Last Gasp
The axeman chopped away at Mielikki and was joined by Dietrich who glided forward on a wave of sand, while the rest of the earthlings were on the ground, either unconscious or reeling from their injuries. On the verge of collapse, Mielikki signalled and horns began to blow as the remainder of the army charged forward as he and the rest of his advisors retreated. Dietrich gave chase, attempting to end things by eliminating the commander, but ended up being captured by the common soldiers as the rest of his troops were forced into a rout and he surrendered, alone.
On the far side of the battlefield, Drirtollor made a heroic effort to stop Hans Hessen, the Imperial Marshal, launching a surprise attack. With the aid of earthling terramorphers, they surged across a bridge that suddenly jutted out and across an otherwise impassable ravine. Unfortunately, the Marhsal was too skilled a commander, and the earthlings were, despite their valour, sent fleeing. At the end of the day's battle, both sides found their camps razed, and would come to meet at a neutral pavilion to discuss terms.
Negotiations
Curiously, Tharivol was absent, having been replaced by a red-headed Knight of the Blazing Sun, but the rest of the Imperial commanders, including Dietrich, who had been captured, were present. Similarly, Granmarg and Pomegranite, who had likewise been captured earlier in the day, rejoined their comrades, now sporting some new scars from their battles earlier in the day. For now, at least, high-ranking prisoners were still being treated with honour.
