(Thanks Bee.)

Tiskr didn't see anything out of the ordinary and as the sky began to brighten with the dawn, the lights disappeared into the background.

Lamush wasn't fast enough to interrupt Boruus' swing. He caught her in the side, where her armor plates didn't cover her skin.

Luckily her enhanced toughness stopped his axe from getting too deep into her. It stopped at her ribs. She was bleeding, but not too injured.

Boruus jumped back and avoided her kick.

The fight was still heavily in her favor, as the champion was much more injured and worn down. However, you wouldn't realize with how the Akul Orcs were cheering for their champion.

After the quarelling stopped, the Harbinger had the Captains retell the events expedition up the mountain in further detail.

"They ambushed us out of nowhere." Bodvar said. "We had scouts ahead, but none of them noticed the Orcs before they attacked us."

"Aye, there was even some Orcs behind our marching column." Styrbjorn said. His crew had been at the back of that column so he knew.

"So they surrounded you?" Randagulf asked.

"It appeared so." Bodvar muttered. "The battle was quite chaotic. Many of us were caught off-guard and they dealt a crushing blow right off the bat."

"Our huntmaster, Heiðrekr was killed first. He had been leading the vanguard." Rolf stated. "After that Captain Heimir tried to organize our defenses but he was cut off from the rest of the men and was killed as well. I led what remained of our crew in a retreat after our captain fell."

The Harbinger looked at the mountain map in the candle-light. "This seems like more than a simple case of the enemy knowing the terrain better. To outmanuever your crews so effectively they must have some sort of way to get around us effectively and strike where we least expect it."

"We thought the same." Styrbjorn said. "I had a few patrols attempt to track the Orcs up the mountain, they never returned."
