TURN 4 - The Brootalz and the Dootalz


"Oi you gitz, lez kik off da turn wif a BANG!"




"HURLA... BANG!"




The boulder, aimed at the Bull Demon opposing the french, flies a tiny distance and lands in the tree.




A crossbowbroot picks up the staff that belonged to the brootmage




He shouts the spell he's heard the brootmage use numerous times.

"TRAGOEDIA INFLICTAMUS"

A red beam shoots from the staff, aimed at the wounded Gritpaw.




Big ork is hit in da face




The supernatural powers restore Gritpaw to 2 inches of health while causing red spikes to appear on his skin




What a tragedy! The magik energy burned the second bunnyslippah to bits, and the red spikes prevent Gritpaw from ever wearing bunnyslippaz again!




WAAAAGHH

Gritpaw takes it out on a nearby knight, squishing his head like a bottle of toothpaste.




Gritpaw then picks up a royal spear and begins to chase the knight that stole his bunnyslippa




A brootal axefighta chops up a knight




Jagga climbs the wall and looks down at the shieldwall.

"Oi ya egghead, ya think yer all grumpy looking with yer big unibrow? Fite me and I'll give ya sumfin to nag about, yeah?"




The shieldwall takes a few steps back, creating an arena.




"Chill out, dickwad."




Another heroic duel begins




Jagga is first to strike. Bertinator dodges the fiery halberd.




He immediately responds and lands a blow on Jagga's shoulder




Jagga is dangerously quick to turn, ramming his weapon into Bert's face before the ork falls on the floor.




Jagga is also the first on his feet and hacks at Bertinator, who bails.




Bert dashes forward, swinging his OT hammer with great force.




Bert's dueling skills must be getting a little rusty after spending so much time with the Studlanders. Jagga is able to catch the end of his weapon.




"Do ya know who iz ma favorit brikwarrior?"

Jagga wrestles Bert for his weapon, pulling him in closer.




"Manly Fookin Santa!"

Jagga lands a headbutt that would make the mad father christmas proud.




Bert goes down and Jagga stands triumphant.

"Who iz next?"




The dootalz are next! They rattle their way towards the Falcons.




Two of them attack Lord Uldar. The Falcon hero kills one while blocking the other.




A royal crossbowman falls victim to the skellies




He's instantly converted to a dooter




The knight with the deer shield is also killed, but he remains fleshy in death.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - (No longer Ryu's) Dragon Guard


The Guard launches his second Flame Arrow, aiming it at the catapult.




The projectile hits but doesn't even sizzle upon impact. Too bad.




The Guard with the OT infused sword attacks the fiery tusken, but misses.




The Pyromancer and the Ninja exit the house. The ninja lobs a small package at the market square.




It's a smokebomb! The two traitorous Guards, Scytheman and the bartender can't see a thing.




*whooosh*

Before anyone has a change to blink, the ninja emerges on the other side of the smokescreen, carrying the severd head from one of the traitors.




Then it's the pyro's turn.

"Where there is smoke, let there be FIRE!"




And so it happens! The 3 Vymbournians catch fire.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - Les Leons de Dordogne


"Voilá! Briques jaunes!"




Gaspard gets to work and builds the blokbot... a sturdy yellow riot shield!




*dakka dakka dakka*

The blokbot fires the gatling gun at the nearby royal spearmen.




One of them, the one carrying the bunnyslippah, goes down.
The gun jams on the second shot though.




Gaspard and blokbot meet up with the other french, the hero covering the rear.




It's not uncommon for french soldiers to carry more wine than weapons into battle. One of them pours a glass of Pinot Noir on a chicken he just caught.




"Allez, *coq au vin* pour la vache!"




Aimed at the bull but rolled poorly, the chicken dinner lands in the hands of a fellow frenchman.




The frenchman enjoys his meal, but bleeds out from the wound in his leg due to the high percentage of alkohol.




It's Small Pauls time to shine! Two of his lesser squadmates jump on his giant shoulders.
The trio charges at the Demon Bull!




The steel weapons crash onto the thick black bullhide, but fail to deal any damage.




The Bull God retaliates! It headbutts the shit out of Small Paul and his mates.




Paul is one tough lad, and manages to withstand the blow. One french soldier is killed, the other disrupted.




Three more french fighters storm the Evil Cow! Their steal weapons flash: can the animal withstand this second wave?




It can! The Bull Demon's thick hide protects him once more.

But the french soldiers now cover him like ants on a lollipop, which severly limits his movement.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - Dragon Forest Rangers


The crossbowmen and ranger storm through the wall and open fire on the Falcon shield wall.




