Kal's strike just barely made it in time before the Orc was able to pull her weapon back up. The merc's sword struck through the partial armor that the she-Orc was wearing and pierced her left lung.

While it didn't outright kill the Orc, a serious wound like that would be fatal within a few minutes. An hour if the Orc was lucky. The pain alone was enough to stun the she-Orc and the injury did make it difficult for her to breath properly.

Still, Kal should finish the Orc off instead of leaving her alive. Even with a punctured lung, the she-Orc might still be a danger to the humans.

Bakel swung at the injured captain, but Bodvar raised his weapon just in time and blocked the blow, the blade stopping centimeters from his face.

Bodvar tried to counter, but the Orc proved too strong. Bakel was pushing against the captain and inching the blade closer to him. Enough so that the Orichalcum edge began to bite into his cheek.

"Grrrr." Bodvar struggled to keep the blade off him, using the shaft of his axe against the large ugly metal sword.

Bakel wanted to finish the captain off quickly, he didn't want to still be fighting him when the human that should've been dead arrives. I shouldn't have wasted my Standard on that other human... He cursed himself.

Unfortunately for Bakel, after slaying one of the she-Orcs with an mace hit to the temple, Hans arrived at the empty circle where Bakel was dueling Bodvar.

Hans had followed after Lamush when she ran from the mine, but had stopped when he made it to the surface. He had noticed the battle talking place in the courtyard and had made his way there instead. He was the first human to reach it, before Randagulf and the others. Though as swiftly as a fox, he had slipped into the battle without making a scene. Since he had lost his weapons down at the mine, he had retrieved new ones from dead Companions near the courtyard, a steel mace and a new shield.

Bakel's use of the Oshcrun Standard had immediately caught his attention. He only had hazy memories before his death at the hands of Bakel, but he still remembered that the Orc had been the one to do him in. He meant to repay that in full.
