You are the Commanders of an evil Overlord, sent into the world to conquer for him. You'll be each commanding regiments of his army.Last time, you found an old tome, and after ransacking the town of Iverding, you freed a suspicious looking robed figure that promised you to lead you to where the maps within it lead, an ancient cathedral which promises dark secrets. You have followed it all the way to the human county of Grimershall and the mysterious Grimershall crater.This is a skirmish style game. You can make a character with the chargen stuff I'll post after this, and you can expect two to four turns to happen a day. RULES:https://pastebin.com/2CXprwHUDon't wanna read it all? Just read movement actions and morale and describe your actions narratively. Should be enough.Previous threads:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/1228801/http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/1244300/
>>1307704chargen+lvl upAdditionally to this, I'd like you to choose a+a vice - an attitude of yours that gives you XP when it gets you into TROUBLE+an ambition - something big you want to achieve in the future, that gives you XP every time you make a big step towards it+goals - just goals that give you XP when you complete them. These can be decided on during the session.
>>1307706and army list. You get army points when you first started in the amount of 14+ your strat score.spell list I will post when people come that need it for lvl up.

>>1307736rejoice, your elements start at full strength, AND you can keep all mag you acrued and didn't spend last time.Additionally, what I failed to mention is that:>You can sell an element for a third of its point price on army buy. I'll be starting once two players are here by the way
>>1307740Well thats great then. But mind if I ask whats the difference between the raise dead spell instead of just life force instead?
>>1307742the raise dead spell raises the dead and that's it. It's dangerous in the sense that sometimes the dead might not particularely like you, but it relyably and according to the magic spent raises dead to be undead.The steal life is more versitile - once you've stolen it you can use it *however* you want, you can try and heal others, fucking make a rock alive if you want to, you don't have to try and give it to dead people. And if you choose to do that, it might very well depend on the kind of corpses what happens when you do so.
>>1307746Sounds alright, I suppose I'll take that for 3xp since it'll be a bit more efficent. Then use my last exp to increase my strategy to 4.I'm also buying an element of archer skeletons and a element of melee skeles to add to the bone train. Leaving my army points at 3.
>>1307751you'd need to spend 4 XP to get your strategy to 4. it's 2 XP for 2, 3 XP for 3 etc.

The pale faced man leads you further and further east until you reach the far side of the human territories - Grimershall, the drab, swampy hills that lead up to the Longfare mountains.The closer you come to Grimershall crater, the more animated the man becomes and the more he calls for haste.As you come close to Grimershall itself, you come across a skeleton of a huge creature, the size of a hundred men - it seems to have been burnt to a crisp by some magical force not too long ago, smoke still coming off its bones."The work of wizards from Grimershall college no doubt." the acolyte says dismissively."They never did have much regard for the delightful beasts that line the crater."[Wiz 1] - Fernium The Death Wizard[Ch2] l Azith the MaulerMAN those armies got big fast.

as more and more of the dark army arrives - a torrent of cannon fodder sweeping the land like locusts, the Death Wizard cautioulsy moves forward, revealing the walls of Grimershall, and the archers atop it.

>>1307832Interesting... for now the main skeleton force holds its position while the cavalry move a bit closer to get a better view of their forces then they will retreat back.>>1307835I believe I could do something that'll help nullify their defense, however it would require you ordering your shaman to give me his current magic reserve.

cautiously, the army, which is already a gigantic host, fans out and surveys the countryside. murky, sick grass covers the hills this side and the other of Anston. the walls of Grimershall come into view proper now, and an archer shouts out into the city.Your guide seems to be growing restless:"Let us leave the city, there will be enough time to take it yet! You wanted to find the dark church, I can show you! let us follow the road, there is another bridge further east! Greater things await!"From the west, another two elements join the battle.

Secondly, its structure seems less organized than normal bone - it doesn't seem grown as much as festered upon itself. And lastly, working it makes Drussith's head drowsy.But work he does, as his dread knights dismount, break off bits of bone and bring it to him. (next turn you'll have your spoils, but making lances for a whole element takes a while.)Meanwhile Meatonstick's goblins attempt a ford. there is the possibility to get safely (albeit slowwly) across over a one hex broad ford.

