Skaibad took up his sword in his right hand and his spear in his left. He was now closing in on the treacherous band of Easterlings with many Orcs behind him. He felt something fly past his head and saw a bottle of wine smash into the side of an Easterling's head. Skaibad grinned and looked towards where the hard missiles where coming, there he could see Nozhdrul continuously flinging the bottles into the air. The Easterlings had been caught unawares and were now slipping all over the place, cutting themselves on the broken glass which now littered the floor. A few Orcs jumped into the frey, though most had the sense to stay back.

The bottles subsided a little and Skaibad urged the Orcs into battle with a yell. They were all lusting for battle and were glad to finally get their weapons into something, though lots of them went down before they got near an Easterling with their sword. Skaibad couldn't care less, as long as he wasn't hurt. He lunged forward with his spear and received a satisfying yell from the Easterling at the other end. He leaned forwards and cut the man's head clean off with his sword. Pushing the body off the end of his spear with his foot, he sliced down at another Easterling. cutting him through from shoulder to hip.

Skaibad spun round, ready for some more hacking and carving, but finding his sword blocked and he was face to face with Findorak, his face full of anger, bursting to be let out. Skaibad freed his sword and stabbed at Findorak, who blocked. Skaibad dropped his spear and put two hands on the hilt of his sword.

He swung hard at the easterling captain’s head but Findorak parried and the sword was pushed wide. Back and forth the two combatants swayed until with a might heave, Skaibad threw back Findorak into the opening of the cave. As he lurched forward Findorak rolled and his sword hit the cold stone. With another strike, Skaibad sent the sword of his enemy clattering across the floor. "Got you now you filthy Easterling!" he sneered.

He brought his sword down with all his might but it struck the stone floor and shattered. Findorak had managed to roll aside once again, and kicked out at the leg of Skaibad, bringing the orc to his knee.
Findorak immediately sprang away. Skaibad looked around and spotted a scimmitar in the hand of a dead orc, he reached over and grabbed it, then stood up and once again went after Findorak.
