Cyradon manages to avoid the Daemon’s blow, his own strike going straight through the Daemon’s chest. The Bloodletter shudders for a moment, its semi-ethereal form dissolving into a hot, liquid-like red mist as it retreats from the material plane. It spits venom and screeches threats as it is dragged back to the warp, its snarling, rasping voice cascading through the minds of all present. The air smells strongly of brimstone.

The Hammerhead manages to narrowly avoid the blow, pulling back alongside the rest of the shattered Tau forces – but the alien aircraft have adapted themselves to the patterns of fire the Knight spits out. But they, like the rest of the alien forces, pull back – uninterested in continuing the battle any further. Still, Attano’s fire manages to leave the vehicles damaged and smoking – ensuring the aircraft will be in serious need of repairs.

Partisan medics appear, carrying bags of crude tools, supplies and hosting stretchers and whatever else they can find before approaching Wilfrith and the other Scions,

“We can assist your colleagues, if you permit us.”

They are quick to make room for the approaching Eldar.

The Tau trooper is far from light, but the adrenaline and religious fury driving Hen allows him to drag the Tau from its cloven feet and throw it against the tree. It seizes onto one of his arms and draws free a thin blade – a ceremonial thing rather than a weapon. Gurgling blood and spitting curses in its xenos tongue, it stabs at his shoulder, trying to free itself as it squirms. The other troopers simply beat the Tau they find to death, often executing them with their own weapons.

Dion’s shots skewer and fry aliens, the fleeing Tau collapsing in smoking heaps. The battle goes out with a whimper as the last of the Tau are killed or are left dying.

The Chimeras are, for all intents and purposes, wrecks. Their transmissions are shot and their tracks are shattered or simply missing. Their weapon systems seem for the most part fine, but their engines are badly damaged.
