After his victory and the re-assembling of the White Dragon Knights, Sir Garth moved onward towards the Phineus the Necromancer's Black Citadel. Facing constant undead attacks, he resolved to split up his army, hoping this would allow at least some of his forces to sneak through the enemy ranks for an assault on the Black Citadel before they would be overrun by the countless undead...



Welcome to the Devouring Swamp, the second leg of Sir Garth's campaign.



Leading this part of the invasion is Sir Konrad and his Wolfpack.



They are supported by a group of White Dragon Spearmen that are led by an officer.



Some of the remnants of the Royal armies who fought in Blood in the Sand have joined them. Sorceress Mordra leads 6 pistoleers of the Golden Lions while Voytek brings 6 Bull Elites to the fight.



how they managed to find and gain on Sir Konrad, but it is assumed Zahru had something to do with it.



Their opponent will be Aelcar the Shadow Wizard, one of Phineus' dark generals...



... and his horde of magical creatures.



Another cause for worry is this band of Crimson Knights who have been following Sir Konrad for a while and see this as the ideal time to strike.



The area in the middle is the Marsh, which slows down your troops to 2" movement. Units that get disrupted in the swamp are also devoured.

Objective:

The Kingdom forces should attempt to break through the lines of the undead and cross into the territory beyond. Surviving heroes and units will be able to partake in the last battle of this campaign which will be the assault on the Black Citadel, dead heroes cannot (unless they're brought back as undead, muhahaha). If the situation gets too dire, the heroes may call off the attack and retreat through the passage the Crimson Knights are filing through to fight another day. However, if you manage to destroy Aelcar, he won't be there in the last battle either.

You're vastly outnumbered, so this'll be harder than the first battle of the campaign.

Factions:
Sir Konrad (heavyfishcannon)
Sorceress Mordra (Silverdream)
White Dragon Knights (IV)
Voytek (Zupponn)
Zahru (Zahru II)

Sorceress Mordra please.

Voytek please

Konrad, please?

I'll take the white dragon knights if IV doesn't want them

I'll take whatever

Anything else, although I don't think there is any spots left. In any case, I am rooting for Mordra due to me controlling her Westrosian counterpart in my first forum battle.

Hell yeah I'll hop on the dragon knights!

I wanted Voytek since I named him, so if he dies, I'm holding you accountable.

I've added the stats in the spoiler tag. It'd probably be best if you posted your orders since the enemies are NPC's anyway. The heroes have clichés but they're just there to give you an idea, you don't have to stick to them completely.

For those who didn't make it, there'll be at least 3 more battles in this campaign.

Alright team, so what's the plan?

I've got the reaching weapons, so I can afford to stand on the bank. I suggest we stay OUT of the poop-water until we knock at least some kind of hole in their defenses - only 2" movement and insta-death disruptions are a death sentence.

I'm willing to have my spearmen cover the pistoleers, so we can set up some awesome fuck-off defensive position on the bank somewhere, and the heroes can cover us.

I'm too late. Again. Glad to see the wolves I summoned last battle survived.

Woot!

Sorceress Mordra: Activate the fire swamp.

Pistoleers: Hopefully get into a position behind the spears. If that makes it harder to fire, then belay that order. Move up, fire at anything in range and sidestep back.
