Aleena had crossed what might have been a thoroughfare towards the opening to the sunken temple when she’d heard movement, then came a voice, and while it was noticeably elfish, it was a strange dialect... Her eyes, not the greatest in the sunlight, tried to focus on the being that had stepped out not too far from where she stood.<br/><br/>It was a female elf with bluish gray skin, by the looks of her. She held a weapon, and it was leveled at her, but Aleena doubted she was in any real danger. There had been other elves in the vision after all. “Hello” she called back with a tilt of her head. She tilted her head the other way suddenly, and looked towards the sounds of other movements... Before she could further reply or see who else was approaching, she sensed the danger they were in.<br/>—<br/>Grunts, followed by orcish cries seemed to come from all about them. A sense of panic washed over her as she turned to run, hoping the blue skinned elf wouldn’t fire at her as she moved, her boots carrying her across the moss and leaf covered ground towards the stairs that would lead her down to the temple... She held her short spear in one hand, though it looked more like a staff than a spear. One end was carved by knife into a pointy tip and the wood was a strange reddish color, strange for anyone not familiar with jungle wood.<br/><br/>As she moved her free hand lifted up and the fingers began moving in a pattern while she whispered a few simple arcane words, casting the ward that she hoped might protect her should one of the orcs target her... She managed to reach a large fallen tree near the opening to the temple and she dashed for cover behind it before she looked about, trying to focus on the attackers… An orcish arrow make a very loud thud as it embedded itself into the tree a few inches from her head…<br/>—<br/>The orcs were many, and this was just an advanced party. These elves were not the only ones to receive the vision, or rather have knowledge of it. A powerful entity was well aware, and he’d sent a large number of orcs to kill these elves and to prevent them from gaining access to the Temple at all cost. The orcs had been told they could do whatever they wished to these elves, so long as they did not survive in the end. A small group of three orcs were running towards Aleena, who braced herself, ready to receive the group… She had no idea what these creatures were, only that they were not very friendly… She tried to look for the blue-skinned elf, wondering what had happened to her after she’d started to run… But she’d had to wait a bit longer to find out, it would appear.<br/>—<br/>But as Khalia had stepped from her cover she had indeed been seen and several of the orcs moved in on her location, howling like mad as they charged… The path between her and Aleena seemed open, though orcs seemed to be converging from most other directions.<br/>—<br/>For Yslenor and Deet, they would quickly become well aware of the dozen or so orcs all around them in the woods and ruins, all seemingly converging towards the sunken temple, but somehow they both remained unseen, but for how long…
