Mucko's Flight and Desperate Resolve

After fleeing Lithuanian horsemen and abandoning his supplies, Mucko persuades his companions to risk an honorable death by secretly attacking the enemy at night, succeeding in killing them and seizing their arms and horses.

The same Mucko went out at another time with a few bandits against the unbelievers, and when he had come into the wilderness, he saw several horsemen from Lithuania, and becoming terrified at their numbers and strength, he threw off from his shoulders his food and drink, and whatever could weigh him down, and with his companions he fled and escaped. After this had happened, the same Mucko, troubled after much deliberation, said to his companions: We must die of hunger, because we have no food. Therefore, Gonsulo, let us die honorably. Let us follow Hos tes our men, and let us see if we can accomplish something against them. When this had pleased all of them, they advanced secretly at night, and killed them all, leading away their arms, horses, and whatever other things they had with them.
