"I will go alone" Melharn shortly replies, and call Karsk "It is your responsibility. To hold the horde together until I return. Attack two trade caravans and return to the forest... I will be back. Farewell. My friend." When he finished He walks forward putting back his Axe.

Karsk acknowledges your command with a simple grunt, and watches as you enters the shadows.
"You are a bold one, Orc." The Shade nods, "Know that we select whatever means necessary to reach our goals, but we are men of promises. If you honor your side of the bargain, so will us. You are in good hands, and I promise you safety and respect. Come, our time is short." Within seconds, you feel as though you are being pulled into the night; at least that's what you initially thinks. You enter a place of darkness, yet you can still somewhat see your surrounding, albit blurry. You follow these dark creatures northeast, and each step you take seems to move you with blinding speed across the land. |

Now what is left to do is to finish this deal Alive Thinks Melharn while following the Shades.

After a couple of hours, the Shades stopped, and exits the Plane of Shadows. Stor, the commander of this subdivision of Shades, explains to you, "Travel via the Plane of Shadow is fast, but somewhat inaccurate. Thus we have to exit prior to our destination and readjust our course with normal means."
The travel contiunes, and before long you have stepped on to the desert area, and to the north you can see a large group of creatures approach near the horizon. Stor sighs with relief, "We are right on time... you'll be able to see our commander, Leevoth and our main force shortly." |

"Very good!" Melharn Shortly replies. "We have much to discuss." He pauses and a second later with smile adds "After the battle. I feel that our Alliance will benefit our both."

As you approach, another rift opens nearly right in front of you, and a large number of Shades appear. The leader apologizes and explains that they are running late and thus did not exit early enough. Soon, all the Shades are groupped, and the apparent high commander of the Shades step forward, looks at you, then turns to Stor, "You want to explain this?"
"We met this Orc when we were recovering near the High Forest." Stor replies, "He has a rather interesting proposition for you, Leevoth. Perhaps you should hear him out." Leevoth turns back to you, and signals you to speak. |

"He is right. I do have an interesting proposition. I am the leader of the orcs from the north. I have no personal interest in the artifact. However I am looking for an allies. I know that your army, the Shades, were defeated at the last few battles. And I know that you will fight another one soon. I am willing to help you beat the Windwalkers and assist you in the future by stooping all reinforcement from the north. This way you will have one front line less to worry about in your search after the magical items. However from you I will expect Help when the time is right for me and the horde to attack the humans and the elves. We need land. Land, just that..."
"You will find that i am a capable fighter." He adds and shows him his still bloody Axe. --------------------------------------------
The problem that we thought was a problem was, indeed, a problem, but not the problem we thought was the problem. |

Leevoth looks at you for about a minute without saying anything. Finally, he nods, "For further alliance, I cannot decide for my people, but I believe the Prince will gladly accept our offer. As of now, if your people would aid us in the upcoming battle, we will return the favor immediate. If everything goes perfectly and we acquire the Avatar spell, after our Prince ascends, you shall have a god as your ally. Where are your people? Can they be transported here shortly?"

"Yes! It will be great battle. No orc will miss such honor" Melharn says with much pride. "The are at the high forest. another fifty people are on the road we meet you at. If you will use the spell... the spell you used on me. They will be ready in a matter of two hours. We are ready and willing to fight and die to achieve the goal.

Nodding, Leevoth organizes the Arcanists from all the surviving Shades, and produces several scrolls from his murky, shadowy belt. "These are in case of our retreat back to the City, but this is a mission we cannot fail. We have no better use for them than to gain a sizeable amount of allies. Go, bring forth the Orcish horde that this Orc speak of. Not you, Colle, you need to trouble yourself with these kind of tasks. You stay here and plan our attacks with us."
Turning back to you, "Give these man something of meaning to your people, so they will follow us here without needing your presence." |

Melharn gives the man his Holy symbol and the Bow. "Karsk and my men will recognize it easily. Just make sure you take the fifty orcs from the road too. They are valuable and strong warriors. My right hand, Karsk is with them."
"I am sure that the orcs are something that no one predicted. And what do you know about the enemy? Their capabilities numbers and strong individuals." |

You see the Arcanists incants the spell from the scrolls, and a rift of shadow opens as you observe how you travelled here. One by one, they disappear into the gaps, and the gaps close.
"Soon, they'll be here. Have you any plans, Orc?" Leevoth shakes his hands, "Forgive my manners... now that we are allies, what should I address you as?" After you introduce yourself, Leevoth and his head Arcanist withdraw from you and start to discuss in a tongue strange and unknown to you. After a couple of hours of discussion, the other Arcanists return with the horde. Orcs, hundreds of them, step out of the tear in space between the Material Plane and the Shadow Plane. They all hail you, and are obviously anxious about the battle to come. |

"I am Melharn. The Leader of the Orcs from the North. My Orcs are well trained in Combat. Each unit has its own specialty and purpose. I have more then four hundred Orcs, that will be very good addition to Our side. However I would like to know what enemies we are facing. Who are they and what are they numbers?" He replies to Leevoth.
When he sees the horde he greets them loudly "Welcome, My orcs. The time to prove our strength has come. After defeating the enemy Every piece of land in the High Forest will be ours!" Melharn walks to the person with his bow and holy symbol, asking for them back. |
