Jofrodr cast Superior Life Detection to confirm their suspicions and surely enough he saw two groups of Orcs up ahead. He grabbed a torch from one of the other Companions and threw it as far as he could.

The flames flickered as the torch flew, but weren't put out by the time it finally landed on the rocky ground. The light revealed a shieldwall ahead as well as another side tunnel much like the one that the Orcs had used before on Bodvar's group.

One of the Orcs yelled something in Orcish and the shieldwall marched ahead.

Jofrodr could also see that there were Orcs behind the shieldwall, hacking away at the wooden structure of the tunnel. "They're trying to collapse this tunnel too!"

The Companions would need to act quickly if they wanted to stop the Orcs from sealing this path as well.

Hans eventually made it to a tall circular chamber with wooden stairs going all the way up. It was the main entrance to the mine. He had hacked his way there, killing the Orcs that tried to stop him. However, now he faced a great number of them.

Bakel looked down at the lone human that entered the chamber. He laughed. "One man."

"Maybe the others are right behind him." Boruus muttered.

Bakel suspected as much so they waited a few moments, but no one else came into the chamber after Hans.

Hans didn't wait, he walked towards the five dozen Orcs that stood before him.

Archers were on the stairs, their bows aimed right at him, while warriors formed a shield wall at the bottom floor of the chamber.

Bakel and Boruus were right behind that shield wall.

"I don't think anyone else is coming." Bakel scoffed. "Kill him."

The archers fired on Hans, pelting him with arrows.

He raised his shield and blocked all but three of the arrows, which pierced him on his flanks. The archers had been laid out all around the room. They could hit him from the sides where his shield didn't cover him.

Those arrows didn't stop Hans. He singleminded headed at the shieldwall, his slow walk turning into a full charge.

"That human has balls." Bakel noted.
