Bakel gave her a small grin. "They will certainly get more than they bargained for."

He headed to his longhouse. "I have my problems with our father, Lammy, but I was wrong to push them onto you. You came all this way to tell me of my mother's fate. In return I'll give you a roof over your head as long as you like."

He gestured for her to follow him in, if she liked.

Since the fight had ended, the stronghold resumed its usual evening schedule. The people were returning to their huts, while the guards were changing patrols.

The Orcs sat down to eat and rest in the outpost room. They had yet to realize that they were being followed.

No other Orcs came to join them in the room, it remained only those 4.

The Orc was wearing medium armor, plates of iron with chainmail. He was wielding only a sword, no shield.

The Orc didn't allow Kal the time to find a weakpoint, as he continued his attack. He tried to disarm her, focusing a strike on her sword hand.

The Companions were trying to collect themselves as a 3 more Orcs came out of the side-tunnel and joined the fight and quickly dispatched another Atmoran.

There were 5 of them in total fighting against the 27 Companions and Kal. A foolish move if the Orcs didn't have the advantage of the tight tunnels funneling the humans. Only a small handful of Companions could fight the Orcs at once and the rest could do nothing but watch.

Hans walked more slowly and cautiously now. He put out his torch and he soon came up to the end of their tunnel. It led into a large mining chamber. Wooden platforms and stairs lined the sides of the chamber, where a group of Orcs were swinging away at ore veins.

Randagulf ordered his men to follow Hans' lead and put out their torches. He crouched and examined the mining chamber.

"A dozen Orcs." The Harbinger muttered. "5 of them guards, the rest look like miners."

"Underestimate not an elf. A miner is as treacherous as a guard." Hans said quietly. He grabbed his shield from his back.

"We still outnumber them." Jofrodr noted.
