Battle has been joined — the High King is attacking the Irish siege lines. Millicent will lead our conroi. She decides to attack Irish kerns (4 rounds). We kill them all in two passes and turn on a line of archers/spearmen. Millicent maneuvers our conroi so that the archers do not get a volley off; they fight as spearmen. Beonred gets unhorsed. He is wounded and dying. Millicent gets him on her horse and carries him off. We retire from the field; Beon is treated.
We see a wyvern flying over the field. It plucks the High King from his horse, flies him high up and drops him. It then lands near the king. Pascent and his huscarls are closing in on our sovereign. Millicent orders us to attack and to try to save the king. The injured Beon recklessly joins the conroi. Drustin and Liam try to pick up the king, but both fall off their horses.
Pedivere, positioned to ward off attacks, hafts the king onto his horse and rides off, saving him. Millicent supports him. ASSterius is injured (along with his spear) and is carried away by his horse. Drustin loses his spear too and gives Liam the Shield of St Crispin, which ends up saving Liam from an otherwise certain death. The Wyvern is stabbed several times. Beonred finally finishes it off (1 HP), despite his own wounds. Pascent and his group turns and runs. Liam gets on the dragon with the silver shield showing it off to the saxons. Despite the saving grace of the silver shield, Liam and Drustin resume their Ellen-banter.
