Aftermath

As everyone was excitedly congratulating each other there was a sudden and loud bang that shook the walls of the fortress.

And old man, slightly hunched over stood in the center of the room. Several players immediately pulled out their weapons and aimed them at him. With a wave of his hand those players slumped to the ground unconscious.

"Well done my lad." Raze said while clapping Lucan on the shoulder.

"Damn it." Lucan cursed. "Do you always have to pop out when I blink and scare the crap out of me?"

"Ha, ha, ha, it's one of the perks of being the boss."

When Sturdy and Shifty saw the man wasn't a threat they went back to celebrating and checking on their unconscious friends.

"Since you managed to capture a fortress, I will keep my word and provide you with guards. They will be loyal to you and only follow your orders. Well unless I tell them not too."

A large portal opened behind him as shadow elves began to stream into the fortress and disperse.
