The Althainian force made their formations as commanders rode their mounts back and forth checking equipment and answering the newer troops last minute questions.

The signal was given and a line of archers raised their bows and prepared to begin the assault on Dolund'ir. A catapult was loaded and brought to the front.

Above the walls on Dolund'ir crossbow men stood prepared to respond.

Kalaman raised his mace and then sharply brought it downward. Along with the war cries of hundreds of Althainian soldiers a flock of arrows flew through the sky landing over the walls. The catapult was unleashed as a huge boulder crashed into the Dolund'ir wall, cracking it. Kalaman gave the signal again and again the arrows flew and the boulder hit the wall again, inches from where it hit last time. That was the opening Althainia had needed. Crossbowmen and Archers alike lined up towards the wall and begin to take a closer position.

A goblin stood tall and fired his crossbow at an approaching archer, missing widely.

Asuraka released his arrow from his bow. It flew straight into the crossbowmen's neck and his limp body fell from the wall.

A siege tower was placed before the opening of the wall. Shadrael began to cast his protective spells upon several units of infantry and mace men as they began to assault the city itself. A battering was brought forth to the gate and the soldiers prepared for close battle.

Tarion gave the signal and the goblins opened the gates and poured out by the hundreds. Swords and maces collided with swords and cheap hand made weapons from the large militia force gathered by the Goblin leader. Goblin crossbowmen fired their weapons at close range as goblin pikemen defended the gap in the cities walls from climbing Althainia mace men. Blood poured as many of the goblin militia could hear goblin bones break from the maces as they bashed into their bones. Several hundred militias turned around to flee. Only Kahn Tarion's presence kept 70% of the militia from turning and running. The battle ensued with Cetjem and his men defending the wall well as Brudon's unit of infantry fell victim to Kheldan's unit of macemen. Just when all seemed lost, a large Dragon swooped down from the sky. A bolt of lighting left his mouth and struck Shadrael, dropping him to the ground unconscious.

Jormungander grinned and flew by for another swoop. On his next pass he breathed a bolt of lightning from over 200 feet away. It struck Armathor along with 6 other macemen dressed in chain mail. All dropped the ground, Armathor barely breathing and crawling to safety. The dragon landed and swung his massive claws at a group of nearby pikemen, instantly killing most of them.

Xiervence motioned his knights to ride toward the dragon with lances forward. Only a moment before impaling the dragon, several goblin infantry slashed at the knights' horses, giving Jormungander enough notice to turn and leap into flight. An arrow pierced Jormungander's wing which only seemed to enrage the enormous Dragon. A quick swoop produced the dragon's lunch as the archer Asuraka was bitten and dragged into the air and swallowed almost whole by Jormungander. Several archers stood in fright, unable to move. Althainian macemen and infantry continued to push forward as a several militia dropped to their might.

The fight had lasted until nightfall, where both forces seemed content to await daylight before the next battle begins. The goblins fell behind a closed city wall as the Althainian's camped close to the city. The Great Blue dragon sought solace elsewhere, to digest his meal.
