Sir Marcus Duhanden and his Troops - Scribonius
Andrew and Fritz lock shields and advance, with Sir Marcus right behind them. The Uruk-hai Officer fires in response, and the arrow bounces harmlessly off of Fritz's shield.
Sir Marcus then strides up to the Uruk-hai officer...
And bashes him into the boulder! -1HP
Geoff and Stan both fire at the nearest armored Uruk-hai, but neither shot manages to hurt him.
Easterlings - Gorvoslov
The last crossbowman tries to push Muradin off of the Oliphant,
But ends up slipping on some blood and falling to the ground. He survives the fall, however.
After failing multiple times, the Easterlings finally manage to overwhelm the lone halberdier in the ruins.
Knights of the Blue Lion - Gorvoslov
Horrible Horrace and his men move forward, with Horrace making it onto the ruins.
Horrible Horrace: "Yes! Now for my evil plan!"
Sadly, however, gunpowder has only recently been invented by none other than Wilhelm von Brag, let alone a remote detonator and radio signal, etc.
Note: I rolled a heroic feat to see if Muradin could successfully control the Oliphant, because it is right in the way. He passed, so he moved it toward the Undead's side of the field a little bit.
Bull Knights - SirZaphod
The Bulls withdrew from combat and skirted the Black Knight's flank, hoping to outmaneuver them.
Cedric engages a knight, but neither of their attacks hits the mark.
Sir John Lannister - NPC
Sir John moves up and swiftly beheads two skeletons.
Black Knights - NPC
After several attempts, this skeleton is finally dispatched.
The entire bulk of the army then withdraws and repositions itself a little further back.
This knight also retreats onto the ledge.
The heavy cavalry continues to charge, killing two skeletons and disrupting an archer and the knight that got smacked earlier.
The White King beheads the Orc that murdered his horse.
This swordsman runs over near some friendly units.
Undead - SirZaphod
These guys get up from being disrupted by the cavalry charge last turn.
They swiftly encircle the Black Knight's right flank and attack, but no one dies.
The bulk of the Undead quickly advance and engage the Black Knights, but again, no casualties.
As he rides by, the Grimm Reaper slices Sir John with his scythe. -1HP
After failing to raise the Troll, the two necromancers march up with the army.
The last remains of the Undead's left flank attack the charging heavy cavalry, but fail to inflict any damage.
Wilhelm von Bragallot - Bragallot
Wilhelm grabs another smaller rocket, and strides back over to his launcher.
He adjusts the angle before lighting it up!
BA-BOOOOM!!!
Missing his targets by a few inches, only one necromancer dies, as the other one and the Elite Undead are disrupted.
The explosion does manage to freak out the Oliphant, who rears up and charges wildly.
It ends up quite a ways away, with Muradin holding on just barely thanks to his axe.
Uruk-hai - Infinity (The Orcs have all died.)
The two heavily armored Uruks engage with the two heroes, but fail to get through their defences.
One ends up falling to a counter, however.
The Officer fires his crossbow at Sir Marcus, but misses the shot.
Lillian Windstrider - Mr. President
Lillian: "Hey! Hooded man! Catch!"
After rolling a 10 on a d10, von Bragallot catches the vial perfectly.
Lillian: "Maybe you can use this stuff with your rockets!"
Wilhelm von Bragallot: "Zhank you very much!"
Lillian then fires an arrow at the Grimm Reaper, wounding him. -1HP
Muradin Doomforge - NPC
Muradin tries to climb back onto the Oliphant, but ends up falling on his back.
Not discouraged, Muradin races forward and attacks a Knight of the Blue Lion.
After rolling some massive overskill dice, Muradin makes mincemeat of the swordsman.
Sir Darius Wolfshelm - NPC
Sir Darius, finding his previous foe dead, finds a new one, but fails to re-kill it.
Endgame
Since SirZaphod hasn't given the Grimm Reaper one feat to do this entire game, I figured this is a good time. The Reaper starts chanting some mumbled gibberish,
And one,
Two,
Three,
Four intact corpses come back to life!
Whoah! What's this?
Secret Faction Unlocked! The Protoss!
Immortal: "I return to serve!"
It seems as though the Mysterious Yellow Thing is in fact a Protoss Carrier, and now a group of Protoss have warped down to the wrecked ship...
It looks like that probe is retrieving something...
Aha! It's a crystal of sorts.
And it appears as though the Protoss are escorting the Probe... Hmm...
