The Second Siege of the Dunlan Fortress - Turn 4

Post by Joshua » Wed May 10, 2023 6:10 pm

Tons of slaughter this round!

Peasants - TheTrollgineer

Image
Thalia quickly cleaves in half the Uruk-hai standing on top of the ladder.

Image
Then she runs over and bashes the Uruk-hai Champion in the back of the head. -1HP

Image
He flips over the side of the wall...

Image
...and crashes down amongst the corpses below.

Image
The female Viking comes over and deftly relieves an Orc of his head.

Image
The Viking and the farmer rush down to the open gatehouse, and the Viking guts a skeleton.

Image
Lastly, the goatherder takes a defensive position against the incoming Uruk-hai horde.

Uruk-hai and Orcs - Mr. President

Image
The Champion climbs back over the Fortress wall.

Image
And rushes at Thalia, slicing away at her armor. -1HP

Image
But Thalia quickly counters, and despite the attack being parried, deals enough damage to shave off another HP. -1HP

Image
The pole-armed Orc frees his weapon from the wall and guts a knight before he can respond.

Image
The Orc on the ladder climbs up and slices into the female Viking's midsection.

Image
Another Orc comes up and slaughters the goatherder after he failed to kill the Orc.

Image
Lastly, the heavily armored Uruk-hai advance, followed by the crossbowmen, seeing as they have no targets in sight.

Undead - Bragallot

Image
Naeve fires a magikal blast up at the gatehouse.

Image
A small section of the battlements are blown up, crushing a crossbowman and disrupting the archer.

Image
Not wanting to crush the skeletons still occupied in the gatehouse, the Abomination lumbers over towards the front of the fortress.

Image
It then picks up the ladder...

Image
...and swipes it across the walls! Unfortunately both Sir Darius and the knight make their bail rolls, so they simply duck down and avoid the ladder.

Image
Disgusted, the Abomination discards the ladder and observes the skirmish inside the gatehouse.

Image
Meanwhile, the duel between these heavily armored combatants continues unresolved.

Image
An axe skellie murders the farmer down at the gatehouse.

Image
Three skeletons gang up on the lone Viking, but miraculously, he survives their assaults.

Image
Still no victor to this duel either.

Image
One skeleton burns to death before it can accomplish anything.

Image
But the other two dog-pile on top of the halberdier, knocking him to the ground. His armor protects him from their attacks, however.

Image
The crossbow-skellies miss their target while their bodyguard braves the flames down below.

Black Knights - TheTrollgineer

Image
Not wanting to waste a golden opportunity, Sir Darius leaps off the battlements and onto the ladder...

Image
...before leaping onto the Abomination's head and stabbing and slashing at it. -1 HP

Image
The Abomination desperately tries to grab Sir Darius as he continues to imbed his sword deep in it's skull. -1 HP

Image
Finally, it manages to grab Sir Darius' legs.

Sir Darius: "!!!"

Image
It flings him off to the ground, where he lands with a thump next to some foliage.

Image
Nearby, the Garrison Commander finally gains the upper hand with some good rolls.

Image
The skeleton topples off the edge, dead.

Image
The Garrison Commander turns around and notices the skirmish taking place at the gatehouse.

Garrison Commander: "Lower the portcullis!"

Image
The dazed archer stumbles down and releases the portcullis.

Image
It falls with a mighty crash, killing a skeleton and decapitating a corpse.

Image
The bearded swordsman runs over and slays an Orc.

Image
The yellow-plumed halberdier picks himself up and takes in his surroundings.

Image
He quickly discerns the biggest threats and promptly rams his halberd straight into the stomach of one.

Image
The last knight clambers down the battlements and kills one of the flaming skeletons, careful not to catch himself on fire.

Image
Over by the siege tower, the Black Knight spearman finally manages to decapitate his foe.

Image
And finally, the red-plumed halberdier gets up and silences the skeleton that knocked him over.

Endgame:

Image
The fire in the siege tower grows, threatening to totally consume the middle level.
