One of the sentinels rolls her eyes, and another shakes her head. "Men."

(You should know you're in a really bad situation here. They've got traps, hidden sentry towers, and ambushes set up all over this forest. Furthermore, they know the territory, and you do not. Not only that but the very wildlife fights with them. On a soldier to soldier basis their troops are better than yours, and guerilla tactics would take you to pieces.)

Several of the soldiers around Image collapsed, red-feathered arrows sticking from their necks. The Sentinels leapt into combat with Umayr. And while his guard fought well, and injured several Sentinels, they were outnumbered and out-skilled. Soon only Umayr himself kept fighting, and he actually managed to kill one of the Sentinels and the wildcat upon which she rode, when suddenly, five figures in crimson armor stepped placidly out of the brush. The other Sentinels immediately moved away, clearing a path for these newcomers. They wielded twin Elven swords that glowed with a light of their own. They spoke not a word, but immediately engaged in combat. They moved with lightning speed, flowing under Umayr's blows like water. Umayr was able to hold for several minutes before they subdued and restrained him.

Elsewhere in the forest, Umayr's army wasn't faring much better. Every step they made through this unfamiliar territory brought a new pack of bears, a new spike trap that claimed two of their men, a new arrow flying into someone's neck, or a new group of wildcat riding Elven huntresses that leap out of a bush to attack you, only to vanish into the bushes again, with no hope of pursuit. Malak scanned the forest floor, searching for sign  of further traps, when he heard a whistling noise. He looked up in time to see a blunt, rounded arrow flying right at his head. Then, the world went black. As that happened, easily the largest group of sentinels yet seen, something like 100, charged their flanks. They appeared a horizontal line through, and one snatched up Malak and rode off with him.

When both of the commanders woke up, it was in a rather comfortable prison cell in an unknown location. In the nearby cells there were two other human men, and several Orcs. A door opened, and a stunning Elven maiden walked through. She ha  a green cloak, an ornate bow, and a silver friendlier set with rubies atop her golden hair. She also had a deadly look in her eye. "So. You are the incompetent fools who attacked without provocation. You should count yourselves lucky I haven't killed you yet. I'm going to need a very good reason why I shouldn't execute you for unprovoked aggression and the senseless murder of my maidens."