One critfails and accidently yeets his weapon. The other misses and nails a skeleton.




The ranger shoots the crippled Heavy. The Heavy is not injured, but knocked back significantly.




A Ranger on the wall jumps down into melee combat




Philomela is able to parry with her shield ánd counterattack, but no damage is dealt




A Ranger with an axe charges through the gap and attacks a Falcon




The Falcon parries and counters her weapon out of the Rangers hand.




Another Ranger jumps down from the wall, into glorious close combat!




Or so she thought. She underestimates her jump significantly, overshooting and landing in the worst way possible.




Gerhard calls upon nature to aid him in his efforts once again. He shouts at the trees,

"ribbit ribbit fleeb fight",

which apparently is treespeak for

"I want to start a fire and barbecue the entire city, I think that was our goal, right?"




A strong wind whips up, blowing leaves from the trees




A lot of leaves. They all fly with the wind, into Vymbourne.




The leaves pile up on Ryu, who has broken his Climate Promise, and the surrounding structures. The streets are now littered with flammable material.

(Feat success)




Oh no, Scytheman has a pollen allergy.
achoo!
The fire burning on scytheman now also sets the leaves on fire.




"FFUUUUU"




Gerhard enjoys the burning foliage. He does not want the leaf mage to disrupts the fires. So he kills he leaf mage.




Sir Dis Guy Fawks commands his dragon down from the Boulder and into the streets.
She can smell the treasures inside the Armoury. They are almost impossible to resist.




But TGF instructs her otherwise. He speaks with great authority and appeals to her desire for unlimited riches. He tells her to first get rid of all the Royals, one Guard at a time.

She obeys.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - Vymbournians


The fires in Vymbourne are spreading! The armoury and Bobo's barricade are now ablaze, Scytheman continues to burn, and the Boulder's first floor catches more fire. However, the fires on the bartender and his roof go out.










Bobo continues work on his catapult, performing another construktion aktion to enhance it!




He makes... an even bigger catapult! The green lady is not impressed.

"That's the same basket, dummy! Why did you upgrade everything but that!?"




"To fire bigger ammo." replies Bobo, while Rodri and Blackaxe the grey ork load up.




The catapult is aimed at TGF and his dragon.

*whooosh*

"HOLD OOOOONN!"




The shot is a critfail, so the two Vymbournian adventurers land way off target.




Rodri and Blackaxe are going to need a minute to get back on their feet.




The medik revives Viridius the salesman, at the cost of an arm and a leg. The bartender stands ready to load up the fresh lad with a beer.




Viridius, Scytheman and the bartender kill the dangerous ninja.




The bartender critfailed his roll. OH NO! He breaks his keg, and the delicious Maniak Beer spills on the sands of the market square!




This angers all bystanders, but especially Gilbert, who was really looking forward to his post-battle beverage




But it's bard Bardley Bardington the Fifth to the rescue! Always available to try and make a shitty situation less shitty.




"Neon nectar spilled, a tragic sight,
In this brikverse, a nocturnal blight.
Liquid bliss transformed, a spectral dance,
From frothy brew to arachnid advance!"



(feat succesfull)

The GT spiders begin to chomp on the nearby debris, eating away all fuel for the burning fires.




Viig the Viking picks up a crossbow, and together with the archer takes aim for TGF.




One of the arrows flies straight at the dragon rider, but the madman is able to smack the projectile out of the skies with his axe.

The other arrow strikes the dragon but deals no damage.




The Dragon Guars who switched sides performs a Stop, Drop and Roll to extinguish his flames. He picks an unfortunate spot.




To conclude the turn, the Tusken warrior swings his axe at the Guards who threaten him. He misses, but his burning head ignites his opponent.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - The Bulls


Cedric rummages through yellow briks, sheep guts and dead french feet to find...




The treasure he looted from the Armoury weeks ago!

It's two decorated minifigure skulls. One of them has an inscription reading 'COMOEDIA', the other 'STUPIDOEDIA'.




"Forth men! To seize elven treasure from orkish hands!"

One of the Bull aspects leads two of Cedrics' men towards the gatehouse, while the other stops to revive Warrick.




The 4 of them reach the gatehouse, where they find the Brootal chieftain Jagga blocking their advance.




And epic skirmish ensues.

The bull aspect attacks first, but he misses. Jagga critfails on the counterstrike, leaving him open to an Automatic Hit from Gilbert.




Gilbert and Axle both strike Jagga, but in an unexpected turn of events, a brootal is able to redshirt one of the blows from 11" away! Jagga is merely knocked back by Gilbert.




Jagga gets up quickly and strikes down the Bull aspect.




