during their trek, the group entered the small town of shallows, a small (approximately 120 people and a local wizard) prosperous community. it was during this time, that while out on patrol, one of shallows militia teams encountered a large force of orcs and was slaughtered, with only one survivor managing to escape and hide. the lone survivor then sped back to shallows and told of the orc force. when the attack began on the town, wulfgar was charged with holding an entire section of the towns defensive wall, with regis, bruenor and his dwarves, the towns militia holding the rest(drizzt had been unable to get inside the walls before the assault began), while withegroo the wizard and the towns archers (catti-brie among them) firing over the walls from the top of his tower in the center of the town. he performed admirably, holding the wall against the massive force of 1000 orcs. repelling grapplers and sweeping aside those few who crested the wall, wulfgar was unmovable, even after countless hours when exhaustion began to set in. unfortunately many townspeople still fell during the first assault, due to the 10 frost giants who tirelessly hurled boulders against their defenses. when the first assault ended, it left a third of shallows defenders dead, and many more orcs. unfortunately, after the last push by bruenor and his dwarves to clear out the orcs from in front of shallows main gates, he fell unconscious, having sustained many blows that would have felled a lesser dwarf. during this time, regis left to try to make his way to one of the dwarven outposts. when the attack began again, the defenders once again managed to hold their fortifications against the invasion. unfortunately, bruenor's second in command, dagnabbit, fell before it even started, when a giant thrown boulder struck withegroo's tower where he stood shouting commands to his forces, killing him and three other dwarves. after the second assault was fended off, the towns walls lay in rubble and many more defenders had fallen, wulfgar, catti-brie, withegroo and their depleted forces emerged from the rubble and managed to stave off the last attack. after withegroo cast his last fireball ever and killed many more orcs, wulfgar stood unmovable against the sea of orcs that swept against them, and continued to swing his hammer until the press lessened, leaving him and the defenders confused as to why it had stopped. a large wooden idol of gruumsh one-eye was then rolled in to the orc encampment by a caravan of odd orcs and pack animals. when the idol began to open the orcs crowded around, and were slaughtered by the emerging gutbusters.. the orcs and pack animals then threw off their druid enchanted cloaks, revealing themselves as regis, the bouldershoulder brothers and a small force of dwarves.

during this time, guan yu had a standoff with lu su at yiyang, where he planned to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to cross the upstream shallows at night. in response, lu su ordered gan ning to lead 1,000 troops to guard their side of the shallows. guan yu did not dare to cross the shallows and instead ordered his men to make camp on their side. the shallows were thus named 'guan yu's shallows' (關羽瀨).
