As the miner wore no armor, her dagger slashed right through the Orc's flesh.

The miner fell back, grabbing his neck with both hands, but the wound was too deep and he was bleeding out too quickly. Within a few moments his eyes rolled behind his head and he died choking on his own blood.

3 miners remained, they desperately hacked away at the wooden pillars, trying to bring down the tunnel upon the humans. The third wooden beam broke just as Jofrodr reached them.

The wooden structure of the tunnel was creaking loudly under the pressure of the unstable stone roof. One more broken beam would bring the whole thing down on them.

Jofrodr stabbed Prince-Slayer into the gut one of the remaining miners, pushing the Orc away from the beams in the process. "Kal, Elisiv! We need to stop them now or we're all dead!"

Elisiv was going to order her men to chase down the fleeing Orc warriors, but Jof was right. The miners needed to die now. "Kill the miners! Go!" She ordered the Companions.

The Atmorans rushed to aid Kal and Jof kill the last three Orcs before they could kill them all under falling debris.

Captain Bodvar's crew had found themselves in one of the outpost rooms that led outside. "Damn it, we're farther away from the stronghold."

He was about to order the men to head back the way they came when he suddenly got an idea. "Everyone outside!'

The Companions squeezed through the tight crevasse and were out in the mountain wilderness once more. They found themselves high up in the mountain range, near the peak of Mount Sheave.

"Captain! To the east!" One of the hunters yelled out.

Bodvar looked east and just about made out the wooden palisade of the stronghold in the distance. It was afternoon, a few hours past midday, but the sky was still bright and open. "We must call the other crews."

Thinking of a way to contact the other Companions that weren't in the tunnels, Bodvar eventually found a solution, "Go inside and gather as much wood and flammable materials as you can from the crates in that room. We'll make a pyre!"
