Initial Maneuvers
As the earthling armies finished crossing to the floodplains outside Kaskorata, sheets of rain began to pour down. Empty fields and abandoned villages separated them from and the Segretans' undead forces, as well as a single abandoned fort in the middle of the battlefield. Those walls would offer protection against arrows and offensive magic, and so the earthlings resolved to take it. Swiftbreeze, one of Granmarg's attendants, was dispatched to the frontlines to lead the charge. His formation charged the fort and eradicated the freshly-exhumed undead holding it successfully.
Luana charged up to the frontlines and from quite some distance reanimated many of the undead that had been slain; fortunately, Swiftbreeze was not caught off guard and his troops held the line. The rest of the Segretan commanders advanced more cautiously, keeping their troops in dense formations. In a thunderous charge, Granmarg's formation slammed into the Segretan center and slaughtered them, men and undead alike. Thicket and Mielikki marched north to meet Duccio and Aginor, while Pomegranite held the southern flank opposite Dina.
The stone bridges bridges they'd so hastily constructed with magic were disrupting the flow of the river, and with the added pressure of the rainfall, water surged up over the bank and the farmland behind the earthlings rapidly flooded. Pomegranite's formation launched a hail of boulders at Luana's troops that killed hundreds, and she and her guard retreated, while Aginor's orders fell on deaf ears as Ulrich's assassins disrupted the chain of command. In a stroke of luck, Luana's troops were too shocked to act as well, and rallying them apparently distracted her enough from her dark arts that no more dead arose. Meanwhile, Duccio's magisters froze the rain above Mielikki's troops, causing spear-sized icicles to rain down on and skewer them by the dozens as they struggled through knee-deep water.
