In Which a Fortress is Besieged [Turn 04]

Image

The cannon and ballista reposition, and several crossbowman take aim alongside them.

Image

The combined fire tears the gatehouse to pieces.

Image

The oil crew is similarly obliterated.

Image

The axemen, now in the clear, take turns beating on the gate. They do three points of grinding damage.

Image

The other infantry advance and start hacking at the stones.

Image

Mathias, ever the kind and wisdomous fig, shouts up at Anselme, his voice dripping with mockery: "Boo hoo Help us, our enemies are so numerous and powerful mimimimimimi!"

Image

Anselme, so savagely mocked and mortally offended, is taken away on a douche canoe.

Image

"Wait, what?" he says, shocked and dismayed.

Image

He's high above the battle now.

Image

Infantry are ready to mount the siege tower once again.

Image'

With the sound of mystical magiks a series of bricks manifest to stabilize the tower.

Of course, this could only be done by the Brytish wizard....

Image

Which means the fire orb is doomed to crash back to earth.

Image

It barbecues these defenders so bad they become ash covered off-brand skeletons. They also die.

Image

The last armored guard is slain by two vicious strikes.

Image

They take up a strong position on the wall, ready for a fight from either direction.

Image

The crossbowman both crit-fail and drop their bows.

Image

"My lady! What are you doing!" the bannerman shouts hopelessly, but Jeanne cannot hear him because she is cursing in her helmet, the coarse language echoing in the steel.

"You starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O for breath to utter what is like thee! you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile standing-tuck!"

Image
Image

Jeanne, Peer of Touraine, hurtles off the donjon to intercept Wymer.

Image

They crash softly, delicately even (daintily, if you will), and begin to fight.

Image

Though they are joined swiftly by Jeanne's guard. The levy swordsmen prepare to defend the gate. Wymer is wounded in the melee, and he loses 1 HP (1 remains).

Image

Atop the walls, these archers turn their foe into a pincushion.

Image

He falls over the battlements onto the tree, his blood flowing down the leaves in full view of his countrymen who, no doubt, are beginning to rethink their involvement.

Image

Anselme discovers he can steer the douche canoe.

Image

Not well, however.

Image

He flips from the douche canoe.

Image

He materializes on the other side of the battlefield, a la the 1979 smash hit video game Asteroids, disrupted but unharmed. The douche canoe vanishes as mysteriously as it arrived.

Image

Tomoe flips and zips up to the top of the wall.

Image

She flips. She zips. I dare say she even spins.

Image

She pushes off the unarmed crossbowmen.

Image

They splatter violently on the ground.

Image

The samurai make their way toward the rear gatehouse.

Image

One of them climbs the tower.

Image

Special delivery!

Image

The Fyrthings land on the ground, narrowly avoiding damage. They slay one guard.

Image

Though one is swiftly butchered by a mace.

Image

"Hey!" a Fyrthing complains when he is engaged by the samurai.

Image

"Take that!"

Image

"That'll teach you to attack me, the pride of--" he continues his soliloquy, describing his identify and upbringing in excruciating detail that would make even Miguel de Cervantes scoff, not to mention modern legends like George R.R. Martin or Mike Rayhawk.
