Clerics revitalize a fallen Löwengard, while the an officer chops off the last necrolyte.
The rest gang up on the two knights, the ghoulish champion succumbs to overkill, while the vampire loses 2 hp, but quickly regains 1 from his bloody chalice.
Bjarn
Bjarn charges to deliver the final blow.
Nearby infantry are wise enough to not get into the way of a mad Norse, as he delivers a mighty blow...
And despite having crits on both damage and armor, Bjarn's overkill with 2 points of damage put an end to the vampiric knight, and thus eliminates the invading party completely.
UNDEAD: ELIMINATED
Drakhirri
The Lord dusts himself off, then moves past the ruins with his men. Objective Complete!

Not going to elaborate much on who won, because nearly everyone did. Except for Silverdream. Yyyeah.
Epilogue:
'My Lord! Are you alright?'
'Never better, never better.'
'Which is partially because of your assistance, Miss Crowclaw. You kept your part of the bargain, and so will I: some of my finest warriors shall accompany you back to Dawnport.'
'I'm greatly honored-'
'You! Liana Crowclaw, am I right? The daughter of Niol! Is this how you honor your fathers name? By forming an alliance with the venomous serpents who partially caused his demise? Not to mention how these treacherous wurms sneaked to safety behind our lines while we were facing the very death itself!'
'Alright, that's enough. While I don't give two damns about petty squabbles, I would like to point out that you are calling us 'treacherous wurms' on our very own land. Here, I rule, and now, I could chop you off to little bits if I wanted to, but you're not even worthy of my blade.'
'What this Lady and her allies did, they did it as part of our bargain. Now with that settled, you should go back and lead your wounded warband to regroup. You have suffered quite a loss today, and unlike you, the undead need no rest before they strike again. And if they do, I will watch from the highest tower of Drakhelm as they tear you and your pityful forces apart... because I suppose you wouldn't need us, even then.'
Honor is an outdated concept for us Drakhirri. In a war you either win or die. We usually aspire to the former of the two possibilities. But you heroic and just imperials can have the latter, with your pathos and virtue.'
So that was Battle near Drakhelm, hope you enjoyed it, and the Shattered Empire storyline will continue soon!
