Warriors of Haunden (IC)

Ok, so you're basically letting the battle behind you resolve however it resolves. Its not going to result in a bunch of enemy chasing after you, and its not going to result in a bunch of allies coming to your aid. I thought you would have been more interested in the fate of your allies or even of Busan, but prioritizing getting fireballs makes a ton of sense.

I'm basically not going to roll out that fight. Its going to consist of the Holidor trying to get their badly wounded away from the skeletons while they hack away at the skeletons. Its going to be very tedious and tie everyone down. Which is what wings was hoping for.

The forest prevents fireball from running directly away.

Turn 39:
Fireball and two enemy archers archers move to 72 yards away... they are now trying to run away from the battle.
Injured enemy archer heads back into the forest
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 65 and 66 yards.

Turn 40:
Fireball and company move to 67 and 68 yards away
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 60 and 62 yards away

Turn 41:
Fireball and company move to 62 and 64 yards away
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 55 and 58 yards away

Turn 42:
Fireball and company move to 57 and 60 yards away
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 50 and 54 yards away

...

Turn 48:Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 20 and 30 yards away

Turn 49:
Fireballs stops running and summons a fireball. The archers stop just behind him and ... archer #2 draws an arrow, archer #3 draws and knocks an arrow

Its been 10 seconds. Cassandra has run 70 yards, Anoras 60 yards, their Quarry 40 yards. The flanking archers haven't reached the battleline yet but are only about 24 yards away (and their help is quite wanted). The slow skeletons have shambled forward 20 yards and are still 60 yards from anything relevant. You're not sure what the battle line is doing, apart from retreating their wounded and fighting. The enemy warriors who threw down their weapons are slowly drifting away from the fighting.

And Fireballs has turned to try and fight. Note that dodging fireballs at this distance will require dodge and drop.
