The Battle resumes

My men held strong as the army of darkness crashed into our defensive line. I doubt a single one of us fought with out remembering that horrible night, but our survival and the resolve to defend those that could not fight strengthened us. While we didn't know much, we remembered some of the ways these beasts could die, where to strike, there tactics, and we used that to our advantage. Several men fell in those first few moments, but unlike last time, just as many of our enemies fell.

I felt one's filthy blood hit my face as it sprayed from the stump where once his head sat. I struck again and again, driving them back, killing and wounding them. All around me my men did the same. And though we failed in driving them through the gates, at least we had halted their advance for the time being.

We would hold them. They would not pass us.

For if they did, Caer Flaunys would fall.
