Just as Carathon struggled to mount Ozracles's tall stallion, the barbarian nudged the animal forward, causing the new man to fall flat on his face onto the muddy floor. Carathon sat up, spluttering and cursing as Ozracles laughed.

"I'd much rather have her seated with me," he said, pointing at the captive girl, behind Thorondruin's mount. "When this maggot has rid himself of his foul stench and rags, he may ride with me... or else he can run behind us."

With that the barbarian kicked at the young man, who fell flat again trying to avoid the blow. With a roar of raucous laughter, Ozracles rode off toward Himelilek, who also shared his amusement as Thorondruin shook his head.

"Run along behind us, Carathon," he said, "until you find yourself a horse."

The young man's shoulders slumped as he fell in step behind the rouges.
