THE KURGAN SHALL REFRAIN FROM BATHING THE PUNY GOBLINS IN FLAME FOR NOW, ONLY STEPPING UP AND FIRING IF GAPS APPEAR IN THE SHIELDWALL.

HE SHALL ROAR HIS MIGHTY BATTLE CRY TO RAISE MORALE.

Yes, every combat post made by The Kurgan shall be in all caps.

Just need Flying Dice's turn now.

Hold fire unless the line breaks. Watch for targets of opportunity.

Turn 3 - The line is Solid - Engineers will have Palisades in One Turn -

Xantolos
The line holds valiantly as the human soldiers beat back wave after wave by the skin of their backs, and you continue to patiently wait for something bad to happen. Tl'zurr seems uneasy and shifts his weight from foot to foot, but whatever he has to say he keeps it to himself.

killerhellhound - Burst ready on Turn 4
You head over to this latest breach and torch it. The goblins flee as their comrades burst into flames and run about screaming.

GreatWyrmGold
The line holds and you deign to save your fuel for when it is most needed.

kj1225
Gazo gives you an evil grin. About time. I'm right behind you!

You march up to the line. An orc in the second rank signals those currently fighting and makes way for you. They wait until you've finished activating your rune, then the lead orcs' shields part just enough for you to let off a blast and sweep it back and forth momentarily. The flame stays hot just until it leaves the barrel, then turns a bright white colour that stings your eyes and continues jetting forward, licking at the terrified goblins' heels as they run into and clamber over one another in a feeble attempt to escape. The burst engulfs more than twenty goblins entirely, turning them to statues, frozen where they stood in poses of terror and agony as they desperately tried to flee. About ten others only caught some of the blast, and they're left with crippling injuries. You see not a few goblins with weapons frozen into their hands, and several limping away after one of their legs was turned into a block of ice. After this horrifying display of force the remaining goblins that are still fit to fight begin to back away slowly, and you can hear them mumbling fearfully as they watch your flamethrower with wide eyes.

Harden will be ready again on Turn 5.

Flying Dice
You ignore the dwarf and continue watching out for any stray goblins. No more break through, though Wexdarn does go around finishing off a few that were only wounded.

The goblin regulars are mounting a full retreat!
The survivors are subsequently executed by their officers as punishment!
The traitor elf elites fall back to join the second wave!
The second wave begins its advance in earnest, but they don't seem to be in a hurry!
There is a lull in the fighting and the next turn has no combat!

Take a look out into the area to see if there's any thing I can use while there's time. Then return to my position and wait for the next wave if I found nothing.

GreatWyrmGold · « **Reply #50 on:** June 27, 2013, 10:11:58 pm »

Wait for the storm...and look for what caused the calm.

Keep an eye on the elves.

Xantalos · « **Reply #51 on:** June 27, 2013, 10:20:55 pm »

The Kurgan bellows with laughter and claps his friend on the shoulder.
What troubles you, friend? Look how the cowards run! Ahahahaha!

Boisterously wait for the next combat bit.

opening the chamber to let his flamer cool Mark turns to halls "You alright, you're covered in blood."
(Opening the chamber is my role play of the standard cool off when not using the flamer)

Flying Dice · « **Reply #53 on:** June 27, 2013, 11:40:24 pm »

Stand around, look faintly bored.

Turn 4 - Second Wave - The line is Solid - Palisades have been erected! - Engineers will have Murder Holes in Two Turns -

Xantolos
You holler and bluster, but Tl'zurr doesn't seem to be much reassured. In fact he looks downright unimpressed, but again, he wisely chooses to keep his mouth shut.

killerhellhound - Burst is ready again!
You don't think it would be wise to crack it open when the enemy could attack at any time and risk rendering yourself defenceless, so instead you raise the rod housing the ignition and rest it against one shoulder. You ask Halls if he's okay. He nods, cleaning his blade against his leggings.

GreatWyrmGold
The goblin force was a small one, mere skirmishers to wear you down. You search for the traitor elves, but you can't seem to find them amongst the teeming mass of twisted and drooling beasts. It strikes you as odd that they aren't on the front line again, and you doubt they would have withdrawn. Could they be up to something?

kj1225 - Harden ready on Turn 5
You see equipment scattered around left by fallen soldiers, but nothing you could conceivably need. You're on your way back to your assigned position when you spot a fallen goblin shaman buried beneath several corpses, and you turn them aside in order to get a closer look. You check through his robes and find an odd bone totem hung around his neck by a thin leather string. You pull it off and peer at the strange etchings, then pocket it. Acquired a Strange Talisman!

Flying Dice
You sigh to yourself. The dwarf comments. Not much of a battle, hey? They only lasted about a minute with us. Heh! He spits on the ground and loads more shells into his rifle.

The second wave arrives!
The line holds as the goblin elites crash into your forces!

You can now suggest what the engineers should build next! Ask for things and I'll tell you how many turns it should take! Also I'll be showing rolls from now on!

kj1225 · « **Reply #56 on:** June 28, 2013, 12:03:27 am »

Get close to the front line. If they appear to be having trouble then flame on.

Xantalos · « **Reply #57 on:** June 28, 2013, 12:03:42 am »

THE KURGAN DOES AS BEFORE - HE WAITS TO SEE IF ANY SOLDIERS ARE BEING KILLED IN A PARTICULAR PART OF THE LINE; IF THERE ARE HE GOES OVER AND BARBEQUES THE ELVES AS THEY GO THROUGH.
...
I dunno what the engineers should build.
Archer towers, maybe?

killerhellhound · « **Reply #58 on:** June 28, 2013, 12:22:53 am »

I look for more trouble spots to flame and ready myself.
(My suggestion dig a trench to slow them down and give our troops a height advantage we can also dump fuel in it for a powerful fire)

GreatWyrmGold · « **Reply #59 on:** June 28, 2013, 07:01:38 am »

((The trench sounds good.))

"Where did the elves go?"
Point out their absence to those nearby who aren't actively involved in, you know, the whole fighting thing.

Fire at the enemy as needed.
