The Second Siege of the Dunlan Fortress - Turn 1

Post by Joshua » Thu Feb 02, 2023 10:07 pm

Uruk-Hai and Orcs - Mr. President

Image
Sheathing his weapon, the Uruk-Hai hero moves over to the large tree.

Image
He deftly and nimbly climbs it all the way to the top, and waits to make his next move.

Image
The ballista aims and fires!

Image
The projectiles collide with the ramparts, breaking off a section and exposing the defenders.

Image
Meanwhile, the rest of the band moves up, with the ranged ones loosing their arrows and bolts. Unfortunately the defender's armor protects them, resulting in no casualties.

Black Knights - Trollgineer

Image
Sir Darius climbs up to the parapets and steels himself.

Image
The Garrison Commander repositions over towards the low wall.

Image
An archer steadies his bow, and fires!

Image
It's a hit! First Blood!...?

Undead - Bragallot

Image
Naeve raises her staff, ready to cast a spell.

Image

Naeve: "What the?"

Naeve fumbles the spell and ends up creating ice directly beneath her, freezing her skeletal steed.

Image
Meanwhile, the Western-most skeletons begin their assault. (recommended listening)

Image
They bring down their ladder, and the armored skeleton attacks the spearman. The spearman successfully parries, however.

Image
More skeleton advance, and ready their ladder.

Image
The ranged Black Knights open fire, but miss or don't deal enough damage.

Image
'thud'

Image
As soon as the ladder comes down, Sir Darius grabs it and shakes it violently, but the skeleton barely manages to hang on.

Image
The skeletons help the troll push the siege tower and they push it all the way to the fortress.

Image
Ranged units exchange fire, without casualties.

Image
With a crash, the siege tower opens up and skeletons pour out!

Image
The bearded swordsman deftly deflects the Elite Skeleton's attack.

Image
The knight tries to shove it, but fails.

Thalia and Peasants - Trollgineer

Image
With nothing else to do, Thalia rebuilds a section of the wall.

Image
The goat-herder arms himself with a spear.

Image
The hunter runs up and fires onto the Uruk-hai below. He forgets to aim at the neck or under the arm, and their armor holds.

Image
After coming up with a plan, the farmer and woodcutter run around the courtyard.

Image
The farmer pries off one of the torches.

Farmer: "Got ya!"

Garrison Commander: "Uhm..."

Image

Farmer: "Ready? Catch!"

Image

Woodcutter: "Got it!"

Image
Unfazed by the peasant's shenanigans, the Viking runs over to the low wall and attacks the skeleton. He survives, however.

Image
Likewise, the Viking maiden climbs the ladder to the bulwarks.

Image
And prepares to defend the fortress.
