Dwellers
The Dwellers wouldn't give up: they decided to try and take out the bullbeast in a combined effort.
The hurbeast didn't make it. The healer's attack clattered harmlessly against the giant pickaxe but the axe was enough to deal the beast its first wound.
Undead Vanguard
The sniper took out one of the cannon people.
"Darn yer eyes! Thawas my kill!"
Another shade darted off towards the necromancess' position.
The last one charged Skaie at breakneck speed.
The shiny blade struck into Skaie's strange shield, which hummed softly and brightened as it absorbed the damage.
The fight was ended as fast as it had started: Skaie's counterattack cut the shade in half.
Knights of Kerrat
Garth: "You were foolish to discard your guards so quickly!"
This was how close Garth's charge got to interrupting the necromancer's summoning.
Having used his action on the sprint, Garth couldn't make a direct assault. The two of them then prepared to duel. Skaie then rushed in as well, but his wasn't a charge weapon.
Master Phineus stands alone!
She had to roll a crit to succeed this one... and she did.
Skaie stopped dead in his tracks and prepared to defend against whatever would appear from the shadows as they jumped up in front of him.
She would have preferred to attack from behind but that would've meant she would have had to leave the way to Phineus open so she didn't.
Necromancess: "Fools! You do not know what you are interrupting with here!"
Phineus: "Stay calm. The dead have been stirred. There's nothing these mortals can do about it now."
(reinforcements will arrive, but later)

Yes. You must have written history with the most unlucky sprint roll ever though

Bulls
The Bullbeast, with nowhere else to go, decided to stand its ground. It wrecked the axeman with a mighty swing from the pickaxe.
The remaining Bulls then fell back on both flanks.
Crossbow fire covered their retreat: the sergeant was cut down by a series of succesful hits.
The general died the most disgraceful death imagenable fur a Bull warrior: weaponless and with his back to the enemy as we was falling back. The icons then called out to their master, lending him their power.
The remnants of Cales' Imperial forces braced themselves, for they knew what was to come.
The Great Bull's eyes lighted up red, filled with bloodlust.
It charged and caught the standard bearer and his horse on one of his massive arms.
It was a difficult shot, so you're getting it twice.
The horse died and absorbed very little of the damage, so the standard bearer was damaged also by plow through damage, but he survived the fall. He ended up disrupted though.
A wave of arrows from the second group of Bulls caught the charging furbeast.

Yes, yes, yes! My plan is complete!
BTW: How come I only had like 3 shadows do something that round?

You only had 4 to begin with, and one died last round to a spear being thrown. The remaining undead attacked Fat Olaf but narrowly failed to harm him.

Imperials
"We need air support NOW!"
...
"No! Of course I don't know what that means!"
A flyer with mages aboard entered the battle.
The elder had to keep the thing flying while the red mages fired spells on those below.
And they had to mind not to crash as well. (The feat narrowly failed with 5 to 6)
"Oh dear. This really doesn't seem to be my day... Now, if you'll excuse me," Cales said as he cast his phone off to the side and picked up a halberd.
The divine being was careless enough not to take defensive action against the little man attacking it, but Cales actually managed to hurt it.
And was then sent flying by the counter. His armour took the force of the blow and the fall well, though.
"That hurt..." (disrupted)
The Bodyguards charged maniacally, as they thought their marshal had just been killed.
And cut a bloody chunk from the Great Bull's leg with their combined assault. The deity roared out his frustration: if his followers were too weak to protect him, they weren't worthy of his presence, and he would take his leave.
But for now, the Great Bull would settle for smacking around the little humans a bit more. With his lesser arm he killed one bodyguard, who took the force of the blow, killing her, and sent the other flying (she took no damage).
Disrupted, but alive.
Not so alive.
Sharlena and the last gunner fired the cannon point blank at the swordsman standing in front of it. However at this range there was no time to turn the cannon so it could tear through them both.
An automatic hit from a cannon from this range is a bit much for a fig to absorb.

Are the mages from the flyer dead?

Cool flyer. Too bad it crashed so soon.

Yes, unfortunately. But a healer and a mage are still in play...
Water Demons
Red: "Raa! Ye shot ma brothr!"
Blue: "No wait. I 'ave a better idear!"
They grabbed the vacant cannon.
And shot the biggest target they could find. The Great Bull roared and collapsed, the water splashing around him as he fell.
It takes a hell of a damage roll to send even a lesser a god back to the netherworld.
However, he was of course not killed permanently, his temporary corporeal form was simply destroyed along with some of his power. Shadows consumed the body and it dissappeared without a trace.
Red: "Done with the pleasantries. Let's get on with the brawling."
Fat Olaf dropped his shield and prepared to do a sword dance. This meant he would circle around to attack all of the surrounding enemies at once. The consequence if he failed would be that he would be left defenceless.
He succeeded in cutting down two, but his blade finally stranded on the zombie phalanx's oversized but useful shield.
The officer saw where the most high-powered combat was going on and knew his place was there, so he armed himself accordingly.
But he grabbed his crossbow first to shoot down the lieutenant lagging behind.
"You're in the way!"
Crit fail: the bowstring snapped.
