The Dwarf stood there, eyes stern and beard bristling with barely suppressed violence. Even with his armor on, he had managed to get the jump on a few of them. Now whether or not he would need to cleave them into bits was their choice, though in truth the Dawi did not think he would need to hold back from the way things had been shaking up. He noticed a halfling practically pissing himself shuddering and stepping to the side. It would be comical to the halfling's companion, because the Dawi would be eyeing his every move as he sidestepped, clearly trying to gain a sneaking advantage that seemed an exercise in futility. 

The violence the Dwarf had predicted did erupt, but not in the way he had expected. A braying noise filled the woods, and the familiar sound of grunting and hoofbeats reverberated off the trees. "Grimnir's wrath," Balgrim cursed, giving his previous foes a glare before yelling a warcry and practically pummeling his way out of the roots and brush to enter the fray. The first Ungor out of the remaining 10 did not see his demise, only felt a terrible ripping in its collarbone as Balgrim eviscerated the beast of chaos. 

The young Brettonian looked like he had made a good accounting for himself so far. It seemed some manlings did have skill and honor, as the histories had stated. Two of the beasts lay dead with precise cuts in their bodies, and the squireling's blade was bloodied. A beastman leaped at Balgrim, but the thickly muscled Dwarf grabbed it by the throat before it even landed. The Longbeard then began to squeeze, and the air and life began to leave the Ungor as it kicked futilely. A second attacked Balgrim as he crushed the windpipe of this spawn of Chaos. 

Its axe hacked at the Dwarf's armor, barely penetrating and nearly bouncing off the Dwarf. "Ye think ye can get the jump on me, ye sorry excuse fer cattle!?" Balgrim headbutted the thing, bloodying its snout as he began to cleave into its stomach, intoning prayers to Grimnir as he continued, a veritable armored tank, fueled by booze rather than steam.
