D&D Online: Shadows of Stormreach, Chapter Two

Eberron creator Keith Baker has released the second chapter of his story created exclusively for Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach.
Shadow wanted to ask why, but this was no time for discussion; Marcus and Spike were still locked in battle. And as much as she hated the sorceress's mysterious ways, Shadow was certain Petra knew what she was talking about. Shadow turned and raced for Spike, drawing her dagger as she ran.

The warforged put up a fierce defense against his foe. The dwarf-rat wasn't bleeding, but he was unsteady on his feet, with a posture that hinted at broken bones. The rat-creatures might be resistant to the bite of steel, but the sheer force of Spike's blows was taking its toll. Shadow had seen Spike wrestle an ogre to the ground, and she knew the strength the warforged could bring to bear in full battle-frenzy. But there were deep gouges in Spike's armor, and the light in his heartstones pulsed erratically.
