Battle of Dragon Head Pass

Battle
642-3-17

With The Raven Shield making their way down the mountain, they found themselves awaited by Korosk's Crushers, led by Korosk, flanked by Anya and Halkas.

The Raven Shield found themselves allied with Hieronymos Davenbreed, Thalai Horncaver, Venyra and Siegfried.

Initial Attack

Pelted by crossbow bolts, the Raven Shield forces took a defensive position on the eastern flank of the pass. Realizing that they would lose a long-term ranged standoff, the tide began to turn when Lorenzo charged the closest group of Crusher forces.

The Charge

In a brutal charge, Lorenzo fought through his injuries and dealt serious blows against the enemy. While the number of casualties was not particularly high, it did show that the enemy could bleed; one Raven Shield warrior was worth many of the Crusher's legionnaires. Thalai Horncaver charged the western flank, soon followed by Siegfried.

The Counter-Charge

Thalai soon found himself surrounded by enemy troops, with Halkas and then Anya charging at him on horseback. Silaqui's long-range spellcasting saved his life, and Nova Amaril soon released powerful magic to provide relief. Siegfried's heavy armor proved no match for the simple spear attacks launched against him.

The Turning of the Tide

It was a long-range Scorching Ray by Silaqui that struck Korosk and mortally wounded him. This proved a vital turning point, with the last of the crossbowmen either retreating or being taken down by the Raven Shield.
