JACK:Alright it would be a 5 round charge against 50ish archers...
Nivlac: That is just a miss again, the he again stabs you in the chest, the Linothorax fraying and you feel a sharp pain, but it's only a flesh wound. Another spearman moves up and makes a spear thrust at the Parthian,, but hte large shield the arab carries flicks to the side and blocks the jab.
Alright no need to roll for a walking motion, you've retreated. you already see some men dragging shields and spears back, some minorly wounded, others gushing blood as they stagger behind the lines.
Jack: They would be firing into three shields, and they're just Argive shields, a type of which you only utilize 2/3's of the actual space of them from chin to thighs
Nivlac: Sadly there are no Auxiliaries this battle, Though you check your chest and find no blood, only the frayed sections of your Linothorax that were hit.
