Of Fire and Steel - Turn 5

Post by Joshua » Sat Mar 05, 2022 4:31 pm

It's getting down to the wire!

Three Heroes - NPC

Image
Lillian is able to successfully control the Oliphant, and it veers around back into the Undead's lines.

Image
Muradin charges forward and skewers two crossbow skeletons.

Image
Sir John continues to attack the Elite Skeletons, but to no avail.

Wolfpack - Mr. President

Image
Thomas and the mounted Wolf both attack the abomination, with Thomas stabbing it right between the legs. The abomination howls in pain. -1HP

Image
It counterattacks, but it's blade is no match for heroic armor!

Image
The other Wolfpack guy starts yelling and wildly swinging his sword at the Bull, but isn't able to find a killing blow.

Undead - Cracjaw

Image
The Uruk-hai armed with the halberd continues to fight the Viking.

Image
The ranged Orc and armored Uruk-hai manage to kill another Viking.

Image
And to add insult to injury, a black skeleton stabs the vulnerable Thror, taking him out.

Image
Skeletons execute another spearman, but lose one to a counter.

Image
The three Elite Skeletons gang up on a heavy cavalry, but due to crappy damage rolls he survives without a scratch.

Image
These two are still fighting each other.

Image
The Wraith suddenly appears in front of Sir John, and slashes him across the chest.

Image
And thus the stalwart defender of the kingdom is slain.

Image
Huang Lu draws his swords and chases after his stolen ride!

Image
And in a sick twist, he slices the Oliphant's hamstrings, causing it to bellow loudly in protest.

Image
The massive creature rears up on it's hind legs...

Image
And falls to the ground dead with a terrible crash! Lillian is knocked unconscious and the second-in-command is thrown off his horse. Plus a swordsman is crushed under the beast.

Image
Skeletons quickly overwhelm and kill him.

Image
Huang Lu then spies the approaching archers and takes cover. (Yeah, he went a little overkill on his feat.)

Image
The last Easterling footman impales a crossbowman.

Image
On the other side, the remaining troops fail to do anything of consequence.

Image
The spearboi finally ends the stalemate with a quick thrust of his spear.

Image
But the Ork officer is crushed under Sir Marcus' hammer after failing to attack.

Image
The hellish abomination swings his blade and cleanly cuts two centauresses in twain.

Image
The Bull Knights fire their last shot, and it crushes a archer!

Image
The Dark Lord takes advantage of a lull in the duel to enchant his sword, making it even more deadly.

Image

White King: "Spells and magic will not save you now, Malum!"

Dark Lord: "We'll see about that!"

Image
The pair begin dueling again, kicking up a flurry of dust which totally envelopes them.

Image
After several minutes, the sound of swords can no longer be heard, and the White King emerges from the dust cloud. "It is finished..." He whispers.

Image
Battered and weary, he staggers forward, and drops his shield.

Image
He collapses to the ground as blood begins to ooze from his mouth.

Image
He manages to pry off his helmet and turn over. "Now there can finally be peace..." He murmurs.

Image
The Dark Lord has fallen!

Image
Across the battlefield, the Wraith stands up...

Black Monarch: "I am free..."

Image
And in a bright flash of light, he disappears, leaving only his black sword.

Centauresses - StrongCoffee

Image
The last centauress rides down the ledge and fires her bow at a skeleton, but fails to kill it.

Image
Eyana gallops forward and communicates with the two wandering horses.

Image
She successfully convinces them to aid her! StrongCoffee gains 2 normal horses to control. The black one goes over and bites a skeleton to death!

Image
The other one is less successful.

Black Knights - Archduke

Image

Elite Knight: "The king has fallen!"

Image
He dismounts his horse, draws his sword, and prepares to defend the King to his dying breath. All Black Knights troops now suffer a -1 skill modifier due to their loss of morale. The Elite Knights are unaffected, however.

Image
A halberdier kills another skeleton.

Image
This Knight shield bashes an Elite Skeleton, but it's heavy armor prevails.

Image
ZZZzzz...

Image
On the right flank, nothing happens as the troops duke it out with the Easterlings.

Image
Same goes with this spearman.

Image
An archer takes revenge for his fallen comrade.

Image
Then the group splits up and advances.

Image
But Huang Lu springs out of hiding and beheads another archer! The crossbowmen fire back, but fail to pierce his armor.

Black Falcons - NPC

Image
The Falcon archer lands a well aimed shot right at the spearboi's gut.

Image
With the Orks finally dealt with, Sir Marcus moves up to deal with another opponent.

Image
He brings his war hammer down on the abomination's ankle, bringing it to it's knees.

Image
And lastly, the archer advances to the other hill.

Von Bragallot - Bragallot

Image
Unfazed by the fact he is on fire, Von Brag helps himself to a fallen Viking shield.

Image
Then he runs past two enemies, catching them on fire.

Image
And while still on fire, he kills one of the black skeletons.

Vikings - GI Elijah

Image
The final Viking disengages from combat, strolls over and decapitates an Orc.

Endgame:

Image
The fire behind the Uruk-hai goes out completely.

Image
But the other one continues to grow, now becoming a Size 4 Hazard.

You have a duplicate thread for this turn.

as for my orders, beat up on skeletons, stay away from the abomination.
Except the white horse, who will continue attacking the catapult crew.

Hmm. That's weird. Not sure how that happened.

What would you like Eyana's feat to be?

Let's have her try to inspire the team to fight with greater ferocity.
