Fortress Naamoth

Poca jumped down to move on down below. Poca's little fire would serve as a torch, then she told the Orc her name, and asked his name. They both overheard another rumbling crash, followed by shaking.

“I'm Gulzod, and I don't know this place perfectly, but I escaped the prison a few times before, just didn't leave the castle. I've been imprisoned here for quite a while, and this castle belongs to my ancestor, so I must instinctively know how it is! And you're a pyromancer, your little flame will help us look around. Should be easy. I can't fail this time, now that the elves are preoccupied with fighting whatever beasts are outside. Ha!” the Orc replied.

They walked on, sometimes overhearing crashing and feeling the castle shake. Poca's handheld flame provided enough light to see, and the Orc seemed to find his way, the two sometimes passing a few rats. The aqueducts sometimes had multiple paths, but eventually, the Orc stopped and looked up where some light shone down through a grill.

“This must be the armoury, I bet. I'll need to climb up and open it.” Gulzod remarked, spreading his arms and legs to press them against the walls which were rather close together, and he began climbing upwards.

Eventually, Gulzod stopped, as the sounds of fighting above sounded, followed by shouting and demonic shrieking. Regardless, he jumped up as best he could from where his feet pressed against the walls, and grabbed onto the grill, twisting his body side to side, until he started unscrewing the grill with his body movement. Once the grill was unscrewed, he pushed his hands underneath the sides of it, fingers clasping the flooring, and he lifted himself, using his head to push the grill out of the way. He quickly picked himself up.

Down below, Poca waited patiently, and soon overheard louder shrieking and howling, Gulzod shouting a war cry, and within seconds of clashing and fighting noises, all the noises stopped. A rope then appeared, hanging down the opening, so Poca climbed up it; the Orc had held the rope to let Poca climb.

The armoury was a large room with several windows on one side, and had about a dozen dead things here and there. At one end were large wooden double doors, and at the other end, a stairwell leading up. The armoury also had stored food, water, oil, and supplies in barrels here and there.

Poca realized that the dead things were like the woman in the cell, wearing big robes and having horns and tails, armed with various two-handed swords, axes and maces; this meant that the devilish beings began their assault into the castle. There were also a few dead elven personnel, elves wearing no armour and armed with swords and shields. Against the wall was a large rack full of stored weapons, and along the floor were a series of chests and storage. Poca saw her backpack on the floor.

“Your equipment will be inside one of those chests. I'll walk through the double doors and make sure nothing makes a surprise attack!” Gulzod said, he now wielding a bloody poleaxe, and at his waist a belt with a sheathed arming sword and dagger.

Poca had a bad feeling, as she heard shrieking echoing from the stairwell. She would have to be quick and get ready...

Annie,
The Orc exited the armoury to scout ahead outside; Poca can find her missing belongings.
Poca can also eat and drink from the supplies; she may also find a healing potion somewhere of your choosing.

Poca notices that there are barrels of oil and wine, which are flammable...
Poca notices that one of the dead elves has a horn at his belt; if she takes it and blows it loud and long, it will surely attract the attention of other elves.

If you are crafty and clever, you may be able to arrange the barrels of flammable oil in a position to serve as a useful trap when ignited with pyromancy.
Poca's pyromancy is in the Major tier, just as you first mentioned; although you overspent, since Poca's intro does not conflict with anyone else, I can let it be.

Poca may be able to find an elven helmet. The elven equipment looks like:

(note: since halberds are two-handed weapons, Poca won't be able to wield her bow if she holds a halberd. Poca cannot wear full armour effectively as she's only Light Infantry, but only a helmet will not interfere with her agility.)

Analee – Father's House

Analee said who she was, and once she patted Buruk, he stopped growling, licking her hand once. When she told the Dark Elf's her name and what his name was, he was a little surprised, and at that, he relaxed. The moonlight shone through the clouds and window just as Analee observed, illuminating the two elves.

