As Lamush ran towards the stairs, Hans ran towards her. She had just reached the stairs when he caught up to her, trying to grab her ankle as she was climbing up. Luckily for her, his fingers just barely missed her ankle and she was able to get away.

She found herself back in the stronghold after passing through the mine's gate. What she saw was smoke coming from the western part of the orc settlement and sounds of clashing steel and screams of battle north of her towards Bakel's longhouse. The Companions were already here.

It was likely that the western part of the stronghold was overrun with humans, getting through there would be very hard. She could head north and join what seemed like the bulk of the battle, or she could try to run east. Though she was unfamiliar with the eastern part of the stronghold.

Bakel swung his cleaver wide and struck two Companions. One he managed to cleave the head clean off and the other received the blade straight into the side of his head, breaking through the skull and killing the human.

Bodvar saw the large chief near of him. Bakel was taller than all the other nearby Orcs, so picking him out wasn't difficult. He moved towards the chief. ''That is their leader. If we kill him the others will falter.''

Relan struck the Orc's head, hitting the temple and knocking the Orc out cold. He didn't appear to be dead, as his helmet had protected him from a fatal blow, but the Orc wouldn't be getting up anytime soon. The smith could easily finish him off.

Tiskr headed up the stairs to the platform and in front of him saw the duel between Boruus and Kal. The woman seemed to be struggling to defeat the Orc champion alone. He could join the mercenary and help her defeat Boruus.

Kal was quick, but not quick enough to totally dodge the tackle. He managed to grab her arm as she jumped out of the way. He tried to bend her arm unnaturally to break it.

At this close a range, Kal could strike at gaps in his heavy armor with her dagger. That was likely her best bet to defeat the Orc.

Reeth's staff electricuted the last archer to death. The platforms were now empty of foes, save for Boruus.
