Crossbowmen attempted to kill Fabian's horse, but failed to beat its armour.
The rest then charged as Weasle made a leap to knock the enemy lord down. Crossbowmen followed suit.
The phalanx killed a horse. The heavy missed.
Weasle succeeded in knocking Fabian down face into the mud, but his follow-up attack stranded on a knight who got in the way.
Karlus - Rev. Sylvanus
"Ghosts of the swamp, I command you deter these invaders!"
Putrid gas emitted from the swamp in front of Laura's forces.
Karlus then ran...
He got this far.
Laura's force - Paco the Duck Ninja
*cough* *cough* The force was severely delayed by the gas. The crossbowmen then aimed their bows at Fishstache's Royal Guard.
They stood their ground.
Fabian - RobotMonkey
Fabian climbed back onto his horse. "Charge men!"
"Pikes down!"
Seeing the cavalry begin to charge, Laura attempted to back them up with a speed spell, but failed.
Which wasn't too bad; the cavalry easily reached the fords by themselves. However...
Perhaps I didn't stress this enough.Sign-up thread wrote:There's also one terrain issue: since they're 'in a swamp' the cavalry can't charge across the blue zones or they'll drown. They can however move over slowly.
The horses disappeared into the swamp and two knights sunk like lead: the other two barely managed to crawl out.
The others had better luck and managed to cross the ford unharmed. Their devastating charge killed three chosen warriors and knocked three back.
Fabian, hardly noticing what he'd driven his men into, confidently charged the Titan. (nothing happened in the continued battle between the Bulls and the knights so I didn't bother to picture it)
Using the abilities possessing the blood of his House brought, he managed to leap up to Karlus' head, allowing him to land an attack against decreased armour and without a chance for the titan to respond. It took away one of his HP.
Since he got a crit, he was also allowed to land safely back on his horse.
Skaie's force - Napalmking
The infantry and Skaie saved their actions, the crossbowmen let loose a hail of bolts on the enemy missile troops.
Two were killed. Return fire (it's a new rule for ranged combat that works alike to counters I'm testing) killed no one.
Water Demons - Ogel96
Since it was now their turn, they had another go.
The Adlersflügel forces had the advantage of shields, and only one fell.
They returned fire, slaying another water demon.
The heavy swordsmen undauntedly marched into the wall of pikes. The Halberdiers had saved their actions so they got to strike first...
Two rounds of combat later everyone was still alive
Fishstache had begun to lead his Royal Guard around the melee.
Fat Olaf used his bodyweight to use 'cannonball'.
He slammed into the swamp water, creating a wave that drowned the knight's horses and knocked them on their backs.
The halberdiers advanced and took advantage of some of the stranded knights, slaying them.
The remaining chosen warriors picked themselves up and joined their commander, but couldn't attack just yet.
