Her husband's squire and the Umber exchanged savage blows. It was an odd sight, the boulder-like clansman clashing against the tall giant who towered nearly a head and a half above him. Only a few glancing strikes managed to bounce off their armour, and they seemed equally matched for two minutes. But with a fierce cry, Edwyle's greatsword managed to break the shaft of Torrhen's axe, and it seemed like the Lord of Last Hearth would win. But the clansman managed to smack away the greatsword's next strike with his gauntlet and tackled his foe to the ground. A ferocious struggle ensued, but a minute later, Torrhen stood up while Edwyle Umber lay on the ground, passed out and nose bloodied.