>>1310007goblins like all kinds of flesh.pink flesh's best though
>>1310007To be fair if OP has implimented his increased rates of death he was talking about last time we might have considerably less gobbos once the fighting starts.
>>1310043gobbos should get a malus right now they are more cost effective than orks, gobbo op pls nerf
>>1310046Are they though? My observations in Iverding suggested smaller numbers of elite units performed better than hordes of weak ones.
>>1309800OP, would it be too late to join? I'd like to try an acolyte but I need to know if you're recruiting first...
>>1310046I don't know how you got to that conclusion, but I can assure you, that's not the case.>>1310053This depends on ratios (also situations but that's a given)>>1310061Sure, one more cant hurtI'll be processing in two hours or so, once I'm home
>>1310072Got it. Just a question though, how will I choose my god, at the beginning or during the campaign?Also, is it limited to gods or does it also include demons and things like that?In the meantime, I'll go back over the previous threads to see how it happened.
>>1310083you can dedicate yourself to any god known to the army.There is currently no god known to the army.But something tells me you will meet one sooner rather than later.Tl;Dr at the bottom:As an acolyte, you'll have a different magic system - instead of magic, you've got prayers, which will be tied to the realm of your god.And instead of having magic points to fill up, the number of praying acolytes (which you can convert or buy in future updates, once you know gods) are the requirement for level of prayer, with your divine favour deciding how much your God is into you, and can be increased and decreased through actions, affronts and asking for miracles.Don't worry if that's overwhelming though, the gist of it is: Once you find a god to dedicate yourself to, you can ask him to do stuff that he would do and get more favour through pleasing him.
>>1310098Does that mean I begin with 0/0 favour?Also, I plan to make a human (which if I understand correctly can add two skill points to any category at the beginning) so could I upgrade my favour or should I use the points on skill for example?BTW I intend my character to be genuinely insane so my actions may not be optimized.
>>1310072>>1310053It was mostly a joke after seeing their numbers
>>1310107you start with your magic worth of favour, only that it's basically empty favour until you have a god to dedicate yourself to. and favour isn't a -/- stat, it's just a stat determining how far you can push it that will decrease and increase as a total number under certain circumstances.you could upgrade your favour by upgrading your magic, yes. As a human, you can also choose one non combat skill to just be great at, that's what the two little yellow points represent.>my actions may not be optimized.you'll fit right in
>>1310107[Spoiler]pick the ??? Race, lets see what happens[/spoiler]
>>1310114you won't like what happens.
>>1310114>>1310117But don't want to die ;_;>>1310113What's the difference between the yellow points and the +2 on top?
>>1310119Nah you wont die, maybe
>>1310124If I die, I hope it won't be because I was smacked in the nose with a rock by a child...Though given how I intend on playing, I'll probably kill myself because of lack of oversight.
>>1310119told you, those yellow ones mean you can pick one non-combat skill to have a +2 in. Siege engineering for example, or climbing, or fortifying, or intimidation or...the 2x red dot is just the possibility of putting two points wherevery ou want.>>1310124>>1310119you'll die.
>>1310126Okay, now I get it, I hadn't noticed the difference between non-combat skills and actual skills.Would smithing work? Since I'm gonna make a character focused on fire, it would make sense that I wield it occasionally.
>>1310128sure, smithing works, Drussith has it too though, so it might be a bit redundant.
>>1310126While on the topic of humans, the red 2x have to be in the same skill or they can be divided between two stats? Same with the non-combat bonus, is it posible to have 2 non-combat skill on +1?
>>1310136The red ones can be divided the yellow ones cant. But I think getting non combat skills for xp might be something i should look into.
>>1310141Unless it counts as magic, I'm gonna add my +2 non-combat skill bonus to "diviniation".Namely, interpreting the messages I get when I gaze into a fire to gain insights about the battlefield and omens about what's going to happen (which to be honest is less a product of magic and more of my character being insane).If I can't, I'll take intimidation I guess.
>>1310141Ok and the red point on the orcs Strat what exactly does it translated into?

Drussith's knights find in there some slaughtered cattle they couldn't take with them (+1 AP) Drussith himself desperately tries to keep some of his future subjects alive, but the ground is littered with the dead and the fatally wounded - some of which Fernium harvests for his rituals (+2 Mag for Fernium)The latter's skeletons try and pursue the routed farmers, but don't catch up in time - they are held up by the cavalrymen who protect the bridge for the battered farmers to come through.

