[Amanaduial the archer]

"Let me just get this straight, right...we have been waiting in a tree for more than 2 hours when Aduhil alerts us. As we are just racing off, we realise they are coming our way and what do we do? We decide to prepare an ambush. fine, fine...but why in another TREE?"
Ala grinned at Amans impatience as they sat in yet another tree, waiting for the orcs or uruk coming along the road. Aman comtinued, more out of boredom than anything else. "I mean, why bother to get out of the tree in thr first place? Hey, maybe were cursed...thats it, of all the the curses we could have had, we ended up with the curse of everlasting trees!"
"Ill bring you closer to nature in a moment...hey, maybe sitting on the ground would make you closer to it hmmm?" Ala replied, and Aman pushed her jokily. "Ha! Right Ill get you for that push; go on... tell us about this Lindir of yours..."
Aman laughed and Fea sat up, coming out of her depression. "Oooh, this sounds interesting Aman- go on!"
"Ok leave it OK? My Lindir? I avent even met hi-" She stopped as they heard the heavy tramp of hobnailed boots on the ground near them. Aman drew out her sais, Aduchil and Fea drew their swords and Ala wnt straight for sparking fire from her hands for a flame attack.
"Methinks we are about to be ridded of the dreaded curse of the tree..." Aduchil whispered as they prepared to leap down.

Lindir soon realised something was not right as he looked towards the camp. Maybe it was the crude way the tents were put up...or the foul slabs of meat over the fire...or suddenly he noticed quite cooly, the large orc coming out of a tent.
If there was one thing the elegant elf had always been able to do, it was keep his head and help others keep theirs. The others murmered with fear behind him but he turned his head to them and all observed his calm face.
"Ah!" He said, still in his placid voice. "Though I do not have a death wish, methinks these creatures do." He looked at the distance to the camp. Still qyite a way off, the orc a little stick thing. He swallowed. They had time.
"Let us alert Elenna at once!" With that he turned and with controlled panic to the map reader. "Look at that map and get us to Elennas camp. Really fast would be good!" With that he turned to see the orcs pointing and gulped.
"Speed freinds speed!" Although his voice was calm, he was terrified inside and wheeled his horse around to gallop in th dirction the map reader pointed, the elves streaming steadily behind him
