Half of Krovah's face had been badly bloodied and bruised, some of his fangs were even chipped or gone completely. As he tried to gain his bearings after that powerful hit he noticed Cythlla raise a corpse. Slowly it approached and Krovah wasted no time in dealing with it. Grabbing one of his cultists who were already busy fighting a Templar, Krovah hurled his follower at the corpse bomb. The resulting explosion was far enough away to miss Krovah and only small droplets of acid reached him. His cultist was not so fortunate as his entire body was melting away within seconds while he experienced every agonizing moment of it. Krovah knew he'd perish if he continued to fight. His master's work was not complete and so he must ensure his survival. [color=f26522][b]"HOLD THEM HERE! I WILL RETURN WITH REINFORCEMENTS! LET NONE FOLLOW!"[/b][/color], he ordered to his cultists who soon began to circle around him, allowing the vile creature to escape. Before he vanished, Krovah roared at Glodin and Cythlla, a gesture that meant they'd be hunted as long as they both lived. [hr] Evelyn did not waste time, as soon as Ruinil explained the plan she informed him of the situation, [color=fff79a][b]"What the elf says is true, the Knight-Commanders have all been slain. The enemy was hiding within out ranks and by the time we found out we were already weakened enough for the main force to strike. We must retreat and inform what remains of The Order"[/b][/color]. Evelyn glanced back at the battlefield and noticed that Krovah was fleeing the scene. It was obvious that he'd left to return with reinforcements but they'd be long gone by the time more cultists arrived. Turning her attention back to Ruinil and Jeremiah she spoke once more, [color=fff79a][b]"The eastern end of the village is closest to the forest. If we can reach it our escape will be covered. While I don't doubt your skill, this many of the enemy is too much for one archer and I won't have you die in vain"[/b][/color]. A loud crash notified Evelyn that the shield wall was being hammered hard by the enemy. There was not much time before the wall collapsed and a plan had to be formulated and executed before that shield wall broke. [color=fff79a][b]"My magicka reserves are just barely restored to cast my electromancy, if I can put enough power into my cast I could stun the front line of cultists. The moment I cast the spell, corporal, have your men push forward. The front line should fall right over. In the meantime my men at the opposite side will push them forward towards the wall. Elf, you'll need to find a high point and provide arrow fire. If this goes well, we'll be free of these bastards and away into the woods"[/b][/color].
