Dungeon- Ruins of Der'asla
Outer Reaches
The Dungeon entrance was set in some old ruins, not part of the old Vampire Empire. It might have been a Wood-Elf outpost at one time, but now it was just ruins unclaimed by anyone. The Dungeon itself was more of the same, an ancient city was broken by time, war, or both. Either way, it didn't matter now, Jacob and his War Party were here to clear it out.

Suddenly the forest exploded ahead of them as Sprites and Wood-Nymphs flooded toward and around them running toward the exit of the dungeon...odd. Jacob looked at his War Party and they just shrugged their shoulders as Chalxae disappeared into Stealth. Jacob looked at June and she nodded as she and her Spider took off after the Assassin.

Name: Vineelm the Oakheart (Unique)
Level: 44 (Elite)
Health: 127,345/140,000
Abilities: Unknown
The Treant and half a dozen Sentinels were fighting against a dozen Rogue Sentinals and a pair of Rogue Druids. Jacob looked at the ongoing fight, it was only a matter of time until the Treant was defeated or enslaved by the Rogue Wood-Elves, but who were the Elves fighting with the Treant and would the attack them as well...
"Hammer the Rogue Wood-Elves, leave the Treant and the Sentinels fighting on his side alone for now. Do not engage them, unless they attack you first." Jacob called out as he drew Moonlight and prepared to attack. He would not be able to use War Cry, he had no idea what would happen if he did. Hemorrhage was also out, one of his most powerful abilities, and he could not use it.
Jacob charged the biggest of the Rogue Sentinals and Analyzed him as he closed in with him.
Name: Zolatron Ashwood (Unique)
Level: 44 (Mini-Boss)
Health: 170,887/220,000
Abilities: Unknown
Jacob triggered Piercing Lunge as soon as he was in range causing the Rogue Elf to scream in pain. Jacob ripped Moonlight out too the side causing a massive open wound as he turned and engaged another Rogue Wood Elf that received a Shield Bash crushing his nose. Before either of the Rogue Druids could attack, Thelgrum engaged them with his group.
Chalxae materialized behind the Stunned Wood-Elf and went to work immediately cutting up his back as Jacob pulled as many of the Rogue Wood Elves as he could and started to lead them further away from the Treant and his small escort. Jacob managed to grab 6 of the Rogue Sentinals, both Druids were currently engaged with Thelgrums group, so overall the Treants group should be fine.
Zolatron was furious and the way he assaulted Jacob, showed that. He fought mad, something every teacher ever taught Jacob, never to do. It left Zolatron vulnerable, and if he had been a regular Wood-Elf, he would have been dead several times over. He wasn't though, so he sported a dozen open wounds leaking blood that Jacob happily absorbed as he did his best to defend himself against six opponents as his part started attacking them.
Reaver Attack sent two of the Rogue Sentinals staggering back as Jacob danced away from another lightning-quick assault from Zolatron. Jacob smiled as he checked the distance, they were far enough away now as he triggered War Cry and Hemorrhage causing the 6 opponents to stagger as their hearts nearly exploded in their chests and buying Jacob sometime to continue his own assault on Zolatron. Triple Slash neatly gutted the Mini-Boss and slowed him enough for Jacob to Analyze one of the Rogue Sentinals.
Name: Rogue Sentinal
Level: 42 (Elite)
Health: 35,342/125,000 (Internal Bleeding, Open Wounds, Burning)
Abilities: Shield Charge, Power Slash, Unknown
Jacob dismissed the information as they continued the assault on the rogue forces. Another Fireball slammed into their ranks, setting fire to them and causing more than one to scream in pain as they burned.
----------------------------------------
To say the Wood-Elves were not happy to be saved, was an understatement but at least they did not attack Jacob party. The Treant stared hard at Jacob the longest before gesturing Jacob to come closer. "You bare the mark of the Eternal Forest and the Blessing of one of my Ancient Kin. They have trusted you and so will I. I have a request for you, deeper within the ruins, one of my brethren has been captured. Free him if possible, if he has already been enslaved, end his existence." Vineelm stated.

Description: The Treant, Vineelm the Oakheart, has tasked you with freeing another Treant from being enslaved or ending his existence if he has already been corrupted.

Rewards: Unknown
Will you Accept? YES/NO
Jacob accepted the quest quickly, "I will do my best to free your brother. I hope I do not have to destroy him, but I will not let this evil continue within these woods. You have my word." Jacob told him as he turned and walked away, his War Party following close behind, June and Chalxae already scouting ahead.
----------------------------------------
A wave of magic and arrows slammed into Jacob and Thelgrum, Thelgrum immediately split off to engage the Sprites while Jacob moved to engage the Rogue Sentinals. Chalxae and June already moving to hunt the Dryads and Druids as Jacob fought the sword-wielding Sentinals as a Firestorm broke over their position. Fire and destruction rained down on the Rogue Sentinals causing them to scream in pain as Jacob continued his assault with Hemorrhage and Reaver Attack, dropping two of them with the combined assault.
Thelgrum had engaged the four Sprite archers and one of the Dryads. Patemal had split her damage between the Sprites and Rogue Sentinals, her wand darting out and casting little bolts of Necrotic energy that caused her targets to grunt or moan in pain.
Suddenly a Firewall exploded within the ranks of the Sentinels causing them to scream and stagger away, but two of them were already on fire. The last two scrambled to get around the flames as their brethren continued to be consumed by the magical flames.
Jacob activated Shield Bash stunning the first one in range before he kicked him back into the Firewall before it died out before turning to face the other Sentinal that launched a furious assault against Jacob. Jacob quickly back peddled before he triggered Battle Stomp stunning all the nearby enemies. The three on fire or within the confines of the Firewall ignored the Stun Effects.
Jacob triggered Power Slash, opening a huge wound on the Rogue Sentinals chest and eliciting a scream from the Wood-Elf as Jacob continued his counter-attack opening multiple wounds on his overwhelmed foe while Shigna and Patemal finished off the Rogue Sentinels that had been burned almost beyond recognition.
Jacob turned from the dying Wood-Elf and surveyed the battlefield, the Sprites and Dryads were dead or dying, and the Rogue Druids were dead. Jacob immediately went to the nearest dead Sentinal to start looting.

