#35622, "Borkahd's Role Chapter 9"

RoleChapter 9 Lessons in war: First studies Added Sat Jan 3 22:54:02 2009 at level 26:Borkahd recently learned of a war that took place long ago. There was a hoard which was marching on an elven position. War drums were echoing through the air, a grisly call to war and a harbinger of certain bloodshed. The hoard included orcs, shaman, magi, and ogres. Their numbers were many, as far as the eye could see.
A small group of elves, perhaps thirty, were sent out to scout. A usual patrol for them. They heard the drums and spotted the troops. Their hearts filled with fear of what was to come. They were the first line of defense against the approaching hoard and if their allies at home were not alerted to the coming invasion it meant certain death. They had to hold off the invaders long enough to get word back about their approach. One of the elves moved swiftly home to call the others to arms, the rest remained led by an elven woman to hinder their progress.
The battle was bloody and the elves fought well but the hoard was just too much. Despite the elven woman slaughtering many of the invaders, she found herself standing with only one other ally. They both soon fell on the blood-covered battleground. The story became a bit hazy after that but some significant event seemed to have occurred. However, it would seem they held them off long enough for word to get back to mobilize their own armies.
Borkahd enjoyed the story, bloodshed always seems to lighten his day. Especially when cute little elves are slaughtered and to toss some dead orcs into the story truly did keep his attention. He learned a few things from this, the first was to never underestimate a foe. The elven woman managed to destroy many of the approaching hoard before her own death. Even one that can appear so frail and weak may hold boundless strength and courage. However, despite the elven thoughts on self sacrifice, he feels it was a stupid choice. He believes they should have sent the weakest on a chase, flanking the orcs to draw their attention and delay them while the others returned to their home, warning the other soldiers. The weak are nothing but worthless fodder anyway. The strongest of the elves could have made the difference in the war to come instead of simply throwing away her life.
Do not underestimate your foes and self-sacrifice is usually a poor choice. Weigh all options before making a choice in war and do not allow your judgement to get clouded by notions of what is the good or moral thing to do. There is no glory in a pointless death, especially when there are those weaker that can be sacrificed.
