Question?

If there is a forest nearby through which the shield wall can fall into Thava will lean on Zephersides magic to draw the goblins into a slaughter park via attrition(giving up ground to destabilize the opposition).</div></div></div><br/>[Thava Ironclaw]:<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">*It may not have been apparent to most what Thava was truly doing for the shield bearers, as not all people understood the role of a Warlord. Charisma was her sword, with her words alone she empowered the soldiers moral, giving them the willpower and resolve to march through blood soaked soil, and bear terrible pains. She snared the courage in their hearts and drew it forth to blaze as fire in their eyes. She brought out their best, inspiring victory even when swallowed by despair, and she had found what she was looking for, in the goblin hoards lines there was a weakpoint, a soldier with a blinded left eye, the warlord breathed deeply calming herself, then placed her claw on one of the soldiers backs*<br/><br/>"READY! HOP!", *The shield bearer leapt up carrying the entire armor with him, as Thava shot beneath his feet, snapping her heavy sword up like a serpent aiming to slash the goblins neck. If the little fiend fell, she would press onward slashing and crashing against the hoard, the shield wall behind her. Every action she took driving the guardians steadily forward while she acted as their spearhead, should she be critically injured she would simply slip back behind the shield wall, slaying anything that tried to follow through the doors. Using not but her indomitable willpower to subdue the pain...well, and the occasional sip of stamina potion(just flavor text really) to keep her pep up, she was up against an army after all she'd be foolish not to rely on her clan's wealth.*<br/><br/>*Ahead she saw her goal, a line of high ranking orcs, probably the bodyguards of a chief. As she expected the goblins began to pull their wily shenanigans, they used eachother like stepping stools to litterally climb up over their own and leap over the shield wall, turning those guarding from arrows, their sheilds still held aloft but now their attention divided, dropping their spears and drawing swords to defend their backs. Here Thava planted her sword in the soil, and loaded her arm mounted crossbow to deliver three consecutive bolts to the hoard. Their strategy was barbaric and left those acting as stairs vulnerable to the shield walls spears...but also made a hazard they would have to navigate mounds of goblin corpses would pile up rappidly...and not all of them were dead.*<br/><br/>"Fall back! Standing Reprisal!" *Thavas order meant to take ten paces back then switch the vertical guard with the horizontal guard to ease the burden and finish off the goblins that had broken through. The tactic had proven effective but the report came in of four dead from the fiends trickery, meaning she had a smaller shield wall to work with, and this towering, fifteen foot tall...thing to deal with, four high piles of living goblins that allowed them to leap over their wall. She had fire breathers among the soldiers, she was considering using them to burn down this obstacle...it would allow them to proceed swiftly however she really wanted to save that trick for another time, for now their shield line was holding even as the goblins clamored over each other to build their stairs again, it was ineffective so long as they had ground to give...but that ground would not last forever. She needed aid.*</div></div></div>
