Areldor quickly moved to where Dagger wanted him to be and then waited for the him to give the direction and command. The illusionist took a deep breath and centered his thoughts. “I need to just focus on the task and take them one at a time.” He said to himself. Then he remembered that he did not know how many charges were left in the wand. His mind started to race with all the possibilities then once again he took a breath, and then prayed and spoke it loud enough for any one close to hear him. “Great goddess Minerva please grants us victory over our foes this day.”
Then Dagger yelled ”Unleash the Fury of the Fire Stick!” … while simultaneously motioning with his left hand towards Tohmas to Hold Steady with His Bow!
Areldor look down the length of the wand to the tip which was focused on the Roc that Dagger motioned too. “Faldin’s Fire” the illusionist spoke and once again a fireball came forth and stuck the bird and it rider sending them into the sea. Then he turned his “fire stick” onto the next foe and it was engulfed in the hell fire that came from Areldor wand.
There was a great cheer from the crew after the seconded aerial foe crashed into the sea. Areldor heard them and his confidence started to rise within himself, still there was a nagging thought in the back of his mind about how many fireballs were left.
Areldor watched the last two circle above and waited for them to make there move. He felt the ship moving faster as the crew rowed for the stairs. Then the orcs split up and came from two differnet directions at the same time.
The illusionist was confident and it was rewarded as once again the fire that came forth and brought down the third. Then Areldor turned and faced the final Orc rider, confidently he pointed the wand at the last foe and spoke the words. But this time all that came out was a puff of cloudy smoke emanating from the tip of the 'Fire Wand', followed by a hollow sounding PFFFffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
Arm still out stretched, staring thru the disappering smoke he saw the Orc and great bird still approaching. The hollow sound seemed to go beyond his ears and reach into his stomach making him a little queasey. Then he lowered his arm and as the foe got closer he prayed again to his goddess “Minerva be merciful”, then the expession of the illusionist face changed as a small smile appeared and spoke with some confidence "Tohmas your turn."

Well it looks like I got my answer of "how many charges were left". The goddess is having a little chuckle after that display. Hope Tohmas or anyone can bring down the last one.

After losing it twice and editing it I got it in. Yes it is sappy, but I am the only guy with a girlfriend and I am a hopeless romantic(well sometimes). I will entertain any comments from Dagger about the fire stick. But I do know fire and ships on water are a bad combination.

Subject: Its long and sappy but its in
Areldor was walking Diana back to the temple. The couple was holding hands as they walked down the busy streets, moving in and out of the throngs of people insuring that no one could get between them. She stayed close to him holding tightly his hand. Not as if she was afraid of the humanity that walked the streets for she has lived here for over 25 years and knew the city well. It was the knowing that the evening was passing quickly and tomorrow he would be leaving in the morning.
Areldor knew his way to the temple for the last two weeks he made his way there every day since he arrived back. As he guide Diana, he would run into folks that knew him from the performance he put on each evening at the Toothless Dragon. Any other time he would not mind, it was great to hear folks tell him they liked the act but tonight he was in a hurry. “Thank you, your words are kind hope you comeback when I am in town.” The illusionist would say in a kind manner trying not to offend the person. He saw that some wanted to talk some more but then noticed he was not alone. The response sometimes was “Oh I see you are busy” usual with a smile as they glanced at his companion. His companion was dressed in an emerald gown that fit perfectly in all the right places and accented curves in a modest way, past the brass linked belt that rest easily around her hips, then down stopping above the ankles wear one could see her black boots. If they started at the top they would notice her eyes matched her dress, with her slightly curled chestnut hair that flowed down to just above her shoulders that framed her face. It was in her face you could see that part of her heritage was elf, having that youthful beauty that all elven women had.
