A Grand Entrance      

"We can't outrun them!" Rain shouted.

Thraigar, despite his injuries, readied himself for another fight. "We'll make our stand here!" he bellowed, his determination undeterred even though he couldn't move his other hand.

Chi nocked an arrow, releasing it swiftly at any Hobgoblin who dared to approach too close.

Chin, Chill, and Chick took up positions, their weapons at the ready, determined to protect Rain at all cost.

The air was thick with tension as the Battlehog riders closed in, their fearsome mounts kicking up dust and debris.

Rain drew his sword, his grip tight. They were surrounded, but he believed they could break through and push eastward a little more.

The first of the Battlehogs reached them, and Thraigar met its rider head-on, his massive frame a barrier between the enemy and his friends. With a powerful swing, he knocked the rider off his mount, sending him crashing to the ground.
