Bab 194: Headcount

The battle was over, with the Goblin tribe and the invading Orcs all dead, but not without a grave cost. Even the healing magic of the four clerics present couldn't save five of the members of the other group, which had been attacked by the Orcs. 

They had been killed in a single strike, with no time to heal them or save their lives.

"Headcount." The Captain of Karl's group asked wearily.

"One down, seriously injured and recuperating." Their cleric replied. 

"Five dead, including the Major, two injured." The other cleric replied.

The Captain sighed and shook his head. That Orc attack had been too much. From the moment that they had killed two Ascended Golems in a matter of seconds, he knew that there would be casualties, but losing a Major, the other Ascended warrior here, had been unexpected.
