Cleansing of the Cenotaph
Several of the orcs begin to rally around Shovash, including most of those who had become her local lieutenants - Arkr leads their group despite heavy gashes in his arms and chest, and personally hauls several of the wounded to her. They are cut, bruised, burned, clawed, but alive. By the time she reaches the fire and directs a wall of water at it, he has apparently finished bringing in those too injured to walk.
He kneels before her. "Shovash Godsbane, Mistress of Fiends, Planes-Strider, Breaker of Vigil," he says, his tone deeply formal. "My chief has betrayed his people. In his cowardice he fled from battle when the dead attacked, abandoning his position before the eyes of gods and men. I will not grace him with my axe any longer. I ask that I may join under your banner, leaving the Mutilated Corpse tribe behind me and fighting for your cause."
Meanwhile, above the ground, Ragnar sees signs of a massed attack coming from the direction of the Cenotaph. It looks like tracks of the undead...and they dragged the corpses back with them.
