Franklin and
Wiglaff both aim at the left-most rider, and combine to dispatch it in short order, though the giant hog keeps on coming.
Grampus' bow fire also empties a saddle, spilling his rider to the dust. The weight of the charge crashes into the line, and
Ivar manages to slightly wound one of the hogs, and then the carnage starts.
The hogs and riders swarm the
efreet savagely, gashing great wounds that bleed fire, while
Aldbane takes a severe wound, and
Yarpera is killed.
Rhod and two of the dwarves flank the outer hog and butcher it.
Maloof and
Dori land blows on their hog and rider, and the
efreet plucks a bear man off a horse, sets him on fire, then rips him in half and tosses him contemptuously away.
Aldbane bludgeons to death the bear man facing him
The party's right flank is secure, but the left flank hangs in the balance. There are three rider-less hogs, and one intact hog and rider left
