The Jarl's housecarl tried to hit Toralf again, this time the general blocked the attack. The Jarl of Winterhold was preoccupied fighting someone else to see his housecarl fighting the enemy general. The housecarl was younger and faster than the general, which gave him an advantage in their duel. However Toralf was a much better fighter, as he was a Bear Berserker. The two exchanged many blows, some landing on the general and others on the housecarl. But the duel didn't seem like it was going to end anytime soon, except when the Jarl joined his housecarl in the duel and the two of them took on Toralf the Burned.

He tried to keep his own against the two of them but it wasn't working. He couldn't fight two people at the same time. It seemed like everything was lost, until an explosion from a fireball nearby caused the housecarl to become momentarily distracted, long enough for Toralf to swing his battleaxe and hit the young Nord right under his arm, on the side of his torso. The blow was brutal and cut deep into the housecarl. He fell down from the attack, but as the Jarl saw this he lunged at Toralf. Due to the axe getting stuck in the housecarl's ribcage the general wasn't able to pull it out soon enough to block the attack. The Jarl had stabbed Toralf through the lower abdomen with his sword.

Pulling his blade out and seeing his opponent falling to the ground right next to his deceased housecarl was satisfying.

Nearby, Commander Dathman Halfhand saw the duel. The last stand of his mentor Toralf the Braggard, the Burned, General of Eastmarch and Marshal to Jarl Engar the Strong. With his grip tightly on his own Battleaxe he snapped into Bear Rage and charged at the Jarl.

The battle was still undecided but Eastmarch still had the numerical advantage.

Dathman cut down half a dozen Winterhold soldiers before reaching the Jarl. The young Nord power attacked the northern Jarl, who blocked the attack but was staggered. Dathman struck again, wounding the Jarl's arm. But the Jarl was back on his feet and he sliced the Commander in the leg. He ignored the pain because of the Bear Rage and struck again, relentlessly. The two exchanged a few more blows, the Jarl rapidly losing ground in the fight. Dathman was focused, he was determined. He would see this man dead for killing his former mentor.

The Jarl was a man in his 40s, his hair already turning grey. Dathman was in his mid 20s and with a burning fire in his eyes. The duel's conclusion was inevitable. As Dathman power attacked the Jarl once more, the later missing the block. The commander's battleaxe dug deep into the Jarl's flesh right next to his neck. The Jarl fell as blood poured from his wound, killing him within the minute.
