With a thunder of hooves and a cloud
of dust Black Vasken’s and the Goonies move into positions. Black Vasken brings his officers together for
a conference. Serial Eve will take half
the army and make a determined effort to break into the camp. Black Vasken will take the other half and
swing around the right, using the hills for cover. Then he will charge the camp from the rear.

charge on the village. Squatting Troll

ford. Hobbit’s Hyenas charge in Killing
4 orcs as Gobble the hound is cut down in return.
Squatting Troll alerts two more units
to the danger befalling the camp; a unit of Wolves, and some orc archers. The archers let loose a volley on Vollrath’s
Vandal’s but the armor deflects the arrows which fall to the ground.
Metal Mane’s Militia comes into view
on the ridge behind Serial Eve. They had
been escorting the slow moving baggage train.
Metal Mane looks over the situation and moves his chaos warriors to
reinforce Serial Eve.

the camp sends Kellerman forward with a platoon of Heartbreakers. Serial Eve meanwhile has concentrated her
force to make a full attacks killing five orcs and routing the rest.
The Squatting Troll and Crazy Wolf
rally six more orc units. Squatting
Troll leads a large column towards Serial Eve.
A swarm of goblins, orcs, and trolls moves towards the ford to block
Kellerman and McDeath. Mcdeath’s
Maneaters take the brunt of the action as the wolves are killed.
Schmendrick has moved his dogs and
beastmen up to stave the orc horde.

Heartbreakers charges the trolls at the ford losing two knights. McDeath and Sunkeneye’s Sackers sweep in decimating
the wolves.
Crazy Wolf finishes applying his
magical warpaint. The horde gathered
around his hut let’s out a great WAAAGH!
As he comes out. He hops upon his
favorite wolf and leads the horde towards Kellerman at the ford.
Gav the troll out on Serial Eve's
flank goes down under a swarm of goblin spears.
Then Nigel goes down orcs spearing him to his knees, he looks dazily at
Squatting Troll who rushes up tomahawking him in the skull. A load cheer goes up from the orcs and the
sweep into Serial Eve.
The pressure is to much, and Vollrath
orders a retreat. Serial Eve curses him
for a coward, and lances a goblin through.
At the ford Kellerman and the reaming knights are cut down in the
river. Things are not looking good for
Black Vasken and the Goonies.
Vasken and the wolves and the
remaining Hearbreakers charge the ford.
While Brond Sunkeneye reforms his dwarf cavalry on a ridge. Vasken single handily kills a troll and
wounds another. One of the wolves is
gruesomely killed and mutilated by some goblins. It is to much for the rest as they rout out
of the way. The goblin spearmen swarm
over the wolf carcasses and bring down a knight. Orc arrows start to fly in bringing down
another rider.
Serial Eve and her wing have retreated
across the river. The orcs and goblins
seem content to let them stay there. The
whole camp seems to move towards Vasken’s division.
As another Knight is brought down and the wolves in rout, Vasken orders a retreat to a hill. Brond moves to cover the withdrawal sweeping off a group of goblins. The green horde charges and surrounds the dwarf cavalry. They are overrun; Brond and the Standard bearer fight clear and make it up to Vasken’s hill.
Meanwhile Serial Eve has taken up a
defensive position on the ridge as night begins to fall. All night her division can here the drums and
whoops coming from camp. Anxiously she waits
for Vasken to ride up and take command.
The find him and the rest of his
command dead and mutilated on a hill, the crows already descending on the
bodies to feed. Serial Eve rushes to
Vasken’s body and rest his head in her lap, but it just rolls off. She orders the baggage wagons up, and they
collect the bodies that are not to far gone.
They will take them to a necromancer to be reanimated; Black Vasken will
be the first!
