Relan couldn't summon another Dremora so soon after he had summoned the first one. Just one summon used up all his magicka. He'd need to wait about another minute before his magicka was full enough to summon a second Dremora Lord. Staying out of the fight would allow him to focus better and refill his magicka quicker, but it would still take another half-minute.

5 of the archers were hit with Tiskr's shout. The magic weakened their armor and made them more susceptible to damage.

The Orcs didn't know this, so they were confused at what happened to them. This delayed their response and they weren't able to notch any more arrows before Tiskr closed the gap between them.

The Companions weren't far behind.

Elisiv and another of the Companions on the shieldwall crouched for Reyl and Jofrodr to use their spells.

Reyl's magic hit the three Orcs in the front of the enemy line and burned them with holy fire. The Orcs dropped to the ground, burning and screaming.

Jofrodr then summoned a spectral spear and then threw it at the now broken enemy line. He hit an Orc in the second row, stabbing him through the left shoulder. The Orc was pushed back from the impact and left bleeding, but an arm wound wouldn't kill him.

The remaining Orcs, seeing what had happened to their bretheren, decided to attack. They figured that the humans would just pick them off one by one otherwise.

"Here they come!" Elisiv said. She and the other Companion stood back up to prepare for the enemy charge.

One more Companion parties arrived at Bodvar's pyre. Captain Styrbjorn's warparty. They caught his men up to the situation and together they decided that it was time to attack, though Rolf argued that they should wait until more of the warparties made it up there.

Because of this, Rolf decided to leave some men behind to keep the pyre going and tell any other Companions that arrived about the situation so that they could reinforce the attackers of the stronghold.
