By Talos, what did he do to deserve this? 

Hralvar snarled as he sidestepped a jab from a scorpion's stinger before thrusting his sword through the scorpion. Whirling around, he set two more alight with flame as he stood back to back with one of Harding's sailors for a moment, both of them desperately fending off attacks from the beasts. 

"Nine Divines, how many of these are there?!" He bellowed in frustration as he sliced a scorpion's stinger off before ramming an ice spike into it. "Knowing our luck, we stumbled on a nest of the bloody things!" 

"Cub, Hravlar! Give me a hand here!"

Hralvar glanced to the side at Marassa's call, seeing her outpacing the pirates that were supposed to be alongside her. Biting back a few choice words, he nonetheless rushed towards the khajiit as Cub did the same. 

While Cub proceeded to utterly butcher a scorpion, Hralvar covered Marassa from the side, blocking off two scorpions trying to approach her with a wall of flame that set them ablaze. 

"Damn it, girl!" He yelled at Marassa, annoyed that she even needed help in the first place. "Why in Oblivion did you break ahead of the line?"