“No, I don't know where your dad is, Analee. Sorry for throwing that javelin at you, I thought you were one of those things.” Talarin replied after a few seconds. Analee sensed he was thinking about the times when he was a kid, and played with her. He had calmed down, and would no longer be a danger.

“Everyone is gone. I don't know what happened, these weird black shadowy things came and started attacking anything that moved, then... they fell into the shadows, and took whoever they fought with them. I don't know what happened, but I ran away and hid, those things didn't find me, and then I went up here to your dad's house to hide. Those things didn't find me. Do you know where my dad is? He went out looking for you when you ran away.” the Dark Elf replied.

Analee stood and stared at Talarin as he spoke. She could sense memories as Talarin began to think back to when they were kids. They seemed to have been close at some point in their lives. "It's alright" she responded. "After all this, I would expect you would be on the edge."

She felt her heart break as he told her what happened and that he people were gone. Were they still alive? Where were they taken? She continued to try and make sense of all this just as Talarin asked where his father was. Analee looked up and met his gaze, a look of sadness appearing on her face. She wasn't one who could hide her emotions. "He found me, and we were on our way back when" she began, pausing as tried to control her emotion. "We were attacked by those shadow thjngs also."

Analee slowly moved forward towards Talarin as she continued to speak. "All I remember was being choked by one and then I woke up here. He saved me." Analee looked towards the ground, she didn't want to look at Talarin. "I don't know what happened to him. I'm sorry." Turning, she looked out the window at the moon. What had happened to his father? She wouldn't forgive herself if something had happened to him because of her.

Talarin's heart dropped upon news of his father's unknown fate, but at the same time, he wasn't surprised. He also looked out the window, seeing the full moon beaming in the sky.

“Well, at least we're still here... I've been holed up in your house for the third night, and there's nothing happening. We're on our own now. Don't know what to do now.” Talarin admitted. “Oh! I remember that a witch lives out in the woods somewhere near here, I used to go to her place, sometimes. She may be able to help us, she must know something.” the Dark Elf suddenly chirped.

Analee had a few things she could suggest:
Agree with Talarin's plan to search for the witch.
Wait in the house and see what happens; maybe Auryllac will come back? Though, maybe the wrong attention could come instead...
Attempt to seek Auryllac; Analee recalled the direction the Darkbeast pointed in her vision, and would have an idea of where it was.
Or maybe, something else?

Analee turned back to look at Talarin as he spoke. She personally Had never met a witch, she had only heard stories. If this so called witch could help figure out what was going on and help her find her father and people, she was all for it. "I guess it's worth a shot" she agreed. "We should gather up some supplies before we go."

She turned and started grabbing some things, food, etc. " how far is this witch?" She asked, not turning to face him. After filling her bag with supplies, Analee turned and faced Talarin. Reaching up she pushed her hair behind her ear, revealing the scar that ran from the top of her left eye down to her collar bone. For the longest time she was self cousionous because of it but now it was part of her. It was a reminder of that day she was attacked. Most of the time she forgot it was there until someone would stare at her.

"We should get going" she told him as she turned towards the door.

“It's about five hours' walk from here, not too far away, really.” Talarin replied as Analee packed supplies, a very smart move indeed! Talarin did not even think about gathering supplies. He noticed Analee's scar, but said nothing of it.

“Alright, let's go, follow me. I'm not the best pathfinder in the world, and it is nighttime, but the witch's house is magical, and just draws people who seek it to it. I'm sure we'll find her.” Talarin continued, walking to the door, forcing out the javelin he threw earlier, then the two elves stepped out the house, Buruk following happily. Analee noticed that Talarin also had a hatchet, pouch, and knife at his belt.

They went down the helical steps, and then Talarin walked off in some random direction, using his javelin as a short walking stick, spearhead pointing up. Analee followed, gradually leaving the empty, silent village. Taking one last look at the village, Analee soon disappeared with Talarin and Buruk into the wilderness.
