The smith, a burly Orcish woman with light green skin and short brown hair, stopped her work and looked up from his anvil at the red-skinned woman.

She examined her for a moment, then went back to hitting the blade she was crafting with her hammer. "Didn't you see the carts outside, Oshcrun, I have plenty of Orichalcum. They just brought up a new batch of ore from the mines."

Relan still felt pain when he moved, especially if he tried to turn his torso. Reeth might have managed to stop the bleeding, but the wound could reopen with any stress on the area.

The Stormhawks squeezed through the crevasse and found themselves in the poorly lit cavern corridor that the Orcs had came from. They could see that the corridor wasn't natural, as wooden beams were holding up part of the corridor. It looked very much like a mine shaft.

Jofrodr shook his head as he got closer. "No, look. There is a tight hole in between the rocks."

Randagulf followed the Shield-Brother and saw the crevasse when he reached a certain area. "A hidden entrance into some sort of cavern."

"Aye, and from the sounds of it we weren't the first to discover it." Jof stated.

The clashing of metal on metal was certainly coming from inside. They could only barely see in there, as only faint torchlight illuminated the small corridor in the mountain.

Elisiv cut down a wolf that tried to jump her, striking the wolf in the neck with her axe. She kept the other at bay with her shield.

The other Companion in their group helped her while Kal was able to focus on the alpha.

The alpha wasn't able to escape from Kal and she struck him with her sword, killing the wounded animal.

With the alpha dead, the other wolves lost heart and ran away into the surrounding wilderness.

Elisiv sheathed her axe and knelt down beside one of the corpses. "These Orcs look freshly killed. By magic from the looks of it." She saw that one of the Orc's wounds looked charred. The others showed similar wounds.

"There was a battle here yesterday, it wasn't any Companion that did it." She concluded, as no Companions had come up this far up the mountain in days.
