Alas, not even that consolation. Neither dragonewts nor Yelmalians are chaotic, just well organized and mercenary (and the Lunars have far more money).
The human soldiers aren’t Yelmalion. Those were the cannon fodder the Lunars threw at the cradle during the initial testing of defenses. These are Yanafal Tarnils Lunars in full glory (with Death and Moon runes), hence their Red Goddess (riding the chaotic Crimson Bat) on their shields. So die die Chaos!!!!
On rereading my copy of The Cradle, you appear to be largely correct, as the humans are from either the Marble Phalanx and/or the Silver Peltasts regiments. So much for my memory. I should really have pulled out my old boxed set to read along before now, but have been too afraid of damaging it, and it seems weird to spend as much or more for its PDF than I spent for it, back in ye olde days.
PS: The cannon fodder weren’t the Yelmalians; they are later, after the recapture.
PPS: The Buller died fighting the non-chaotic dragonewt, not a Silver Shields man. Unless he followed the Malkioni version of The Bull, in which case they are all Krjalki, he *still* didn’t die killing Chaos. And how did the klanth (korff in the book) stab *through* him, anyway?
The klanth’s got a sharp tip, and if you push hard enough, and the target is soft enough, and the weapon is sturdy enough, you can push anything through someone, I suppose.
That sharp tip makes the Klanth different from the Aztec saw-edged club. I would have expected the Klanth to be a strictly hewing weapon. Looks like our quite late Storm Bull didn’t see that coming, either.
Rut roh!
Looks like the fears for this guy’s welfare were justified.
He knew the job was dangerous when he took it. But yeah, it looks like the Eternal Battle for him.
ooooops!!!!, first to fall. Hope there will be no more…..
The fatality rate of the cradle scenario is very high for rune levels…
He died doing what he loved… killing the legions of chaos!

No worries. His friends can teleport him back to the Orlanthi temple in Pavis…
They can Heal Body right there.

He’s dishing out the hurt in last week’s panel, looks like critical hits to the head on two different Lunar soldiers to me.

Too, beaked dragonewts are pretty strong, so there’s that going for them when they smite you.
All around me are familiar faces, worn out spaces, worn out faceees
Woke and early for the morning races
