Hagwen, Rhegaer, Coln and Aurora rush up the street just in time to see the grand melee in full swing.
Clearly the initial rush of goblin met the spear formation with awful loss. Goblin bodies are spread across the battlefield, but the press carried them into a general melee and even from the distance the party stands they can see that both sides have suffered heavy losses. The shield wall has all but collapsed, the Watchmen have been thinned, and the spearmen and fighting in close quarters with daggers.
Each side seems at the breaking point, the MIltia wavier and start to drop back while goblin force pauses. Each side is quickly bolster, the Goblin Leader rides into the fray cracking his whip and driving his wolf into the spearmen killing one a and wounding another in a vicious assault. .
Sheriff Rol calls out to his men
"Do NOT Break men, this is for your HOMES, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR LEGACY!" Rol wades in with his broadsword and executes a devastating series of attacks that leaves 4 goblins dead in the span a minute.
It is at that point the remaining goblins finally break. The Goblin leaders turns and flees and his 5 remains goblins rush after him. The archers manage to take down another goblin and even put an arrow into the Goblin leader as he rides off.
Of the militia the loses are heavy 9 yet live, plus the Bailiff and the Sheriff

Of the goblins there are 26 dead upon the field. The Battle on the Downs is over, but the lose of life was heavy, if not for the Adventures it would have been far worse. The bandits clearly had intend to run unchallenged through the town.
