Hold the line! (Sign-up)

[Bragallot]

Westeron, the Northern reaches...



Sir Garth and the survivors of his expedition have made it close to the Black Citadel. As expected, only the strongest survived the many battles they fought against the undead. Garth leads a small company of heroes and soldiers, including Sorceress Mordra, Miranda Oneshot, Zahru, Skaie, Sir Brockram, Voytek and a Trogdor. Were it not for Zahru, Miranda and Garth would have perished after the wounds they took in their last battle, as well. Of course, the time it took them to recover was time Phineus could also use to bring back his champions...



And what about Brockram? Didn't he fall, too? You may remember the sole surviving dragoon from Carved in Stone who fought so heroically - that was actually Brockram, in disguise. What, you thought the BANNER CARRIER could fall so easily while a normal minifig cut down so many enemies? Pfft. (I believe there's an entry in the rulebook that explains heroes can always come back no matter what, don't judge me!).



Those who have seen the previous battles in this campaign may remember that the survivors would go on towards the final battle. These are all the troops that survived those battles.



SIr Garth: "We've finally made it, but the hardest task is still ahead of us. The way up to the mountains will lead us to the Black Citadel, where we will have to face Phineus and destroy the source of his power. If we do that, his undead army will crumble... I hope."

Voytek: "Let's go, before-"



Landor: "Garth! The undead are coming!"

Voytek: "- something bad happens..."



Landor: "Someone betrayed us! The undead, and the high elves, they attacked the village! Someone must have told them where we lived, what your plans were... We gathered all the forces we could and came to warn you!"

Sir Garth: "A traitor?!" (Said while twirling his weapon.)



Skaie: "That's right! You'll never make it to Phineus, Garth! The undead will soon come to destroy you! This is the end of the road for you!"



Sir Garth: "You?! How could you choose the dead over the living?!"

Skaie: "I do choose the living! I am an agent of the high elves!"



Skaie: "You are far too gullible, Garth, too easy to trust. You thought there was some remnant of your old friend, that pitiful mage, in me..."



Skaie: "But nothing could be less true. I used him, Garth, to enter this world, win your trust, and ultimately, thwart you!"



Miranda: "The undead are arriving!"









Mordra: "Garth, cut down that snake and hurry on to the citadel! We'll hold them off as long as we can!"



Brockram: "The BANNER CARRIER will not let even one of them get past!"



Zahru, Miranda and the Woad Elves quickly organize themselves to hold off the coming onslaught.



Voytek holds back for now, trying to gauge where he will most be needed.

Overviews







(Hold on, more is coming! I just don't wanna stress the forum too much by posting too many images at once.)

I will be controlling the undead and Skaie. For now their numbers are manageable, but more will continue to arrive throughout the battle. Garth's expedition will be badly outnumbered, but their purpose here isn't total victory. They need to kill Skaie so Garth can go onto the mountain path and towards the Black Citadel. When Garth has left the battlefield, it will be up to his companions to hold out as long as possible - every round they hold out is one more Garth will have to defeat Phineus before the necromancer can summon his servants. Undead defeated in this battle also won't show up to help Phineus when Garth confronts him.

Available factions:

Dragon Knights - Sir Brockram (hero), Trogdor, six dragon knights, two spearmen. - bann
Kingdom forces - Mordra (hero) and six pistoleers - Red Rover
Sir Garth (Champion) - lordintype
Zahru (Champion) - Zahru
Voytek (Hero) + wolf - Skip
Miranda Oneshot (Hero) - CaptainZebra
Woad Elves (yes, I changed their look) - Landor (hero), Nimra (hero), 4 axe warriors, 4 sword masters, 4 rangers, 2 Druids of the Holy Roeispaan. - motorhead fan

Stats will be sent. The heroes will move first in the order of PM's, and then the undead. Reinforcements will always arrive at the end of the round, so you know where they are before you need to send orders. This will be tough, I will throw every undead minifig I have at Garth's forces, so coordinating with your allies is recommended.

Have fun!

[RedRover]

I'd really love to be the female fire wizard, Modra I think!

[bann154]

Dragon knights if I may?

[motorhead fan]

I'd like the woad elves.

[CaptainZebra]

Miranda oneshot pls

[lordintype]

Yes, yes, YESSS! I'll take Garth

[Zahru II]

Sure, I'm game!

[TastySkippy123]

Dang it! To late

This looks like its going to be interesting

[Bragallot]

If Zupponn doesn't show up, you can have Voytek if you want, Skip.

[TastySkippy123]

If Zupponn doesn't show up, you can have Voytek if you want, Skip.

OK thanks, I will have him if zuppon don't wanna

[Duerer]

Nice weights. Should also get around working out, once feeling better.

[Bragallot]

Okay, I've added the stats and heroic clichés (see the spoiler tag), you can start sending orders. Remember - Garth has to get through the chasm as quickly as possible, and no undead can be allowed to follow him. The longer you hold out, the better. Good luck.

[Kommander Ken]

Sunuva shit, I missed the signups. This looks godly.

[Bragallot]

Better luck next time!
