The last battle...(RP)
Several days of hard marching thorough the underground network made by the Xel'ul Ze'thul the last great arachnid king has led the army of <name> in the least likely of places.
The Bull Bluffs, home to the Moga, Cyclops and ,more importantly, the bulls. One of the most dangerous terrain known on land.
Rael Moth-wings over viewed the battle field. His elven eyes allowed him to pick out details. The land was rugged, the bone dry cliffs steadily gave way to grass that stretched across the green plains. Sand colored cliffs stretched behind them. He saw that the tunnels had really sped up their progress.
Bulls ran across the landscape, a cloud of dust rising in theyre wake
The tunnels had been dark and suppressing, with eerie architecture that made your spine crawl.
Everyone was contented to get a breath of real air for a change, and not the moldy, musty cavern air.
It had not been easy, trekking through Swamp Weed Ridge and getting into one skirmish after the other. The opposition had put up as many obstacles as they could in theyre way, several small battalions of goblins and wolves had ambushed them on the way through the swamps, and led a group of his men into quicksand.
Rael walked to an overlooking rock that jutted from the slope.
A great plateau was seen in the distance.
“This place hardly looks like an evil stronghold, what gives?” asked a dwarf next to his side.
Farther out it was plainly visible. The Forces of Darkness had arrived.
Raels heart sank. The reinforcements would not be arriving for at least some days.
“It looks like they have come to us...” said Rael moving his brown hair from his dark blue eyes.
“Tell the men to set up camp and start digging in, the reinforcements will be coming from behind us so we need to wait here before we can make a push on the enemies. I shall scout the area for high ground.” with that said Rael closed his eyes and spread his wings. They were made of thin tan material that closely resembles that of a moths. It gave him the ability to fly faster than birds and were less noticeable. Indeed in later years some would say that he was levitating over the battle field, because they could see no wings.

If one had a real good eyesight he could see two figures at the mountains.
Two humans wearing gray are standing on a ledge and looking at the newly arrived army.
"Is that them?", asks one, a man carrying a backpack.
The other one, a woman with flaming red hair that has been plaited as a crown on her head closes her emerald eyes for a while.
"Yes, without doubt.", her angelic face twitches and brings forth some of her darker features. "The leader's somewhere close."

A great force scoured over the plane. Hundredds of thousands of warrios of tens of different races and people were marching forward. Some marched in military formations, like the humans and the devils, others clung to eachother and walked in indistinguishable horde, like the orcs and trolls. No man has ever gathered a force so large and so diverse under one banner and it is so for a reason. The man who did this was no man, he was rumoured to be a demon or a God. Drogeroth the Daemon of the West is what they called him and he had come to take over the lands of the East to do the greatest battle this world has ever witnessed. His troops fought like one, which wasn't exactly like the opposition, yet his forces were chaotic for the most part.
It would ultimately come down to the individual strength of his soldiers and the intelligence of the commander. Somewhere near the rear of his lines, he was sitting on a throne, carried by grand ogres. His mere presence would scare lesser men. his generals were not lesser men, though...
They would be close to him, until the final warrior had died and they would return to gather the forces again and again. Drogeroth was a genius and a fox. He had fortified his position in bull bluffs and assigned his goblin commander to delay the eastern forces as much as possible. Zy'yk had been very succesful and his terrain had been in his favor. This terrain was rather without many obstacles, sadly enough. His forces would have to fight these men, one on one.
Drogeroth raised his hands. Several banners were raised and horns were blown to indicate that the army should halt here. "Borthor, head out with your lizardmen to kill any scout you encounter. Zy'yk, follow with your archrs and wolf riders to support him." a clear voice ordered. His eyes didn't move from one commander to another. they rather transfixed on one place in the distance. It almost seemed as if he dreamed, yet he was so alert of his environment. "Prepare battle stations, make camp, Zubluk, once Borgoth returns, I want you to take your cyclops and orc divisions to attack their flanks, if everything is alright. Understand?" he said before rising and stepping down his throne. The men who were clad in dark armour, and of whom no one was sure whether they were really men, had already started building a commander tent. In a matter of minutes, the tent was installed with several armed guards surrounding it. Other people started building their encampments to prepare for a long game of chess that Drogeroth directed.
Drogeroth smiled. Taking out the entire orc legions alone would at least take several days. He was pleased with the slaughter ahead. "Let the games begin." he said as he starting drawing maps and direct the movements of his commanders through the demonic magics he used since he started gathering his army. Several dwarves started preparing the siege weapons to bombard the battlefield.

