In Which a Fortress is Besieged [Turn 05]

Image

The cannon and ballista fire on the gate (the ballista is out of ammunition).

Image

With a thunderous report, the gate sphincters to mere sawdust.

Image

Into the breach!

Image

Offense and defense trade kills.

Image

The second group fares the same, each side scores a kill.

Image

The crossbowmen shoot through the open gate.

Image

Two shots score kills on the back row of defenders.

Image

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.

Image

The other group tries to shake Tomoe from the siege tower.

Image

Her feet comedically slip around the roof, but she is able to keep her footing.

Image

She drops her sword, however, and it lands dramatically on the ground.

Image

Troops advance up the tower.

Image

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.

Image

Mathias, who was climbing the tree at that exact second, dispatches the archer with haste.

Image

The wizard helps his guards to the wall.

Image

Anselme has an idea!

Image

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!"

Image

lol

Image

Suddenly, three undead skeletons burst forth!

Image

For his part, Anselme is not intimidated by such an outrageous failure, and he quickly dispatches one of the skeletons.

Image

The battle continues.

Image

Jeanne and Wymer duel with malevolence and skill.

Image

Their blows ring with power against their shields and armor.

Image

Wymer is able to slip past Jeanne's shield and wound her! (1HP remains)

Image

Not deterred, Jeanne counters with a sure strike, dispatching Wymer.

Image

As Wymer's body hits the dirt, the nearby maceman kills another Fyrthing.

Image

"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.

Image

Tomoe takes aim...

Image

Her skillful arrow destroys the ladder's connection and it tumbles to the.... ground?

Image

These men are disrupted but unharmed. Their allies have no idea where they are.

Image

A samurai makes a move for revenge.

Image

He earns it.

Image

These samurai rush back the other direction, where they were supposed to be the whole time.

Image

They engage a halberdier, and the first samurai is cut down. The second kills the halberdier.

Image

A Fyrthing puts an end to the maceman's killstreak.

Image

Seeing the chaos all around, Jeanne knows what she must do.

Image

She says nothing, but vanishes behind an ancient series of cobwebs...
