Lothian managed to loose some arrows while the enemy charged, drawing his blade when they were finally closing in. The shield wall held when the enemy fell upon it, though not as well as it could have but that seemed mainly due to their unusual formation for this battle: Less ranks to the shield wall with the Roffellans behind it. Still it did hold and they easily recovered since there were no breaches in the line but to Lothian's growing disappointment the Roffellans remained idle. 

So much for showing the might of their goddess. Lothian had his men reaffirm their line, they could still hold and they did so rather easily with the enemy charge broken the melee would still slowly swing in their favor with or without the Roffellans. The most movement in their line came from their right, where the line was curving and backing slightly to prevent flanking through the ground the orcs were giving. They seemingly didn't react to the coven's rage spell as once it was cast the knights held just the same as before, even the fire cast in front of them provoked little movement from them but they did not advance with the lone coven mage that came rushing through, they left him to charge out on his own.

Lothian, for his part, was keeping an especially close eye on things. He was confident that his knights would be able to hold against this enemy he was not going to fall to arrogance. With the Roffellans having missed their counter-charge and seeming to remain idle he was prepared to call to his Darkforest Rangers in the reserve to reinforce them in place of the Roffellans if need be.
