The Chimera draws closer, close enough to close to spy the figures engaged in the firefight. The Tau are lightly armoured in crimson plate and pour bolts of blue energy upon their foes, though its easy to see their frail bodies being burned and scorched by the hot bolts of powerful las weaponry. A rail-rifle fires in the direction of the Chimea itself, striking the top of the hull but failing to breach. The driver throws the vehicle to the side in an attempt to avoid further fire from the powerful Tau anti-tank weaponry, though the shots fall silent as Omega removes the Tau shooters head. Tau drones begin to move towards the Chimera, laying down a hail of suppressing fire of blue bolts.

Retreating Tau die easily to Wilfrith’s fire, as do Tau wounded are easy targets, dying quickly and in droves as Aesc kills off a score of the xenos. Reaching the ridge, the Pathfinders toss grenades and begin to flee, leaving their drones as a rearguard. The partisans are quick to loot the Tau corpses for ammunition and armour, executing any wounded they find with combat knives and side arms.
