The Second Siege of the Dunlan Fortress - Turn 3

Post by Joshua » Wed May 03, 2023 9:56 am

Apologies for the extremely long hiatus, but I'm back now and determined to at least finish this battle!

Black Knights - TheTrollgineer

Image
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.

Image
The archer and crossbowman let loose their arrows...

Image
And slay two more skellies!

Image
The archer in the northern tower turns around and takes aim at a different target.

Image
Miraculously, he manages to nail a heavily armored skeleton against the battlements, killing it.

Image
The Garrison Commander and this heavy skeleton remain in close combat, as neither one scores a fatal blow.

Image
A swordsman and spearman gang up on the Uruk-hai Champion, but fail to wound him.

Image
The Champion's counterattack is parried by the swordsman.

Image
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)

Image
The bearded swordsman legs it across the courtyard.

Image
And he repositions near the Garrison Commander, ready to help at a moment's notice.

Undead - Bragallot

Image

Naeve: "Escort! Hold still."

Naeve rides out a few paces, turns around, and raises her staff.

Image
A light-greenish glow appears around the Elite Skeleton...

Image

Giant Elite Skeleton: "Huuuaargh!"

Image
Sir Darius and the others on the ramparts can only watch in mortified silence as Naeve creates her abomination.

Sir Darius: "Ohhh shit..."

Image
The Abomination saunters over and firmly grasps the fortress's drawbridge.

Image
With a mighty heavy, it tears the heavy ropes keeping the drawbridge suspended, sending it crashing to the ground.

Image
The remaining skeletons that were crowding around the ladder start streaming through the open gatehouse.

Image
The crossbow skellies in the siege tower finally dispatch the pesky archer on the near tower.

Image
This skeleton and the Black Knight spearman trade attacks, but neither is able to kill their opponent.

Image
One skeleton braves the flaming siege tower and runs through, getting caught on fire but not succumbing to the flames.

Image
He then leaps off the battlements and crashes into the halberdier below, setting him on fire but not accomplishing much else.

Image
More skeletons dash through the flames, and fortunately, none are killed outright, though all are set ablaze.

Image
The Troll winds back his arm to throw a big chunk o' shit into the castle.

Image
Here it comes!

Image
'splat' 'squelch' Unfortunately the brown projectile lands harmlessly on an unused section of wall.

Image
This armored skeleton disengages from close combat, and repositions on the battlements.

Image
Another skeleton climbs up the ladder and both skeletons gang up on the Garrison Commander, although his armor prevails.

Image
The halberd-wielding skeleton tries to kill the Viking, but the Viking is too quick and parries the incoming attack.

Image
These two move over towards the now open gatehouse.

Peasants - TheTrollgineer

Image
Inexplicably, Thalia attacks this Uruk-hai twice and fails to connect her weapon both times.

Image
The goatherder runs over and impales the burning skeleton assaulting the halberdier, killing him.

Image
The farmer prepares to defend against the incoming onslaught while the woodcutter fires his crossbow into their midst.

Image
Scratch another skeleton!

Image
The female Viking also comes over, ready to defend against the skeletons.

Image
The Viking on the ramparts deftly skewers a pesky skeleton, and bashes it to pieces.

Uruk-hai and Orcs - Mr. President

Image
The Champion disengages and winds up a powerful swing...

Image
And he cleanly decapitates the two Black Knights attacking him.

Image
An Uruk-hai clambers up the ladder and attacks Thalia, but her armor holds firm.

Image
Her counterattack proves to be far more deadly.

Image
An Orc climbs up the ladder, and surveys his options for a split-second.

Image
Before he leaps down and tackles the halberdier to the ground, disrupting him.

Image
Two more attackers climb up the ladder, but hold their attacks for now.

Image
Down on the ground, an Uruk-hai jams his halberd into the small sally port door.

Image
After heaving with all his might, he manages to pry it open!

Image
Two Orcs rush up, but the first misses his attack on the knight inside.

Image
The remaining Uruk-hai join the line.

Image
Both ranged attackers fire their crossbows, but both fail to strike their intended target.

Image
Lastly, the ballista fires it's projectiles, but both harmlessly clatter across the courtyard and fall down near the gatehouse.
