Friend or Foe 4

"Looks like we made it on time boys" the Orc with the great axe said with his foot on Sheva.

Everyone who has been fighting has used their skills and were hurt. Yevn had a shattered arm that was slowly healing. Grunga was poisoned but could still fight, while Gorgo has been blinded and shot many times. Sheva, well, she was unconscious and under the foot of this Orc. The only one not hurt was Kelagar, but he had a bow and a small axe to defend himself.

Not only were these people tired from their fighting they were heavily out numbered by these Orcs.

They've been played.

"Im here to capture you all!" The leader of this Orc hunting party called out. "I don't want any resisting."

As he said this he made a gesture with his hand and the Orcs started to slowly take a step in enclosing the circle.

The two Ogres stepped back to back while the adventurers did the same.

"Brother I don't think we can take them all" Grunga said to Gorgo. "This poison is messing with me badly."

"Keep it together. Looks like we might have to work with the mortals to deal with these Orcs. Im not going to be a slave for them."

"What the hell do you want" Sheva called out. Her and her adventurer companions slowly made their way together to huddle up.

Both the Ogres and the Adventurers reluctantly stood by one another. They knew alone they didn't have a chance. Together? Not so much either.

"We are just going to ransom you back to your people." The Orc Captain said menacingly.

He draw his great axe. This signaled his men to do the same.

"Prepare for a fight all" Sheva said to not only her teammates but also the two Ogres.

The Orc Captain gripped his weapon ready for a fight!

"Get'em boys!"

The other 13 Orcs brandished their weapons and began making their way to the out numbered group.

"Ah fuck this!" Grunga screamed! He knew the poison was working fast. Faster he got to the Druids the faster he can be healed.

"Giants Impact!"

He swung his club down before a couple Orcs.

Nothing happen. The Orcs stopped for a moment.

"Hahahaha!"

"What was that?!"

"That was just a scare tactic!"

"What a weakling!"

"Come on boys! Let's gett'em!"

2 Orcs held their weapons up and lunged at Grunga.

[30] [30]

The two Orcs thrusted their weapons through each shoulder and pinned him down!

"Brother!" Gorgo started to charge but was intercepted by 4 Orcs.

Another Orc stepped on Grungas chest and held a blade to his neck.

"I can't wait to taste Ogre flesh!"

Right as he was about to swing everyone heard a deadly scream.

"AGGGGHHHHHGGGHHH!!!"

Everyone turned around to see what happened.

All they saw was horror.

An Ethereal hand jutted out of the Orc Captains chest holding his still beating heart. Behind him was Prydier the Wraith. The two Ogres, from what they could see, thought the Wraith looked familiar. Behind the Wraith a blood red Skeleton with a Khopesh in one hand and a shield in another. Everyone's eyes fell on the creature next to it. A pale male humanoid creature with black hair and shaped facial hair. One look at its black eyes with red irises they knew what this creature was. A Vampire!

"Sorry everyone. I'm here to crash this party. Prydier and Julki. You two kill all the Orcs. Don't harm the rest."

What happened next was a blood bath.

Prydier phased through the Orc Captain ripping his body in half. He charged the Orcs. Even filled with fear the Orcs forced themselves to fight. Two Orcs charged and swung their sword downward simultaneously. It only phased through the Wraith.

With each hand he grab an Orc by the fave before clenching. The Orcs screamed out in pain as their faces where slashed. They were blinded and blood flowed down their face. Even as they screamed they gargled in the blood. But this was short lived. The Wraith tightened his crap completely caving in their skulls.

Two down.

Julki jumped into the fray as well. With his sword brandished and shield ready he charged the closest Orc. With a quick thrust he was able to stab his blade through the Orc before pulling out. He nearly sliced the Orc in half killing him instantly! Another Orc watched as his battle brother was sliced in half by this red skeleton.

"YOU BASTARD!" He screamed as he took his sword swinging at Julki. He narrowly dodged.

As the Orc swung Julki dodged to the left side. While maintaining his momentum from the dodge he spun in a circle and extended his blade as he spun. He beheaded the Orc! He caught himself by crouching down.

*Clang* *Snap*

An Orc snuck up on Julki while he was fighting and attacked him. He managed to chip prices of bone off of his shoulder.

Staying crouched Julki performed a weird crab like walk. With each step he swung his sword while he held his shield above his head. Trying to block any attack he could.

4 Orc were fighting Julki and the other 5 where fighting Prydier.

It was a blood bath. The Ogres and the Adventurers just watched in horror. A vampire and his thralls were just slaughtering these Orcs like it was nothing! No matter how much damage Julki took he fought with full strength. Something the rest couldn't do. Although the Wraith was what everyone stared at. They've never seen such a creature! One that can just phase through attacks and still strike out. It was astonishing!

Even Lovo barely joined the fight. Knowing Kulki needed the most help he wouldn't lash out but only use his Blood Drain skill. Occasionally when an Orc would attack him he would only use his blade to defend. As soon as he would Julki would get an attack in. Either remaining in his crouching position to slash at their heels or would do an upward slash at their backs.

As the group watched Julki they took note of how dangerous he was but the Wraith was much worse.

He was surrounded by 5 Orc, but none could touch him! Half the time when one swung the Orc on the opposite side had to block as the sword went through the Wraith.

Prydier didn't hold back. As soon as a sword passed through him he would grab them by the wrist with one hand and with his other he would slash at their necks. Or occasionally rip out their hearts.

In a matter of minutes all the Orcs were killed. The group of adventurers and Ogres looked on in horror. They've all seen death before, but this was just a massacre! Even out numbered the Orcs didn't have a chance.

Julki stood back up, covered in blood. If the group didn't see the blood red color of his bones they would have thought this sight was much more intimidating!

"Good job Julki!" Lovo said while patting him on the back.

"Aw gross" as he pulled his hand back and was covered in blood he immediately shook his hand to get it off.

"And Prydier you were amazing! I had to dismiss you but a deal is a deal."

The Ogres eyes went wide hearing that. The Wraith was Prydier!? The same one they were tasked to protect!

Lovo, Julki and Prydier made their way to the group of the living. Julki stood behind Lovo while Prydier death stared at Yevn.

With a smile as he extended his hand Lovo spoke.

"Pleasure to meet you all! I'm Lord Lovo."