Warrick tries to perform his signature move, but gets his horns stuck in the wall.




Axle strikes Jagga in an Over The Top swing of his axe: Jagga loses an arm!




Gilbert is then able to seal the deal with another Over The Top attack.

Jagga Skullkrusha, feared in all of Vymbourne, is no more.




The Brootalz have been defeated


With his last powers the Bull aspect crawls over to QS Bertinator




... sacrificing himself to help the quantumsurfer back on his feet.




Cedric is eager to take hold of the treasure now, before the fleeing orks get away. He sees only one option, and tells the dwarf: "You'll have to toss me."




The dwarf spins his defensive machine while Cedric braces himself on one of the arms




YEET!




Perfect landing, perfect execution.




Cedric has control of the artifact.

"Now what the hell do I do with this?"




Back at the breached wall, Hanzo fires at the french but strikes the Bull Demon instead. "Oops..."




Bull God doesn't care and crushes one of the swarming french soldiers instead.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - Black Falcons


The Falcon medik revives General Alderic, and it's an overwhelming success! The leader of the royal forces gets to keep all 4 limbs.




The fiery bushes covering the dissident Ryu are ablaze! The sensei burns to a crisp, his treason shortlived.




Realizing their hero is now forever gone, the remaining dragon guard forces flee.




Ryu's Dragon Guard has been defeated


Uldar picks up the skeleton he was fighting in close combat and heads over to the skelemancer




SCHHMACK

The bonelord gets a taste of his own medicine and is ended. This means...




... yup. All skeletons fall to the floor, liveless once again.




Handicapped Heavy Henry doesn't do anything. The crossbowman behind him picks up a weapon and shoots a Ranger.




Two falcons gang up on a Ranger, ending her.




Another Ranger falls to a combined charge attack from two falcons.

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - Royal Guard


Alderic rallies his men.

"Glory and Victory will be ours! End this green monstrosity and destroy their wicked contraptions!"




The first wave of royal spearmen strike Gritpaw. One of them gets too close to one of his fists and pays the price.




The brootal mechanik makes a run for it. He has seen enough.
"Brootfigz iz fo sowkin up da bashin'."




Alderic leads the second wave of royal steel against Gritpaw.




"STOOPID LIL TICKLEEZ "




Gritpaw has had enough of these pricks. He decides to take off with unusual haste.




General Alderic and his men decide to give chase to the big ork, leaving the besieged city of Vymbourne behind.
Many years from now, we shall hear the epic adventures of the men who hunted Gritpaw.




The Royal Guard has left the battle

[bertinator]

TURN 4 - Bertinators' Party


Bert has to recover from his fight with Jagga. One of his men knocks an ork unconsious while another yeets his spear.




It's a good yeet.

[bertinator]

REINFORCEMENTS


More french arrive! 5 more men from Touraine, here to help slay a bull and sack a city.




An unknown knight enters the city.




It's QS MadMario!

"Hiya, Bert. I hope I'm not too late."
"Greetings, MadMario!"




"Who did you bring with you?"
"Blackthorne, Emthorne, House Spyrius and the Marshlands have sent me their finest warriors."




"But tell me, Bert, what's the status here in Vymbourne?"
"Well. Gerhard is almost out of rangers, but the french are approaching the wall and there's a dragon on the loose. We have them outnumbered two-to-one, so it should be fine."




"Alright, and what is Cedric doing?"

Cedric is trying to activate the artifakt.
"How do I turn this thing on? I'll probably need to say a spell first."
He tries to remember a phrase from an old tale that has been passed down from generations here in Vymbourne. The one a legendary warrior used to say before any fight. He mutters, "My head... burns... with... battle? Oh, no. War! My head burns with war!"




PEW PEW CRACKLE WHOOSHHHH




"I feel... OSSUM!"




Cedric points the staff at Gaspard, and the staff obeys his will - a bright green flash is seen for a short moment.




A giant yellow brik boulder comes hurtling from the skies




It strikes Gaspards' blokbot companion, smashing it into numerous pieces.




"Sick! I want more!" proclaims Cedric




This time, he points the staff at Gerhard the Green Knight




The bright green flash spreads to the plants around Gerhard. A bird lands on his shield.

"CAW CAW CAW"




The fish in the moat transform into sharks - one of them even grows arms and legs. A lizard becomes a crocodile, and the beasts begin to enter the city.




Two more crocs enter through the gap in the wall




A camel with a meleemonkey on it's back approaches Gaspard, awaiting his orders.




Finally, the black bird transforms into a dragon.

"Master Gerhard, lead the way. For ruin and nature!"
