Default Re: Flagellant Atral 9 blessing

Followup: I just fought a tough battle against some indies that I won solely due to the dual-bless.

My forces -

1 Herse
1 Gode (prophet)
8 jot axe
10 jot woodsmen

Indies

1 mounted commander
1 commander
26 crossbowmen
21 heavy cav

1st round the crossbows score at least 6-8 hits on my concentrated force. 2nd round the heavily armored horsemen slam into my ranks, killing 2 woodsmen and an axeman. 3rd round another 2 woodsmen and an axeman fall beneath the slashing swords of the cavalry, while my dwindling attackers acquit themselves of a half-dozen of their mounted foe. 4th round the crossbows fire again, scoring a lucky strike on my prophet who then turns away, thus demoralizing my entire army and beginning a general rout. However, 5 of the woodsmen and the herse are also struck in the same barrage and they go berserk! These maniacally-brave, fanatically loyal followers of the King of Kings, Lord of Winter, and Prince of Rivers proceed to mop up the remaining heathens, heedless of their own casualties and outnumbered at least five to one, righteous fury filling their hearts. Another trio of woodsmen fall before the unbelievers finally succumb to the relentless onslaught of giants avenging their fallen comrades, the pitiful few heathen survivors fleeing into a nearby forest.
