As Tyr brought his ax down, decapitating the enemy orc berserker, he felt something hit the back of his helm, and heard Silus shout something at him. Though the words were falling on deaf ears as, when Tyr turned he saw the orc captain charging straight for him. Setting his stance wide Tyr brought his body low and held the war-ax ready in his left hand. Bringing his shoulder back,  Tyr prepared to explode forward and hack at the enemy captain's sword-bearing arm, intending to lop the hand off and disarm his foe in one quick strike.

Tyr burst forward and swung his ax at the orc captain. The captain however, anticipated this and twisted his body and arm to deflect most of the blow. The amount of force behind Tyr's swing was still enough to cut the captain but he was in no risk of losing his hand at the moment.
