(OOC note: I'm going to make it clear now that I was refering to the left and right flank from Stegeth's point of view, so it may be a bit confusing for the readers, because their left is Stegeth's right (vice versa). From now on, I shall refer to them as Eastern flank, and Western flank.)
You grab the remaining spear dwarf and yell at him to gather reinforcements. The dwarf salutes and runs off.
You bellow at the western flankers to close in on the enemy. You call out to the marksdwarf in front of you to attempt to take out the troll.
The speardwarves lower their shields and advance steadily. The marksdwarves begin to aim at the troll within the mass of goblins, each firing a aimed shot.
The two bolts fly through the masses... (OOC: The two lines on the bottom right)
One hits the goblin holding the chain in the arm, tearing through the shield. The other hits the troll through the right wrist, sending a spray of cyan blood spraying. The trolls lets loose a bellow, grabs the injured goblin and chucks a speedball at the offending marksdwarves.
It sails through the air, past the heads of the goblins.
And crashes into a marksdwarf.
The goblin explodes into gore...
... and the marksdwarf flies a few feet back, then tumbles into the ground, unconscious.
You turn to first lieutenant Bomrek and tell him to press against the ambushed eastern flank (your right flank, Stegeth's left flank). He hefts his war hammer over his shoulder and nods, and moves to the eastern flank. The situation there has worsened.
The lasher that has thrown the dagger snaps his whip at the kneeling marksdwarf, cutting through the throat. The marksdwarf falls face first into the snowy grass.
The other lasher's mount performs a coup de grace upon the webbed marksdwarf by ripping his arm off and silencing his scream by curb stomping his head with a front leg.
The first lieutenant arrives right after. The goblin snaps his whip, which the lieutenant blocks. He smashes his hammer at the goblin's leg while dodging a snap by the spider. The goblin groans and falls off, and has his skull caved in by a hammer blow. Bomrek faces off the spider.
However, you see one of the spear dwarf pounced and attacked by two of the goblin lashers, of whom he stands no chance against. He is quickly brought down. A group of goblins break from the center and charge the remaining spear dwarf from behind.
You briefly consider charging into the center, but realize the risk of the troll, as well as the reinforcements arriving without anyone commanding them is too great. After all, the center is held by sturdy axedwarves, who are more than able to hold their own.
(OOC: I'm using this:
