The Dogs of War

Sir Bruno Le Noir (human paladin 8) led the cheers of the 40 warriors who had just been addressed by Sir Gundr Bronnson, the wizard who had set this unit of warriors apart in defense of the citadel. He had given them, these forty, a name, and had just acknowledged and promoted the captain that the forty men had voted and decided on for themselves.  The Dogs of War they would now be called, a group of Knights that volunteered and were chosen by Sir Gundr to bear his mythic enchantments and stand against the Horde of Chaos. He had turned them into Giants,all of them. His protections were such that neither hellfire nor abyssal lightning strikes could singe them, and once they realized that, The Dogs rained steel upon the Horde from 25 feet high in the sky. For the first time in their lives the holy fury they held in their hearts was matched by their physical ability to wreak destruction upon the unholy. And they reveled in that destruction.

Sir Bruno took his appointment seriously, and with great pride. In fact, he had added to his morning rituals a new prayer to Desna to protect him from the downfalls of Pride. But he loved the way "captain" punctuated his men's statements. But right now he was worried. It felt like he could hear a silent call. A silent call for help.  And They were all gone away.
