Hold the line! If the gate falls, we have nowhere left to run!
The massive iron-bound ram smashes through the oak palisade, spraying splinters like shrapnel across the graveyard mud. Xarsthos pulls his sword from the chest of a fallen soldier, pivoting toward the sound of rending wood.
Xarsthos
The splintered wood is still groaning under the weight of the impact.
Kaelen
They are pouring through the breach, Xarsthos! Steel your heart or this village dies tonight!
A tide of armored elites surges into the gap, their blades raised high. The villagers shrink back, their courage failing as the sheer scale of the assault becomes undeniable.
Xarsthos plants his feet, his gaze locking onto the warlord's lead soldier emerging from the dust and wreckage of the gate.

“Channeling my demonic rage, I am surging with ungodly power. I charge the front line of the enemy and kill everything in sight”
SUCCESS (Legendary Melee Combat, rolled -2)
Xarsthos lets out a primal roar, his chest tattoo glowing with a faint, infernal heat as he lunges forward.
Lead Soldier
Stand aside, you fool. There is no glory in dying for a graveyard.
The iron of Xarsthos's blade bites deep, cleaving through plate and bone with terrifying speed. He is a whirlwind of violence, cutting a path through the vanguard.
Lead Soldier
This is not a man. This is a curse given form.
With a final, brutal strike, Xarsthos sends the lead soldier collapsing into the mud. The remaining enemies hesitate, their formations crumbling before his relentless assault.
Kaelen
The path is clear. Push them back to the gate, before more of them can cross!
