Althainia under Attack.

The guards over Althainia's East gate had been relieved to see the goblin army disappear from sight the other day. Their passage through Althainia had been tense at best. But now they were gone so the guards relaxed a little. Then came the alarm, Goblins had been sighted in the sewers. A call to arms was issued and many rushed in. Politics then got involved and no orders were issued. It was believed that the goblins were trying to catch up with their other force en route to New Thalos to join in New Thalos' defense. The belief was mistaken. Before light had fallen on the city, the goblins emerged from the sewers. The flaming arrows began devastating the houses and people. Then the war cry. An eerie sound of pure hatred and vengeance. All those who heard it knew what was to come. The city folks began to panic and to run out the gates to try and seek safety, those who left out the east gates where cut down by a waiting army of goblins. A bugle blares and then another war cry. The city was under siege. The guards closed the gates as fast as they could but the goblins where upon them in no time. The gate never finished closing as the guards fell. The forces of Althainia rallied together and began to defend their city. Explosions resounded, huge rocks pummeled the walls and houses of the city. Everywhere you looked there was destruction and mayhem. The Althainian archers began to send flight after flight into the oncoming goblins taking down many and leaving a stench that no amount of cleaning would ever remove from the kingdom streets. Soon the first 2 elements of archers where overrun by well armored and well armed knights and cavalry. The archers fell. The Althainian forces are being pushed back to the center of the city and are defending like mad men. Many Goblins fall to their fury as do many Althainian's fall to the goblins sheer force.

The battle continues...

No kingdom deaths have happened this day.
