(@Septimus: Carrik is 64, she is 115. So 51 years. Almost twice his age.

Not by much, there are around 130-ish Orcs attacking the Black Fortress, but most are actually from other smaller strongholds. Since after Gar Aglakh won the battle against the Crows, more local Orcs joined them. Gar Aglakh is not the only Orc stronghold in the Wrothgarian Mountains, but it is the largest currently. The stronghold would still have a bit over 100 Orcs guarding it, as during the battle they had around 200.)

"You shouldn't fight." Medora argued. "It will only result in your death. You are not well enough to fight."

Sir Alodie didn't even have time to dodge or parry the third attack from the armored Orc. It struck him right in the chest and the Knight fell back, unmoving. His chestplate had caved in where the warhammer had hit him.

With their leader dead, the Knights on the battlements quickly lost control of the battle. The blacksmith Dagur tried to take charge, but nevertheless he ordered a retreat, for they needed to regroup.

The Orc stronghold of Gar Aglakh had a large wooden palisade surrounding it and it had four watchtowers along it. Those defenses had been the most difficult for the ill-equipped Order of the Crows to deal with. That and the fact that the Orcs had a trap waiting for them.

A few gathered around Shannon, not sure about the situation. Still, some remained in their cells. Among them was the Redguard that the guards had talked to earlier.

"You're really here to save us?" One girl asked skeptically. Clearly these girls had gone through alot and thus were pretty untrustworthy.
