In Which a Fortress is Besieged [Turn 01+]

Image

The defenders race to their positions.

Image

Jeanne takes a stroll as her orders are carried out. Where could these lads be rushing toward?

Image

Image

Of course! They construct a barricade in front of the gate.

Image

The defense is prepared, as much as it can. Jeanne and the bannerman watch carefully from the donjon. Two archers take position inside the gatehouse.

Image

A citizen brings fire barrels to the walls so the archers may shoot flames upon the foe.

Image

Mathias, in full view of the enemy, begins to dine on an irresponsible amount of food. Nearby, crossbowman begin their climb into the siege tower.

Image

"Ah, Moravius, you've arrived." Mathias says.

"I've been here the whole siege, my lord," the wizard answers.

"Uh, right. Of course. But enough of that, tell me why you have sought me out."

"My lord, I only wish to remind you that if I am able to get inside or upon the walls of the foe's fortress I can tell you precisely where the artifakt you seek is located."

"Ah! This is fortuitous news! We can then use it to our advantage, this forbidden and esoteric knowledge..."

"Actually," the wizard interrupts. "The nature of this knowledge will be known to all as soon as I know it."

"How-" Mathias begins.

"It is not important," the wizard continues, "but I would like to be delivered into the fortress as soon as you can spare the troops."

Image

Mathias thinks on the wizard's words as the siege tower is pushed toward the fortress.

Image

A break is made for the ballista and enginers move pavise shields to protect it.

Image

Once in range the ballista fires.

Image

FIRST BLOOD awarded to the attackers!

Image

Nearby, the cannon fires but the shot is easily absorbed by the strong walls.

Image

The defending archers think they have an even chance against these crossbowmen.

Image

Wrong! Two more are just inside!

Image

However, a fire arrow quickly dispatches a Bryton.

Image

His body falls in disgrace amongst his countrymen.

Image

Revenge is taken swiftly, however.

Image

Inside the castle a pot of oil is being prepared...
