As the Order of the Sacred Flame and Ragnar's "Corporate Defense Force" clashed on the narrow beach below, Ragnar gazed upon the scene from the roof of the armored locomotive.
Everything was going according to the quarterly projection.
Ragnar scanned the melee through his brass telescope, desperately searching for Grandmaster Roland's location.
Unfortunately for him, Roland was clad in a full set of gilded plate armor, and the black smoke from the Naphtha fires made visibility poor.
The battlefield was a chaotic mix of burning sand, screaming horses, and the rhythmic thrum-thrum of heavy crossbows.
Roland, on the other hand, was currently engaging in combat against one of Ragnar's "Iron Gear" sergeants. As the sergeant thrust his pike at Roland's chest, the Grandmaster swiftly deflected the strike with his kite shield and severed the pike shaft with a single, practiced blow of his sword.
