[HH] The Battle of the West Emnet Plains - Turn 7 + 8

Post by Joshua » Sat Nov 06, 2021 10:20 pm

Black Knights - NPC

Image
This halberdier skewers a skeleton.

Image
The archers fire off a volley...

Image
And kill the Ork Officer.

Image
A swordsman and spearman attack one of the last Orks, but fail to kill him.

Image
These two swordsmen gang up on the Elite Skeleton, but it's armor holds.

Image
The crossbowmen fire at two different targets...

Image
And manage to bring down one of them!

Image
The heavy cavalry continue their attack.

Image
And two more skeletons fall.

Image
But the lone Ork retaliates and manages to kill a knight's horse.

Image
The lead knight attacks the last skeletal crossbowman, and the results are predictable.

Image
Frederick moves up, skirting the edge of the still-burning fire.

Sir Marcus Duhanden and his Troops - Scribonius

Image

Sir Marcus (bowing) "Pardon me, my liege for intruding on your duel."

White King: "You are forgiven."

Image
The two of them move up together.

Image
Geoff racks up another kill.

Image
Andrew and Fritz advance and attack the spear-wielding Ork, but to no avail.

Easterlings/ Knights of the Blue Lion - Gorvoslov

Image
Two of the last Easterlings attack a Black Knight from behind.

Image
And kill him!

Image
Somehow, both the Lion Knight swordsman and the Easterling both fail to hit Muradin, and Horrible Horrace can't seem to get his sword close enough to cut off the Dwarf's beard.

Image
Even help from the archer doesn't cut it, and Muradin stands strong.

Image

Horrible Horrace: "Well screw this! These Undead were supposed to have crushed their opponents! I'm certainly not risking my neck for these incompetent fools!"

Image
But then Horrace notices that the Bull Knights have taken two hostages. He uses his feat to commandeer the Oliphant.

Image
He then drives it over towards the Bulls.

Image
The Oliphant driver, seeing enemies closing in, decides the best option is to live to die another day. Also known as running like a coward.

Image
These two chose on a similar course of action.

Bull Knights - SirZaphod

Image
Cedric grabs the unconscious Sir John...

Image
And chucks him into the Oliphant's rear basket, followed by Lillian. He himself climbs in afterward.

Image
Then the Oliphant and the last Bull Knight make for the edge of the battlefield.

Wilhelm von Bragallot - Bragallot

Image
Von Brag grabs his last rocket and launches it straight up into the sky, hoping to distract the enemy.

Image
Critical Success! Cedric, Horrible Horrace, and the other Bull are completely distracted for the rest of the turn.

Image
Wilhelm then sprints forward 18 inches!

Image
And murders the last Bull Knight.

Undead - SirZaphod

Image

The Grimm Reaper's Severed Head: "Rise my minions! You must delay the Black Knights for as long as possible."

Image
Success! Many skeletons rise once again, including the two black ones,

Image
As well as this one...

Image
And this one...

Image
An Elite one...

Image
And finally, this spear-wielding skeleton.

Image
The remaining skeletons as well as the newly-revived ones all attack the Black Knights, but only one swordsman is slain. The Dice really didn't like the Undead this turn.

Image
The armored one as well as the black skeletons gang up on von Brag,

Image
But end up losing one of their own to a counter.

Sir Darius Wolfshelm - NPC

Image
Finally, Sir Darius murders the skeleton he had been dueling with for 2 turns!

Image
He then ambles over and kills two more with a slash of his sword.

Muradin Doomforge - NPC

Image
Muradin charges over to the Oliphant, and buries his axe into the armored skeleton.

Sir John Lannister - NPC

Image
Sir John regains consciousness and immediately runs over to Cedric and Horrace and shoves them!

Image
Horrible Horrace is thrown from the Oliphant, smacking into the ground below.

Image
Cedric is more fortunate, getting his foot stuck on one of the Oliphant's spikes.

Lillian Windstrider - Mr. President

Lillian remains knocked out.

Protoss - Alarak? Karax? Vorazun?

Image
This is the last direct image taken of the Protoss. Clearly they don't like being spied on, especially when it comes to secret crystals.

Turn 8

Bull Knights - SirZaphod

Image
Miraculously, Cedric is able to regain his footing and attacks Sir John!

Image
After a brief struggle, Cedric pins Sir John up against the basket with his axe at Sir John's throat.

Endgame!

Image
The Oliphant driver as well as some Blue Lion Knights are able to tactically withdraw the field.

Image
The Oliphant, along with it's passengers, escapes!

Image
As do the two remaining Easterlings.

Image
The last Undead fulfill their purpose, delaying the Black Knights long enough for the Oliphant to escape.

Image

Image

Image

All: "They got away..."

Image

Sir Marcus: "Well, at least we've captured one of them!"

White King: "Good. Have him put in chains and taken away."

Sir Marcus: "Very good, my liege."

Well at least we archived our secret objective of capturing those 2 heroes, that was "definitely" an objective from the start and not something I made up last minuets as a way to salvage a lost battle.
