Bakel dropped his cleaver. "I need a drink. Mornz, get supper ready and bring me ale."

Mornz nodded. "As you wish, husband." She headed inside the longhouse, bringing her daughter in with her.

The sun was starting to set as dusk came.

"I don't care if you stay or leave, but you should know that there are Companions about the mountain. We ambushed them a week ago when they tried to go up in great numbers, but we didn't kill all of them. There are still a hundred or so of them alive out there." Bakel said.

(Twigs inside a mine?)

The Stormhawks managed to avoid making noise that would give away their position as they followed the Orcs.

There were four Orcs in that patrol that they were following. The Orcs reached another of the outpost rooms and stopped there.

"His speech, maybe. It sure sounds like Old Atmoran." Jofrodr said.

He had come across Old Atmoran in the written form during his time at the College. Plenty of old scrolls were written in Old Atmoran.

"Though that prayer was something else, something more ancient." Jof stated.

As he was following the stranger, Randagulf examined the tunnel. ''The Orcs had to carve a lot of this out, these tunnels aren't natural. Must have taken them decades to make this network of tunnels in the mountain.''

Hans stopped up ahead.

Randagulf walked up to the stranger. "What is it?"

Hans gestured for him to be quiet. "Knife-ears ahead."

Randagulf listened and heard the striking on metal on stone repeatedly.

Kal couldn't dodge in time and the sword slashed her on her left thigh. Her armor protected her from major damage. The blade just left a superficial wound on her.

"What!" Bodvar turned around and saw another Orc coming from the dark.

The second Orc stabbed the Companion next to Kal in the back.

Elisiv grabbed her shield. She wasn't far from Kal, but not close enough to help right away.

"Shields!" Bodvar ordered. He had been at the front of the group so he was too far away to fight the Orcs. A number of Companions stood in his way.
