Marreth watched Hilde slip on the ice and fell on the ground. This momentary distraction was the perfect opportunity to launch the attack. Marreth and his men rushed toward Hilde, only to be blocked by a ring of Lossoth.

Marreth began thrusting his sword at the Snowmen, but they were able to parry his jabs. Try as he might, it did not look like he was going to be able to reach Hilde. He needed to find a new way to somehow get the Elves to release her. Marreth was not the only one to have trouble, his crew did not seem to be having much success. He selected one particular Lossoth in the middle of the circle and began attacking him. Maybe if that Lossoth was killed it would provide a hole through which the Corsairs might be able to slip through and rescue Hilde.

Marreth’s blows descended swiftly upon the Snowman who backed up with every lunge. Finally the rapier sliced through the Lossoth’s stomach and he fell over dead, his blood trickling out onto the snow. But just as he fell, another one of his comrades who had been standing behind him stepped forward to take his pace. And so Marreth began his attack once more against his new adversary. Try as he might, Marreth was simply not able to break through. He would have to find another way or Hilde was certain to end up behind bars.
