The battle at Arnow Ridge

 After his defeat at Wich, the Ogre Mazrug, accompanied by the surviving members of his Orc band, fled into the wilderness of Nordland. Ten leagues North of the Barony of Bleakmoore, at the end of a line of hills, lay the ruins of the Castle named Arnow. Here Mazrug made camp. 

It was here that the Baron and his men found the Ogre.

Mazrug, his Orc band and some Goblin Cavalry he has collected await the Baron

and finally defeated

And so the Baron of Bleakmoore avenged the fallen of Wich. 
The Baron's force started with a numerical advantage that I thought that they'd need in attacking a semi-fortified structure. Even though they suffered some casualties the dice favoured the Baron, including some extraordinarily skillful archery from the bowmen on the left flank who fired incredibly accurately into the castle ruins.
