The Stormhawks remained undetected.

Another Orc came into the chamber from one of the connecting tunnels and they began to get into position.

The archers fired on Hans again, this time having more success. 6 other arrows were stuck him now. He looked also a pin cushion.

Hans stumbled, falling to one knee.

"That didn't last long." Bakel scoffed.

Hans pushed himself back up. The human looked up at the chief.

Bakel felt a chill go down his spine, the man's red eyes looked like death was staring him in the face. He didn't know why, but he felt afraid. He pushed that thought out of his mind. "Break formation." He told the shield wall.

The Orcs did as he demanded and lowered their shields.

"I'll finish him." Bakel said. "Put the oaf out of his misery."

He walked through the shieldwall and out of the open. He picked up his cleaver.

Hans lifted up his shield and had his war axe at the ready.

"Adorable, but you won't last long with those injuries human." Bakel said, even though he knew that the human couldn't understand him.

"Try me, elf." Hans replied in Orcish. His pronunciation was perfect eastern orcish, the same kind used by the locals of the stronghold.

Bakel was taken aback. "You...you understand us?!"

Hans lunged at Bakel while he was distracted, but his axe failed to get through the Orc's heavy armor.

There were 16 Orcs in total. 9 warriors and 5 miners, who were currently trying to bring down the tunnel.

Reyl's spell hit the front 3 Orcs of shieldwall. She couldn't get a clear line of sight to the miners, but she did stop the advance of the shieldwall. The Orcs were greatly injured and screamed from pain as their flesh burned. However, they were not killed.

It wasn't possible to get around the shieldwall discretely in the tunnel. The Orcs had lined up from wall to wall. To get around them Kal would need to push through, which would reveal her position.

The other Orcs took the place of the injured and formed up once more as Elisiv and the other charged into their position.

"We win or we die!" Elisiv yelled to her group. She attacked the shieldwall, swing her axe at the Orcish shields with the other Companions beside her.

Jofrodr used his telekinesis to throw his sword through the 1 foot gap above the Orcs. It circumvented the shieldwall and shot right into the side of one of the miners.

The Orc collapsed on the ground, screaming from the pain. The sword gutted him, but wasn't enough to kill him in one blow.

Tannr barred his teeth and growled, but stood by Reyl. Nonetheless, the sabercat looked itching for a fight.
