The Siege of the Dunlan Fortress - Turn 2

Post by Joshua » Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:01 pm

Things get rather interesting this turn...

Bull Knights - my brother

Image
The catapult fires...

Image
And overshoots by a mile!

Image
The two Bull Knights below position the ladder against the wall of the Fortress.

Image
Which triggers a response from this spearman. 'boot'

Image
'creak'

Image
Crash! The skeleton climbing is crushed, but the armored skelly is merely disrupted.

Image
Cedric then walks over to the fallen ladder.

Image
And uses his heroic feat to raise it up again.

Image
Now stay!

Black Knights - Degener@te

Image
This guy falls over backwards while trying to attack.

Image
The other crossbowman is much more successful...

Image
And wastes a skeleton with tons of overkill damage. The other archers miss their shots.

Image
The spearman who kicked the ladder runs over to fill the vacant spot to his left.

Image
A knight then climbs up the ladder to fill the spearman's place on the wall.

Image
Finally, another swordsman walks over to the ladder.

All other Black Knights have a response action.

Lillian Windstrider - Bragallot

Image
Lillian hops into cover and mutters to herself. "Time to thin out their numbers."
Due to rolling repeated critical successes over and over, she rapidly fires four shots into the air, before they come slamming into the skulls of the closest enemies, perfectly in sync.

Image
Four foes drop at once. This Uruk-hai,

Image
This Bull Knight,

Image
And these two skellies.

Recommended music for the Uruk-Hai turn.

Uruk-Hai - Scribonius

Image
This ladder is put into position.

Image
And the Uruk-hai start climbing immediately.

Image
But the defenders are ready, and this soldier pokes the Uruk-hai in the eye.

Image
Both Uruk-hai and orcs bleed black.

Image
"First one on top receives bonus pay!" The hero shouts, but nobody heard him over the din of battle.

Image
So he fires at one of the defenders, and misses.

Image
More orcs and Uruk-hai start climbing the ladder.

Image
And one makes it to the top!

Image
But the Garrison Commander has something to say about that.

Image
Hmm, quite effective argument, then.

Image
Everyone else swarms the ladder and the archer fires. And misses.

Undead - Falk

Image
The troll pushes the siege tower ever closer to the Fortress.

Image
And it's close enough! "Lower the bridge!"

Image
Skeletons start pouring out of the tower.

Image
But the Black Knights are well-prepared, as the two defenders gang up on the armored skeleton.

Image
And kill him.

Image
The next one attacks, but is blocked by the spearman's shield.

Image
Both crossbow-armed skellies miss.

Image
And the troll makes his way towards the Uruk-hai.

Image
More skeletons start climbing up the siege tower.

Image
The Skeletan Angel flies forward and is just out of attack range. Blast!

Image
This skeleton misses as well. Man, the attackers haven't had a good turn for ranged attacks.

Image
The Possessed Knight leads the charge as more skeletons start climbing the newly raised ladder.

Image
The necromancer walks over to the smashed skeleton...

Image
And another undead rejoins the battle.

Image
The Demon-hero uses his feat to open the drawbridge from the outside. He smashes his spike into one of the hinges.

Image
And it works! The hinge is severely damaged.

Image
And just like that, the drawbridge is open!

Image
On the Eastern flank, skeletons start climbing the ladder straight into the jaws of the defenders.

Image
'stab'

Image
Image
Two down! "Alright, who's next?"

Image
The other necromancer goes over to the skeleton,

Image
And bam!

Image
Finally, this siege machine fires...

Image
And the shot barely glances off of a torch, knocking it down but preventing the projectile from flying into the courtyard.

Image
There's the torch.
