"I will target the Mage and the Warrior from the front row! You will not find me so easy to beat!" Tesni shouted, the purple energy resembled tounges of flame, writhing around the sword and it's wielder. Same battle order!

"I will target the mage and the rogue from the front row!" Tesni held tight to Cysgodion, this battle would be tough. "We can stop the mage and golem in one KO, the cart has a weakness to lightening, so Alexis, you spend on attack on that each turn until it fails. Everyone else, keep whittling down the others, focus on those who can do us the most damage." Battle Order Tesni Alexis Hoke Haldor Ellaria

Tesni felt the gumbo and mead take effect, she felt stronger and faster. Her fellow questors all indicated their readyness. Loking to their foes she inclined her head in a slight bow, "We are ready for combat."

Tesni nodded to the warrior. "Aye, 'tis a shame it comes to this. Mark me, we will surely help rescue your kinfolk." Tesni drank her mead and looked to her friends. "Prepare for a battle fellows, tell me when you are ready and I will signal the start of our combat." Tesni was aggrieved, although betrayal stung, she was beginning to understand the neccesary evils of life, the things that were not pure 'right' that had to be done for survival and to provide for others. Cysgodion hummed soothingly but still Tesni felt that this combat was not right by either side. The Orcs wanted to rescue their people, her team wanted to return the missing children and gain the experience and rewards of successful battle. Although their cause was noble, the Orc's methods had tainted it... Still, kinfolk were important to near all...'By Cryfder's might and the proud name of Hightribe, I will help them rescue their kin' she vowed.

We all knew the only way Quest 12 would end! Be honest now, if we had struck a deal, something would happen to nudge someone to level 15 right?

"Each battle was tough, but all were marked by betrayal. I would like to be able to split the prize with them, we cannot fight their power all at once but each one claimed that talking would work and each one betrayed us." Tesni whispered to the others. "The only two who did not give false were the twins, they just fought, which does not reassure me..."

"We will face our orcish foes there yes?" Tesni said to herself. She took out the gumbo and drank it down.

Taking deep cleansing breaths Tesni stood over the vanquished traitor. Ant slime slid from Cysgodion, purple mist receding to the pommel stone once more. Now to face the Orcs, all at once it would seem. Tesni patted her bag, the clinking vials would assist her in this coming battle. "I am glad you are ok children. Now to rescue your brother from those Orcs." She indicated to the others it was time to search for the Orcs. "Do we have any ideas where they might be? Or onwards to the entrance of this maze?"

"We helped you and you return with trying to eat our young charges!" Tesni shouted, angrily, the purple flashes from Cysgodion added an eerie emphasis to her words. "Again, from the front row! We only need a few good hits!" Battle Order same,

"So many betrayers! I will attack from the front row, you brought this upon yourself!" Battle Order Alexis Tesni Hoke Haldor Ellaria

"Yes, we have visited each location on the map now, I think the entrance would be the next step. Good idea Ellaria, or we could be walking all around looking for the camp."

ASDA has knocked £10 off the RRP of the Alien Mothership and the Marina is now around £25.

"We shall fight two for two. I will target the baby A from the front row. Alexis is using both attacks on the momma. Hoke and Haldor, one of you gor for the big one and one for the little one! We will finish this soon!" Same battle order.

There was a very large LEGO Pudsey bear on Children in Need, it was with the children's choir, possibly the Manchester contingent, I got confused trying to figure out where those without location lables were.

It depends. If I am happy with the design I will stick it on the part, if I just like how the sticker looks I will keep it on the sheet until I have a MOC it would work on.

"Thank you for the help Antia. I will attack Young Scorpion (D) from the front row!" Same battle order

It is the Shattered Moon, (see part one) the one at the back is "Fix" she is the engineer/medic, and the one on the floor is the commander. The girls are going to have a bit of a break and then we go back to the start of their story, I need to collect together parts.

"At last, a battle without tricksy Orcs! I shall target the Young Scorpion (D) from the front row! We have been misinformed and attacked without provocation all quest, even now you attack us without first speaking. This chaos is an ill informed darkness, but soon it shall be resolved" It was strange, the words came unbidden from her mouth, while her attack was her own the other things were not. They were familiar, as if she had known them a very long time, and yet it was as if she had known them for a very long time just now... "Alexis! You are hastened by your quiver, you can attack two or twice, please say which. With six enemies, taking two targets will shield from free hits. Everyone else, ensure you are attacking the stronger young, the weak ones can hit us for free with little hurt but the strong ones will do more damage! Unless of course Alexis choses to strike two ants." Battle Order: Alexis Ellaria Tesni Hoke Haldor Tesni decided to hold on for her hastening, the Orcs were a battle that would need her to be fleet of foot.

"To point four! It is good to have an ant on our side, I will make sure that everyone has some cookie to share in battle." Tesni strode ahead smiling, trying to ignore the strange feeling pressing in her head. The purple had spread through her entire eye, leaving no discernable features. It seemed to be slowing down a little now, but it still felt odd.

"Now who needs some good luck eh?" Tesni waved the nostrum. "Children, we need to go and help the poor ant and then grab your brother."

"Why don't we go back to the ant now? We may be given something really good that will help in future battles. As for the other stuff, Haldor and Ellaria and Alexis can have Tonics if they want. I would find a potion helpful. Who needs what?"

I thought it would be perfect to let the world know that Eurobricks has Dino Plus it worked with my caption. But I had to go full nerd with the heading.

"I think we should follow him, we do not want to lose two children." Tesni started to follow after the boy.

I write. Got one short story published in a small Spec Fic 'zine, working on a pitch or two for submission to comics publishers and writing two novels with varying success in progress. A smatter of FanFic (Doctor Who at the moment, apparently my "voice" works well with it) and many many short stories.

"Yes, 4 might also be home to the Orcs and we want to fight them for the child, I am sure the others will not mind if we backtrack later." Tesni inclined her head to the Ant. "Antia we will seek out a sugary treat and if we find one will return. Alexis please let the ant know that."
