It seemed the others had broken into the fort; Grendan needed to help secure it, and he wouldn't let his wounds hold him back unless absolutely necessary.
If Hodeskall 56 is dead, Hodeskall 9 is not, and this move is legal: Move to D15, trade Francesca for Brendan's Brave Axe, then continue to C15 and attack Hodeskall 9 with Brave Axe. Otherwise, move to E14 and attack whichever enemy's still alive with Throwing Axe (priority order: 9, 55, 56). If all nearby enemies are dead, move to C14 and defend.
I did not expect to have cause to use the line "STOP DROPPING YOUR ASSES!" but DQ 11 gave it to me.

Railen entered back into the fray and made his way straight forward the fallen Sophia and her brutish attacker, yelling at Diane as he passed, "I'll have him and his ax tangled up with trying to hit me so just focus on getting Sophia up and at 'em!" before skidding to a halt before the Hodeskall and launching a furry of stabs in his direction.
Move to G13 and attack Hodeskall 50 with the Shamshir.

He shakes his head, walking forward again to caress his companion's wing and rest his arm around his neck, burying his head in his mane, trying to steady them both.
“You will be fine,” he intones. “You will be fine. Here, I'll take all of this off you,” he continues, standing away again before setting to work on undoing the saddle's girth. “You should be as comfortable as possible.”

Round 13: Website Ate the Post Edition
Light and Dark magic seared through the icy air as Bette and Azadokht unleashed their magic on the enemy line in a prelude to Sophia's grand finale, channeling the last of the day's power in her tome to unleash one more pillar of holy fire upon the gate of the fortress, sending thick timbers soaring into the air in flaming splinters as she let loose her divine devastation. Railen cheekily darted through the raining debris, twirling Kyoshi's Spire like an overlong baton before planting it in the ground, conjuring up another earthen spire right outside what had, up until a few moments ago, been the enemy's doorstep.
The enemy soldiers took the bait, and several of their ranged attackers congregated around the peak, peppering it with volleys of arrows and magic that the nimble rogue casually dodged with the cover of his creation. Seeing their comrades' impotence, the rest of the archers split off to the west, loosing arrows at the comparatively easy target of a bulky-armored knight and his huge reptilian mount. Grendan hissed as their shots struck true, but repaid them in kind as his axe scythed through the air and flesh like a mountain wind.
Talbot struggled back to his feet, rejuvenated by Diane's healing magic.
"Careful now, that's the last of one staff," the royal attendant cautioned, stowing the spent rod just as a hulking warrior charged forward and lay a massive spear into Talbot's side. The wayward deliveryman struck back with his blade, lacerating the enemy soldier. As he paused to gather himself, though, a large crystal of ice formed mere inches from his face, and then exploded, pelting him with razor-sharp shards that sent him tumbling back into the snow.
"Damn it," Diane grumbled.
"Excellent!" Hagen cackled, surveying the carnage before him. "Let the pass run red! Let there be no doubt in the strength of true-blooded Regin warriors, and let it be written in the blood of these pathetic foreigners!"
As the general gloated, the mercenaries broke their cover. Wordlessly, like a pack of wolves they surged forward, cutting down the enemy soldiers who had taken Railen's bait, blood splashing red over brown cloaks and the oddly familiar green uniforms beneath.
"Good. We're cutting them off," the captain said, tugging the hood of his cloak lower over his face. "Close the jaws, then go for the throat. I want us out of here before things get... complicated."
The rest of the mercenaries nodded, except for the sage, who was looking up at Railen on his rocky outcrop.
"Is that a new mask?" she said. "It looks better than I remembered. Tre mysterious."

As usual, the enemy caster was proving to be the biggest threat. "Hey, mind if I borrow that real quick? Thanks," he said as he flew by Brendan, snatching the Brave Axe out of the other axeman's hands as he went.
Move to G10, trade Francesca for Brendan's Brave Axe, then continue to H10 and attack Hodeskall 64 with Brave Axe.
I did not expect to have cause to use the line "STOP DROPPING YOUR ASSES!" but DQ 11 gave it to me.
“And here come the reinforcements!” Azadokht grins furiously as she races forward again, seeking out a target and finding one in the war bow-wielding archer. No sooner does she find it than she also sees Talbot and Eighty Six’s fall and that, combined with catching sight of the phial held in Railen’s hand as he rises on the slab of stone breaking through the soil, triggers an instinctual weaving of decisions in her mind – something that others, were they able to look upon it, might consider a plan.
She focusses.
Striking towards the rock, Azadokht once again charges the radiance running through her form to prepare for a surge. She doesn’t stop; rather she runs straight towards the rock, giving a quick salute to the newcomers and calling out to Railen as she does so: “Hi! Mind if I take the elixir?”
Then she leaps up and kicks downwards from a foothold, driving herself upwards towards the swordsman for just enough time to stretch out her hand… Into it is pressed a glass bottle.
Her smile now appreciative and accompanied by a nod, Azadokht kicks off the rock again and unleashes the lightning from her form - or tries to. The magic stutters in her hand, utterly ineffective, as she launches herself away past a startled Regin dark swordswoman to land alongside Diane. She hands the elixir to her; “You’re a better healer than I am,” she says.
And she is troubled.
Azadokht dashes, moving to J9, trading her Dragonshield for Railen's Elixir and attacking Hodeskall 3 with the Lightning Tome before continuing to K14.
Recommending that Diane waits for Azadokht to have her turn, moves to J14, trades her Pure Water for Azadokht's Elixir, continues to I13 and heals Talbot with the Elixir.

Railen leaped and bounded down his territory, no longer needing the perfect defense, to greet the other force on the battlefield helping the party rip and tear it's way through the fort heavy pass. "Thanks for the helping hand friends," he said to them with a friendly smile before looking at the sage and telling her with a grateful tone, "And someone that finally noticed the fine work that has went into my mask.....wait, do I know ya?"
But then the swordmaster's attention was lead to the wide open final fort and the commander looking to spill the blood of his comrades freely and in great amounts. "Hold that thought though. I got victory and justice to claim!" he explained to her before charging off with a sword in one hand and the Spire in another, using both to launch a decisive strike on the Hode-skall forces.
Move to J4 and use the Spire to turn that tile into mountain terrain.
Sophia falls.
Azadokht shakes herself a touch, the joy ebbing as she moves from dance to run. Calling upon her light, she raises her hand - then brings it down, the lightning surging behind the fort walls with it.
Azadokht dashes, moving to E14, attacking Hodeskall 56 with her Lightning Tome and continuing to F17.
Recommending that Diane moves to F13 and heals Sophia with her Mend Staff.
