5/16.
in which the opposition is too formidable.
"What's left of us versus countless undead. Seriously?"
"With the right equipment, yes."
Her sword unsheathes.
What are your conditions?

Don't fight back unless absolutely necessary. Civilians will die regardless, if we want to end this we need to end it via the source.

6/16.
in which you must stop them at the source, with minimal casualties.
"That's what we intend."
"Won't they know we're coming?"
"Esgil isn't omniscient. Please, Kestrel."
You sigh.
What's changed since you last saw them?

7/16.
in which you've gone soft since your last encounter.
"Fine, but no sacrifices. My men ain't your puppets."
Giles shrugs.
"You're vile."
"A common opinion."
How much time do you have?

8/16.
in which you have too little—too much?—time to prepare.
The discussion continues indoors.
"Miracle they haven't reached us already."
"Hence the 'fortifications'?"
"S'all we got."
What role will you, personally, play?

9/16.
in which you'll clear the way for Eloa to kill him.
"No, I'm ending this."
"Giles..."
"He's doing this to spite me."
"Which means he's prepared!"
Psh. Lovers' quarrel.
What's your two cents?

10/16.
in which Giles' pride compromises the mission.
"You don't know me."
"I know Eloa, and I trust her more'n you."
He concedes, eventually.
You have something to tell Eloa in private.
What is it?

Morale is low among the ranks. Desertion is possible.

11/16.
in which morale is low--you suspect desertion.
Later, Eloa rages.
"Whatever happened to loyalty?!"
"Our enemy ain't regular."
"Lemme talk to them tonight."
How does she raise their spirits?

A story of a similar battle, long ago, in which the forces of humankind succeeded in beating back those of the devil.
