Wait...hold on...say, stop already...Whoa I say! Wow! My heart is still pounding after reading this chapter. You really know how to create excitement. I was totally enthralled the whole way through and there were a number of scenes where I could actually picture this happening like the scenes from FOTR. Incredible writing. Daevan has grown up in a hurry, Strider is as valiant as ever, and the orcs...well, what can I say? Their sheer lack of 'organizational skills' coupled with consummate badness just make them the villains we love to hate! Hmmmm. Nasty promise Gurim makes here -- Strider and Daeven better be careful or they'll end up as orc stew! Ew...that just sounded wrong. Oh well...BTW, I've been watching the original Sharpe series. Bean does look quite yummy I must say and the show (other than some incredibly cheesy music on occasion) is very well done. Sorry for the horribly long delay in reviewing. RL, you know...I have a feeling your story will be drawing to a close soon, but if that's so, it must give you a good feeling to be leaving on such a high note. Excellent writing 'Timmy'. It's been a joy to share the fandom with you. See you at the next chapter.

Author Reply: Hi Viggomaniac,

yes, RL becomes a burden some times *g*. Same here. Thanks for your knds words anyway. Hope your heart stood the challenge and has calmed down now. Daevan truly had no chance to stay the innocent lad from the marshes, had he? Not in this universe, so to say. Glad I could entertain you and yes, the story's ending is drawing closer. I am always amazed at how long it takes from writing to complete posting. Gee!
Bean as 'Sharpe' is best you can get. There are some other movies I'd recommend. If you find the time we can chat that on a PM base. What do you think?

Alright, they reached the gate, I do hope they get way past it. Glad to see that Strider is still on his feet, Poor Daevan is in need of some bandages, as are the rest of the party. Remember Daevan you must not use the axe.
Ups man has caught sight of a large group of orcs, is heading after them, still hoping to get his clipboard signed. Has a few choice words to say to his boss.

Author Reply: Wasn't there someone around with bandages and a large, large first aid kit? That man should head to the small fighting group before the men and Dwarves collapse on the steps.
UPS man is of encouraging persistence. Someone, who really knows what *dedication to the job* means. I recommend him for a promotion. If he makes it.

Wow! What a chapter! What a story! You truly are a brilliant writer! I shall certainly miss you in the fandom.

Oh, dang, excellent, excellent story. My heart was pounding the whole time! Really quite brilliant.

Author Reply: Hope your heart calmed down in the meantime, and thanks for the praise. Yes, I will miss you all, too, when this story will be done posting. But even great times have to end some day.

Oh my gosh! This has got to be one of the best chase scenes I have read! I am completely exhausted! They have to make it!

One thing for sure, they have to thank their lucky stars for the Orcs' wonderful organizational skills!

Author Reply: LOL! Orcs and organization, ha! You're right, the complete absence of brain power enables the small group to gain another half mile.

Hope you caught your breath in the meantime. :)

Oh!Oh!Oh! They are going thru the gate! But I feel like Im right there with them and we havent gotten to the other side yet! Well I guess I have to wait, gosh it was a great fight ,maybe its time to get out of the amusement park before all the rides break :)

Author Reply: 'Amusement Park' hits the nail on the head. Yeah, the heroes never mind a real rollercoaster ride, do they? As far as I am concernd, I would never even consider entering *that* kind of park. Nightmarish, eek!
