A dozen bufon soldiers stand-off against twenty Ul-kari. A barricade of furniture and stone divide the chamber's north and south sides blocking the bufon advance. The fishfolk lob a constant barrage of stones and javelins to the south over the wall. The bufon's dead lie in covered rows on the sides of the room. The highest ranking bufon commander, Erkik, was promoted to his position yesterday when his commanding officer was killed by javelin. He is paranoid and overwhelmed declaring any non-amorous arriving from the south as "a fishfolk sneak attack" and ordering his men to attack, half of whom obey the order.
