A brief summary of the events that took place at the battle of Dol Goldur. See editors notes at the bottom.
As the fellowship moved into Dol-Guldur through the secret passage known only by Skalithor and Hawkinz, they could hear the fierce war raging outside the gates by the members of the Black Sun legion and Keltrion’s elves as they fought with the orcs of BloodFallen.
As the fellowship moved inwards towards the fortress, they were met with much resistance! All vile creatures of Morgoth had heeded BloodFallen’s call and swarmed the heroes! Skalithor’s kinship cut through the onslaught and with much of the orcs attention being drawn to Epollyon’s forces outside the gate the kinship were able to fight off BloodFallen’s inner forces, And finally entered Barad Guldur The Old fortress of Sauron, the old dark Lord of the Rings!
However, the inside of the fortress was no less well-guarded than the outside! And there would be no sneaking around through any passage this time, The kinship would have to fight their way to the top!
Suddenly without warning a great roar shakes the halls throughout the fortress! "Nooooooo!!" A female's voice is mixed in with the roar, a surge of powerful magical energy pulses like a wave through the fortress, then silence.
Skalithor commands his Kinship to move swiftly because time was not on their side! Slicing and cutting through the orcs that stood in their way they reached the summit of the tower.
Before them was a site unseen by men or elves! The captain stood drawing powerful red energy from BloodFallen, a dark powerful shield that seemed to surround them both. The captain's Dark helmeted face turns to look upon the heroes, his glowing blue eyes stare daggers into Skalithor.
"So you have come at last.." The Captain said
The Captain struggled to keep hold of the dragon's mind!
"I see you've been talking to Prince Galigar.. But it doesn't matter, I am already the Captain of men! And unfortunately I cannot play with you at the moment.. But do keep yourself entertained while I tend to business." The captain said. Then turned his full attention back to BloodFallen. Suddenly a shriek from the air was heard overhead, a great winged beast landed with fierce ferocity surrounded in shadow! A top this beast stood a cloak of darkness! Bearing the ring of shadows Sethos had been reborn!'
The battle was not easy by any means of mortal Men, Tarvhos especially struggled fighting The Ghost of his ancestor!
Skalithor can see that the ghostof Sethos' eye is trained on Tarvhos. "Tarvhos!" He shouts. "The shield!"'
'"Hawkinz! Dismount the rider!"'
The ghostly aura shield seem to pulse with blue light as it surrounded the captain and blood fallen
Skalithor brings his shield to bear against the ghostly aura!
Hawkinz does as ordered with inhuman swiftness.
Tarvhos would make his way to the shield - Sethos would certainly attack, and he could weaken the shield from the subsequent blow.
A great powerful surge of energy comes as the shield comes into contact with the shield!
The Captain struggles to keep hold of both blood fallen and Skalithors advances!
"So blood of my blood we finally meet at last!" Sethos voice is harsh and echoing as if sounding from the dark void itself.
Tarvhos does not remove his eyes from Sethos, "Rejoin our forefathers and begone from this plane. You have no more business here!" he exclaims, and no sooner has he done that, does the dragon attack - he rolls and scarcely avoids her maw, slipping under her jaw while pinned near the ground.
The maw of the beast barely misses him and strikes the ghostly aura of the Captain shield!
Again The Captain struggles to keep hold of both BloodFallen and the shield.
"My time on this mortal plane is not through yet boy!" Sethos stretches forth his hand and a dark shadow lunges forth seeking to grasp any in its way around the neck!
Hawkinz quickly drew an arrow from his quiver as the dark shadow lunged. "O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!" He cries. His arrow blazed with light at the very moment, and he loosed it at Sethos' terrible eye!
Tarvhos meanwhile, has come up on the beast from behind! It's occupied with Hawkinz, and Tarvhos has mounted the saddle in Sethos' place! He gives the man a firm shove from behind!
The captain's hold scenes on the edge of breaking, as BloodFallens dragon form seems to melt away and in her place is a woman with blood red hair covered in red and gold robes!
Skalithor commands his forces "Do not relent!!"
Sethos clutches his right eye but catches the movement of Tarvhos and he swings his great sword down at his descendant!
Meanwhile the beast lurches forward like a snake attempting to cleave Hawkins in half with its sharp Maw! It is too slow however and it lights up like a dried reed! The magic of the elves flowing through Hawkins and his arrows Lothlorin of old Even across the river from mirkwood seems to draw a new strength to the elf!

The magic of the elves flowing through Hawkins and his arrows Lothlorin of old Even across the river from mirkwood seems to draw a new strength to the elf!
With one last Strike from the elden shield maiden and the dwarf general the ghostly aura explodes and vanishes!
The human form of blood fallen falls to the stone floor, and the captain staggers as red lightning courses through his armor
Skalithor moves to engage the Captain.
The winged beast flails and kicks as it is lit on fire! Sethos is thrown from his saddle meanwhile the creature flaps attempting to become airborne to shake off the flames!
Sethos rises, his shadowy figure stands slowly the shadows seeming to grow with his anger.
Tarvhos might have been brought to an end just then by the sword; when the beast knocked he and Sethos to the ground. Tarvhos rolled several feet away and is coming to a stand.
Sethos once again stretches forth his arm using The Ring of Shadow Or Dae`tura a shadow lurches fourth seeking to grab Tarvhos by the neck!
The captain finally turns his attention to Skalithor and Lallinviorn!
Hawkinz fires another arrow at Sethos' left eye!
