Post Blockers-gate Field

Light glimmered off a bead of sweat dripping from Crell's helmet, in its reflection there was carnage all around and as suddenly as it came into life the bead was flung as Crells jerked his head back as a Dwarven axe swiped by his face, the blade was so close Crell could hear a faint whistling sound, his response was sudden and precise as soon as the axe passed him out thrusted his sword arm driving it deep into the neck of his combatant putting down yet another dwarf.


"Cap, CAP! you a-right sir?" came the all to familiar sound of Finch Crell's right hand man.
"I saw that 10 of those bastards rushing for you and ignoring the rest of us like lame horses !, such villans!"  in a calm voice Crells replied "Im fine finch, but how are the men? i saw Betsy had  turn back after they tried bombarding her with rocket and rocket after rocket, i am pretty sure i also saw them throwing some kind of demonic dogs at her too!!"  " oh she is fine,i made sure she got out of danger before she took a serious hit, and aye i was on top of her when they "fed her" those dogs, not a scratch on her from those little muts and then she opened her mouth and they were gone, as fer the rest o the army, we lost our mounted scouts sir, brave souls, but we seem to be winning, the Dwarf lines seem to be breaking, we will send them back to the abyss in no time at tall sir!" Finch also sounded full of glee when talking to Crells.


Looking over the battlefield he saw a rest mist on the horizon as the sun was struggling to stay up, wisps of smoke leading from those infernal Rocket launchers, A charm of finches were flying in unison overheard, under the horizon he could see a sea of bodies, horses and dwarves culminate into a swirling mass of endless bloodshed, walking running and dancing on downtrodden soil, mud being flung in every direction, the sound was no better, cries of pain, anguish, pride, hate, anger, every emotion was being voiced unbder the constant Thud of the artillary in this maddening sprawl of grass and mud they called Blockers-gate field and then in stopped.


"we did it cap! we did it! under your generalship we beat those good fer nothin Abyss loving dwarfs!" finch came running up all the soilders under Crell's banner were cheering.

A little later while the wounded were being cared for, the dead being laid to rest and over came Finch with some of the other regimental leaders, they were carrying something with them. 

"here ya go Cap, we found this among the Dwarfs command tent, the scallywags left it when they fled with there tails tween there legs!" came Finch's voice, the other 3 gentlemen all voiced there approval and so Crell's took the Cape, shoulder guard, helmet and dwarven crafted longsword.

"Thank you all, this is a big victory for us, one of many i'm sure, but now we must face our enemy at home, we must finish our business with The Herd or we will never be safe" Crells said with as much authority he could muster.

"HERE HERE" came the reply  

With new Armour and weaponry Crells is starting took the part of a truly heroic General of Men.
