Gilbie again quickly scans the battlefield below him for Dolfuur but fails to find him (OOC: Spot roll of 1). Frustrated, he picks one of the closest Kazadar soldiers to him, fires his crossbow but misses.
Fae leads the cavalry on a charge into the rear ranks of Kazadar soldiers. The other horsemen hammer into the enemy ranks but Fae concentrates on her chosen foe, slashing with her sabre at a young looking Kazadar. She hits him hard across his upper back, opening a nasty wound. He falls to his knees in shock. The horse rears up and stomps down on the man, killing him instantly. (OOC: Nice Ride roll of 22 to control her mount in battle, 15 points of damage total to her foe)
Dolfuur again finds himself surrounded by four enemies. He swings at the one to his far left and hits. The dwarf bellows in the heat of battle as his enemy goes down in a heap. Spurred on by his success, he follows through with his axe at the nearest soldier to the one he just killed and again hits, the axe vibrating in his hand as it is buried in the man's chest, killing him. (OOC: 12 and 18 points of damage respectively)
Seeing the viciousness of the attack, no further enemies close with Dolfuur. The two still engaged in melee with him swing their long swords, one hitting and causing another wound to the raging dwarf. (OOC: 7 points of damage)
Two more Kazadar archers fire at Gilbie and both hit, the second one causing a great deal of damage. Gilbie drops his crossbow and falls to the ground, bleeding and unconcious. (OOC: 25 points of damage, including one critical hit. Gilbie is at -6 and dying.)

IC:
The battle continues, seemingly going in the favor of Osbourne and his forces. More friendly troops have either surrounded or entered the keep and less resistance and return attacks seem to be occurring.
Samiz hurries off to speak with Osbourne, leaving Trent to watch the battle rage in the distance.
OOC:
Damage totals
Dolfuur -- 26 points of damage, 23 hit points left
Gilbie -- 32 points of damage, currently at -6 hit points, unconcious and dying
No one else is injured at this point.
I've decided to slow things down because the last two round have been relatively brutal for the PCs. I was only planning on running maybe half a dozen rounds and then concluding the battle in one longer post but with Dolfuur relatively banged up and Gilbie down, I figure we might as well go round by round with you all posting your actions.
