In the dark hours of night, the exigo trading post was the focus of a bloodmaim raid. Many fires were set, and the fatalities high on both sides. Before a coordinated defense could be established, the orcs retreated along all paths just as quickly as they came.
Many veterans know full well these tactics by orcs and the worry was, was that these hit and runs will continue until dawn, and due to the surprise of the first hit, they wouldn't be able to stand another. An off duty blackwood, and a couple of customers at the trading house took part in the defence and had taken the task in tracking down the rendesvous area of the orcs in order to stop or delay further attacks.
Knuckles were white, and teeth tense as those at the camp waited as night never seemed to end. There were dead to count and fires to deal with to pass the time, but the ferocity of the first attack had everyone on edge and the fear of the next was constant.
Dawn though crested bringing a heavy morning mist. No further attacks came and all breathed a sigh of a relief and began to tally the cost of the damages.
