In Which a Fortress is Besieged [Turn 05]
The cannon and ballista fire on the gate (the ballista is out of ammunition).
With a thunderous report, the gate sphincters to mere sawdust.
Into the breach!
Offense and defense trade kills.
The second group fares the same, each side scores a kill.
The crossbowmen shoot through the open gate.
Two shots score kills on the back row of defenders.
The rest of the infantry make their way to the gate, just a few feet from the fighting. They beat the stone walls with their swords.
The other group tries to shake Tomoe from the siege tower.
Her feet comedically slip around the roof, but she is able to keep her footing.
She drops her sword, however, and it lands dramatically on the ground.
Troops advance up the tower.
The halberdiers engage the archers, quickly killing one. The other archer nimbly slips by the halberd. Thinking quickly, he breaks the shaft in half with a powerful chop and then he shoves the blade into the attacker, scoring a kill.
Mathias, who was climbing the tree at that exact second, dispatches the archer with haste.
The wizard helps his guards to the wall.
Anselme has an idea!
He reaches the scorched remains of his comrades, without giving a second thought to how he could reach them so easily, and performs ker-Triage!"
lol
Suddenly, three undead skeletons burst forth!
For his part, Anselme is not intimidated by such an outrageous failure, and he quickly dispatches one of the skeletons.
The battle continues.
Jeanne and Wymer duel with malevolence and skill.
Their blows ring with power against their shields and armor.
Wymer is able to slip past Jeanne's shield and wound her! (1HP remains)
Not deterred, Jeanne counters with a sure strike, dispatching Wymer.
As Wymer's body hits the dirt, the nearby maceman kills another Fyrthing.
"My lady!" cries the bannermen, "I see a group of soldiers heading this way!" He does not mention that he cannot tell who the troops are or who they may serve.
Tomoe takes aim...
Her skillful arrow destroys the ladder's connection and it tumbles to the.... ground?
These men are disrupted but unharmed. Their allies have no idea where they are.
A samurai makes a move for revenge.
He earns it.
These samurai rush back the other direction, where they were supposed to be the whole time.
They engage a halberdier, and the first samurai is cut down. The second kills the halberdier.
A Fyrthing puts an end to the maceman's killstreak.
Seeing the chaos all around, Jeanne knows what she must do.
She says nothing, but vanishes behind an ancient series of cobwebs...
Overwatch.
