Shoot whatever beastman seem to be the most threat to the battle line.

[TopHat]

Observe the main battle from the relative safety of the doorway. Deal with any beastmen breaking off towards me.
Also ask if any of the citizens happen to be a doctor. You never know.

[scapheap]

Bash a way back to my fellows

[Stas]

Turn 2

Without further guidance from their commander, the legionnaires stick to their formation and let the beastmen come to them.

Impassively, you continue your onslaught, every strike of your flail spreading pain and death. Seeing you as a bigger threat the beastmen begun to swarm you. One managed to land a hit with its club which glanced off your armour. Suddenly the beastman immediately in front of you was lifted off the ground by a powerful strike from a hammer. Your gaze settled on a large man with brutish features wearing legionnaire armour. You must have reconnected with one of yours, or rather the other way around.

Still at the vanguard, you shout words of encouragement and begin to direct the troops. LEADER + High roll : You are a natural! Under your command the legionnaires begin to rout the enemy. Your involvement does not go unnoticed and the beastmen begin to to concentrate their attack where you are, probably in the hopes of killing the leader, you.
Their onslaught, while ferocious, was no match to the discipline displayed by the legion and they were pushed back, you killed one yourself. Alas you had no time to celebrate your success, a thick-shafted arrow struck your shoulder with such force that it knocked your off your feet. The last thing you saw before darkness consumed your vision was the blue sky above.
Outcome: Success(ish) (+2 due to LEADER)

Ox

As much as they tried to swarm you, there was no containing you. Your hammer arcing around you with a savage grace, you sent them back to their unholy maker. Your bloody path, paved with broken bones, led you back to your fellow legionnaires. After knocking a beastman off it's hooves you ended up face to face with a tall legionnaire holding a bloody flail. His serene gaze met yours.

Your bolts fly true, downing a beastman before it even connected to the battle formation. OBSERVANT: You notice another bull-like beastman drawing an obscenely large bow, quickly estimating where he is aiming you assume it to be the legionnaire gesturing as if giving orders. You shoulder your crossbow and fire, while your bolt hits the beastman, it does not stop it from loosing the arrow and you see the legionnaire collapse. Your best hope is that the way it flinched when your bolt hit it affected the beastman's aim.

You look on, watching the main battle unfold. While the beastmen charge was mighty, it broke under the combined effort of the legionnaires. OBSERVANT: You notice a legionnaire directing the battle from the front line. You also notice another legionnaire wearing the commander's mantle sneaking away from the battle and into the town's back alleys.
You ask the townsfolk around you if any of them could be a healer. Your question is met with silence, they had run off through the back door which now stood ajar, giving you a glimpse into the alleyway behind the house.
YOU ARE STILL AWAY FROM THE MAIN BATTLE, NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE NOTICED YOU, LEGIONNAIRE OR BEASTMAN.
Outcome: Success (+1)
Status: 1/0/1/1 Fracture (-1 DMG)

The last of the beastmen turned tail and ran, the 9th legion stood in the small plaza, victorious, but there were many more beastmen in the town still. Smoke was rising in two places, where the docks were and where the regional governor's mansion was along with administrative buildings and the homes of regional nobles.
Commander Lukevic is nowhere to be found.
The corpses of legionnaires and beastmen litter the plaza.

WHICH WAY SHOULD THE LEGION GO? WHO SHOULD LEAD THEM? 

_{Sorry for no pictures, I didn't have the time.}

[scapheap]

Ox give a nod to his fellow legionnaire, he believe it to be Gregory, but he so covered in blood, Ox is not sure.

He turn toward regional governor's mansion and give a rallying cry to follow him

[Aseaheru]

Owen glances towards where the hit legionnaire stood, before reloading and following the Ox.

[NAV]

Gregory returns Ox's nod then follows him. If he sees any beastmen, then continue to be a whirlwind of death.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Hope for another medic!

[TopHat]

Pursue and confront the deserting commander Lukevic.