Tarvhos sees the shadow approaching and is helpless to stop it, his arrows are gone and he only wields a dagger.
The captain looks to the two, His bright blue glowing eyes shine bright, has red electricity courses through his black armor, He withdraws his great Morgul blade! "Come forth little guardians!"
Skalithor says, '"Lallinvorn, remember, the Captain cannot fall by our hand."'
The Shadow seizes Tarvhosaround the neck and he is brought close to Sethos! "We need not be foes boy.. come join me in our familes shadow!"
Lallinvorn Unsure of what to do, nods to Skalithor
Hawkinz again sends an arrow tipped with light at Sethos' remaining eye!
Sethos looks to Hawkins and the winged beast swoops down. Sethos' powerful will has his winged beast to take the arrow for him!
Skalithor rushes to engage the Captain!
Lallinvorn ---The Captain returns the advance and the might of the Dead and the power of a dragon come down to bear on the two guardians!
Tarvhos continues to struggle against the shadows around his neck, "I will - never-"
Hawkinz --- The arrow of light explodes once again, sending sparks everywhere.
The winged beast shrieks in pain, flailing this way and that finally collapsing and dying on the stone pad atop Dol-Guldur.
Hawkinz seems to fly over the beasts' body at the same instant the arrow strikes, his bow fitted with another arrow of light whilst in the air, and fired down at Sethos!
Skalithor is cast to the ground under the might of Captain! Like a heavy sack of fishmail, he rolls and returns to his feet.
Skalithor says, 'You cannot prevail, Captain. I am a soldier to the General of Life, and I shall not stand idle by. Give up your sword or have it taken from you!'
The captain faces Skalithor "You little fool! You seek to stop something that has already come to pass! Who do you think assembled the Black Sun legion? They are under my command And you are surrounded by enemies.. and my spell is almost complete I need only play with you a little longer..
Lallinvorn is taken aback by this revelation but moves quickly to strike at the captain, He quickly blocks her and bats her awa
Skalithor says, 'Man was given his agency long ago, you control nothing! Your power is persuasion alone.'
Skalithor rushes to engage the Captain once more!
Sethos's shadow tightens its grip around Tarvhos's neck, "Then You shall die a stranger to me!"
Just then Hawkinzs arrow flys at him and Sethos moves Tarvhos to be a sheild for him!!
Tarvhos is helpless to prevent it - scarcely conscious from hold on his neck, he closes his eyes and awaits the blow.
The arrow passes harmlessly THROUGH Tarvhos, striking Sethos!
What's Sethos failed to realize however is that this was an arrow Galadhrim almost as a fate commanded it it might have been the breeze of the wind or Galadriel her self pushed it to the side, And it flew just in between Sethos moving Tarvhos and Seth those himself!!
-Sethos seems to lurch in pain! But he's not dead! The light searing anything that may be under the dark robe! However the shadow releases Tarvhos!
Tarvhos drops from the shadow and coughs, but takes no time standing and walking towards Sethos. "Your curse ends HERE!" he draws up a dagger to meet Sethos' heart!
Sethos weakened by the light arrow reaches up in vain to stop Tarvhos! Tarvhos's dagger meets Sethos's heart!
As soon as the dagger punctures the dark robes a shrill cry sounds out and a shockwave comes from the hooded figure, Tarvhos and anyone close to him are knocked off their feet and blown back. And the dark robes fall with nothing but ash in them blown away into the wind. The Ring of Shadow Or Dae`tura also falls to the stone floor!
And thus ended the return of Sethos...
The Captain turns to see Sethos defeated. "Unfortunate.. but not unforeseen." He says his voice is calm cool but full of malice!
The Captain begins to chant something in black speech. "Daggog alnej now, avhe avhree nalkriuk ukhall be conjured! one darkneukuk avo enuklave avhem gith.. one darkneukuk avo urzg avhem gith.. one darkneukuk avo juliave avhem gith.. agh avoo mausan chouken ukouluk doturog avhem..!"
Hawkinz struggles to his feet after having been knocked over by the shockwave. He reaches for an arrow, but changes course and covers his ears instead at the Black Speech, seemingly pained by it
Lallinvorn also seems pained by it.
Tarvhos recovers himself and moves to join the General in the fight against the captain! He notices the elven comrades are frozen..
Skalithor almost loses his footing, but persists in every attempt to rid the Captain of his sword or his hands, whichever comes first.
With the might of the dragon the captain seems unmovable as stone. But who better to move stone than a dwarf! The captain with much hesitation is moved from his stance and falls to the side "Noooo! What have you done!!?" The power seems to shake both of their forms!
A red and blue aura seems to shift between the dwarf general and the captain of the Dead!
The captain in vain strikes at his helmet as if in pain! Then with a loud roar a bright purple light streaks forth from the armor and flies into the sky! And the dark suit of armor falls with a Dark whisper "Hahahaha.. We shall meet again little Dwarf!"
And all is quiet and peaceful.. until suddenly the tower begins to shake violently and you hear the cracking of stone the towers about to collapse!
The fellowship narrowly escapes the crashing rubble...
Editors Notes: This a crude copy of the text as narrated by Koh, with the additional narrations of Mae, Adriana and Cat. These are the events as happened from their perspectives only and are excluding many players. The purpose of this summary is so that the roleplay can move past the battle at Dol Goldur. The events are subject to having additional details and perhaps at another time, being played out in full with all players are available. In the meantime, this summary will suffice to push beyond Dol Goldur and allow characters to both advance in the story line, as the arc is sufficiently concluded by the summary above.
