Lines can be really different from copy to copy of the book which has this poem. You will need to be a little more specific which battle you are referring to.

grendel and heorot

It was pretty successful. Grendel broke into Heorot at night and killed thirty danes. He drank their blood and brought their head shome as trophies. Not bad for a monster's night out!
