  i dont know if I am engaged in this round or not.

[Eclecticon]

This round, Hathcyn and his band are still mounted and waiting to cut off fleeing orcs.  You can hear the sounds of battle from the longhouse, though, so you can join in at any point from next round, though. 

[Eclecticon]

Grimbeorn's roar is echoed by a savage bellow from the largest orc as Bear's Claw meets a heavy wooden shield.  Behind him, Men clash furiously with lesser orcs, the cries and screams merging into an undifferentiated din of battle.  As the chieftain matches Grimbeorn blow for blow, the orcs press forward, seeking to hew flesh from bone...


The orcs fight back!
