Black Knights - TheTrollgineer
Sir Darius contemplates sliding down the ladder and knocking off the skeletons climbing up it, but after noticing the group gathered underneath, he decides against it.
The archer and crossbowman let loose their arrows...
And slay two more skellies!
The archer in the northern tower turns around and takes aim at a different target.
Miraculously, he manages to nail a heavily armored skeleton against the battlements, killing it.
The Garrison Commander and this heavy skeleton remain in close combat, as neither one scores a fatal blow.
A swordsman and spearman gang up on the Uruk-hai Champion, but fail to wound him.
The Champion's counterattack is parried by the swordsman.
Meanwhile, the halberdier and torch-throwing spearman gang up on the Elite Skeleton on the ramparts. (It seems I didn't take a picture, but they overcome his armor and slay him)
The bearded swordsman legs it across the courtyard.
And he repositions near the Garrison Commander, ready to help at a moment's notice.
Undead - Bragallot
Naeve: "Escort! Hold still."
Naeve rides out a few paces, turns around, and raises her staff.
A light-greenish glow appears around the Elite Skeleton...
Giant Elite Skeleton: "Huuuaargh!"
Sir Darius and the others on the ramparts can only watch in mortified silence as Naeve creates her abomination.
Sir Darius: "Ohhh shit..."
The Abomination saunters over and firmly grasps the fortress's drawbridge.
With a mighty heavy, it tears the heavy ropes keeping the drawbridge suspended, sending it crashing to the ground.
The remaining skeletons that were crowding around the ladder start streaming through the open gatehouse.
The crossbow skellies in the siege tower finally dispatch the pesky archer on the near tower.
This skeleton and the Black Knight spearman trade attacks, but neither is able to kill their opponent.
One skeleton braves the flaming siege tower and runs through, getting caught on fire but not succumbing to the flames.
He then leaps off the battlements and crashes into the halberdier below, setting him on fire but not accomplishing much else.
More skeletons dash through the flames, and fortunately, none are killed outright, though all are set ablaze.
The Troll winds back his arm to throw a big chunk o' shit into the castle.
Here it comes!
'splat' 'squelch' Unfortunately the brown projectile lands harmlessly on an unused section of wall.
This armored skeleton disengages from close combat, and repositions on the battlements.
Another skeleton climbs up the ladder and both skeletons gang up on the Garrison Commander, although his armor prevails.
The halberd-wielding skeleton tries to kill the Viking, but the Viking is too quick and parries the incoming attack.
These two move over towards the now open gatehouse.
Peasants - TheTrollgineer
Inexplicably, Thalia attacks this Uruk-hai twice and fails to connect her weapon both times.
The goatherder runs over and impales the burning skeleton assaulting the halberdier, killing him.
The farmer prepares to defend against the incoming onslaught while the woodcutter fires his crossbow into their midst.
Scratch another skeleton!
The female Viking also comes over, ready to defend against the skeletons.
The Viking on the ramparts deftly skewers a pesky skeleton, and bashes it to pieces.
Uruk-hai and Orcs - Mr. President
The Champion disengages and winds up a powerful swing...
And he cleanly decapitates the two Black Knights attacking him.
An Uruk-hai clambers up the ladder and attacks Thalia, but her armor holds firm.
Her counterattack proves to be far more deadly.
An Orc climbs up the ladder, and surveys his options for a split-second.
Before he leaps down and tackles the halberdier to the ground, disrupting him.
Two more attackers climb up the ladder, but hold their attacks for now.
Down on the ground, an Uruk-hai jams his halberd into the small sally port door.
After heaving with all his might, he manages to pry it open!
Two Orcs rush up, but the first misses his attack on the knight inside.
The remaining Uruk-hai join the line.
Both ranged attackers fire their crossbows, but both fail to strike their intended target.
Lastly, the ballista fires it's projectiles, but both harmlessly clatter across the courtyard and fall down near the gatehouse.