The couple made it to the temple just as the dusk settled in and the lamplighter started their rounds. The temple was still busy with acolytes and workers. Areldor guided his companion to the main alter in front of the mosaic of Minerva. He stared at the image of the goddess, that day two weeks ago was still fresh in his mind. He was change that day, he was kissed by the divine and he wondered what she had in store for him on this next journey. "What are you thinking?" a lovely voice spoke with a quick squeeze of his right hand. Areldor smiled but did not even look over, “I was remembering the first day here and how tomorrow I will be on another journey. I just wanted to thank the goddess again for all she has done for me and that I will return back here and to you." He turned and faced Diana, took her other hand then looked into her emerald eyes. “The goddess has been gracious to me Diana, and I wanted to finish what she started here two weeks ago in my life and I hope in yours." He reached into one of his hidden pockets in his tunic and pulled out a small silver ring on a chain and kept from her site.
It was a very plain silver ring with some carvings in high elven and the chain was silver and not very fancy either. This was all he could afford. The money that he had earned working at the Toothless Dragon first bought rations for the trip he committed to go on for his goddess and employer. Then the rest of the money went to a silver smith to pay for them both. Areldor just pick it up that very morning and had been waiting all day to give it to her. The illusionist had started to fall in love with the assistant librarian the fourth day at the temple. While working on information to help Jaufre with his sister’s illness, looking up new spells, trying to learn about the lands to the west, Diana was a constant companion. The head librarian was more than happy to assign the women to help assist “The Hero of Minerva”. The other maidens could not compete with Diana due to the amount of time she spent with him and at first she was kind cold toward him.
Diana was there in the group of maidens on that day but all were dressed in ceremonial robes and looked alike. After his introduction all the maidens went to see this new hero for the goddess herself appeared and this was a rare event, even more so to a man. Diana like the others went forward to meet this “hero”. After that day’s event there was a lot of talk on who would be picked by this illusionist to be his bride. The handmaiden’s of Minerva in this temple were of different backgrounds, beauty and mostly human. Diana was the only half elf in the group and had been for the last 15 years. She was older than the others not as tall or as “blessed” like the others and thought of herself as average. That is why she enjoyed the library.
There was no competition, books and scrolls do not judge and it was rewarding to help people in finding information. So she felt that this “hero “would not find her of interest. Then Areldor appeared in the library. He spoke to the head librarian and of course she assigned her best assistant to him and that was her. At first she tried to be indifferent to him , not that he was unattractive for she thought he was quiet handsome but that with all the talk between the maidens vying for his attention she thought that there was not a chance. “He’s probably arrogant or something. “She said to herself at first, But in the following days as she worked with him for 6 to 7 hours and that provided time for interaction and she warmed up to him. During breaks he would talk to her and asked about her life and she his and discovering that they had a similar experience being half of each race and how it affected them. But instead of a family member taking her in like Areldor uncle, she was brought here at 10. All this time together a bond of love grew between them.
Areldor had made his decision 6 days ago that Diana was the one he wanted as a wife. He spoke to Tabitha the high priestess about what he was going to do and asked for the goddess blessing and hers. She was happy about his choice, but told him that it was for Diana to decide. So the stage was set and Diana was allowed out of the temple and he took her to the Toothless Dragon to see his performance. It was a promise made and kept by the illusionist.
Standing there in front of the alter Areldor turned to his love and spoke” I ..know we have only known each other for a short time,” he took both of her hands and took a breath. His heart was beating so hard that he thought it would jump out and have to catch it. He glanced around as people walked by. He took his gaze off her face and was looking at the ground wondering if the stone floor would give hints at what to say. He spoke to himself “Why is this so hard. I have seen others do this at the tavern back home. I t looked easy.” As to sense the illusionists dilemma Diana took her left and placed her index finger his lips. It shocked him for a moment, then she spoke in a soft confident voice “Come with me” and with a smile she led him to the library.
It was empty. Diana was not surprised for she knew that most of the workers and patrons would be off to their homes or wherever. She knew because it was at these times she would come and be by herself away from everyone, to be alone, to mediate, and to evaluate. It was her special time and her special place. It was here that Diana felt the goddess most of all and the purpose she had for her. Diana led Areldor in front of the libraries main desk the place they first met.