Raels forces digged in and started fortifying the tunnel mouth.
A trench network lead down the slope. There was level after level after level of trench.
They would house the bulk of the ranged infantry.
Dwarves of the mountain, elves of the forest, all types of men.
The lowest levels of the trench would house the melee infantry.
Minotaurs, Boghoppers, and Werewolves.
On a hill further west and a little north of their position were going
to be the cavalry.
Centaurs, horsemen, Unicorns even.
The air suport was to arrive soon.
Rael had seen the scouts of the west, theyre wolves running like a black puff of smoke.
He was on his way back to the entrenchments to oversee the fortifications.

"Is his army as we expected?", the man asks in a serious voice.
"Yes, if we take him out the army will fall apart.", the red-crowned woman answers plainly. The man's face shows no emotion.
"Then that is what we must do.", a dark smile creeps on the woman's face.
"The demon can see us.", she opens her eyes that glow bright green for a while before gaining their usual emerald shade. "He has a keen eye.", a smirk on his face the man notes.
"Just as one would expect from him. He didn't get there just by looking pretty. He's bound to have more tricks up his sleeve than just some inherited magic.", the woman's face turns to one spelling out impending doom.
"That better not be a note about a certain traditional trait among women with the Icharian family blood."
"As if you could do anything about it even if it was...", a playful smile sneaks onto the woman's face as she draws a long wavy rapier from a plain holster strapped at her left side and points it to the man's chest.
"I dare you to test that theory Karev Icharian!", the man, Karev, drops his backpack revealing a medium-sized shield with a griffin embedded and the hilt of a sword. He draws the sword.
"I accept, Ilena of the Ichar."
They position themselves three meters away from each other and raise their swords. The woman, Ilena, is holding a rapier with a deep red hilt, a finely crafted finger guard decorated with sapphires and a long mithril blade with waves. Karev has a bastard sword with serrated mithril blade with a bloodinlet running in the middle and a hilt with diamond decorations at the tips. Even though the two dress rather casually it is obvious that they must be filthy rich to own swords of such craftmanship. Even kings would be green with envy with the way they glisten in the sun.

"You two break it up, if we start fighting ourselves we will never get this finished" said a bulky minotaur.
"I for one intend to fight for my freedom, i suggest you do the same."
All around them more magical creatures were appearing from the tunnel.
There were a few wizards in red robes with long white beards, majestic centaurs that caried lances and steel plated armor along with the baggage of the rest of the army, there was a jumpy boghopper that bounced excitedly.
"Your no longer figthing for yourself humans, youd better get used to it."

From a hill,three dwarves were standing and looking the actions of the army.One was in red robes with golden ornaments,the legendary Barvuidun the Wise.The two other dwarves were the legendary twins Beoingol and Deoinghol,the strongest berserkers of the dwarven realms.
"The battle will soon start"-said Barvuidun-"My men are few in number and the demon is a good strategist"
Burghol,knowing that the sage was mocking his enemies,laughed and said:
"Yeah,we risk our lives in this battle".
"I am serious this time,Beoingol,this battle will be the greatest history has seen.Drogeroth is preparing good and that pointy-ear elf,Rael is risking too much scouting."
In that moment,a third dwarf,Gonar Wolfbeard approached the sage,bowed and said:
"Sage Barvuidun,the army is ready"
"Good"answers the Sage"Good,Beoingol lead the infantry,Deoingol,lead the cavalry,Gonar make word to Rael Moth-Wings to lead the archery!Go,go,go!"
***Two hours later,in Barvuidun's tent***
"Rael,position the archery in the top of that hill in square formation.Beoingol will give some troops to Gonar so that Wolfbeard leads 200 footsoldiers that will protect the archers.Deoingol with the cavalry will position in 3 parts,wich will be led by Karev & Ilena.Karev will position the left flank with unicorns,Ilena the right with centaurs and humans will be divided between the 2 parts.You will have the dwarven bear riders down hill,while your brother's infantry will stay behind them.Use the charge tactics,but never let to be set in middle.I will have the mages,when the air force of griffins and dragons arrives,Rael will position the archers to mount the griffins while I and my mages will mount the dragons!GO!"

