A powerful group including Grettir, Ivar Nickar and a bunch of lesser sorcerors all with the power of flight go out looking for trouble. They discover orc activity and track it back to a track up the side of a ravine in the mountains. They can see the ravine further up is spanned by a narrow rock bridge entering a large cave. To reach the bridge Grettir, Ivar and Huron have fight to a large number of Kur guards in strong defensive positions on the narrow path. After a few Kur are killed the remainder retreat to the bridge to take up a defensive position there. Thinking to outflank their position Nickar organises the flying magicians to take a warrior each and fly to the cave on the other side of the ravine. Unfortunately, when they arrive they find iron gates strongly barred against them. Having no means to break them down and fearing a counter attack in their rear fom the force on the bridge were they to contrive to do so, the party reluctantly decide to break off the attack.
They take their frustrations out on a large band of Ogres they encounter on their way home.