Drazza's goblins descend upon the cavalry like a tidal wave (although only about half can find surface area for their attack) as the skeletons continue their assault.The horsemen themselves attempt to disengage, but manage not during the bloodshed. Even so, as one element is about to break, it is kept in line by the captain. (-0 str for you guys)As he expells his rallying cry, he comes into view of Fernium, who would have a free path towards the man to challenge him in combat.Both Viktor and Mazakform an epic host around your guide, and as Mazak calls to go onward, the former complains:"Were do you suggest we go? This bridge is filled with fighting bodies, and a hostile city is beyond the other! And we will not brave the swamp. It is off limits, cursed, a prison."and towards Viktor:"From there your voices no doubt come. A great g.. beast lies there in chains. For the better. Now clear the bridge and let us MOVE!"Viktor, you feel anguish.Meanwhile Meatonstick offers his assistance to the bony riders, who seem to not acknowledge him, until he uses the name of his god - "he who dwells bellow". The apperent leader of the element, a larger orc skeleton with flaming mouth and eyes, slowly turns his head to him and raises his arm, pointing south - not to the city, but slightly beside it, where the cultist now stands.Meanwhile, armed men and orcs enter the battlefield.WE'RE OFFICIALLY FULL.[Wiz 1] l Fernium The Death Wizard[Bar2] l Azith the Mauler[Cha3] l Mazak the Accursed[Bar4] l Councillor Meatonstick[Cha5] l Dread Knight Drussith[Cha6] l Drazza][Ac7] l Viktor the Flamboyant Scourge[Bar8] l BjorstYou guys can interact with NPCs outside of processing turns too, you don't have to use your turns on it necessarily

You could also argue that water is life/good aligned and undeads can't cross it.Also cavalry should get a bonus to river crossing
>>1314690That's only for vampires. Zombies could have it easier.
Mazak's troops make their way across the river, slowly, but without losses.In an almost miraculous bittersweet victory, one of the cavalry elements actually manages to disengage with little more than bruises, as the other takes the brunt of the damage from a disorganized combined goblin and skeleton assault, (-1 str damage to both of you) getting wiped out completely. All is well, the survivors think, and attempt to regroup at the knights, but as they look for their captain, all they see is a withered husk on his horse. the element falls in disarray and routes after already having disengaged (+1 minor life for Fernium)Meanwhile Viktor begins burning crops gleefully.The noxious fumes from the swamp fill Azith's nostrils - feels like home to the orc. Another gigantic corpse marks the beginning of the bog.A different kind of large skeleton waits for Drussith, as he comes up to the black tower. He hails, and is greeted by a cloaked figure on its roof."Dread knights, eh?" it shouts down with amusement. "And still of the living flesh it seems. Sacrifices for him bellow, I assume?"A cackling laugh."Now come no closer or I will have to activate my contingency. My libraries are mine alone and the secrets therein not for your eyes."At the same time, Meatonstick tries to reason with the dead, falling on deaf ears for the most part.But as he says "..proclaimed himself follower of the disturbed ones.

The shaman will move up close behind the melee in case it turns out we need his magic. If all three come at us and/or more from out of line of sight for some reason, Azith and co will pull back away from the swamp instead. No way we're taking on things that big in a fair fight.

>>1317219Fernium, you're charging through a wall of fire - are you sure you want to do that?
>>1317377Can they not slip around it? I thought this since the flames didn't completely block the bridge. If not go anyways since I feel that wizard might have magic items as a thing from my vice. Also that skeletons dont exactly suffer very much under flame.
The wall of fire hits right on top of the goblins. It's carnage, it's an inferno, it's... largely fine? Only two of the elements take damage (3 dmg each), only one of which routes immidiately. The other one will however have to make a roll to see if it does too, please Drazza.Mazak's skeletons go all out, throwing caution in the wind even in the face of an enemy more likely to profit from their recklessness - and they reap their rewards, even supported by the goblins still engaged (-6 str to skelingtons)Mazak himself is faced with a knight before him, that he could either engage in combat or flee from further back into his men's ranks.His skeletons are killed under the swords of the armoured infantry.From the north, a confident councillor meatonstick hastes down to the battle, a skeleton cavalry element now following timidly.The wizard is under heavy attack: Bjorn's attack flauntered slightly (I rolled you a 5), but not only is he far more formidable than the wizard in warfare, the comparisson in prowess amongst his men compared to the guards of the spent wizard is massive. The element is not just routed, it is completely destroyed, Bjorn likely taking the wizard's life in whatever fashion he sees fit. (-0 str dmg)(Because of this and because I don't think Ferniun understood that wall of fire is a semipermanent effect, I will keep his elements from attempting the walk through it which, if they fail their rolls, would be lethal for at least two of them. I hope that's fine.)Meanwhile, in the east, Azith attempts to get one of the beast's attention with his goblin archers, but it turns into a support action as Drussith charges the beast with both his elements, trying to slay it in single combat. The charge itself goes very well, especially the element with the bone lances seem to hurt the beast sorely, finding easy purchase within its shifting flesh. (-2 str damage). But the attack of Drussith's goes badly, and the beast opens up his armour (-1 vit) with a terrible bite, and only through his experience in dueling he manages to cut the beast in a narrow counter attack (roll 1d6, on a 1, you kill the thing)The other beasts seem to begin huddling together in what appears to be fear.[Wiz 1] l Fernium The Death Wizard[Bar2] l Azith the Mauler[Cha3] l Mazak the Accursed[Bar4] l Councillor Meatonstick[Cha5] l Dread Knight Drussith[Cha6] l Drazza][Ac7] l Viktor the Flamboyant Scourge[Bar8] l Bjorst

