*JC takes the words of his friend with great honor and respect. he realizes the dangers of this quest, but he cant back down now. he prays to the gods for his life and then answers*
"i wil be the bait for this quest, we will defeat our foe and then we will have a round of drinks at the tavern on me."
*he chuckles as he finishes*

Then let us get into position...

*SForce turns to his friend and pats him on the back. No glances are exchanged, no words are spoken, but he knows the danger his friend is in and he will do his best to make sure no harm is done to him.*
*He looks at the other three members of the group and then at the forest. He puts his hood up over his head, shielding his identity from anyone else that might look over. He places one hand on the heel of his sword and takes a few steps foward.*
"Dwarf, you are on foot, Me, Shadow and Phantom are in the trees." SForce says with confidence "Shadow, lead on...."

*JC has found a new respect for SForce now, even though no words were said he nows that SForce knows that he is risking his life for the greater good. JC walks into the lighted area of the forest with his axe drawn and his shield up, preparing for the worst.*

~ The halls of DG were basically quiet. Most members are asleep by now, except for one room. It had the consistent noise of the scrawl of a quill pen. Papers stacked up on a desk. Behind them was the writer. A shrivled looking man with gold skin. His hand moved with a grace not remanisant of a man of his physical traits. Raistlin was tired of the forms. Signing his name has never been so mundane. He's just been promoted to Clan Leader and has yet to rid himself of the paper tower. ~
*This is nonstop. I just wanted to help the clan get new members and I'm burried in paper work. Not to mention this castle needing a complete remodeling. I'm so bored.*
~ His thoughts wandered him away from his duties. As he looked at the stack it was getting toppled. Not many left.~
"Sir, more partitions. You want me to just place them on top?"
~ The squire came up to the desk and placed another bundle of memos and requests on the leader's desk. Raistlin sighed with content.~
"I'll never see the light of day will I?"
~ The squire just shrugged and headed for the door.~

*JC and the others start towards thier dangerous trek into the darkness of the the woods. as soon as he sees that his three mates are in the trees ready to strike, he begins to walk into the darkness of the woods.he stands at the edge of the woods. adapting his eyes to the darkness, but he feels that his mates think he is a coward and is backing out. JC continues into to darkness. he hears the howls agian louder than before but still far away, but close enough that they could strike within the hour. also he heard the rustle of leaves in the trees.*
"i hope by when all of this is over, i can still have a drink after this" JC mumbles to himself
*JC hears the howls agian, they are closer. He begins to calculate the time of esimated attack, but he sees what he thinks are eyes in the darkness. But are they really there or is his fears getting the best of him?*
*After a couple of minutes of speculating they eyes he realizes that it was just the light from the outside of the forest and he contines to move on.*

*Shadow moved silently from branch to branch under the guise of his namesake, seeming to be only a swath of darkness moving overhead. He paused, listening and calculating, each time the screams began anew. They continued deeper and deeper into the forest before he signalled for everyone to stop and wait there.
Shadow glanced around to the other two clan-brothers in the trees, nodding to each before turning his gaze upon the lone dwarf in the small clearing below. He had a new respect for this one, for not many would willingly offer themselves as bait for a trap.
A cadre of very-near cries filled the groups ears and pulled Shadow from his thoughts, bringing him back to the task at hand.
His eyes darted all around the edges of the clearing, waiting for a glimpse of the robed figure he had briefly seen the night before. Slowly he brought his dagger to his mouth, and clenched the blade in his teeth before swinging himself down to hang from the limb by his knees.
The group could now see the tell-tale lights moving about through the trees, while the cries grew louder.
The first of the brings came out from the edge of the clearing about 30 feet directly ahead of the dwarf. A second emerged from the left side, and three more from the right. They quickly moved to try and flank and surround the bewildered dwarf.
Shadow had never before seen such a creature. They wore pure white robes, and themselves seemed almost incorporeal and ghostlike. Beneath the cowls of the hoods they wore, however, was the most ghastly, twisted visages he had yet encountered. It was obvious the faces had once been human, but the humanity had left them long, long ago.
Shadow closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath while focusing on the sounds of the things below him. As the creatures advanced upon JC, Shadows eyes popped open, the whites of his eyes now completely black, and signalled to the others to attack.*

*JC now sees these white things moving towards him, he notices one about 30 feet in front of him and then a couple to the left and the right of him. He now realizies what danger he is in. He clutches onto his dwarven shield and axe. He takes a couple steps back so he could not be flanked. he looks into the trees to see if his help is coming, but it is too dark and it seems to him that the evil creatures will kill him instantly. but then he remembers how much respect he has from SForce, and he cannot let him or the rest of the Demon Guardians down.
"its now or never, let the gods be with me..." he mumbled to himself as the white robed things came at him.
*then he hears the rustle of leaves and a renown confidence came to him and he stops backing up and brings his shield up and his axe ready to strike. he waits for the others to attack from the trees*

