[HH] The Battle of the West Emnet Plains - Turn 2

Post by Joshua » Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:53 pm

Things start to heat up this round!

Muradin Doomforge - NPC

Image
Muradin sneaks out from behind the palm tree...

Image
And hops up into the ruins, narrowly avoiding Easterling response fire.

Sir Marcus Duhanden and his Troops - Scribonius

Image
Marcus' troops reposition themselves again. Fritz hops back up onto the ridge next to the other boulder.

Image
Stan, Klaus, and Geoff jump from the ridge to the arch of the Black Knight outpost. (I treated this like a sprint roll, and they all made it.)

Image

Marcus: "You down there! Do you have anything that could launch boulders great distances?"

Von Brag: "Do I have vhat?"

Image
While Marcus is talking with the stranger, Andrew and Grigory walk over to the little stone thing and start to turn it.

Image
To their surprise, it continues to turn a full 45', before stopping with a 'thunk', which sends a faint rumbling through the ground... :mystery:

Bull 'Knights' - SirZaphod

Image
The Bull 'Knights' move forward as best they can.

Lillian Windstrider - Mr. President

Image
Lillian tries to fire a shot that would ricochet off the ground and into the Oliphant driver's gut, but it simply sticks in the ground.

Sir John Lannister - NPC

Image
Sir John holds his ground, electing to save his turn for a later part of the game.

Easterlings - Gorvoslov

Image
All but one of the normal infantry move up, squeezing past the Oliphant and the ruins.

Image
The other infantry goes to the other side and picks up the frog.

Image
He then throws it to the driver of the Oliphant.

Image
The driver catches it, and the frog starts speaking to him.

Frog: 'softly' "ᚤᛟᚢ ᚲᛟᛗᛖ ᚺᛖᚱᛖ ᛟᚾᛚᚤ ᛏᛟ ᚲᚨᚢᛋᛖ ᛒᛚᛟᛟᛞᛋᚺᛖᛞ ᚨᚾᛞ ᛞᛖᛋᛏᚱᚢᚲᛏᛁᛟᚾ. ᚹᚺᛖᚾ ᚹᛁᛚᛚ ᛗᛖᚾ ᛖᚡᛖᚱ ᛚᛖᚨᚱᚾ?"

Image
The driver, startled by the frog's speech, suddenly spots a She-Elf off in the distance.

Archer: "Hey! Keep moving!"

But the driver is transfixed by the She-Elf, losing his action for the turn.

Image

Briktorth: "I must taste it!"

Image

Briktorth: "Get back here!"

Image
'gunshot noise'

Image
Briktorth is hit with something he couldn't see, and loses an HP.

Image
The mysterious blue thing moves away, and can be heard mumbling something.

MBT: "My position's been compromised! Request Immediate evac!"

Wilhelm von Bragallot - Bragallot

Image
Von Brag drives his cart forward some more.

Image
He then grabs a bunch of things from the back of the cart.

Image
He hops down onto the ground.

Image
And sets up something behind the Black Knight cavalry.

Undead - SirZaphod

Image
The Undead advance en masse, first the left flank...

Image
And then the right.

Image
The Grim Reaper's troops move up a little more cautiously, staying behind the main army. The Undead's forward progress triggers 2 things.

Image
First, it triggers a command from the White King.

White King: "Charge!"

The heavy cavalry files out and lowers their lances as they gallop full speed at their foes.

Image
Additional picture.

Image
The cavalry slam into the Undead, killing four skeletons.

Image
Crossbows fire in response...

Image
And manage to kill a Elite Knight!

Image
And secondly, von Brag lights the end of his rocket!

Image
'fooosh!'

Image
Blam-O! A direct hit! The Troll survives the damage, but is temporarily blinded.

Image
He starts swinging his mace wildly in a fit of rage...

Image
And kills a skeleton while sending another one flying...

Image
It crashes into another skeleton, disrupting them both. Also, the necromancers attempt to raise the fallen undead and the crushed Uruk-hai, but both fail.

Uruk-hai and Orcs - Infinity

Image
The Uruk-hai officer grabs the fallen Orc's weapon.

Image
And leads the charge as all the Uruk-hai and Orcs run forward.

Image
All three archers fire, but Fritz successfully parries the first arrow, the second is parried by Andrew, and the third crit-fails.

Image
This Orc attacks the White King's horse, but doesn't even manage to scratch the barding.

Note: Somehow I forgot to take picture of the Black Knight's turn, but the rest of the army marches forward, with 4 swordsmen and a knight splitting off to reinforce the heavy cavalry. Archer tries firing at a Easterling, but misses.

Secret Faction Unlocked! Sir Darius Wolfshelm - NPC

Image
Sir Darius Wolfshelm is the Head Librarian at the Parsinian Archives. He is a great swordsman and fought alongside the Black Monarch in his campaign against the Undead. He recently found the remains of an Undead attack on the basement of the library and correctly guessed they were after the Ring of Kings, a powerful artefakt worn by the great kings of old. He set out to inform the White King of this turn of events, and just happened to stumble upon this battle.

Image
He rides his horse forward, ending up behind the halberdiers.
