Horrendous Game Changer

Book excerpt: A harrowing battle against the Lords leaves the Rungans without weapons or supplies. Colm splits the tired Rungan warriors into two groups. As both make the climb to the summit, the Lords begin their pursuit. The Lords discover that they are not well suited for the climb or the cold, and their calls for reinforcements are met with confusion and catastrophe. Still, they too create two groups and each pursues the Warrior groups up the mountain. Halfway up, they decide to camp out and wait for the Warriors to run out of supplies and return to the ground and right into their hands. Though they believe they can wipe them out, the Lords instead wish to use the Rungans, to turn them against the Spears with false promises. Before these promises can be heard, however, the Warriors plan their victory, using their knowledge of the forest to their advantage, making weapons out of nature in an overwhelming defeat of the Lords.
