Eragon, Where Dragons dare

[doliest]

Lord Soth
"Come and die, mortals! Come and die, a monument to my eternal loss!" Lord Soth screams, as he starts slaying the soldiers who stand against him, and raises up a massive wall of fire at the gate leading out of the fort, ensuring that nothing can leave, short of jumping off the walls of the fort.
Bilbo
"Ah, a strong defensive position! That makes it seem much better. How did you lose so many people; did the empire come after you, or the rebellion? Or both?" Bilbo looks around and says, "So, how can I help out? Do we want to end this war, or simply ensure that civilians don't suffer from the king's war with the rebellion."
