Tirus was alone in the castle when the assault came. The D'Sari and the 9th circle decided to take advantage of the mass deployment of the Knights of the Ahrmy, and sack Castle Ahriman. The warning sounded. Tirus awoke with a start. Whar to do ? He must stop them. The wizard raced into the maze protecting the entrance. Soon he found the enemies. Their strength proved too much for the hobbit, though. Before he knew what was happening,he awoke, beaten and bloody. He didnt waste a second grabbing arms from the stores. Hastily returning, he used a spell older than the elves, exerting his influence over Shamra. He tricked the D'Sari warrior into giving his treasures. But only a few trinket. The mentalist broke control sooner than expected. The vengeful Knight of Ahriman wanst done, however. He sought out and eliminated Azuv, seeing to it that the satanist defeated Ozmar first. Such weak creatures would always turn on each other. In a near blood lust, Tirus searched for Shamra again, intending only death for him this time. Shamra and Rauve both managed to escape. But escape the must. All ideas of an invasion left their minds as they fled for their lives. Next time there will be more that one of Ahriman's waiting. How will the cope?
