Alpida helps Karthon onto the next ship, before leaping on herself with a mighty roar and a swing of her mace.
The rogue fights on alongside the Grayling, becoming better with each opponent as he came back into the fighting spirit.
After felling a rather difficult soldier, Karthon leant against the bulwark to regain his poise. In the few seconds he had to recover, his eyes darted across the scene in search of the Xain commander. But, unversed in their culture he hadn't time to differ the leader from the followers and only just parried a thrust from an enemy spear, and so the battle continues.
Alpida notices Karthon looking around. "We are trying to get to whichever ship their leader is on." She motions for him to follow her as she leaps onto another ship.
Casúr stands slowly and runs his eyes over the beach, looking for any sort of prison-like structure. He sees a small stockade, and immediately charges at it. His hammer swings with deadly precision as it slams into enemies left and right. Xain soldiers fly through the air with crushed armor while their comrades desperately try to stop the charging Minotaur.
He reaches the stockade and smashes the gate in half with a mighty swing. Valithor is lying on the ground inside. Casúr smashes two more Xain who try to stop him and picks his friend up, slinging him over his shoulder. He then charges back out, smashing two more guards before diving headlong into the battle raging outside. Xain soldiers see him coming and form a line of pikes in an attempt to slay the monster that they face. Casúr shifts his grip on Valithor and holds his weapon in one hand as he continues his charge. The Xain watch the beast bear down on them with a hammer in his right hand. At the last moment, he knocks away the pike in front of him and lowers his head as he hits the soldier behind the weapon. He tosses his head up and throws the screaming man through the air. Within minutes, he is behind Oruthalian lines once again.
On a corner of the beach, far enough to be unnoticed but close enough to the fighting to reach it quickly, a small boat docks. Several people disembark and charge toward the battle, weapons in hand. They begin fighting against the Xains.
With a Kriatoma woman leading the charge, and bowling over Xains left and right, the group manages to reach the Oruthalian lines. While the others continue to fight, a wiry man separates from them and begins asking Oruthalian soldiers if they know where Valithor Icebeard, the Black Knight, is.

Karthon follows, fighting as he goes.
Alpida spots something a few ships down. "That looks like the flagship. That's where we're going." She begins fighting in that direction.

Karthon sights their new quarry shortly after Alpida. How about a shortcut? He thought, and with cat-like agility leapt upon the bulwark and danced along, flowing with the ship's movements all the while avoiding roving blows aimed at his legs. He reached the end of the ship before his Grayling ally so felled more enemies to help clear her way.

Alpida nods her thanks, before ushering Dubhan and the two soldiers along.

Casúr pushes his way to the front of the group and speaks to the man.
"He's in the medical tent. He was badly wounded by the Xain."

Alpida, Karthon, Dubhan, Saul, and Gerr reach the penultimate ship. Their destination is just across the water, but both ships still contain many Xain soldiers, and all the kriatoma soldiers who were with them have fallen back.

Several unfamiliar people arrive at the medical tent. They appear to be a group of sailors, led by an unshaven man carrying a hooked blade and also including a leathery-faced woman with a scimitar, a kriatoma woman with a huge warhammer, a wiry man with a short sword, a huge man with an axe, a goblin woman with a short spear, and a dwarven man with a heavy hammer. Their leader steps forward and asks to speak to Valithor Icebeard, the Black Knight.

"Over here!" Valithor says. He is lying on a cot with his chest wrapped in red stained bandages. The man tries to sit up, winces, and returns to his previous position.

The group approaches them. The leader speaks. "I'm Aleix. These are Beatriu, Charis, Eloi, Pere, Sevan, and Stijn." He introduces each of them in turn. "We've been sent to find you by Alpida Makrinorasi."

IC: Karthon sees his retreating allies, his fighting memories polished, battle muscles flexed, the rogue stretches before rushing headlong into the fray slashing wildly in parries that flowed into attacks that seemed like short discs around the warrior. He rolled back to draw breath and glanced at his allies coming up that said he needed aid. He now returned gaze to the oncoming enemies and raised his sword to renew his attack.
