After Aura had disclosed the information to the leader of the highway men, Jørmund called upon Tharmekhûl to steady his own resolve and strengthen the steel of his mail. The earthen cleric knew he would rather lead the charge however his talents would likely served in the ranks. With another short incantation Jørmund bestows a short term enchantment on his mace in an attempt to give his own weapon a more solid strike. He nodded to his companions and began to run towards the front line.

By the time Jørmund had arrived at the front lines, many of the highway men had organized into a rough formation. It was moments later when the first of the line of attackers had arrived in their own semblance of a formation and began the attack. It seemed as though several of them recognized Jørmund as the northman, as the started to beeline towards his location in the ranks. Three of the fanatics had barely reached the cleric before they started to draw back into a vicious swing. Jørmund was able to catch one with his shield, the second and third however both landed and nearly threw him off balance. Fortunately there were a few nearby highway men who fell upon the fanatics while the were focused on Jørmund.

Quickly the forge cleric swung his mace at the enemy in front of him. The strike was enough to send the being sprawling on the ground unmoving. [Color=khaki]"You think I, Jørmund Hammerfist, will be so easy bring down!? Fool you are for thinking so. Even you're leaders cower behind you! You will find no honor here only cold steel. Drop you weapons and flee."[/color] The words roared from the earth genasi as he stepped over the fallen foe toward the next foe in front of him. Looking to his left he noticed two of the highway men laying on the ground wounded but still alive. [Color=khaki]"Both of you stand. This battle is not over yet. Stand with me and fight on.[/color]

The melee that ensued from here forward was a blur to the cleric. Parts of it he would only remember due to Aura's hawk coming down to relay information in regards to the locations of enemy maneuvers near his small formation. Each time he made sure to thank hawk and Aura for their assistance.

Jørmund used healing word on the two highway men allies to get them back on their feet.
