Greetings!

"You're heavy," says Diana as she wipes the sweat from her brow.

"It's the armor," explains Fred.

Suddenly they are engulfed in a shadow.

"It's time to die, you son of Belial!"

They look up to see another knight and three more men at arms standing behind him.

"Wait! He saved my life."

"Stand aside, Diana!"

"Please!"

Diana looks up at the new comer.

"You know him?" asks Fred.

"I do," she replies.

"We are here to slay the dragon," says the knight.

"As am I," says Fred, "but you hail of Kells."

"Indeed," says the knight, "we have information that the orcs are siding with the dragons for a major assault of darkness. Now is our only chance to slay the dragon. It is the king of the dragons who controls the strategy and the minds of the orcs. Organized, they pose a considerable threat. This is our only shot."

"I just slew five of them," says Fred, "and she a sixth. Let us work together for this, but let me rest my leg a moment."

"So be it," says the knight.

He instructs his men to establish a small wooden fort around the mouth of the cave. They busy themselves gathering the wood and sticking it upright from the ground.

1. Fred asks Diana how he knows the knight from Kells.
2. More orcs arrive as they complete their fort.
