[Carlas]

The orcs kept coming, an endless tide of black streaking out of the forest. He held his large axe high in the air and slashed at them, hearing their horrid cries as they fell before him and the rest of the company.

Durin looked back at the others, they seemed to be holding up, but he did not have time to think more about them before a large orc charged at him. Durin felt the cold earth as he and the orc fell to the ground. He grabbed the orc and pushed him off but was attacked by many more standing above him. He hacked at the orc's feet and sent them sprawling onto the ground as he pushed himself onto his feet. As he turned about, another orc hit him on the arm with an odd type of dagger. Durin felt the blood seeping out of the wound and wacked the orc right in the head with his axe, cracking its skull.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Ani Dao infront of Burzdol, fending off most of the orcs. He smiled and fought his way through the wall of foes over to where she stood to try and help ward of the oncomeing enemies.
