There is a lot of feinting, parrying, and testing and the two-sides size each other up. Ogre-Zem is clearly a match for the great bugbear, and Leudigar has proved himself a deadly foe to hobgoblins. After a brief lull, it's on again; Zem and the bugbear trade blows, with the dwarf-ogre suffering 4 hp in the proceedings, but delivering a staggering head-hit that--somehow--doesn't slaying him! Leudigar, likewise, scores a non-fatal hit on his opponent.
Meanwhile, in the Bleakmass Tree room, Dopey the hobbet has located a black hobgoblin hand-axe, a curved knife, and a riveted cudgel. All are distinctly wicked look about them.
