Enemy at the Gates (Round 3)

* Bull garrison *

Image

Angrix groaned as he pushed himself up, wondering whether he had hit his head too hard as he was suddenly confronted by a kind of warriors he had never seen before and had no clue of how they had appeared right behind his fortress.

Angrix: "Who are you?"

Officer: "We are the Falx Republic and have come to enslave you. Resistance is futile."

Image

Angrix: "We'll see about that!"

He scrambled towards the Starcapes' dropped weapons.

Image

"YAAAAA!"

Image

Headshot baby! Two shots, two kills.

Image

Angrix went completely mental, rushing to pick up melee weapons.

Image

Faced with the general's rage, the crossbowmen quickly drew their sabres.

Image

Angrix' mace missed. The magic sword hit, but he felt how tough the Falx armour was because it failed to penetrate.

Image

One of the crossbowmen yelped as he cut off his own hand. The other failed to penetrate Angrix' thick armour with his sabre.

Image

A crossbowman ran up the stairs, noticing the danger, and hit the lever.

Image

The gate was closed, and the crossbowman could be happy with himself.

Image

The phalanx' attack on the wraiths was devastating. Three were cut down despite their attempts to dodge or block.

Image

The shark got what he had been waiting for.

Image

The phalanx couldn't hit the skeletons just yet, but they were ready to react the moment they jumped the walls.

Image

On the other side the heavies slowly walked into position.

Image

A cannon was aimed at the biggest target in range.

Image

Uh-oh. Weapon malfunction. Medieval cannons, love 'em or hate 'em. The gunpowder barrel exploded along, creating a size 4 explosion that easily overkilled the nearby two phalanx.

Image

The door was also knocked from it's hinges and onto the knight, who fell down, but was unharmed.

Image

Crossbowmen fired on the skeletons scaling the walls harmlessly.

Image

On the other side however, three were knocked off the walls, picked off by well-aimed shots.

Image

A bitchy witch also fell, shot down by Valarius.

Image

... who had moved to a safer position again.

Image

The giant felt a little pin prick as a crossbowmen shot into his armour from close range.

Image

A wraith was hit by the single crossbowman on the other side, but the creature survived.

Shame about the canon but I laughed my ass off when I saw just how close it came to killing the spotty prince. :lol: Also, the gate had to be closed too from the new threat... Sorry 'bout that. :(

Rrr! Watch where you point that thing! I thought it DID kill him... although, to be honest, when he does die I don't think I'll be shedding a tear.

I understand, I was expecting that anyways, my guys wouldnt have a chance at getting all inside the castle, including the ballistas, and I wasnt just going to leave them outside to get destroyed or worse, captured!

No, not yet. It was becoming a bit much to post all at once. I'll post the 'death toll' list so you all know it's over at the end of the round. I'll send you the PM you asked for when I finish the round.

* 'Deserters' *

Image

Garth charged the undead giant, and his charge was so fierce that it killed the giant in one fell stroke.

Image

Xalen charged as well, and his masamune ripped the remaining bitchy witches' head off and sent it flying.

Image

They then moved off, trying to spur their horses on to the river, but still the beasts wouldn't move faster.

* Phineus' horde *

Image

The skeletons combined their efforts on the unfortunate crossbowman that was caught outside. One got such a mean damage roll full of crits (there was a very high number of crits this round) that the crossbowman was smeared against the wall.

Image

The first skeleton to reach the wall and the bull heavy killed each other simultaneously, the others assaulted the crossbowman through the narrow passage but failed to kill.

Image

More were swarming up the wall, and the zombies were on their way, too.

Image

The skeletons on the other side, slightly less numerous, attacked as well and fell on the phalanx's reactions.

Image

One was killed, the other survived but critted his own attack and lost his weapon.

Image

The ghost had meanwhile crept up below the wall and fired on the bull crossbowman above.

Image

Who narrowly survived thanks to his shield.

Image

The crocodiles moved on. One reached the river.

Image

The skeletons fired at the wall, trying to shoot at Valarius through the small gap.

Image

With a penalty to hit one still managed to shoot Valarius, who fell back wounded. And I thought they had no aim...

Image

The dark giant smacked the portcullis once again with his mighty fist. It couldn't take much more now.

Image

Tsk tsk tsk. Such youthful insolence... Phineus thought, concentrating his magic on the knights who had cut into his flank.

Image

Xalen was filled with a sudden urge to kill, but he managed to control himself and direct this anger at a skeleton that happened to be in his vicinity.

* Falx Expeditionary Forces *

Image

The order was given to advance, and the remaining crossbowmen eagerly fled before Angrix' onslaught.

"COWARDS!"

His attacks clashed into their armour from behind, but once again it held on.

