The crowd at the gates parted and let Lamush head inside.

An Orc on the gate watchtower yelled down. "Alright alright, the show is over. Get back to work!"

The crowd dispersed as everyone went back to their daily business. A few of them kept their glances at the red-skinned half-orc, but didn't approach her.

Lamush could now see the inside of the stronghold. There seemed to be a few dozen huts that served as homes for the residents. Larger huts seemed to belong to the guards and the chieftain's courtiers. The largest building was the Chief's longhouse at the far end of the stronghold. To the south she could see what looked like mine entrances on the mountainside.

Ótamr led Randagulf's party up the western path.

There were 24 of them in the group. The Harbinger had seperated them into 4 half-dozen sized parties and spread them out through the path. This was to try to stop the whole group from getting surrounded all at once.

Reyl and Jof were in the same party as Randagulf and Ótamr at the front.

They headed up the path without much happening. Ótamr didn't see any tracks or any signs of Orcs nearby.

As they were walking, however, Tannr raised his head and ears and was looking them around as if he was trying to listen to something. None of the humans could hear anything.

Kal's group travelled together up the sourthern path. The Captain had organized them into three rows with shield users on the sides and the squishier people in the middle row.

Elisiv and Bodvar were at the front and Kal was just behind the blonde woman.

The Harbinger's daughter raised one hand to her forehead and looked out at the mountainside. "I see something up ahead."

"Go investigate." Bodvar ordered. He gestured for the other Companions to ready themselves.

Elisiv nodded. She turned back to Kal and another hunter and asked them to come with her. "Let's scout up ahead."