"I'm... in... love! It's... it's more than just... love... it's...", said Ivan whispering while he was sitting on the ground covered with young green grass. Pure and clean, but everyone who was looking on it now just know... it's a matter of day or two untill this place turn into a meet kibbler.
"My dear... oh, honey... my lovely and only true love...", Ivans moustaches were hanging like thick black wicks above his beloved one... hm..., "You stay here, my love", his eyes were shining and showing great excitement, "I wont leave you, I'll watch over you all day long... as much it's necessary", his right hand was caressing the body in front of him, the metal body of the his last invention. He named it "Lady Kaboom". "Now you're ready for it, when the cavalry, the infantry... who cares... cross this land...", Ivan did not even knew that he was screaming in this moment, "Kaaabooom! Hahaha!" "Don't play with matches while I'm not here, darling!", Ivan covered the mine hasty with dirt and some grass, "Hahaha!
Now he was ready... to wait...

"DARE SPEAK TO THE ICHAR AGAIN AND THINE HEAD SHALT WATCH OVER THE BATTLE SEPARATE OF THINE SHOULDERS THOU FILTHY HALF-BREED!", Ilena shouts to the minotaur with a voice that leaves no questions about her own position. She's special and she knows it. She's royalty, Icharian royalty.
A boghopper jumps by.
"You aren't fighting for yourself anymore humans. You'd better get used to it", a look of longing and sadness washes over the two but soon it turns into one of resolution and pride. They will not fail after all they have gone through.
"Thou doest not know our ways boghopper. We respect thine people to not question thine. Shalt thou do the equal?", Karev notes to the boghopper before the two head to the leaders tent.
The two exit the tent in deep thought.
To lead the centaurs? Her? It makes sense, of course, she can strenghteng those a lot but fighting for half breeds...nevertheless she accepted to those two for being the leaders of the army. It wouldn't have been possible had there been more of the Ichar here. Then it would have been clear that her, the Queen of the Ichar would have led the army to a glorious victory!
The demon's forces are numerous. They can simply tie our cavalry down by sheer numbers. Breakthrough is impossible. The spears make it hard for all but the heavily armed centaurs and cataphracts to be of any use. Light cavalry can only sit and wait if by some divine fate the enemy blunders and the ranks open up. The unicorns are our best weapon to counter the demons and they know it too so he'll try to wear them down before sending in his demons. The bear riders would have been best prepared to handle their defense too bad that dwarf put them to the front. Dwarves and their damn ego! But he had accepted those two to leading the army. If only there were more Ichar here...
The two walk together to a rather level spot and he bows while she curtsies. There's a flash and a cling as swords are drawn and hit together.
"We, The queen of the Ichar, Ilena, challenge thy highness to a Cheyr."
"I, The Icharian prince, Karev, accept thine envoy thy excellence."
From that point onwards only an expert swordsman or a very highly gifted being could follow what was going on. The show was far too fast for an usual man to keep up with. The two had engaged in deadly dance of a kind. Swords flashing and missing the two dancers so close that had there been a fly in between it would have been split in half. All along there's a hypnotisingly beautiful voice, like an angel of heaven singing.

In the highest hill,the dwarven Sage Barvuidun,looked the new engeneer,Ivan and his landmines.With a great desire to know more about the invention,Barvuidun ordered his engeneers to make researches about the new weapon,meanwhile,another weapon was being prepared...
***Two hours later***
The Sage was checking the process of the Mjolnir,a new weapon,named upon the hammer of the Thunder God Thor.It had the shape of a platform,with 4 metal chairs and 4 great crystals over each chair.The crystals were united into a giant hammer with a big multicoloured crystal in the top.
"Ah,so,it is ready?"-asked the sage.
"Yes,mylord."-answered an elven mage-"Mjolnir is ready and we need to test it"
"Is that so?Well sit a medusa in each of the chairs!Now!"
4 medusae came and hardly(beadause of their tail,were sit into the 4 chairs.
"Power it up!"-said a dwarven runepriest.
At first,the power of the medusae to pietryfy was drained from them into the crystals,then,the medusae started screaming while arrows of light were drained by them from the crystals.The top crystal launched a pillar of light in the sky,and this created giant clouds.When the pillar ended,the clouds got open in the shape of a circle upon a phalanx formation of enemy demon phalanx pikeman,that were holding off the unicorns.The sky was green and from it was created another pillar of light,falling upon the head of one spearman and creating a giat wave of light.The wave covered the entire formation,and when it ended and a big smoke emerged from the ground,300 demon pikemen,of the 3rd phalanx formation,were turned into stone...
"Another one"-screamed the sage enthusiastic.
"It cannot be throwed,my lord"-answered an elf.
"WHAT!"-shouted the sage,so strongly,than the ground was shaken.
"A Power Pillar can be thrown only once in 4 days,so,we cannot throw another...not yet!"-said a dwarf.
"Then bestow Mjolnir."-spoke the sage with an ironic calmity.
"It may take more than 1 month"-said a naga sorceress.
"Ok,we will wait 4 days.At the moment,I want to hear all the officers speaking,Rael,Ilena,Beoingol,Gonar,everyone."-said the sage
***20 minutes later,on Barvuidun's tent***
"So,speak,tell me what tactics are you using,did you liked or not the new weapon,the enemy formations,everything."-said Barvuidun...

