Catching the gaze of the Vampire Lord makes the samurai rethink their strategy. They gather together, protecting their chu-ko-nu.
Nearby, Tomoe and her troops hug the stone (I'm realizing just this second you probably meant the staircase wall? Sorry about that)
She tosses some caltrops on the path.
The Vampire Lord strikes with speed, but his faithful skeletons can't quite get into the fight.
The chu-ko-nu responds first, hitting two of three burst shots. The damage is insane, but so was the armor roll. The Vampire Lord just barely loses 1HP! The nearby samurai aren't able to pile on any damage.
It's not enough to slow him down, and he topples the samurai and tries to drink his blood. The samurai is just able to resist. The chu-ko-nu reloads.
The skeletons use their own rotting bones to build bridges.
The rest of the army advances.
Some vermin find weapons in the bone pile.
Engelier and his men charge valiantly toward the Artifakt.
"Aha! I leap toward victory, my friends, and the glory of..."
This gag is for Kevin Feige and Kevin Feige only.
Engelier tumbles in pain after landing on the caltrop. He is unharmed but embarrassed.
Van Helsing is not in good position.
"Cover me, ward!" he shouts, dashing forward into great danger.
He reaches into the water...
Jackpot! (His hand is covered in mosquito bites, also)
He tosses the dynamite into the pile of bones.
The bones scatter and one of the vermin is returned to dust. Van Helsing and his ward run toward the Artifakt.
The archer realizes he still has a long way to go (next turn he'll be up top)
With epic valor and incredible music, Arthur and his men glide toward the Artifakt, the ground blooming at their feet. (My hands are too clumsy to place all the grass and flowers but believe me, it's all there)
The archer and chu-ko-nu engage in a duel.
The chu-ko-nu is slain, but his bolt ripped the crossbow out of his foe's hands.
Overwatch.
