The trumpets of alarm sounded from the camp sentries. Four goristros clambered over the wall near the south gate as hundreds of dretches poured from the gates, the strong forms of hezrou and arrow demons among the crowd. By **1045 hrs** the Goristro will be in range of the shaaran camp and the Hezrou will be able to begin attacks with chaos hammer.

Force Strength
384 Eagles=19 Maneuver elements 1677 Ankheg Skirmishers=15 Maneuver elements, 20 mobs 234 Ankheg Cavalry=7 maneuver elements, 100ft wide, 90 ft. deep. 1405 Cheetah Infantry=9 mobs, 20 maneuver elements (4 elite), 70ftx60ft. 1226 Lion Cavalry=(~150x30 ea. 40 maneuver elements) 384 Lion Light Infantry=5 mobs, 4 maneuver elements, 2 of archers (30x25) 1170 Hyena Cavalry=30x100 ea, 30 maneuver elements 384 Hyena Light Infantry=2 mobs, rest rabble-skirmishers 780 Rhino Heavy Cavalry (1/3 dismounted)=6 dismounted elements, 18 mounted elements 100x90

The tribes fall into line handily, which is something of a surprise, with the Lions on the far left, the Cheetahs on their right, the Rhino left of center, the few Ankheg to their right, the Hyena, and The Eagles on the right. This could be averted with some command and control but will require some effort. Given the above situation the Lions will come into contact with the Demon's right flank about 24 seconds before any of the other tribes engage the demons. The Rhino (omitted) are on the right flank of the Ankheg contingent.