Jacob dismissed the Alert and moved onto the next body.

Dungeon- Ruins of Der'asla
Inner Reaches
Jacob, Chalxae, and Thelgrum stared down at the little clearing where Barrenleaf Oakheart was surrounded by 4 Rogue Druids. With them was Dadi the Heartseeker, 4 Rogue Sentinals, and a Mountain Lion. Jacob analyzed the Treant and Dadi the Heartseeker quickly.
Name: Barrenleaf Oakheart (Unique)(Enslavment Process: 75%)
Level: 44 (Elite)
Health: 1,000/140,000
Abilities: Unknown
Name: Dadi the Heartseeker
Level: 45 (Mini-Boss)
Health: 200,000/200,000
Abilities: Piercing Shot, Explosive Shot, Unknown
Jacob studied their layout before looking at Thelgrum, "I will pull the Boss and her escorts, you get over there and down the Rogue Druids. I have no doubt that if they finish the enslavement process, that Treant will turn into another Boss. We will give you an opening to get to them, when it's there, take it!!" Jacob told the burly Dwarf who nodded and moved off with his four partners.
Jacob rejoined the remainder of his group and laid out his plan, Chalxae and Junes Spider disappeared into the nearby trees while June went around the bend while Jacob, Shigna, and Snaggletooth waited for the pull. June came back running within 30 seconds. The four Rogue Sentinals and Mountain Lion following quickly, once they had covered the remainder of the distance with Piercing Lunge followed by War Stomp as he went to work on the new enemies.
Dadi the Heartseeker came around the corner and started firing arrows toward Jacob, that mostly missed or pinged off his shield, but those that hit took 500 health with each shot. Thelgrum led his part of the War Party around the distracted Boss. A Fire Ball slammed into the ranks of the Rogue Sentinals and exploded, two of them caught fire immediately as Jacob shifted his assault to the Mountain Lion as he analyzed it.
Name: 'Fang' Greater Mountain Lion
Level: 43 (Elite)
Health: 174,316/180,000
Abilities: Maul, Swipe, Unknown
Fang tried to jump on Jacob but he intercepted the Mountain Lion rush with his shield and redirected his rush into a Rogue Sentinal that had been trying to flank Jacob. Fang roared in anger as the Rogue Sentinals bones snapped under the unexpected weight causing Jacob to chuckle as he triggered Reaver Attack followed by Power Slash, sending one of the Rogue Sentinals reeling grabbing at his face that had disappeared in a spray of blood.
Suddenly magical explosions coming from the clearing drowned out the melee. Dadi immediately turned to head back but Chalxae and Junes Spider dropped out of Stealth. Blood, fangs, knives, and claws flashed out as they went to work on the Boss. Jacob immediately triggered War Stomp stunning the nearby enemies and closed with the Boss before she could concentrate on Chalxae and the Spider who were dodging and attacking as best as they could.
Jacob triggered Piercing Strike and Summon Fire Elemental who arrived in an explosion of flames and immediately went to work on the Boss. Jacob continued his own assault as the Spider scurried off to play with his next target while Chalxae began to dance among the Rogue Sentinals. Her daggers slashing and stabbing as the Rogue Sentinels charged Jacob in a ragged formation. Jacob gave the Boss a feral smile as he activated Hemorrhage causing the formation to fall apart completely as the Rogue Sentinals tried to keep their blood in their bodies.
----------------------------------------
Thelgrum and his team raced around the small knoll, his team immediately splitting apart. The three casters would be waiting on the far side of the Treant as Rory and he pulled their attention. Thelgrum unlimbered his hammer and shield. the hammer already starting to glow with holy power as Thelgrum triggered his first ability, Smite slammed into the Rogue Druid staggering the Wood-Elf. The hammer blow to the ribs completely disrupted the spell and sent the Druid slamming into the ground.
Thelgrum chuckled as he continued to run, he could hear the distant screams as Rory engaged the other Druids on the far side of the Treant. As soon as his next target came into view Thelgrum activated Righteous Strike. Mana and Holy power flooded his hammer again and the Wood-Elves eyes bulged as the spell slammed into the Rogue Druids face sending blood and teeth everywhere.
As soon as Thelgrum and Rory came into view, Fenwyn and Patemal readied spells as the Rogue Druids were not far behind. Thelgrum made directly for the two Druids chasing Rory to intercept them before the Berserker took to much damage.
Thelgrum activated Smite followed by Consecration, both Rogue Druids immediately lost interest in Rory as Thelgrum engaged them. Rory turned and waited for a five count before attacking again. Fenwyn and Patemal began unleashing their spells as well, adding even more destructive forces against the Rogue Druids.
