To have them on the run is itself a triumph! But the cost....

Author Reply: Every war has a cost. :(

Suspense is making me ache to know the outcome!

Author Reply: Step by step, week by week...
Thank you so much for the review!

Well, they're in, at least. Love the cantrips--great obstacles!

Author Reply: Well, the dwarves have to use *everything* they can. And even that way, it won't be easy.
Thank you for the review, dear!

What a horrific, but very logical, trap. I'm so relieved every time we know that Darri is safe!

Author Reply: Don't worry, I will not kill the main characters. That is, POV characters :)
But... be prepared. Darri's father is not the only named character who does not survive the war. I think it's more realistic that way.
Thank you so much. *hugs*

Great chapter, I like the suspense! Hot grease and water is a vile move. :( These Orcs are quite smart. But they also should be, with all kinds of nasty things, devised to kill and cause pain...

Author Reply: At first, I wrote water and oil - I did it automatically, without thinking. I mean, in our everyday life, we know that hot oid and water are bad combination, and that if the oil catches fire, we must not extinguish it with water. But then a friend warned me that the probability for the orcs having the oil is very small, but that they would probably have grease (from the animals - from the game they catch). That surely made more sense.

Thank you for the review and the compliments! :)

What a sweet reunion. :)

As passionate as the Dwarves are to recapture their homeland, it can only be hoped that, paying such a high price, they ultimately feel that this effort has been worthwhile.

Author Reply: The price must be high, there is no other way to achieve the goal, but... you will see in the end! :)
Thank you so much! :*

Ouch... Not good (for the Dwarves, I mean). :( Overconfidence has its price. The Orcs devised a good plan. Waiting eagerly what happens next!

Author Reply: Well, I had to complicate Dwarves' lives a little bit, didn't I? *grins* And I did it again, and again...
At least Durin learned the lesson!
Thank you for the review, dear!

Hi here's my review.

Disbelief. Suspense. Waiting for next chapter.

Author Reply: In a week ;)

Now we are in the part of the story that we can dub "empire strikes back"... I mean, the orcs, the orcs!!! :)))

Thank you!

Such a clever, and devastating, attack. You describe this tragedy beautifully.

Author Reply: Well, the orcs used what they had at hand. I didn't describe it in the story, but I imagine that those rocks (that the orcs used) were there from long time ago - who knows, maybe even back from the age of the dwarves? Maybe the dwarves used/needed them for something, and when they were banished, the rocks remained. And the orcs used them.

We knew it wouldn't be easy for the dwarves.

Thank you, dear. :*
