The battle was joined. Loharn began shooting arrows with deadly aim and Thorgon stepped forward and began to weave a web of steel before him. Flagdon with his large battle ax began slicing through what was the wights. Dead flesh and bone but with an intelligence. They were not easy to kill with normal weapons. Magic could destroy them as Timberlane did with his spells. That was what made them such nightmaress monsters. Even their mounts were gaunt and missing patches of flesh, revealing the white bone beneath. Oh they could be destroyed, but with much effort. Merry and Pippen were running in their swords attacking the bellies of the beasts and their legs. The Wrights could not hit them to well because of their size. The smell of death was almost over powering as the battle went on. The stench of the undead Wights was something Thorgon had never smelled before.<br/><br/>One by one the wrights went down and with a horrible screech one of the wrights let out the few remaining turned and fled into the night. But Timberlane was not done with them. In the dead of night a great light burst into being before the dead things. The light caused them to stop and scream in pain. These creatures were those of the night and in daylight or very bright light they were powerless and began to turn to dust. Only those that were called Dread Wrights could stand the light of day. These that had attacked them were the lesser ones.<br/><br/>Once the last of the foul things were gone, Timberlane extinguished the light and turned to the others. "We must be away from here. The smell of death might bring more of these things or worse things. It is best that we move on some and make camp again. Besides I don't think any of us can stomach much more of this stench." Thorgon had to agree. It was beginning to turn his stomach. They packed everything up once more and rode a few more miles away and again made camp. Once there, "Morgan will continue to send out his foul underlings to search for us and fight us." Timberlane said. "We must reach the Dwarven Kingdom soon."
