With her speed and agility, and Reyl's buff, Kal was able to make it through the Skirmish without being attacked.

The miners were close to their goal as one of the pillars was destroyed and the wooden supports of the tunnel began to struggle.

The Companions now outnumbered the Orcs and with Reyl's spell they were stronger. To compensate the Orcs activated their Berserker Rage and began to fight on par with the buffed up Atmorans.

The Stormhawks had to backtrack quite a ways, back to the crossroads once more and as they got there they heard the sounds of boots running on stone, as well as light coming from one of the 3 other tunnels.

Boruus heard her line. He was angered by it, but didn't voice this.

Bakel attacked, using his greater reach to strike Hans before he could close the gap between them. He lunged and tried to hit the human with the end of his sword.

The human tried to dodge, but in his injured state he was in no condition to do so. He was hit right in the chest with the cleaver. Had the sword had a sharp point Hans would've been run through, but the wider point meant that he was spared total perforation. Still, the blade damaged more of his chainmail, cutting through his Atmoran padded gambeson and leaving him bruised.

Hans was pushed back. His left arm was covered in blood. He had 6 arrows stuck to his back, legs and sides. His torso was bruised and with broken bones. Still, the man persisted. Nothing would get between him and his goal, not even the limits of his body.

Bakel was filled with a sense of dread emanating from this human. He wanted to end this quickly so he went for another attack.

Hans, however, swing his limp left arm at Bakel and splattered blood on his face.

Momentarily blinded, Bakel missed his attack as Hans ducked and then cut the distance between them in one lunge.

Hans attacked the Orc with his axe, going right his neck.

Bakel felt the shock of pain as the axe dug into his flesh. Instinctively, he activated his Oshcrun Standard.

Being that close to the Orc, Hans was engulfed in the flames.

Bakel took a step back and grabbed his neck with his left hand. He pulled his hand away and saw it bloody, though the fact that he could still breath meant that the wound wasn't too deep. He quickly grabbed his neck again and applied pressure to try to keep himself from bleeding too much.

The human finally collapsed, burned, bloodied, bruised and broken.