"It has potential... but we will discuss this invention later, as you know the enemy is making they're approach, also..." Rael was interrupted by the sound of a giant rock crashing below them "THOSE snowS ARE THROWING ROCKS AT US!" Rael said raising his voice over the howling wind. "Hey! Fire back at them dammit!" yelled Rael who had stuck his head out of the tent to yell at a dwarf who was sleeping on the job.
He jerked and grabed hold of an iron poker that glowed blue thanks to the brazier of enchanted flame it was held in.
He turned to the rock elemental that was sitting around staring bleakly with its gaze unfocused and its mouth open.
He placed the iron poker where the but should have been and the earth elemental howled in pain and embraced a huge stone with its arms and lifted it above its head and hurled it in the direction of the enemy that was advancing steadily in theyre direction.
It went at least 2 miles.
He turned back to the others and told them his plan.
"Ranged infantry on the top, Meele on the bottom, we hold out as long as possible till forces of the north arrive,god will those giants smash up theyre forces(the giants are ariving through the mountains). Centaurs, and other cavalry are on top of this hilly expansion(meaning a camp in the hills), we've been giving the centaurs plenty to drink, they should charge right through after the first wave of soldiers has come into close combat. At the first sign of demons we sound this horn" said Rael taping a large horn carved out of a mammoths tusk that stuck out of the tent. "the guards are here to make sure nothing happens to it. We happen to have a wind generator at our disposal so we might as well use it to delay any fling enemy, as well as give our own a spurt of speed as they fly to intercept."
"P-p-pardon b-b-but w-what i-i-i-if th-they b-b-bring d-d-d-dragons?" asked an old decrepit elf that had a enchanted cold.
"You might be behind the times old man, but the dragons have died out, the last ones are supposed to have burrowed under the sea."said Rael.
"This man, is one of my great, great uncles, he has had quite allot of battle experience, i learned everything from him."
"Now, chop, chop make sure you check for other lazy dwarfs, or we will be fighting with one half of our forces asleep."

"Very impressive, it works as a some kind of amplificator and concentrator I presume. Based on the crystals' ability to bend rays and resonate with each other, simply fascinating.", Ilena says with eyes filled with more questions but continues with a cold, analytic voice.
"As for tactics, we are clearly outnumbered so defending the higher ground is crucial. I suggest we order our troops to dig diamond defensive positions with thousand men each, which are fortified with low walls of earth and spikes, in at least three lines. It will channel the enemy forces, render their cavalry useless against our infantry and ease strain on our troops since it divides the enemy to a deeper depth while leaving those troops' sides and back exposed that are trying to push through. It also gives great ways to retreat and charge with our cavalry. Highly effective against badly organised masses like orcs or trolls. But now if you'll excuse us, we have to get back to the troops.", they bow and leave the tent. On their way out Karev notes.
"And if someone were to bring those catapults down it would help a lot."

