Blood in the Sand (Round 3)

Adlersflügel
The crossbowmen wanted to fire, but their bows were disabled from last round.
The crossbowmen defended themselves well against the knight's attacks.
The waterbinder, undaunted, focused his energies once more...
Water appeared in front of the Jackals. They seemed to appreciate it.
Thus they joined the waterbinder (standard stats with +2" movement. Their attacks are as strong as handweapons and they have 2 HP.)
Sir Jaiko tried to conjure up a storm, but instead was blinded by a burst of sand himself.
Bull Main
The phalanx fought as it tried to reposition, and was horribly ineffective.
Voytek fired at the Earth Dragon's eye socket, but his shot clattered harmlessly off the beast's rocky hide.
The Earth Dragon retaliated with a blast of earth, knocking Voytek down but failing to harm him.
The General used this distraction to gather his bull strength.
And without even using his weapons ripped off one of dragon's claws! (-1 HP, -2" move)
Roaring, the dragon snapped his jaws around the warrior. He managed to wedge his halberd in between the beast's jaws to apply some counter-pressure, but still lost a hitpoint.
The ballistae rolled up, killing a dragon and wounding the other.
The catapult did less well, crushing one of his own.
White Dragon Knights
"Your momma is so fat, she uses dragon bones as toothpicks!"
"WHAT?!"
The frenzied titan rushed right after Daerion, rampaging through the musketeer squad and killing one of his own.
The remaining dragon charged Stanis.
He crit-failed, falling on his head. Stanis looked on in wonder.
The beast then got up however, and used his remaining move to take Stanis for a ride.
The Earth Dragon clawed at the Berserker, nearly killing him.
He then charged into the phalanx, knocking men about and disrupting the squad.
The Bloodguard was blasted off his horse by a dragon mage. Melisander was knocked off her horse by him as well and took a hit from the falling damage.
The other dragon guard sped up his peers a little, allowing them to fall back a bit further.
The Berserker found himself in a precarious, but also promising position.
He drove his axe deep into the Dragon's abdomen, spilling the beast's guts (-1 HP).
In what seemed like a final act of vengeance, the dragon slammed down, trapping the berserker and disrupted phalanx underneath him.
The general was freed from the jaws, and fell here.
Bull Elite
Minotaurrnix succesfully freed himself and used his newly gained spiritual magic to instill even more rage in him. He now has 2 actions.
The Elite crossbowmen took aim at the final dragon.
He was shot out of the air. Unlike his buddy, the rider did not survive the fall. Stanis also took a hit.
The Elite Axemen rushed after the retreating dragon knights and axed one.
The WDK's then slew them in turn.
The Icons called on the Stampede of War.
But they suck, and it wasn't much of a stampede. One enemy was knocked out of combat.
Crimson Knights (npc'd)
Lord Goeting tried to call for an orderly retreat from the overwhelming odds.
He failed and lost all of his men retreating, save the one who had been knocked out of the fight.
The spellcasters decimated the Bull's frontlines, killing three.
The cavalry galloped to the WDK's aid to keep the left flank from being overrun.
Golden Lions
The pistoleers advanced, trying to get in range.
The still somewhat dazed musketeers picked themselves up.
This charge meant the end of the WDK infantry. The Bloodguard didn't even have to interfere.
Stanis and Melisander went to check if the dragon was dead. Yep, sure is.

Unfortunately the next round will know some delay...
Great turn!
