Ascertaining their general position was easy; visible were The Vents to the east and Overlook to the northeast. The Nexus was located almost directly underneath the headwaters of the Elsir River, at the eastern base of The Hammer, one of the three major peaks in the region. Heading north by northwest the party soon caught The Dwarfroad, which they took the rest of the way west to Bordrin's Watch.

Durkik lamented the loss of Kalad, but praised his name as his sacrifice may have tipped the tides of war to the favor of peoples of the Elsir Vale. By description only, scouts confirmed that it was Tusk and his shadar-kai mistress, Myrissa that were slain in The Nexus chamber. Durkik revealed that Tusk's horde had recently mobilized and would soon be within sight of Bordrin's Watch. Word of what had transpired in The Nexus had likely also reached the enemy and they were on their way to make their attack.

The enemy entered artillery and arrow range, and the forces of Bordrin's Watch made good of the high ground and opened fire first. Almost immediately a volley or arrows returned and rained down atop the battlements of the keep. Blake and few clerics from Brindol saw to the wounds of those caught by arrow fire. The adventurers and their crews helped sight in the artillery for maximum effect, assisted artillery crews to more rapidly fire, and to apply temporary magic enchants to the artillery's ammunition to better sway the battle to their favor.

The adventurers and their crews made busy tending to the wounds of those caught by the massive firefight, shouting powerful and demoralizing words from the the top of the battlements down to the enemy below, and channeling power to amplify the potency of spells cast by the battlemages. Rock and some other stout dwarfs set to buttressing the gate doors. Multiple cauldrons of boiling oil were poured upon the enemy horde, particularly those that were attempting to break open the gate doors.

Soon the entire force was fleeing; attempts to have the troops stand their ground was met with the same violence the orog commanding officer received. All this while the forces of Bordrin's Watch continued to rain death, both magical and mundane, upon the horde. As they ran, the dwarfs and their allies let out victorious shouts; horns sounded and resounded through the pass. Once again, the orcish hordes were reminded of why they stay clear of Bordrin's Watch and the Elsir Vale that it guards.

The party returned to Overlook; the city celebrated all those that were present at the siege of Bordrin's Watch, particularly the Deathbringers. The party was more than satisfactorily compensated for their services, and was once again offered a moment of rest from the perils they had faced. The city as a whole rejoiced the victory and its populace rested content with the belief that they were now safe. But what was a dark creeper doing with orc forces? What could be discovered about the key he was carrying? There also was the sending stone recovered from the body of Jen. There was more happening here than just a centuries old blood feud between dwarfs and orcs.
