While the group pauses to discard 'trash' loot, Mr. Collins suddenly falters and admits he has a confession. He reveals—and the others realize—that he used the legendary Wind Ear to sense an orc ambush ahead. Collins seizes control: Will forms a defensive line and Mike scouts forward. As the team braces, Collins drops his restraint. "Guys! Attack!" he orders, and an assault erupts. The team is stunned by the sudden offensive, leaving the immediate battle underway and the outcome unresolved as the group rushes into chaos.