As it happens, it didn't seem to put up much of a fight, and the other ones seem scared. Guess they're not that dangerous after all. As such, there's no reason to back down on our idea of killing one. Azith will lead his forces forwards. First up, the shaman will move up and cast his magic on them from as close as he can get (disarray spell on the hex the big beasties are in, first roll). Meanwhile, the orcs and melee goblins will move up to create a front line with the archers supporting them. If going into the hex with the monsters wouldn't be suicidal at that point (which I suppose may happen what with the magic), they will then charge the beasties. If it would be suicidal, they'll sit back and we'll shoot arrows at them for this turn (so second roll for whatever combat ends up happening).

Drazza's goblins run up to and start beating against the north door. It's hard and sturdy, and their small claws can't do much to it. but at least the archers are busy further south, although it seems the walls are being remanned.A completely battered knight element flees north, pursued by a skeleton element that doesn't manage to quite catch up with the cavalry (-1 vit to Mazak!)At the west gate, the carnage is absolute: goblins splash against men at arms, being pelted by arrows from the other side of the river while arrows rain upon the goblins from the walls. There is not enough surface area for all goblins to attack, so their numbers advantage is slightly mitigated. Additionally, some plead to a god happens behind the walls, and one of the elements is suddenly shielded by some divine light!But Drazza and Meatonstick seem to simply be the better commanders, and so they get the better of this exchange, although due to the defensive stance of the men at arms, minimal damage is sustained on both sides. (-1str damage to Drazza, -1 str damage Meatonstick)Also, Ferniun fills his pocktets with the finest organs lying around (+2 mag)Bjorst cries for surrender over the battle, but even though the offer might be tempting, in the midst of this fighting, the fear of being slaughtered when they'd lay down their weapons makes the thought of surrender with no escape an impossibility for the men at arms.Bjorst's orcs cross the waning fire without casualties, and choose to, instead of crossing another hex with a fire wall, to take the long way around the cliff side.Meanwhile Viktor follows Drussith's knights further north, being carried along with his witch, which recieves +1 magic from monster entrails. Drussith himself arrives at the ruin to find a group of goblins, about fourty in number, running out of it, following one holding an amulate with a purple stone in it high, shouting "Oh Miss Drazza! Lookz ye here what we'z got!"Your men start entering the ruin and looking around.Azith's assault goes terribly. his goblins, slowed down by the swamp (to reiterate: swamp movement is infantry movement-1) cannot join in the charge, and what is far worse, his goblin seems to have misjudged the point of attack so severely that he himself is now engulfed in yellow-green energy! (roll 1d6, hope for low)It is now then two orc elements, supported by two goblin elements, against two of these gigantic creatures! They trade blow for blow, the orcs giving the beasts as much hell as they recieve (-3 str dmg)Azith himself finds himself under direct attack by one of the beasts!

