(I say spearhead because the remaining wolves followed right behind the dire wolf’s charge.) ( including the dire wolf ) to buy me time to escape. Not long after having escaped the chaos, I was able to calm down enough to notice how stupid it was for me to run like that. I had over 500 men and was being attacked by a mere 40-something creature; if I had told my man to spit at those wolves, we would have drowned them with saliva alone. ( I really felt stupid at that point ) Thus I promptly turned around and ran back toward the fight. At least I ran towards the noise of the fighting. Even though I had not run far, the fog had already blocked my vision, so nothing was visible. ( that was my second and last stupid mistake ) In my rush to get back to try and avoid needless deaths among my troops, I ran too far ahead of my guards.
( as previously mentioned running away was the stupidest thing I could’ve done, had we fought head-on, it would have been a landslide victory for us) It is a very anti-climatic way to end my first expedition, but it is what it is.