Cra-ghraan pondered the request for a moment. 'Retreive the kobolds of Drukkl ridge and gain their allegiance'.
"I'm a cyclops. Not a recruiter. Send somebody else to Drukkl Ridge to retrieve the recruits"
His commanding officer told him,
"only you can go. the ridge is filled with dangerous monsters... hence why the kobolds didn't come to help us. i the first place. your task is to reach them alive and bring most of them back. preferably alive... its annoying to have to occupy the Necromancers with the resurrecting of dead troops."
"But why kobolds?" "They are not strong warriors and are unable to raise even an arm to their own defense."
Cra-ghraan responded angrily.
"Calm down Cyclops... MY battalion has a use for kobolds and i need you to get them... just be careful. both monsters and the enemy are in the area given its proximity to the bull bluffs"
Cra-ghraan Sighed. his protests were no use.
I simply do not get it. We broke from the main army for some special mission... yet i did not see any orders or papers. it was only a fleeting meeting...
"Just try not to get eaten." his commanding officer told him as he left the camp to the west to seek out the kobolds. by dusk he had reached their village...

"Hey, hey, you!", the elf blacksmith pointed by Ivan turned, "Yeah! You!", the long-eared one was seeing this human wearing red mining helmet on his head and a rifle on his shoulder for first time, "I need some nails!". The blacksmith left the sword on which he was working and said almost in disparaging tone, "Nails?! What are you, carpenter?", he pointed at huge pile of metal weapons, "I have enough work for today", now he was pointing at the troops, These soldiers need swords and armours!. "Believe me, long-eared knocker, a nail may look small and harmless, but it can be much more powerful than a full battalion covered with mythril and steel.", he did small pause, "And I don't need that many of them...", "If you think so... the marshal told me and my guild to work here, on the battlefield and give the troops whatever they wont... how many you need?", "Exactly... 7141 four centimetre nails with small or no heads, I also need one small copper pipe with two corners and two pieces of quartz or glass... and... you have some nickel?"... the blacksmith was both: very angry and surprised "You're ok, right? You aren't crazy?", Ivan thrust his hand in the pocket of his coat and pull out of there 5 golden coins, he put them on the counter near the smith The king called you and your guild for duty, but I'm paying... I'm paying very well actually, you have only a day to make them all, work fast, and never alone..., the elf looked at the coins, The king will,... Ivan interrupted him, ... bless you, after I finish what I'm thinking for! Be ready as soon as possible!
Ivan's eyes were shining in happiness when he turned his back, Finally, a real fireshow, with flames and... nails... and some blood... Hahahahah! Kaboooom! Hahhahah!

As the hours passed sprite scouts were coming in all chattering away.
They all had high pitched voices and were brightly colored. It was a chaos of colors and noises.
"Send supplies to the bottom- bring us beer- low on rum in the-"
"You! what news of the front?" yelled Rael to a small sprite who jumped.
"Goblin scout parties are making way to our hill encampment, we might lose the element of surprise if they make it there." said the sprite as it whirled around madly.
"Send for someone, anyone find those Icharian brats, tell them to intercept, no goblin must survive." said Rael who was very edgy.
"GO!" yelled Rael and the sprite shot of turning invisible, as all sprites do when they were stressed.
"Sire, sire, sire!!!" said orange sprite who had just shot through one of the windows set up especially for the sprites.
"WHAT?" said Rael exasperatedly.
"Trolls, west side, the dam!" Said the sprite bouncing up and down switching between invisibility and visibility.
"What dam? There isnt any dam!"said Rael who looked over the map.
"Theres a lake held up by a landslide theyre digging it out and restoreing the river." Said the sprite hurriedly.
"Where does the river run through?" asked Rael
The sprite pointed out of the window.
The river ran right through the bottom trenches which were going to hold up the forces of darkness.
"Thats going to wash out the trenches in no time! Send a strike force to stop those trolls, once theyre done fortify the position." said Rael who added a few notes to the map.

