Tiskr blocked the attack in time and held against the Orc's strength, keeping his footing.

When Kal lunged at him, Boruus sidestepped and blocked the slashes with his plated gauntlets. Slashing wildly was pretty pointless since the Orc champion was heavily armored. Kal needed to do precision strikes to get past his armor's weakpoints in order to injure him.

Due to Boruus' movements, he left himself open to a counter-attack by Tiskr.

Saga grabbed the bow and an arrow and aimed it at Boruus. "I can't get a clear shot, not yet. He's moving too much." The hunter reported.

Randagulf could see that Boruus was indeed obscured from view by Kal and Tiskr. If Saga fired, she would risk hitting one of them as well.

She aimed upwards, trying to get a line of fire at the Orc in a parabola. This proved a more successful attempt and she let loose an arrow at the Orc champion.

The arrow flew over Tiskr and Kal and hit Boruus on his left arm, making it through the heavy armor plating.

Murbut did notice Lamush' injuries, but getting out of the stronghold was her first priority. As a shaman, she could heal Lamush later.

By now the red she-orc was feeling quite dizzy from bloodloss.

Murbut lead the group of refugees out through the sully port at the eastern side of the stronghold. It was hidden under some thatching from an adjacent hut. It was a small tunnel that led out of the stronghold.

"Alright, everyone through." The old shaman ordered.

(We don't need to RP this Orc group for a while, we can post an epilogue for them once the battle is finished.)

Helgi screamed, but still pulled himself together enough to strike at the Chief with his sword.

Bakel's armor deflected the sword. His Orcish heavy armor was thicker than regular orcish armor, and also a lot heavier, but due to his Oshcrun physiology he was able to wield it without trouble. This thickness made it difficult to get past his defenses as the Companions had thus far seen.

Bodvar got back on his feet and charged at the chief with a powerful axe blow.

Bakel had to block the attack with his cleaver, holding the blade sideways, but stood his ground against the Companion. "Your puny strength will never defeat me."

Emboldened by their chief's prowess, the Orcs in the courtyard held strong against the humans even as the fires spread across the snowy stronghold.
