The minotaurs cheer as the Xains fall to the combined attacks. They retreat a ways away to regroup before they return to battle.
Those Xains who survived the initial dragon attack are still focused on the skies and are unprepared for the Forest Band's attack.
The Forest Band is careful not to get surrounded. As they push in, they push out as well. The archers try to conserve arrows, firing onthly when there is a clear shot.
OOC: I like your username.
The dragons continue their attacks and the minotaurs hit the Xains with another charge.
OOC: Thanks. I'm going to deal with my avatar soon, but in the meantime it's there to remind me.
Dubhan speaks. "We have come to ask you to free these prisoners. My name is Dubhan Finnasoch and I was a member of the crew hired by Alpida Makrinorasi to awaken your people from their slumber and return them to this world." He points at Karthon. "This man, Karthon, was also a member of this crew." He points at Kestrel. "This, Kestrel Creerden, belongs to the Shadow Warriors and is therefor Alpida's compatriot and our ally. Karthon and Kestrel were on a mission to smash the Xain general when your troops attacked them and they were forced to defend themselves."
Eudoxa is silent a moment as she processes this. "I now see that I do recognize both of you. I believe your story, Dubhan Finnasoch, but that does not free your allies from the law. They may complete this mission they were sent on, as it is imperative to the survival of all of us, but Dareos must be sent with them. I will pass their sentence when they return."
Dubhan nods. "We accept."
At Eudoxa's command, Dareos walks a short distance away and returns with their weapons. The other Kriatoma begins cutting Karthon and Kestrel loose.

They push in with all their might. The archers now rarely shoot. They get rid of strays that get through the chaos

Karthon and Kestrel continue their mission, now trailed by Dareos. Fortunately, no one bothers them this time. However, as they get close to the general's tent they find that Xain guards are posed at even intervals all around it. Also, a dark shape moves on the ground nearby them.

*Darthraxx hits the shields with energy and lightning.*
OOC: just so you know, I chose the green energy specifically because that they shouldn't be able to block it. Energy in this kind of form would be able to phase through/break through any kind of material you use as a shield, unless they create a shield of lightning, or maybe fire (and with fire I'm hesitant.). BUT, if you make the shield of either of those substances, the shield would actually make it worse for when the Lightning hits, as it would start downward momentum for the entire shield, rather than just having that bolt attack.
His attacks bounce off or are dispersed by the shields.
OOC: They're not physical shields. They are energy barriers against magical attacks.
Gidie shouts to Darthraxx. "I have an idea! I'm going to teleport you to inside their shield. If you attack quickly, you should be able to smash them."

Kestrel notices the dark shape and whispers to Karthon, "What next?"
"Smash the General of course." Karthon said, gathering the situation. "There are too many for a stealth attack...." And spying the dark shape he asked "what's that?"

Upon closer inspection, the shape appears to be a person- a Kriatoma- crawling towards the general's tent. Half her head is swathed in bandages made from a Xain tunic and several other areas of her body are wrapped in numerous makeshift bandages of the same kind. Suddenly, she stops moving and lifts her head- she has heard them talking. Slowly, she turns to face them, and Karthon recognizes her as none other than Alpida.

Karthon maneuvers closer to Alpida. "It appears we will need your help."

She hisses at him to keep his voice down and whispers, "Help with what?"
