(Wouldn't she take the room that Mornz offered?)

Lamush couldn't tell because of the champion's mask, but the man had been glaring at her when he was there.

Bakel pushed himself off the high chair and stretched. "The humans will suffer the same fate as before, no need to get worked up over it."

Not much happened for the next few hours until a Boruus returned with a status update after noon. By then Bakel was over his hangover and was chewing on some dried jerky.

"Speak." He said when Boruus entered the longhouse.

"We identified 6 Atmoran war parties, each with about two dozen men. They seem to be scouring the mountainside looking for our location." The champion replied.

"Any of them close?" The chief asked.

"Yes, 2 of them are heading right for the stronghold. They are maybe half a day's hike away." Boruus replied.

"Hmm...if they are that close they will spot us soon enough and warn the other war parties." The chief muttered. "We'll need to dispatch them before then. Good thing they split themselves up, making them easier targets. Ready the warband, we will intercept them."

The outpost room that the Stormhawks found themselves in seemed near identical to the first one that they had found. There were two other tunnels leading to it and neither seemed to indicate that they were close to the stronghold. In fact one of the tunnels looked to possibly lead outside.

"Over here." Bodvar call to the women and the other Companions. "Seems whomever came here first went this way." He said, seeing blood drops leading down an eastern tunnel past where a dead Orc laid. -- "What is it?" Randagulf asked, looking around. He couldn't see that far down the tunnel. Jofrodr cast Superior Life Detection, seeing all his compatriots highlighted with his magic, then spotting further lifesights ahead. "Orcs!" Hans charged ahead at the dark tunnel to fight the Orcs. As he was getting close the light from his torch illuminated the section of tunnel and showed a group of Orcs chopping down the wooden structure holding the roof up. Hans wasn't fast enough to stop them and they destroyed one of the pillars. The tunnel began to rumble as the pressure mounted on the unstable rocky roof. Randagulf felt the rumbling. "Shit, they are trying to bring this tunnel down on us!" -- As Bodvar's group was following the tunnel, they began to feel rumbling from their feet. "What in Shor's name?" Bodvar muttered. Elisiv knelt down and felt the ground with her hand. "Vibrations...this can't be good."