*There was a blur of motion as Shadow dropped from his perch, his descent landing directly on top of one of the beings. At the moment of impact, he delivered a fist into the side of the thing's face, the corners of his mouth twitching upward in a smile at the satisfaction of feeling a good solid blow breaking the bones beneath his fist. His weight crumpled the creature onto the ground, and in the same instant, both vanished into the black shadow of a nearby tree, seeming to continue falling through the earth's surface.
A moment later, Shadow reappeared in the branches of that ame tree, holding the creature aloft in the moonlight by its throat. The thing writhed and screamed in agony as even the soft moonlight burned away its robes and withered skin. In a matter of seconds, there was nothing left of it but a few ashes floating in the cool night breeze.
He watched the ashes fluttering downward briefly before dropping to the ground and clasping the dagger in his right hand, ready for the next kill to present itself.*

*SForce looked at his friend below. He was stiff, cold with fear, but the aura he felt was of confidence and bravery. He had to assist him in any way possible, even if it cost him his own life.*
*He placed his bow in his left hand, and quickly placed an arrow in the middle, aimmed in front of his friend and fired a shot. Whether the ghostly figures were scared or not were beyone him, but he had to take action. Shadow had eliminated one of them. It seems light is their true enemy.*
*SForce looked to Shadow as he was ready to dip down and grasp another. But these enemys werent stupid, they knew Shadow was their, and after the arrow fired they realized their was another in the trees.*
*He put another arrow on the string and fired it, straight on to the ghost this time, hitting him right in between the eyes. The ghost let out a loud, earth shattering scream. SForce covered his ears at the terrible scream. After the ghost stopped he squinted and looked down at the figure. But it was still moving. Then he realized, this wasn't a scream of death, but a scream of revenge. And with this fear and dought overcame the elf. He was second guessing coming in here without any plan or any backup. Metal couldn't kill these things and thats all two of the members had here.*
*SForce looked down at his long time companion. Adrenaline rushed over the elf and he realized his friend, the bait, stood no chance of survival. He was all body, all axe and shield, which was all metal. SForce glanced to Shadow and Phantomkiller, and without explaining a word to anyone he started to act.*
"JC get out, run back to the fortress, don't protest just go!" SForce shouted to his friend "Shadow, Phantom, we have to hold them off and retreat back to our stronghold, we will not survive the hour if we stay here. Retreat! Save the dwarf, knock em' back from his tail!" SForce shouted nerviously
*He took another arrow and fired it in front of JC to back off any potential danger, but only for the moment.*

*JC sees one go down and scream but he doesnt know how and he isnt the time or place to do such a thing. Then he feels something go by his head and sees the arrow lying on the ground. JC thinks to himself 'damn he gave is cover and i dont know how much longer i can hold them off'. He then hears another arrow qiz by his ears and sees it stick into the head of the creature, and hears a horrible screech. But the demon doesnt go down and relaizes that the arrow is made of medal and he only has medal. HE then hears SForce scream*
"JC get out, run back to the fortress, don't protest just go!" SForce shouted to his friend "Shadow, Phantom, we have to hold them off and retreat back to our stronghold, we will not survive the hour if we stay here. Retreat! Save the dwarf, knock em' back from his tail!"
*JC puts his shield on hos back and runs towards the light. HE notices the creatures are following and he knows if he gets to the light he is fine.*
*He sees the light and gives everything he has and reaches the light. The creatures stand in the darkness realizing that the dwarf has out ran them.*
"The Gods have saved me. I could not have outran them without the Faith" JC says.
*He waits there for the rest of them coming through the trees*

*Shadow nodded, recognizing the group's predicament, and turned toward the nearest wraith that was even now advancing upon JC. With a quick flash of his arm, he had slashed out low, taking the thing's feet off at the ankles. It toppled forward, still intent upon its prey, and began to drag itself toward JC.
Shadow was stop it in the instant it reached out to grasp the dwarf's leg, slicing the head free from its shoulders, and heaving it skyward, hoping the moonlight would destroy the head, and, thus, the body.*

*Phantom jumps out of his tree landing right behind one of the creatures, draws his 2 blades, and begins to weave his swords in a pattern, slicing through the creature with each strike, and with he final stike he decapitated the creature. He then follows Shadow's lead and throws the head into the moon light, and sends to body under the ground. Seeing the other creatures following where JC had run to he starts to run after them, realizing that metal wouldn't kill them, but magic fire would and calls to SForce to burn them with magic*
