#bruza

If they made the river, they'd be free.

Bruza wasn't gonna let that happen.

People talk of orcs "lumbering". They've never seen one going flat out.

Bruza was closing the gap on the thieves, despite their headstart. But it was too wide and he arrived to see the men emerging out of the water on the far bank.

Out of Orcturf.

"Haha! Too slow, orc!" One taunted.

They waved their prize, the gold arm rings.

"Yeah, and you can't enter Elflord lands, greenskin!"

Bruza's javelin passed clean through the man's chest.

The amber glow grew brighter in the tunnels. Hundreds of shadows showed in the torchlight.

The kobolds chants built to a crescendo.

"Could be a song of welcome and greeting?" Ondi suggested.

"When are we ever that lucky?" Bruza grumbled, hefting his mace.

Persuasion (22/12)

"You'll never find them." "I think you doubt my friend's powers of persuasion." The Duchess said. "The halfling?" The acolyte smirked at Ondi. "My other friend. Oh, Bruza?" The door opened, the orc had to duck to enter. "Let's 'ave a little chat, is it?" Bruza grinned.

Cave (23/12)

"The signal's coming from that cave." Drew's sensors were picking it up but couldn't ID it. Odd that it wasn't in the Tezon databases. "Stay here. I'll check it out." He told the norms. What he found amazed him, a skeleton in an antique spacesuit. "What the hell's NASA?"

Between (24/12)

Yesterday they'd met between the lines, shared cigarettes, sang, played football. But Christmas was over, it was back to normal, Tommy's gun felt heavier. They'd been a distant, faceless enemy before. But now he knew the Germans were just like them. Young, cold, scared.

Child (25/12)

"We all have to do things we don't like, Ondi." Bruza said as soothingly as an orc can. "Yeah, stop acting like a petulant child." The Duchess chided. "Mi-mi-mi-mi." Ondi mocked. "Think you've just lost this one, mate." Bruza said. "Just put on the Christmas hat like me"

Wren (26/12)

Skam ducked the crow's attack. Coming up, sword drawn, he waved the scroll in his other paw. "I'm a messenger. From Rodentia!" The crow sighed. "Fine, rat, come along." The king was a surprise. "Expected an eagle, right? Or an owl?" The wren said. "Sorry to disappoint"

Harp (27/12)

The Seraph turned around, puzzled it saw that its harp was missing. Then came a sound, not the ethereal tones of Heaven but something harder, with more edge and a sense of grimy danger. "We are Motorhead," a voice growled. "And we play rock and roll."

Sit (28/12)

Closed (15/12)

Ikisk was lucky the dwarves had killed him. Queet woulda made it hurt more for giving away their position. Queet scurried frantically, seeking an exit. He hit a dead end. The dwarves, smiling behind their beards, closed in. But a rat is even more dangerous when cornered.

Bang (16/12)

They ran out of the temple and Bruza slammed the huge metal doors with an echoing bang. "What the hell is that?" Ondi said. "I think it's the curse." "You said, and I quote 'the curse is just bollocks made up to scare looters'!" "I was wrong okay?!"

17th prompt from BraveWrite.

Temple (17/12)

Gugg found death and destruction at the temple. The elves had outlawed worship of Penbwca. The goblins ignored this. Now the elves had declared war. Gugg would show them their error. He cast off his robes. Brother Gugg was gone. Gugg Gorefang had returned.

Still (18/12)

The sea was still, the shore mere metres away. Huddled on the rock, they watched the setting sun. "We can't stay here all night." One said. "If we all go at the same time, it can't catch everyone." They dived in, making frantically for land. Beneath them, she smiled.

Uncertain (19/12)

"You wouldn't dare!" The Duchess sounded uncertain. "There are lotsa guards coming, and I'd rather not have to kill anyone." Bruza growled. "So, you climb the wall, or I throw you over it." She looked at Ondi, the halfling considered the wall. "He could probably do it."

Thunderbolt (20/12)

"Hey love, how about a kiss?" The drunk slurred, pawing at the Duchess, who was readying an acidic retort. There was a cracking sound like a thunderbolt as Bruza hit him across the jaw, sending him crashing against the wall. "Keep yer hands to yerself."

Walk (21/12)

The gold cloaked elven knights dismounted, advancing on the orc.

“You’re Bruza?” Sir Gergen called.

“Aye.”

“Last chance to surrender.”

“You best take it then.” Bruza smiled.

“Elves, let’s show this greenskin brute with a club that he’s no match for elven steel and grace!”

His knights cheered, drawing gleaming blades..

“Hey, Bruza!” A halfling sat watching. “Gonna call this song Green and Gold.”

“Best make it an elegy, runt.” Gergen snapped.

“Kill him last, Bru!”

     *     *     *     *    *

Gergen groaned, his knights lay dead about him, his sword broken.

1st by vssmagic.

Rime (1/12)

Owain pressed on, even as rime formed on his cloak and beard.

The wind stung his face but he trudged on.

Let the hag send blizzards and her minions, Owain Gwylltgi would overcome all.

The flames of his fury kept him warm.

Story (2/12)

She didn't do anything. Offered scant resistance and made no attempt to escape.

A dashing prince or noble knight would rescue her.

And that's why it's important that Princesses learn that life isn't a story and, even if it was, they should always try to be their own hero.

Gold (3/12)

The elfscribes say goblins crave gold.

But the first gobtomes call it wastraff/waste.

Goblins only hoarded gold when they saw the value man and elf put upon it.

More value than they put on goblins.

And so, finally, they had some leverage to improve their lot.

Spirit (4/12)

The armies were destroyed, governments purged and yet these creatures, these "humans" continued to resist the authority of the Sect.

In a way, the Viceroy admired their spirit, their savage defiance was impressive, if futile.

The Sect always won, mankind would be slaves.

Coat (5/12)

Bruza carried the wriggling, drunk halfling away. "You'll thank me when you're sober, Ondi." "No, I wanna stroke him. His coat looks so soft!" Ondi wailed in the orc's arms. Across the clearing the owlbear watched them curiously.

Magic (6/12)

Ondi peered over the book sheepishly as Bruza cursed colourfully and imaginatively. The halfling saw the cause of the orc's anger. "Sorry, magic is tricky." The treasure, which he'd intended to lighten for transport was now floating at the cave's roof, out of reach.

Used vssmagic for the 7th.

Frosty (7/12)
