Minas Morgul, the home of the Witch King... Confronted by two elves on their journey to find the answers which they seek.
Having once conquering the black gates of Mordor and striding in with ease, the two elves come to a new, even greater challenge. The home of the Witch King, Minas Morgul… Dreadful in every way the dark tower glooms with malice and death, the true abomination of evil lies inside. The couple tread the dark paths carefully their eyes keen to any shadows that cover them seemingly to reach out for their souls. The air is dense, and hard to breath in as a sense of fear washes the area, the two go forth crossing the bridge up to the massive gates with no regrets or second thoughts to turn around. Inside, hope lies to find the answers the Warrior has been seeking for thousands of years, but to what is he searching for? As they near the gate Ithilcalad falls to his knees as he grips his heart as if ghost as ripped at is very soul stifling his movements. Kierra quickly falls to her knees to catch him and turns him on his back as his eyes gleam with a fire long forgotten before they roll into the back of his head and he lays limp in her arms… =========================================================================== …Minas Morgul… …Ugh… …Inside a force so great awaits you… …Why won’t you tell me who you are?... …They say the Witch King can be killed by no mortal man… …You expect me to kill the Nazgul?... …No.. you will find your answers soon… …Why can’t you just tell me?... …It is something you must find yourself… …*sighs*… …You are courageous Ithilcalad… …You’re not much help… You seem to just get me into shit, more then help… …Nearly 7900 years have you been around, but have you ever really found a meaning to be here?... …No… …No? But you have did so much… …But why did I? Everything I’ve lived for and did, I never had a true reason. Always guided by gut feeling, that’s what has kept me alive… …Prehaps so… Keep following your gut, you will see your answers are closer then you think… …AWAKE… =========================================================================== The voice fades away as the Warriors eyes open and elven lady looks down to him. “Are you ok?! You passed out without warning.” She exclaims with a concerned look. “Ugh… yea I’m fine we must not stop, lets go forth there is no turning back now.” He comments as he rises back to his feet with the assistance of his arcane accomplice. They near the great gates that seem to loom over them like a giant, with a mighty battle-cry that seems to rattle the very foundation of the earth itself, Ithilcalad shouts out “Etelehtanyel nórenyallo!!!” and a silent pause occurs… Staring up at the great fortress of the fell Witch King, you falter momentarily in your decision to assail his stronghold. With arbalests covering every foot of city's entrance, and terrors the likes of which have not been seen ere the time of Angband contained within its walls, Minas Morgul is not something to be challenged lightly. Summoning up your courage, you step forward and pound on the reinforced gates with all your might, the echoing boom resonating up to the bitter crown of the Tower of Sorcery. The doors begin to swing open slowly, and a huge form appears from the blackness within. There is no turning back now... The gate troll and his forces appear!

The marble fortifications rise out of the ground in a staggering line across your entire field of vision, radiating out a sickly, yellow corpse-light that exudes decay and illuminates nothing.

Warning ----------- Bowman ---------- Got hit by Lightning Bolt! Warning ----------- Gate-troll ---------- Got hit by Lightning Bolt! Warning ----------- a vial of vigour ---------- Got hit by Lightning Bolt! You almost debone Gate-troll like a dead chicken. You killed Gate-troll. Gate-troll says in some strange tongue: che. hourhe. aaaaahhh.... The gargantuan troll, riddled with many wounds, is finally overcome. He ceases his attacks and sways for a moment, a painful expression upon his ugly face. In a furious rage, he turns about and moves back toward the gates, pounding helplessly in his death throes for his comrades to open up. His great fists easily scare the guards on the other side, and they scatter, allowing him to pry the barrier open with little effort. The exertion turns out to be his undoing, however. No sooner does the great troll secure his escape than his devastated body starts to shake and quiver. Something inside ruptures, and he clutches his torso with a rumbling moan, slowly falling to the ground. He crashes down with an earthshaking impact, then careens off the edge of the path with a last mournful wail. Minas Morgul has been breached! In a panic, the arbalest guards take up arms and flee their positions, ready to battle man-to-man in order to save their home from destruction. The pikemen panic as their leader dies, they discard there pikes and flee! The bowmen panic as their leader dies, they loose there nocked arrows and flee! The soldiers panic as their leader dies, they scatter in fear of failing their Dark Lord Gate-troll has died. =========================================================================== Finally! The gate-troll falls to his knees as the warrior charges head on leaping up into the air and swings his blade downward, impaling him in the head as the blade slides through the brain, dropping the troll to the ground. Thunder roars and lightning crackles all around striking the forces laying waste to them as the soldiers are filled with fear seeing their massive guard brutally slain by the elves. They pickup their weapons and flee back into the massive tower to prepair for their last defense of their home as the two elves grin slyly and charge inward towards the shadows, and evil laughter seems to echo all around as the giant gates close once more and the two elves go into the darkness in search of answers unseen... ===========================================================================
