Red fills Glirion's vision as the orc's scimitar cuts deeply. There are no illusions about what may come next. Staggering up, Glirion staggers back into the protection of his comrades, hoping to finish off the orc before he is ended.

Borir is surprised by the arrow in his shield and brings back his axe to strike the orc when he sees Glirion struck. He moves to put himself and his shield in position to provide some cover for those beside and behind him and then strikes the orc with his axe.

Ghor the Despoiler is Despoiled
Varuthil turns her attention to the archer on the roof. She draws back and looses her arrow. The shot is perfect of course. It strikes the snaga in the eye socket and pierces into its brain sending it falling off the roof into the darkness out of sight.
Finn and Gerwald stay focused on the large black uruk Ghor. Finn stands over Glirion, straddling him, and slices with his blade into the orc's shoulder. Snarling, it howls as it is driven down to his knees. Spitting blood blood it mocks Finn, " It doesn't matter if you kill me. We've already become too strong to stop. The Master has risen again!" Then to punctuate his last words Gerwald slams his great spear through the chest of The Despoiler and ends his wretched life!
The others, Borir and Glirion, take in the scene, the battle is over, and you have won.
