The shieldwall is not impervious: As the hail of Goblin missiles intensifies, some slip through the cracks between shields. Manon cries out in surprise as one darts through to take her high in the chest; Elinor is hit lower and falls in the grass, tears streaking her cheeks as her sister Knights trample over her body. The flanks are most vulnerable: Goewyn manages a gurgling scream as an arrow takes her in the pit of her arm, skewering through both of her lungs. She falls to her knees in the grass, choking on blood, stunned and helpless, while behind her Dwynwen and the other Rangers advance in the wake of the Knights, relieved to be targets no longer.
Up in their towers, the Goblin archers draw and loose frantically, pelting the advancing Elven formation, which leaves a trail of bodies in its wake but creeps on inexorably.