Ilena was inspecting her newly formed heavy cavalry consisting from two thirds of centaurs and one third of human cataprachts. She had ordered the humans to take the flanks in the retangle formations since they were better equipped to stagnant fighting with their sturdy shields and heavy maces while the centaur's lances were more suited to charging.
She herself rode a snow white horse with green and silver scale mail on it's head, neck and chest that still let the plaited mane hang free.
"This is the basic formation, if ordered to a wedge We will act as a centering point for the formation with centaurs on the lead and humans forming the inner lines. Questions?", no one speaks up.
"None? Good. Dismissed.", just as she turns to leave she hears a voice.
"Miss Ilena? Your excellence? I have a message for your excellence.", she looks around but sees no one. A sprite, of course it has to be invisible. Now where is it...she concentrates and senses a small vibration like a spider on a string. She grabs the string in her mind and gives it a shake. The air in front of her vibrates for a while unveiling a frightful sprite, who just looks around confused.
"Yes, thou said thou had a word for me.", she adresses the small creature in an annoyed tone. The sprite nods.
"Yes, your excellence. Goblin scouts have been detected nearing on our hill encampment and Rael ordered to find your excellence and Mister Karev and to deliver the order to dispose of them before they report back.", Ilena's face darkens. To chase down goblins!?! How dare that point eared fool place such menial tasks on her! She glances at the sprite angrily. Even the poor sprite in front of her eyes could do that! The little creature starts shaking and moving restlessly. Is she angry at him? He did everything right. She wouldn't kill a messenger, would she?
"You're free to go. I'll get the word ahead. We'll take care of this. Dismissed.", she shoos the sprite away and it disappears with a sigh of relief. She rides off the find Karev.
She found him at the other side of the army where he was just riding back to the camp. He had a light bown horse with similar armour like her's but it covered the sides and back too and was silver and gold in colour. As she rode towards her he slowed down and greeted her formally.
"A pleasant timing your excellence.", to which she returned in kind.
"It is always pleasant to see your higness.", she continued with her usual voice. "Karev, gather a band of light cavalry. We are going goblin hunting.", He turned his horse around and they rode to the encampment of his newly acquired light cavalry.
"Attention! 2nd archer and 5th spear on the saddle in two!", he ordered creating a whirl in the camp. Men who had just unsaddled their horses and started to relaxed jumped to action. Horses were brought and weapons grabbed. One man took his comrade's sword by accident resulting in an angry "HEY!", to which he just shrudded. The two Icharians watched the chaos, shook their heads and sighed, such disorganised action. Soon the men were ready nonetheless and Ilena gave them a quick rundown on the mission.
"Our mission is to intercept goblins scouting over that hill.", she pointed towards a nearby hill. "We will strike them at the base of the hill. None shall survive. Questions?", no one spoke up.
"Archers on front! Follow us!", Karev shouted and took off towards the base of the hill with Ilena by his side.

"Send immediate word to the lizardmen battalion's to dig in the trenches and make a pathway for the Tsolung shock troopers, NOW!" Drogeroth commanded one of the human-like beings in pitch black scale armour. The speed with which the creature went in the direction was inhuman. "Are you sure, lord? The Tsolung divisions are the bulk of our human forces. we should be careful with them." one of his advisors asked. Drogeroth allowed himself a faint smile. "Now that the troll subdivisions of the orc armies went ahead and try to sabotage the old dam in this valley, we need to apply pressure to the army and, if they succeed, we need a large force in the enemy ranks to keep them busy while we figure out a way to cross the new river. The lizardling troops are our only amphibious forces, so it's a good to position them there were the terrain would make it impossible for the enemy to harm them."
He turned to one of the human generals who was clad in royal plate mail. "It's your time to shine, now, you possess the strongest army of the general staff. You must go and secure a position in the heart of the enemy ranks. From there you must make sure to split up the enemy as much as you can. GO!" he ordered him. The man mounted a great horse covered in steel spike armour, blew upon a great signal horn and charged ahead with a great thundering of thousands of armoured feet following him.
Several hours later...
"Keep digging!" the minotaur taskmaster ordered. "Once the bottom trenches are finished, we can join up with the main army." It added. the boghoppers and other creatures were digging vigorously. The mages were a bit bored. they had been sitting there for several hours with nothing of interest going on. Suddenly, from underneath them, several holes appeared. From these holes great and terrifying snakemen and lizardlings rose. Small fights broke out, but with the element of surprise and thanks to their racial resistance against magical attacks, the snakemen quickly finished off the mage forces and the minotaur watchmen. The others either managed to get away or died too quickly to react in any meaningful way.
The grand, red snake, Hetar, looked around. "Shend the firsht and shecond platoonsh, to the northern trensschesssh. My platoon holdsh up here! Shend messhage to Shlayer and Komodo company to come here and shet up an ashault line. All other platoonsh go to shouthern trenchshesh!" he ordered. This assault would probably be broken up, once the enemy troops realise that the enemy has tunneling soldiers in the lower trenches. these trenches were meant to be given up easily, but still...
The second line of trenches would probably contain several heavily armoured troops with longswords and battle axes or, heaven forbid, bow-weapons. Hetar hoped the human forces with their heavy cavalry, heavy weapons and heavy armour would arrive soon and dispatch of any immediate threat in the vicinity.

