The next couple of days and nights is a repeat of the first without much interruption. This shallow into the wilderness most beasts are kept in check by regular hunting either by villagers or guild hunters. It will be a different matter when we turn west deeper into the wilderness.

    With Nadi''s spear buried in its chest it drops its club to grab the spear. Having switched from my glaive to my battle axe I deliver the finishing blow to its head from behind. His head comes clean off. Easy fight, but could have been very different if we did not have the momentum of surprise. Kira and Rin look disappointed that they didn''t get to do anything, but their role was more of a safeguard. If something went wrong they were supposed to fire arrows at its head to distract it. Ogre skulls are too hard to penetrate with an arrow and the beast as a whole is agile enough to doge arrows. The killing blow would have to be delivered by either me or Nadi.


    "Do you know why this orc has stopped fighting me and is showing off his erection?" Looking towards Nadi, I see the strangest sight. I am reminded of a chapter in the book a read, but I never expected to see it in person. The last orc standing is no longer holding a combat stance against Nadi, but is instead flexing muscles and parading his erect penis in front of Nadi. If it didn''t look so comical I guess I would be disgusted. To my surprise, Nadi looks more fascinated. Is the orcs courting ritual working on her?
