Chapter 26 – The Trap

“See,” said Nickelo in Richard’s shared space. “I told you that you could make them understand if you tried hard enough.”

“You said I might be able to make them understand, so don’t sound so cocky,” Richard said. “Besides, I wanted the priestess to come with us, not this galoot.”

“The priestess is busy keeping us alive, Wizard Scout. Based upon the Power reserve you picked up from the dark elf with your passive scan, I calculate he is no slouch when it comes to magic. I should probably point out that the dark elf seems familiar for some reason, but I cannot find information on him in my databanks.”

“Forget the dark elf,” Richard said as he continued pulling at Amir’s line of magic with what little Power he had. “I just hope Amir knows enough magic to take advantage of what we’ve found.”

“You mean what I found,” said Nickelo. “I was the one who used the sensor on your ring to spot the weakness in the stone. You merely confirmed it with your line of Power.”

Richard mentally snorted. “You call what I’m using Power? It’s not enough to do anything useful. I doubt I could make it blow my nose without having to take a deep breath first.”

“You know, Rick, on occasion you’re somewhat of a pessimist. It makes me want to reach out and slap you to your senses. That is, I would slap you if I had hands. I calculate you think you have to do everything yourself. You’re wrong. In this case, you do not need to be the one to take advantage of the weakness to make your Power be useful. You just need to show Amir the weak spot. I told you before that he has a sizeable Power reserve. I calculate he is not a skilled mage or priest like the elves, but there is a seventy-two percent probability he has enough knowledge to make our plan work.”

Richard wasn’t as confident but said nothing and tried to concentrate on the task at hand. While using one part of his mind to guide the big man toward the crack in the cliff wall, he kept the rest of his senses on the battle around him. He saw the priestess release her spell before the dark elf got his off. The dark elf was forced to convert his spell’s energy into a defensive shield. The shield turned aside Mia’s spell enough to protect the dark elf and his shamans. A score of orcs at the outer edges of the defensive shield didn’t fare so well. Dismembered arms and legs went flying through the air as Mia’s spell exploded with a violence that shook the entire canyon. As the noise of the explosion died away, it was replaced by the screams of orc and goblin wounded.

Tracer and the rest of her team added to the bedlam by sending volley after volley of arrows at the now charging orcs and goblins. They dropped like out-of-shape hounds at the end of a long hunt before the foursome’s arrows.
