Deploy: Leif, Finn, Nanna, Fergus, Safiya, Olwen, Karin, Lara

We have reached the outskirts of Tahra. The Empire is just about ready to start their assault on the city, but before the do, Leif intends to break through the enemy lines to enter Tahra to help bolster their numbers to attempt to defend the city. The resistance forces of Tahra are at their limits, and most of the mercenaries they had in the area have fled the scene leaving a couple Thracian Wyvern Riders in Dean and Eda, so Glade one of the old guard of the Leonster's Lanzerritter has decided to step out and help buy some time. Supposedly Shannan is also here, but he seems to instead be slouching around and being a womanizer. Strange. I don't remember Shannan being like that.

 Anyways, this map is an escape chapter, even though we're kind of doing the opposite of actually escaping. There's a lot of ballistas in the area that I'll need to watch out for, but for the most part it's just a rush towards Tahra while hopefully having the opportunity to visit houses along the way. The visiting houses part is likely what's going to cause the issues for this map.

Lara now being a dancer makes the Ballistas a lot more manageable, as I gain the ability to have Karin have enough movement to rush in and take them out. Glade can hold his own easily by sitting on the gate and letting the defense help him out. We get some accompanying generic units but they're mostly unhelpful. I can't remember if I even get anything for keeping them alive, so I have them stick around and be targets. I am able to advance quickly by use of rescue and mounted units, so it doesn't take too much time to reach where Glade is. I have Olwen leading the charge, while Karin flies around visiting various houses and dive bombing enemy Ballistas.

Eventually the boss starts moving, right about when I reach the perimeter of Tahra. I have Nanna hit him with a Wrath Earth Sword then finished him off. This causes all the initial enemies on the map to stop attacking, and also stops any remaining Ballistas. Eventually some Armors start flooding in from the north, while I had to spend a few turns getting Karin to capture the Bishop in the bottom left to take his Bolting tome and Physic, along with visitng the house for a Master Seal. Afterwards, we quickly head for the gates to exit the map.