Image

The wraiths were swarmed by the Falx forces. Lord Vendetta lead the charge with his magic sword.

Image

The officer faced off against a wraith the others couldn't reach.

Image

One of Count Palomar's guards crit failed and knocked a crossbowman over instead, nearly killing him (alive but disrupted).

Image

The wraith stood no chance against Vendetta's and the trooper's combined attacks.

Image

The officer came out on top in his duel as well. Near him, a wraith that had been shot in the face by Palomar fell into the dust.

So far so good, still waiting for the hammer to fall but hasn't been a bad turn so far.

Great battle you're running Brag ma' man! 8)

* Wraiths *

Image

The wraiths armed with magic blades jumped from the bridge.

Image

They landed amidst the Dwellers, but what hope did they have at winning when so outnumbered?

Image

The Dwellers looked up surprised when the wraiths suddenly stabbed themselves.

Allah Ahkbar!

Image

Oh, I see... Some sorta self-destruction. 3 man-at-arms down and Lr was blasted back.

Image

The Dwellers on the cart braced themselves, but the other wraith failed to even make himself explode and died unceremoniously.

Image

The final wraith then launched himself at the fallen Lr as the fire already began to crack through his skin.

Image

Blam! The bridge was destroyed and Lr is thrown around once more and down to 1 HP. His crossbow was also blown away from him.

Image

And then there was one...

Image

The blade slit through the crossbowman's armour easily, killing him in a moment.

* Dweller garrison *

Image

The dwellers retreated from the more heavily armed Falx. The ballista in its haste thundered over the corpse of one of their own.

Image

As the bladed ballista started to turn one of the sideblades found a Falx trooper on it's way, who attempted to parry...

Image

But the pure force of the blow broke his blade and sent his head flying. The ballistas also took down two more: even the tough Falx armour couldn't withstand ballistas at this range.

Image

But Lord Vendetta wasn't called so for nothing... Infuriated by the death of his men, he handed his magic sword to a nearby trooper for a moment and janked a spear out of a soldier's still twitching body.

Image

"YOU IMPUDENT BARBARIANS!"

Image

His throw ripped a man-at-arms' head off.

Image

"NONE may challenge the Republic!"

* Royal residents *

Image

Bloodstorm!

Image

One skellie down.

Image

The paladin held up the gate for just long enough to dive under it...

Image

... then spun to accumulate momentum...

Image

And her Zweihander clased against the giant's armoured fist, who laughed scornfully at the second pitiful attempt to harm him.

Image

The brat was escorted outside.

Then on the edge of the Dweller's camp...

Secret faction activated * Hitokiri *

Image

Image

Officer: "Sir, it's one of those portals we're after."

Subute: "That's right. The King gave us clear orders to destroy them and anyone who spawned from them."

Officer: "But there seems to be a great deal of hostile forces in our way. What course of action shall we take?"

Image

Subute: "I shall meditate..."

Image

A Hitokiri checked the nearby chest. There's gold and valuables, but nothing of anything that's worth something in combat...

Image

The gun samurai climbed the tower together with an archer, and they opened fire on the crocodile below. Despite being hit in the head the beast didn't flinch.

Image

The warrior who had checked the chest then moved up to defend the ladder.

Image

The remaining Hitokiri advanced, lead by their officers, and the archers opened fire.

Image

They were skilled and both hit their target, but the last Falx swordsmen survived narrowly.

Secret faction activated * Kerrat Hunters *

Image

A company of Kerratian White Dragon Knights moved onto the field.

Haleron: "There they are! Kill them! And kill anyone else who gets in our way!"

Image

The company thundered off towards Garth and Xalen, and the lancers were the first to meet with them.

Image

However the one who had charged crit failed and was catapulted off his horse (not dead).

Image

The other missed his attack completely as well. It appeared the White Dragon Knights didn't feel entirely comfortable about fighting their ex-commanders. Either that, or they were just intimidated by Xalen.

Image

Who reacted by cutting the horses' throat.

Image

Most of the knights followed their leader Haleron to assault Garth. Crossbows were fired innefectively.

Image

Haleron: "Die traitor!"

His sword clashed against Garth's visor.

Image

Garth: "Big words from someone who cooperated in Junatan's coup so he could take my position from me!"

He stabbed back and hit Haleron in the neck, dealing him a hit.

Image

Crossbowman: "Sir Valarius! The Kerrattians have begun to fight amongst themselves!"

Valarius: "That must mean there's some kind of civil war going on there. But why would they bring it to our doorstep? Anyway, it would be better not to take action against them until general Angrix gives us orders. Even though this is a military incursion into our lands by the book, we have other things to worry about right now."

The Neutral Party

Image

The Neutral Party cheered for the combatants, but were compelled not to pick a side.
