There's an interesting point on the "running off" of the left flank.
In mechanical terms yep, we vanished ahead.
In actual rp, visual terms, we moved 12 paces in the time the rest of the group moved 24...
It largely came down to the oddity of timing that is caused by the actions per round system. Paul and I were both on a base move of 12 rather than 3 paces, but I couldn't blow rage that first round (needed to blow gnosis for something else), so we did our entire move in the first action.
Unfortunately, in the mass of combat, I didn't bother to raise the point really at the time since I didn't want to slow things down, but in retrospect I probably should have!
For everyone else, it was the majority of two rounds full pace at three rage per round to reach the Nephrack. For us, it was two actions.
IC, yeah, we were running for just under 8 seconds and were actually somewhat slower the first round that the rest of the spearhead (who made it twice as far as us in general), then in the next slightly under two seconds sprinted (or in my case leapt) at the Nephrack really quickly, covering twice the distance we previously had in a quarter of the time and started pounding it.
OOC, we shot ahead, then were overtaken, then caught back up as people reached the Nephrack, having taken two move actions to their 5 by that point.
Ah, the vagaries of time in MET combat :)