[Stas]

Turn 3

Following the rallying cry of Ox, the legion began making its way deeper into the town; towards the part of town where the nobles resided. The main street was eerily quiet and the legionnaires proceeded carefully, Ox bearing his hammer at the front of the column. The soldiers of the legion had apparently chosen to follow him as their leader, whether it was just confusion in the heat of battle, or that they truly saw Ox as the one who should be in charge of the situation was still to be seen.
The silence was broken by a savage battle cry and, while at first only one or two beastmen began to run towards them, a whole horde of fur and iron came crashing towards the formation.

Not akin to a mountain you barred the way for the beastmen. Their charge stopped dead, quite literally, at your feet. Every swing of your hammer brought swift death to your enemies, breaking skulls, ribs, and limbs alike. The legionnaires, led by your battle cry, began to gain ground and move forward. Not once was a beastman fast enough to strike you.

You followed the large legionnaire deeper into the town. It did not take long for the legion to reengage battle. You only managed to fire one shot from your crossbow, unsure of whether or not it had hit before realizing that there was no way to fire without hitting fellow legionnaires. To remedy this you stood atop an abandoned cart. OBSERVANT: Once you had a better vantage point something caught your eye far behind enemy lines: a gnarled old goat-like beastman holding what appeared to be a stone tablet. You had only noticed him after he had raised it above his head.
You decided to take the shot and shouldered your crossbow. For a moment you ignored the world around you. No longer hearing the screams and the clash of metal you could devote yourself to the task at hand. You took a deep breath. Aimed. Twang! You held your breath for what felt like an eternity and only exhaled once you saw the beastman fall to the ground. You could see several beastmen flock to the fallen on and dragging it away.

Gregory

You stayed close to Ox when he began to lead the men deeper into Vanth, and thus were in the vanguard when the beastmen came down on the legion. Your flail became the last thing many of them saw before death took them.

Rufus

You left the house shortly after most of the legion had begun to follow a brutish legionnaire deeper into the town. Your brisk step became a run once you had made it over the corpses and through the plaza. While chasing the commander through the alley ways of Vanth you began to realize that he was headed towards the docks, no doubt to try and make it onto a ship or even just a canoe that would allow him to escape the city. You did not know the layout of the city beyond the main streets, but took comfort in the belief that Commander Lukevic knew no more than you.
It was confirmed once you caught up to him in a dead end. He turned to face you, sword in hand. "What are you... Why aren't you...!?" He stopped and considered you, what ever conclusions he drew seemed to please him for he now smiled at you. "I will not die here, bleeding out with the rest of your dirty peasants! What ever reward you think-..." He sniffed loudly. "I will not let you soil the name of the Lukevics. None shall know of my dishonour." He raised his sword higher.

Thud! You were shocked awake by something striking the side of your helmet. Your vision was hazy and you became nauseous. Instinctively you rolled to your side, hoping not to vomit all over yourself. As your purged yourself onto the pavement your eyes focused on a legionnaire disappearing into an alley.
You laid in the plaza, among the dead, for a short while before slowly sitting up. Around you was the aftermath of a carnage and no living being other than yourself was in sight. As you sat and slowly recollected yourself you realized that there was a thick arrow protruding from your shoulder, while you couldn't pull it out and deal with it properly you had to settle for a simpler solution: Breaking off the arrow and bandaging around the remaining shaft, luckily it hadn't completely gone through.
You finally stood up, using your spear to support yourself, and took a better look around you, you remembered the legionnaire which had ran off into the alley, but beyond that knew little of where the others had went.

SOMEWHERE FROM WITHIN THE TOWN, A HORN WAS BLOW AND THE BEASTMEN BEGAN TO RETREAT SLOWLY, FURTHER GIVING WIND TO THE RAMPAGING LEGIONNAIRES.

[Aseaheru]

Take the shot.

[Stas]

I am surprised that you are all still alive and pulling off some pretty hard rolls.
Good job.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Head into the alleyway after that legionnaire.

[Aseaheru]

Reload and fire at whatever seems to be the most danger to the line.

[NAV]

The beastmen really don't stand a chance. Keep killing.