The illusionist was not sure what was going to happen as Diana turned again to face him and grasped his hands again. She spoke again. Her face radiated a warm smile as she did “If you are going to ask me what I believe you are, I wanted it to be here in the place where I found purpose, meaning and happiness.” When she finished, a sparkle shown on her cheek as a tear ran down her face. Areldor took his right hand and gently touched her face and wiped away the tear. He then turned her face up so that their eyes met. He looked deep into the emerald jewels and felt a great calming of his soul come over him. It was similar to what he felt the day he was kissed by the divine. As he held her face the words came with little effort.
In the high priestess office, Tabitha explained all the requirements and that Diana and Areldor could not be married until he fulfilled the mission for the goddess. That was still hard to hear from her but the young couple expected it and believed in their hearts that the love they shared was strong enough and blessed by Minerva. Areldor finally gave the silver ring to his bride. “Here is a token of my love and my promise to you.” He said as he put it around her neck. Then Diana looked over at the high priestess and she pulled out of the drawer of her desk leather necklace with a medallion on it.
The medallion of finely handcrafted gold a little larger than a gold coin which had the elven letter “C” inlayed in it with silver. The illusionist was a little puzzled as he looked at the medallion. Diana spoke as she put it over his head. “I have told you that I was brought here by my family when I was 10 and I have only a few things that I own.” She paused as to be reflecting upon the very day she came to the temple and her feeling in her voice reflected it, she continued “This medallion is what I was wearing that day I came and it was a gift from my mother. It holds a good secret that I will tell you upon your return. So as a token of my love I give this to you.” As she finished the young illusionist looked into her lovely face and saw again a tear come down her cheek. Areldor could feel the pain and his heart broke for her; and all he could do was to take her into his arms and he too shed some tears.
“That seems long ago.” the illusionist said to himself as he came out of his mediation. Once again he found himself with his left hand over the medallion which was still tucked inside his undershirt. It was a little after dawn on the 20 Aprero, Areldor was up early to pray and make sure that his spells were ready for the day. Dagger and Capt. Crayfish told the seekers that on the morrow we would be at Orgstall and that we should be ready.
Areldor was very was thankful that Mad Dog had given each of the Seekers a Ring of Sustains, for the first days on the open sea with the storms had made life on board miserable and the fresh ginger helped at first but ran out just as the rings power was being felt. As the morning lite started to fill the new day he could see that ring on his right hand and to the opposite on his left was the one that the goddess gave him. A small smile spread across his face when glanced at it remembering. As the gathered his gear he made sure and checked that he still had all of his items packed and ready. As the morning light grew Dagger called all to look to the horizon. Areldor grabbed his side bag that contended his two wands and spell book and Minerva’s horse and went toward the edge of the ship so he could see what the he saw.
At first Areldor could not see much, but by now he knew that the dwarf had a greater vision than being he had met. But what he could not see he could hear as before near shore line days back, the sound clashing metal. Then as the ship got closer Dagger pointed to the sky and spoke “Orcs on Roc’s”
The illusionist looked in the direction and could see the 4 black dots come towards the ship. “I know and have seen orcs but never a roc.” Areldor said out loud and continued “they must be huge to carry the orcs”
Amur started to move away from the edge of the ship wanting to get to the crossbows in the ship’s hull and Tohmas spoke to Dagger about getting closer to the sea wall. Areldor quickly thought about his spells and then decided to use the “Fire Stick”. He reached into his side bag and pulled it out. He looked at Dagger and asked after he answered Tohmas, “Will this work on them?”

the roc's got rocks. Tohmas oath bow will do the work I think. I depends on how many he can take out in one pass to discourage the others. So maybe I will not need the fire stick. I will have mine up soon. Rewrites and RL have made it a challange.
