Cries and shouts of alarm erupt from the city ahead of you. The Northern sector of Helgedad is alive with troops scurrying to and fro in anxious alarm, for in the middle of the wall a breach has occurred, a gaping hole blasted through the city's defenses by the arcane powers of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star.

Although it appears the enemy is withdrawing from this blasted opening, nothing could be further from the truth. As the enemy infantry has met with stiff resistance from the Elite troops of Helgedad, a large contingent of calvary is readying to ride over the defenders instead. In response to this tactic, the Xagash in charge of this area is readying his own cavalry led by a Drakkarim Captain. It is much smaller than the enemy forces by almost three to one and will in all probability fail to hold against the enemy charge.

If you wish to join the Drakkarim Cavalry in an almost futile countercharge, turn to 42.

If you prefer to wait and see the results of the skirmish, turn to 48.
