Imperial heartlands, on the Kingdom's western border...
With reports of Bulls threatening the border in greater numbers, the Empire is mobilizing.
As the Kingdom of Westeron's most powerful (and most threatened) vassal state, they can raise a considerable army.
Reports of mysterious attacks have prompted imperial officers to guard their armouries more closely, as the loss of valuable weapons and armour will cripple their army against the coming Bull invasion.
Suddenly...
*splat*
"We're under attack!"
"To arms!"
A monstrous undead giant charges into combat.
The beast is eventually overcome.
The wraith leading the attack approaches the armoury with some rather explosive minions in tow.
The defending lieutenant, Branton, and his men load up a cannon.
"Fire!"
The shot gets dangerously close to blowing up the explosive chest the skeletons are carrying.
The wraith smashes his magical sword into the ground.
His dark magic has devastating results.
An imperial tries what he can to plug the hole in the wall.
The wraith then launches himself into combat, chopping at the guards.
The remaining guards rush out to defend.
They foolishly charge the explosive chest, which blows up in their faces.
The others are assailed by a group of Shades, dangerous elite undead.
Shades make for nimble and skilled opponents, as these guards find out.
They are overcome.
However, the imperials are not alone in this! A Dweller Ranger arrives and occupies the Shades.
Zing!
An Armour Ghost appears, but luckily, it's friendly.
With the odds turning against the undead, the wraith sacrifices himself, but for what purpose?
To cause an explosion, of course!
The brave ranger is eventually overcome.
However, a Dweller Healer arrives to support the fight.
"Rush out! We need to keep that man alive!"
Together, they are able to overcome the shades.
The dust settles. Despite substantial casualties and damage to the armoury, the equipment has mostly been preserved.
Lieutenant Branton invites the Dweller Healer in for questioning...
Branton: "Who are you?"
Dweller Healer: "I'm a messenger. The appearance of these undead at the eve of the Bull invasion is no coincidence! A full scale invasion of the borderlands is underway as we speak, and your people and my own are the only ones who stand in its way! Queen Lara is hunted by Bulls beyond the border and requires rescuing."
Branton: "How do you know all this, and why do you wish to help?"
Dweller: "There will be time to explain, if we survive. For now you must help me convince Sir Knight-Marshal Cales to lead an expedition into the Wildwoods."
Branton: "Sir Cales...? Very well. I will arrange an audience with the Knight-Marshal for you, but I can give you no guarantees as to what he'll decide."

Loving the explosive chaos, no minifig stays whole.
