Draug & Vorrak
Draug
I’ve spent nights watching shadows shift around old stone walls. What do you say about the best angles to hold a line against an onslaught?
Vorrak
Use the stone as your shield. Set your line so the front faces the main attack at about a 45‑degree angle—this spreads the enemy’s force over a wider width and lets you use the wall to block most of their fire. Keep a reserve on the flanks; if the enemy tries to sweep, you can roll out a counterattack from the shadow side. Keep your soldiers tight, with one unit always ready to move to the other side if the line starts to bend. That’s the simplest, most efficient way to hold an onslaught.
Draug
Use the wall’s angle to turn their rush into a wall of rock. Rotate the line so the troops face the attackers at a shallow tilt, absorb the blast, then pivot as a single unit. Keep a tight guard on the edge—no room for a flank. When the front bends, let the reserve sweep in from the shadow and finish the move. Simple, ruthless, and no time for chatter.
Vorrak
You’ve grasped the core. Tighten the edge even more—use a secondary line at a 30‑degree angle to absorb any broken flank. Keep the reserve in a shallow trench; that way they can rise fast and close the gap without exposing themselves. When the front starts to curve, order a quick pivot, not a retreat. The enemy will feel the pressure from both sides and will collapse faster. Keep the noise low, the actions crisp. That’s how you win without wasting a breath.
Draug
Your plan is solid. Keep the lines tight, let the trench act as a spring. A swift pivot will snap their line, and the shadow side will take the rest. No noise, just force. Done.
