Lars' spell struck the nearest barrel in the water and exploded as the magic runes were triggered. In a chain explosion the other barrels were all set off and the river was engulfed in flames.

The humans didn't need to wait long. Within the hour Tannr sensed movement coming from the eastern forest.

Jofrodr cast his spell and confirmed. "The elves are here. Looks to be about 30 of them."

Bodvar sneered. "We can take them."

The elves didn't seem to have noticed that they were walking into a trap yet.

Edrilor followed behind Maria. She was dressed in simple clothes, a huge contrast from her usual royal garments.

She had convinced him to help her slip away from the Ilinhame Palace as he had done so numerous times before to visit the city. She liked to spend time with her people, share in their experiences and troubles.

He wanted to make things up to her after having kept the information of the war from her. Had he been in the palace he would've known about the Battle of Gondorin and he would doubtless be told not to inform the queen, but he had been inside city for a few hours. It was there that the two of them learned about the Battle as the people spread the news like wildfire.

"Gondorin has fallen." Mairasse muttered after they heard the news in one of the inns near the central plaza. "Did you know about this?"

The Paladin shook his head. "No, no. I swear."

She heard sincerity in his voice, so he wasn't lying. "At least you aren't keeping it from me. Though how did these people know before a Paladin?"

Edrilor shrugged. "I am not sure. I don't believe anyone involved would leak the information."

People had alredy begun to gather in the plaza as the news brought about panic in the populace. The two of them participated briefly in the gathering before returning to the Palace.
