the
well-seasoned sailors. The captain of the flag ship quickly turned to his
First Mate.
"To the supply vessel with you! Head back to the Kingdom and spread word of
the Elbarite's spread across the western shores." He looks to the shores.
"We will see if we can make it to shore. The Duke will have to deal with a
lack of supplies from us."
The First Mate nods, stepping through a gate to arrive on the supply ship,
which was already beginning to head back north.
One ship of soldiers were down, two able to access the shore with some
cassualties. The pirates suffered as well, some daring to follow onto land
only to be cut back by the skilled soldiers of the king.

Connerty and Tiny Rapids find that it is their duty to send
troops in the aid of those trying to defend the Western Continent
from the pirate attack. They send many, but only half are able
to make it to the rendezvous at Sandcastle with their lives.
Heading into the forest, they follow the directions of pixie
scouts after the Soldiers of Elsfar. Unknowing of just what
might lie before them, they avoid going anywhere near the
village of Swanson. Many of their own family members resided
there, and knowing their fate might waver the soldiers from
their goals.
