Randagulf felt relief as the wound on his right arm closed up and the pain subsided. Having a healer along really is a godsend.

As he turned around to face his opponent he saw that she was running away. "The Orc is smart, this was a losing battle."

She was able to slip past the skirmish and make it up the stairs. The Harbinger tried to follow at first, but she was too quick to catch up too.

Before long, Lamush was close to Kal and Boruus. She could try to interfere in their battle, or leave Boruus to his fate.

Kal was unable to dodge the attack completely, it struck her arm and bruised her.

She was still too close to hit with his axe, so the Orc lunged at her with a kick. It seemed like his strategy was to stay on the offensive, hoping to overpower the female mercenary.

The Dremora struck the Orc before he could land a blow, piercing the injured Orc through the chest. The Orc warrior stumbled forward, the strength going out of his legs as the daedra killed him.

The Dremora could feel the pull of the Void on his soul, he wouldn't last much longer in Mundus.

Otamr swung his sword at the Orc, who blocked it with his shield and returned a stab. Luckily, the Companion mananged to deflect the blow with his own shield. Their skill with a sword and shield seemed to be about the same, neither could out perform the other.

Relan would prove the turning point in that fight. The Orc noticed him approaching and held in shield up preemptively to block an incoming attack from the smith.

The closest Orc to Tiskr were the remaining warriors on the ground. There were only a half-dozen of them left, against 15 humans (which includes everyone down there in the mines).

The Orc warrior tried to dodge Tiskr's attack, but was unable to. Bittnahjold cut through his throat and he died in seconds.

Elisiv was beside Tiskr. She hit one of the last Orcs above the hip with her axe, cutting deep into his intestines.

Styrbjorn retreated to the courtyard in front of the longhouse. Bakel was right behind him.

The Captain called for help from the other Companions. Many saw the injured captain, but they were too far away to help.

Bakel swung at him. His cleaver struck the Captain on the side, cutting deep into him through his gambeson.

Styrbjorn Fire-Breath fell over, the pain overwhelming him so much that his body went into shock.

Chief Bakel stomped on his head, crushing his skull.

--

"Captain!" One of the Vedrfolnir crewmembers yelled upon seeing his leader killed. Him and others tried to head to the longhouse, but the female Orcs had regrouped with their chief and were mounting another defense.

The female Orcs cut down some of the enraged humans, taking advantage of their compromised state.

"Hold your ground!" Bodvar yelled, making it close to the longhouse. "Hold your ground!"

"Why should we listen to you?!" A hunter from the Vedrfolnir asked.

"Do you want to avenge your captain, or join him?!" Bodvar asked, shutting the hunter up. "If you want to avenge him, follow my orders!"

The Vedrfolnir crew members reluctantly listened to Captain Bodvar and formed up with him and his crew.
