Tiskr was healed back up to full strength by Kal, however his mind was still disoriented. Regular healing wouldn't get rid of that debilitating effect. Only time or a more specialized healing would cure him of this concussion. Bakel was slumped over, blood gushing from his open neck. The blood pooled in front of the Orc and drentched his armor in the warm crimson liquid. He looked very much dead. -

Reyl brought the Huntmaster back from the bring of death, stabilizing the heavily burned human. Once the healing was done, Helgi woke up. He looked up to the mage. "Reyl, it appears that I owe a great debt."

His body was still pretty scared from the burns from Bakel's Oshcrun Standard.

The battle would be over within the half-hour. The last of the Orcs cut down by Harbinger Randagulf at the courtyard.

Most of Akul Khazak was a smoldering ruin at this point, but what remained was being picked clean by the other Companions for trophies and proof of their successful mission against the Orcs. The more honorable Companions refrained from the looting.

The last of the crew arrived by the end of the battle. Among them was Jofrodr, who had made it out of the tunnels with some injured humans and brought them back to the fold.

Jofrodr ran into Relan. "You! You're alive. So you managed to make it to the surface. Tell me, smith, is Reyl safe?" He was quite worried about his companion.

"Quiet." Murbut smacked the crying child over the head.

The Orc refugees were a considerable distance from the stronghold by then, but they could still see the smoke stack raising from their former home.

The shaman was leading them around the northern face of Mount Sheave and towards the south.

"Where are we going?"An exhausted Shaggol asked. She was pregnant, so extended physical exercise was bad for her, even if she was an Orc.

"Marzgior." The old shaman replied bluntly.

"That stronghold is more than two weeks away." Shaggol argued.

"My daughter Uloog was a friend of the Chief. They are the closest ones that will take us in." Murbut stated. Her tone indicated that she didn't want further complaints. Still, the shaman knew that it would be a tough journey for the pregnant woman and for the younger Orcs, who had never gone more than a few kilometers from Akul Khazak.
