Black Falcons - NPC
Sir Marcus smashes his hammer into Cedric's face. -1HP Cedric counterattacks, but fails to connect.
The archer fires a shot at the Bull on the hill, but misses.
Sir Darius springs into action, and jumps onto a ledge on the hill.
Then he lands in the thick of the enemy, and executes a deadly spin attack.
Triple Kill!
Finally, he rescues the Black Falcon who surely would have been overrun and slaughtered.
Eager to avenge his fellow's death, a Black Falcon attacks the Bull, but his swing is parried.
Black Knights - Archduke
The cavalry continue their charge, but an Easterling footman equips his spear and takes aim...
And against all odds, he throws the spear through a chink in the armor and right into the elite knight's gut.
Ouch.
His horse gallops on forward out of the fight.
A Spearman engages with the Easterling staff master, and it ends in a stalemate.
Two halberdiers attack Huang Lu, but somehow don't hurt him.
This spearman advances.
As do these troops.
The archers and crossbowmen reposition and release arrows! They slam straight into the Oliphant's side, wounding it! -1HP
Three swordsmen attack the Oliphant as well, but it's thick hide prevails.
Two more swordsmen and the heavy cavalry attack the Grimm Reaper, but miraculously, it survives.
And it takes a swordsman down in a counter.
The White King kills/tramples two more skeletons.
White King: "Advance men! We're breaking their lines!"
The White King encourages his men in a 7" radius around him.
Although he fails to kill any skeletons, another heavy cavalry rides up next to his King, ready to sacrifice his life if necessary.
Emboldened, the swordsmen crash into the remainder of the Undead's left flank.
One skeleton bites the dust.
More troops advance, and a halberdier bags himself a kill.
The last heavy cavalry kills the skeleton's steed right out from under him!
The two halberdiers and a knight run forward and arrange themselves into a phalanx formation, partially filling the gap left in the Viking's shield wall.
Army of Death - Cracjaw
Cedric prays to the Bull god for the power to destroy his foes, and his prayers are answered!
He goes berserk, hacking and chopping at Eyana. -1HP
Same goes for Sir Marcus. -1HP
Marcus strikes back, and wounds the Bull hero again! -1HP
A Bull tries to attack a Black Knight spearman, but his halberd is parried.
The Bull on the hill succeeds in impaling his opponent!
Bull Knight: "Alright, who's next?"
The two remaining Orks attack Sir Marcus, but can't seem to break through his armor.
Ignoring the two halberdiers that just attacked him, Huang Lu uses a series of jumps to make it up on the Oliphant.
He dumps out the body of the dead driver, and takes the whip for himself.
Unfortunately, it seems the beast doesn't want to do as it is told, and proceeds to lumber off in a random direction.
Fortunately, that direction happened to include two swordsmen, who are unlucky enough to be trampled under foot.
The Oliphant's occupants fire their arrows at the heavy cavalry, but can't pierce his armor.
Nearby, the Easterling halberdier gains the upper hand and cleaves a elite knight in twain!
The grunt moves up and retrieves his spear, then attacks a knight. The knight's armor holds, however.
The staff master dispatches a spearman.
And the swordsmen gang up on the Black Knight knight, decapitating him.
The Grimm Reaper tries to kill the Black Knight's second-in-command, but fails. The elite knight's counter fails too.
A handful of skeletons swarm the White King, hacking and stabbing at him. He loses an HP.
But kills one of them in return.
More skeletons attack the White King's bodyguard, but aren't able to wound him.
The duel between the skeletal Viking and the swordsman continues to go nowhere.
Same here. The Wraith attacks Sir John, and vice versa, but neither manage to damage the other.
More skeletons clash with the Black Knights, but nothing of interest happens.
Two armored skeletons attack the halberdier, but turns out heavy armor goes both ways.
The now horseless skeletal knight attacks Lillian, and with help from the ranged Undead, wound her! -1HP
A necromancer raises a skeleton back to 'life'.
The Elite Skeletons reposition, bracing for the inevitable charge.
The Dark Lord raises his sword and staff skyward, and chants a powerful spell. He casts an invisible (thank goodness) forcefield around all skeletons and allies in a 10" radius that protects from all projectile attacks. (So basically arrows.)
An undead knight continues to hammer away at a Viking, but neither manage to accomplish anything.
The remaining skeletons advance as best they can.
The three Uruk-hai/Orcs that were disrupted by the grenade explosion pick themselves up.
Lurtz receives an axe to the back as he disengages with Thror and dashes at Wilhelm.
Lurtz tackles him to the ground.
Von Bragallot: "No! Vhat are you doing?"
KA-BOOOOOOOM!
The explosion detonated both grenades on Von Brag's person, but they rolled crap for damage.
Lurtz' plan succeeds, and Von Brag is wounded and rendered unconscious for the rest of this turn. -1HP (Sorry Brag.)
On top of blowing Lurtz up, the explosion also manages to disrupt two Vikings.
With the Viking's shieldwall almost completely shattered, the Uruk-hai and Orcs break formation and charge into the fray.
Additional pic.
One Viking's throat is slit...
Another one is hacked to death...
And a third one is slain by the crossbow troops.
Although one of them is beheaded in a counter attack.
Secret Faction Unlocked! The Wolfpack - NPC
After sufficiently recovering from his grievous wounds, Thomas Cromwell is leading a handful of his men into battle once again. Scouts reported vast armies of Undead and Black Knights on the move, and Cromwell decided that they needed to ally themselves with their longtime enemy if they wanted to continue their normal lives.
He and his men observe the poorly guarded catapult, and race up the hill to intercept it. One man secures the booze on the way.
Dark Lord: "Well, better late than never..."
Reinforcements for the Undead!
A demonic entity strides onto the battle field!
It thunders forward into the fighting.
And attacks Eyana with it's double-bladed sword. -1HP
The Three Heroes - NPC
Lillian tries to line up a shot on the necromancer, but she misses the shot.
Muradin smashes his way forward, killing two more skeletons.
Sir John disengages with the Wraith and charges at the Dark Lord. He jumps into the air, swinging his halberd into Malum's side. -1HP
Sir John "DIE you heartless wretch!"
Dark Lord: "You weasel! Taste my full power!"
Sir John is hit squarely by a blast of necrotic energy, and throw backwards a considerable distance. He also loses an HP.
That had to have hurt.
Vikings - GI Elijah
Despite being outnumbered, the Viking fiercely fight back against the Uruk-hai and Orcs, and manage to bring down two Uruk-hai!
Thror Grindsson also slays an Uruk-hai.
Centauresses - StrongCoffee
Eyana brings her staff to bear against Cedric's helmet. (With the amount of head trauma he's received, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a concussion yet.)
The centauresses on the hill combine fire on him as well, and manage to bring Cedric down! (Guess I spoke too soon.)
Realized I never launched the catapult, so I did, and a halberdier is crushed by the stone.
