9th Granite Continued
With Wok limping along beside them and some fine rum in their bellies Sir Nil and the other Warriors returned to the south part of the territory to free it from the Undead invaders.
The enemy hammermen fell upon the Warriors almost as soon as they entered the field, sending Bob and Vabok flying as Hawkfrost seperated a wrestler's lower body from his upper body.
Speardwarf was piercing the skull of his second opponent when a hammer smashed against his helm, sending him to the ground. Before the hammerman could finish the job Sir Nil brought his own jeweled hammer down, reducing the skull and most of the bones to dust.
The pain of his injuries forgotten, Wok's swords were moving with incredible speed, hacking apart limbs and bodies almost before they knew what was happening.
Seeing that this fight was all but won Sir Nil ordered Hawkfrost and Bob to remain with Speardwarf and took off to the northeast, intent on taking revenge on the Undead for the loss of Iton.
******************
Not bothering to hide his presence Sir Nil leapt out of the brush, crushing a wrestler under his iron boots. Lashing out with his hammer he catapulted Undead warriors into trees and each other, completely destroying any small chance they may have had at killing him.
When the rest of the Warriors arrived they found Nil wiping bone dust off his hammer while sitting on a pile of broken bones. Standing the Deputy turned to look at the western cliffs where the white of skeletons was clearly visible against the dark colors of the landscape.
**************
After devising a plan of attack the Warriors had started along the edge of the chasm that cut through Thunderclan territory. Having taken care of the beasts that such a place attracted years ago there was no explanation for the unearthly cries that echoed up from the darkness.
**************
Bob was grinning as he climbed. He knew his plan would work and would lead to the deaths of every enemy that remained on the field.
As he reached the top of a cliff overlooking the chasm he could see the Undead across the way as well as the glint of sunshine off the armor of the Warriors further down.
Drawing his mace Bob took a breath and started shouting insults across the chasm at the skeletons. As he'd planned they turned to look at him and drew weapons.
What he hadn't planned on was the skeleton in the fancy armor...with a crossbow. And judging by the bolt she sent his way she didn't like his insults very much.
Bob dodged the first bolt only to step into the path of a second which shot right through the eyehole of his helm and into his eye. The crossbowman looked away for a moment as her wrestler guards were attacked by the Warriors.
Her gaze returned to the Dwarf across the way though and she snapped a fresh bolt into her weapon before taking aim...
Bob was only briefly aware of group of bolts hitting him as he fell into uncounciousness...
As Hawkfrost saw Bob collapse she felt a familiar rage rising in her. Charging across the rocky ground she knocked the surprised crossbowman to the ground. The furious Warrior then proceeded to tear the skeletons limbs off before ripping her head off and throwing it into the chasm...
*************
Bob was carried back to the fortress by Speardwarf and Hawkfrost while Wok and Vabok went to collect Iton's body. The young maceman was hardly recognizable after being shot so many times. As Bob was rushed to Mothwing's chambers Sir Nil went to report to Fireheart.
*************
Mothwing left her office and walked over to where the Warriors were waiting.
"I'm sorry." She said. "He was too badly injured and lost too much blood. All I could do was ease his journey." What hope there had been evaporated as the Warriors heard the fate of their young friend...

Sorry Haika...I would have tried that again but it just seemed too good storywise. Feel free to request another Dwarf.
Hawkfrost I don't know whats more dangerous...you with an axe or you with your bare hands. You didn't kill alot with your hands but the couple you did were brutal.
