Azzhrak looked around. "Night has fallen. The Weisslanders have fled." He sighed. "They must be destroyed, but should we strike against them now or wait for them to join us in battle again?" |

Sindrila replied "They will be watching but if we strike now they might be too tired to fight effectively. A full assault of their camp could drive them away." |

The old necromancer nodded. "You make a good point, Sindrila. Inform the necromancers that we are moving out. The Weisslanders will die before the sun rises over this pathetic land." |

Sindrila nodded and walked away to gather the necromancers. Once done she addressed them quickly "The Master wants these Weissland scum driven out of here. Prepare your undead, prepare yourselves, for we march again. Let the land run red with Weisslander blood!" |

((Probably something like 2am. Unless Gorfang's got another time?)) Azzhrak moved through the army, towards the front. His blade hungered for the blood of his enemies, just as he did. It had been too long since he had embraced the art of battle. The necromancers moved around him, commanding the undead into a loose formation. -Begin the advance- The words echoed from his mind into the undead and they began marching onward. He looked to his undead riders, for they would be needed to make a quick advance. Disruption would be the key to winning this battle. |

As it drew later into the night, James felt that his men had performed excellently at the drilling. Turning to Mardis, James said, "Go ahead and have the men stop for the evening; they need their rest for tomorrow." "Yes, my liege," said Mardis with a curt nod. Throughout the camp, the Weisslander soldiers stopped their drilling and headed back to their units' tents, most of them staying outside and lighting cooking fires and beginning to eat. |

((Yep, I'm fine with that time.)) Sindrila moved with the force, riding on her skeletal steed with a purpose. She was ready to spill more Weisslander blood. It would be a glorious battle. |

The night was quiet as James stood near a fire with Mardis. "The men did well today, sire," said the General as he rubbed his hands over the flame. "Yes, they did indeed," said James. "Now we just have to wait until tomorrow." |

Azzhrak rode near the front of the army, atop a dark skeletal steed. In the distance, he could see flickering lights that marked the Weisslander camp. The old necromancer chanted spell words. Without any sign that a spell had been cast, his magic began to work to further darken the night. He had to obscure his army from view as much as possible, and get as close as possible before the battle began. -Stay silent. Do not alert the enemy- |

Sindrila heard her master's words in her mind. She slowed her steed to a walk and made sure the necromancers around her were heeding Azzhrak's command. |

The wind around the camp picked up somewhat, a cold, biting wind, causing James to involuntarily shiver and move his arms to fold across his chest. As he looked up, clouds began to drift over the moon, dark, opaque clouds that served to eliminate the moon and stars from sight. The change put a feeling of dread in James's heart, but he did not know why. |

The advance continued. Azzhrak saw something skitter in the dark. Quickly, he reached to one of his warriors and took a bow and arrow. Even in the dark, the necromancer was a good shot. He loosed the arrow and struck his target; a Weissland sentry. "We are close now, and the death of a sentry will be noticed. The time for subtlety is over." -Charge. Close the distance to the camp as quickly as possible.- The undead broke formation and surged forward, lead by the cavalry. The titanic horde of walking corpses was truly a deathly visage. |

Out on the picket lines, one of the cavalrymen thought he saw something in the distance. Peering out into the almost complete darkness, he managed to make out what seemed to be a huge tide of bodies shambling towards him. ----------------------------------------- Back in the camp, James was preparing to enter his tent when suddenly a voice rang out, "To arms! To arms! The enemy is upon us! To arms!" Wheeling towards the sound, James instinctively drew his sword and ran over to the cavalryman who was shouting. "Where are they?" asked James. "Out on the perimeter!" replied the trooper. Looking over to Mardis, James shouted, "Form the infantry up behind the camp to give them space! I will take the cavalry to do what I can to give you time!" "Aye, my liege!" Mounting his horse quickly, James spurred it onwards, shouting, "Cavalry, with me!" The cavalry who were not on patrol had already gotten up quickly, and those that were near to their horses galloped forwards with James, while those who were not would follow as soon as possible. They thundered across the open plains, and as they rode away from the camp, James could see a body of enemy cavalry, mounted on James could only imagine what, riding back towards them. Around him, James's men saw them as well, and they all drew their swords, ready to fight. EDIT-((If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first large-scale cavalry-on-cavalry action of the RP, right? All the other times one side has been dismounted I think.)) Edited by Hotshot, Dec 2 2010, 11:42 AM.

Sindrila drew her longsword and held it in a high stance, holding the reins with her other hand and steering with her legs. The skeletal steed picked up pace and was amongst the undead cavalry charging. In mere moments they would be crashing into the enemy. |

Closer and closer, onward and onward... the undead riders charged menacingly towards the Weisslanders. Azzhrak had dropped back a few ranks, yet still close enough to be involved in the fight. He saw Sindrila not far from his location. Then there was the clash of metal and bone, sword and flesh, living and dead. The undead smashed into the Weisslanders, all mounted. The Weisslander discipline allowed them to knock the undead from their steeds quicker, but the undead, as always, had numbers on their side. Azzhrak raised his gauntlet and blasted a charging rider with an eruption of magic, before bringing his sword down on the left side to cleave through another horse. The rider was sent hurtling to the ground where he was quickly consumed by the undead. |

As the two forces slammed into each other at full gallop, James brought his sword around, cleaving the head off of one of the undead riders and sending it sailing through the air. Around him, man, beast, and undead were being cut down, and he could see, behind the enemy cavalry, the main body of the necromancer's army. Wheeling his horse about to face another undead cavalryman, James parried a strike and disarmed his opponent before slashing his sword across its chest, shattering the bones and breaking the skeleton apart. |

Sindrila rode gracefully and skillfully through the mass of fighting, slashing down to her left to cut the throat of the first Weissland cavalryman who reached her, before sweeping right to do the same to another on her other side. The riders slumped in their saddles and were smashed aside as more undead cavalry swept in. The Dark Elven woman wheeled left and deflected a sword from hitting her, quickly dispatching the mounted human and moving on. |
