"Aten,the beasts found here, that are Trolls and Sabers. Do you know what they feed on?"
Kravis had a sudden fear on his face. He sensed something of great power nearby.
"I sense large numbers just overhead."

"Well, Saber Toothed tigers are pack hunters. They feed on Bison, Goats, Deer and the occasional innuit. Trolls on the other hand feed on almost anything they can find. They hunt alone. They are semi-intelligent. They use primitive clubs and spears. They average frost troll is about twice as tall as a grown man. However, unlike humans, they keep growing until they die so the older ones may be huge."
Upon hearing Kravis' premonition, Aten replied:
"Large numbers? Like an organized army? This mountain is not much of a battle field...its far to steep. They would be in clear sight anyway. Perhaps they are hiding behind the large rocks up ahead?"

"No,closer,they are closer."
Kravis looks around.Then dismounts.Not sure of what up ahead.He mounts up again.
"What else is found on this mountain?"

"Nothing else.. I mean.. unless its beneath the ground we travel on."
Aten laughs and then stops all of a sudden.
"I've seen enough crazy stuff in my life time. I could actually believe that."

"Approach with caution, there might be something."
Kravis rides around a large rock.A sight prefably not mentioned. Ten Saber toothed Tigers were massacring two trolls.
"This is a first,Aten come here,have you seen such a sight before?"
An archer,frightined by this view fires at the sabers.
"Fool! Brace yourselves!"

The arrow made its mark on a saber. The predator roared and the pack turned to face the group. They make a slow, methodical advance, leaving the trolls behind, half-dead.
"Oh dear this is not good. Thats a large pack. This steep slope is the last place I want to fight them."
Aten seems nervous. He had obtained serious injuries fighting Sabers before. Unlike tigers and lions, they were far more courageous and bloodthirsty.
Sabers come streaming down towards the small army of 24.

Lord Xan had been seemingly quiet through their travels after the rest stop. "Xan?Can you fight or are you going to be a burden on us again?" Kravis smiled as if to mock Xan . Xan was well know for his feats of bravery and valor.This friendship between Kravis and Xan was legendary. At this momentous day , they shall fight again . Side by side. ((Xan was getting a little bit left out. So this is a little tribute for Xan.Welcome back brother ))

Lord Xan smiles. He speaks while wielding his Quansortu and his Bringer Of The Light.
"I was just a bit troubled something has been bothering me like a constant toothache or like a pest if you like. Well more of that later...TO ARMS BROTHERS!!!"
With that he moved forward toward two saber tooth tigers, with his Katana he was slicing at them and blocking their attacks parrying from side to side.
He takes a mighty breathe and brings his huge war-hammer down on the skull of one of the saber tooths. He then, quickly jumps to the side unable to dodge the other saber tooth as it dives at him and pins him to the ground.
His battle skills were a bit rusty, but not rusty enough to not be able to get out of this situation.
Moments later the saber tooth howls in pain and Lord Xans Quansortu is seen pierced right through the gut of the beast.

The sabers are are upon Aten. One of the large beasts mauls him, throwing the man off his horse. He crashes into the snowladen, rocky ground and tries desperately not to roll down the slope. He can hears scream. Many soldiers have lost their footing and fallen down. Aten flings a boomerang at the head of the saber. It lands with a sickening 'thud' and returns to Aten's hands, almost magically. The saber growls and backs away from Aten, not wanting to receive any more head injuries. "Yea! Run away! That'll teach you!" Aten glanced at what was left of their exploration squad. The knights were hardly as adapted to fighting on steep slopes as the sabers. Some of the archers had made kills but overall, they did not seem to be winning. ((I felt the wierd urge to put up a picture of my favorite feline predator. ))

[glow=green,2,300]"Yah!"[/glow]
Kravis yelled and he jumped into the pack of Sabers. Dodge! Dodge! Dodge! Slash! Cut!
A saber looses a arm.Kravis jumps in the air. Three sabers charge below him and jump in the air. Kravis quickly opens a portal.The Saber who lost his leg was in the air . Kravis appeared below him and stuck his sword in his belly!Kill!
Kravis lost power over his swords.He was rejoicing on his first saber kill.A troll suddenly swings his giant club and throws across two sabers and a hero.

((No offense, but your understanding of space and size is pretty messed. Two sabers and you in one swing? How does a saber without a leg jump? Forget it for now, but dont do something like that again.))
Aten throws a boomerang at the trolls eyes. It whizzes towards the large, ugly, bluish creature and strikes him in his left eye. The huge beast moans and uses his hands to soothe his eye.
Upon catching his boomerang, Aten screams, "Lets get out of here! Weve lost too many men"

Taking Atens signal Lord Xan sheaths his Katana. He holds his warhammer with both hands so that he can gather all the strength he has. With that, he rams his warhammer straight into the Troll's Leg.
With a huge moan, the Troll stumbles and eventually falls with a loud thud. The Saber-Tooths move in on the larger prey.
This is their only chance to escape quickly. Lord Xan flees and is followed by the remaining troops and hopefully by the heroes.

Aten is close to Xan. Only 3 knights and 2 archers had survived. He still couldnt see Kravis anywhere. The roaring, screaming and moaning was lessening in volume as the party fled. The horses were gone. Aten could spot a few of them galloping away. They wouldnt have very long to live. Either the Sabers or the cold would eventually get them.
"Where's Kravis?" He yells to Xan.

Kravis fell on the ground. Nearby, the troll was being ravaged by the sabers. He stood up and realized his lower jaw was bleeding, his body was completely in pain.. He noticed the other two sabers next to him were either unconscious or dead. He stabbed them and opened a portal. He whispered.
"Campsite...campsite...campsite.."
Kravis realized that many knights and archers were killed.Aten and Xan fled by now. His reserves were very less. There was no way he could get to the camp site. He just got as far as he could. He saw no one around and collapsed on the ground.
Location - Ahead of Xan, Aten and the rest.

Aten can see a body lying up ahead.
"Xan! Look!"
He runs towards the fallen soldier.
"He probably got there through a portal. Look at his jaw! Its nearly broken. Do we have any healing potions? anybody!?"
Aten leans closer to the Kravis' face.
"Kravis. Can you hear me? Kravis!"
