As Lamush left the area outside the stronghold she spotted the Orc woman helping Boruus into a nearby hut.

She could feel numerous eyes on her as she walked through the stronghold.

It wasn't hard to spot the smithy. The columb of smoke coming from the forge made it easy enough to find towards the southern part of the stronghold. It was located right near one of the mine entrances and carts of raw ore were piled up outside the smithy.

The wolves had dragged the corpses around, but the Orcs still seemed to all be facing westward.

The area where the Orcs were seemed like it had been a camp, one made quite recent, but by the looks of it not one made by the Orcs. The ways the bodies were laid out made it seem like they died attacking the camp.

Elisiv grabbed her axe. "The wolves don't seem to have noticed us yet. They're too busy eating. We can get the drop on them."

Tannr began leading the group towards the sounds that he had heard.

A few minutes afterwards, even the humans could hear the strange echoes ringing from the north. It sounded a bit metallic maybe like metal hitting metal, but the sound was heavily distorted.

"What in Shor's name is that?" Jofrodr wondered.

"It doesn't sound good." Randagulf stated. "Stay on your guard." He grabbed his battleaxe from his back.

Relan was stabbed through the lower torso, as he failed to dodge or block the Orc's attack. Luckily the Orichalcum sword missed any vital spots, but it was still a painful injury and the smith could feel the warmth of his blood leaking from the wound.

However, this proved to be a boon for Relan. The Orc's sword was still stuck inside him and that left the barbarian's defenses wide open for a counter attack. Relan was able to strike him across the face with his hammer, knocking the Orc back and making him lose the grip from his sword.

Disoriented and disarmed, the Orc warrior stumbled into the rockwall of the mountain.

The archer managed to regain his senses and used Relan as a meat-shield to dodge Reeth's spell. Though that didn't stop Tiskr's charge.

Tiskr bashed the archer and knocked him off his feet, leaving him wide open.
