Reaper: "Rise, minions!"
Success! Two skeletons start to pick themselves back up.
The two forward Uruk-hai run forward to attack the halberdier, but both manage to fall flat on their faces after critically failing their skill rolls.
Another Uruk-hai runs up and attacks, but fails to break the Black Knight's heavy armor.
The final Uruk-hai advances as best he can in his heavy armor.
Two Orcs gang up on the spearman and decapitate him.
Then the other two advance and combine their attacks to slay the knight.
Militia - Mr. President
Sir Marcus winds up for a hard swing...
'wham!' He hits the armor so hard it starts flying through the air!
'crash!' It slams into the Elite Skeleton, disrupting them both.
And finally, after several turns of battle, the remaining militia men deal such an inordinate amount of damage they manage to kill not only the possessed armor, but the Elite Skeleton underneath! Huzzah!
The crossbowman remains in close-combat with the skeleton after once again failing to kill it.
The pair then move up.
Undead - Cracjaw
The crossbow skeleton takes aim at the militia... and misses.
The two newely-revived skeletons attack the ranged Black Knights, killing the last archer while losing a skeleton to a counter attack.
The Undead halberdier brings his weapon to bear, slaying his living counterpart.
Naeve: "Alright, time to get involved."
Naeve leaps from the battlements, using Sir Marcus to stick the landing, disrupting him in the process.
While he's defenseless she takes the opportunity and slashes him, failing by one point to overcome his armor.
Sir Marcus: 'Of course you fight dirty! I should have expected that."
Sir Marcus retaliates and slams Naeve in the chest with his hammer, wounding her and knocking the wind out of her. -1HP
Finally, the last Elite Skeleton engages a halberdier, but doesn't score a fatal blow.
Black Knights - Bragallot
Sir Darius: "Watch out, it's Legolas!"
The orcs stare at each other in confusion, having never heard that name before.
Sir Darius: "bah, never mind."
Sir Darius: "Always watch your back."
The red-plumed halberdier attacks the advancing Uruk-hai, and here's his damage roll.
He effortlessly cleaves apart two Orcs.
The red knight advances and slays the other newly-resurrected skeleton.
Not wanting to endanger Sir Marcus, the crossbowmen reposition and instead fire on the Grimm Reaper, wounding it. -1HP
And lastly, the final swordsman dashes up closer to the fighting.