As they got closer to the hill Karev directed the main force to a crescent shape with archers on flanks. As the goblins noticed their approach they desperately tried to reach some higher ground before the riders would descent on them. It did them little good as the crescent shape started to form a full circle around them. With their short legs it was no use running and they seemed to realise it too. The goblins formed a simple schiltrom with their small spears.
Karev raised his hand and the archers on the flanks and uphill took aim. As he dropped it bowstrings sang and arrows took flight raining upon the fearful goblins who panicked and ran the only way they didn't have a barrage of arrows facing them, downhill, straight to the arms of the now charging 5th spear. The resulting slaughter was short and one-sided. The panicking goblins stood no chance. They were cut down quickly and brutally.
"Gather any usable arrows and if any of these rats still linger on life cut their heads off.", Karev said while carefully wiping off blood from his serrated sword. Hearing that a goblin, which had been playing dead took off running. As few of the riders were about to take after it Ilena stopped them.
"Don't, this one's mine.", she put her hand out palm facing down and concentrated. She could feel countless of strings all around. She observed them and found what she was looking for. She pulled it upwards and a small stone shot up from the ground to her hand. It stayed floating an inch from her palm as she turned her game upwards.
"So you think you're smarter than the rest?", she said with a grin as the stone started rolling faster and faster on her palm.
"Show off.", Karev noted with a smirk as the stone shot like lightning at the goblins neck.

"Oi, whats going on down there?" asked a surly looking dwarf, pointing downward.
Lizard men were coming up from under the ground.
"Lizards, quick, you! Sprite, tell the general that we have a lizard problem" said a minotaur to a tiny figure that was flying past his head.
"On iiiiiit" squeaked the sprite as the minotaur grabbed it careful not to brake anything and hurled it upwards toward the command tent.
Rael was still in the tent listening to all the needs of the army when...
"Sssssiiiirrreeeee!!!!!" The yell came from somewhere in the sky.
There was a ripping sound as the sprite broke through the top of the tent and stopped itself just before it hit the ground. It landed gently and gasped for breath.
"Lizards, bottom trench, need help." said the tiny sprite.
"You blue wings!" said Rael to another sprite passing by.
"Get gargoyles to the lower level to pick off the lizardmen, tell them to harass, get the gremlins to pitch in, also it would be nice to cut them off theyre escape by using the Troglodytes."said Rael to the blue sprite who nodded and flew off.
"Um sire, if you wouldent mind..." asked the sprite
Rael grabbed the sprite by its thin body and threw it like a javelin, out of the window.
-
Meen while the blue sprite shot through thin silhouettes, stocky frames, and bulky outlines. It reached the Obsidian parapet, the place where all the gargoyles were stored.
A green gremlin, with blue robes was sculpting another one from thick black material. Several other gremlins were doing the same.
"The bottom trench, Lizardmen, harass, slow them down." breathed out the sprite, who magically had unlimited energy, but still felt tired.
"Yes, yes, i suppose we ought to help?" said the gremlin who had a high pitched but allot less squeaky then the sprites. ((voice sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psi6QjCqirU))
The sprite nodded and then shot off to find the troglodytes.
"You heard him boys, let em rip!" yelled the gremlin at the hoard of pointy hats. There was a huge cheer and the gargoyles were one by one awakened and released to fly.
Several of the gremlins went to find the high ground, dragging behind them a cart full of ball and chains.
They started to fire the huge steel balls, one after the other. From such a great height, the balls and chains could snap bones, like twigs.

The orange sprite flew back and forth in the camp screaming: "Attackers at the dam! the Trolls are trying to destroy the dam! Someone must stop them!"
Everywhere people grabbed their weapons and (they who had) sadled their horses and went to defend the dam. They quickly got to the dam and saw trolls trying to destroy the dam. THey had no time to count how many but saw that they where outnumbered. There was about 50 soldiers who had heard the sprite, they came with the element of suprise. Arrows flew and hit the trolls, alerting them of the attacking force. Arrows came flying from both ways long before the melee forces came close, Sator, a loner in the camp, was along the frontline. The melee forces clashed toegether, and everyone was screaming out of fury when they started battling.