The goblins pile up at the walls of the city, arrows raining down on them, Meatonstick valiantly fighting in the gate, but his goblins succumbing to his greater foe (-2 str to the front goblin element) (-1 str to Drazza and Meatonstick from the arrow fire).During the fighting, Fernin, having not managed to gain the interest of some decaying skeletons leaving the battlefield, comes up with his cavalry and leeches off life from behind the sea of goblins, but either distraction or divine prtoection on the human's part makes the spell rather ineffective (+1 global life force, -2 mag to Fernien)Azith meanwhile, continously bleeding men, gets a slightly better deal this turn, but doesn't manage to make much of a dent himself. The third and fourth roll of my processing are for you and the monsters But he himself manages to climb one of the beasts necks and crash his mace into it, the beast buckling in pain and crashing into its brother. The battling continues.Battling also continues where Bjorst's men are fighting with the skeletons, managing to route them. (-1 damage to one of your units) Bjorst himself starts crashing through skeletons, but only manages to kill a third of the ones between him and the cultist before being struck himself, (-1 vit) allowing the cultist to escape - only to be intercepted by Drussith.Drussith and Viktor had wanted to simultaniously explore the house and capture the cultists and decided the best way of doing that is splititng up.So Drussith rode up behind the cultist as he was fleeing and surrounded him with his knights. The man starts cursing you, and pleading with his god, his eyes rolling back into their sockets.From the north, alarmed from the screeches, an element of what appears to be dreadknights, among them robed men on horses, and trailed by an undead army come seemingly to the cultist's aid.The Ashen knights explore further into the crater and discovers the source of the swamp beasts: a gigantic maw sits in the side of the mountain, currently in the process of vomiting out such a monster. The disembodied criesof agony emanate off the monstrosity, that seems to be bound with purple tentacles coming out of the ground and holding the mass of flesh in place.Viktor, in the building, is confronted with a massive shattered mural. It's a scene depicting three siblings emerging from the womb, each trying to hold the other back. The inscription reads "The birth of They-Who-Births and Their wretched brothers".During all this, reinforcements arrive.[Wiz 1] l Fernium The Death Wizard[Bar2] l Azith the Mauler[Cha3] l Mazak the Accursed[Bar4] l Councillor Meatonstick[Cha5] l Dread Knight Drussith[Cha6] l Drazza][Ac7] l Viktor the Flamboyant Scourge[Bar8] l Bjorst[Ac9] l Gairan

Ok so we have to choose which one of the horrible gods in this cursed land we want to ally with, one is the maw that vomits monsters the other one is its brother sealed in the dwarven city and the third one is the one that the cultists follow, one who dwells bellow.they hate each other and are trying to stop the others from becoming real gods so we will most likely have to kill two of them to awake the third one.So yeah which one do you prefer?
>>1323158I dunno but it would make sense that we focus our efforts on one of them.I think the one who dwells bellow might be a great choice since it won't demand too much fighting to get to it.Which means that the Maw and whatever is in Grimershall must BURN.
>>1323166I'm not sure there is anything in Grimershall other than a school of mages, the dwarven town is the one far north, if we ally with the cultists we won't have to kill them so that is a plus, instead we might have to kill a bunch of monsters and siege a dorf fortress>>1323166>>1322869you two are the Acolytes so I'll ask you, which one of the three do you want to ally with?
>>1323182We should atleast investigate the one inside the dwarf town before we make any decisions. Either way the cultists are already trying to kill us.
>>1322810has drazza analyzed the amulet?>>1322856maybe you should try divination on the mural?
Rolled 5 (1d6)>>1323182Regardless of whether there's a god locked in Grimershall or not, we're too engaged to back down especially considering the artifacts a city of mages must contain.Now as to which god I'd prefer...I frankly don't know, we have zero information on what each gods does.And regarding my divination, I would actually require a god for it to be reliable but I don't mind trying.Okay, I'll try to divine the mural, rolling for it (I'll roll again if it's not the right dice).
>>1323185They are trying to kill us because Bjorst charged their leader, now I have captured said leader so I can either finish him or take him to his troops and plea for our lives
>>1323194I suggest we take the third option and keep him hostage until we reach the place he wanted us to go.Then I'll just sacrifice him to his god and see how he likes that.

>>1323250Yeah, a rabbit would be way ridiculous and impractical...Their fur catches on fire too easily.
>>1323250>>1323252are you guys sure you don't want to have dorf bros?
>>1323182I prefer allying myself with a being that would not make me question my sanity, if i saw it and did not have a giant maw. It freaks me out in general. But most likely let us look at all of our options, and as Fernium said lets look at the one that the dwarves have sealed.
>>1323254But their beards catches on fire!!!Also, I frankly doubt they'll appreciate a horde of orcs/bandits/undeads/witches and more on their doorstep.Especially if we explain that we want to liberate a dark god.
>>1323254Pretty sure if it was the dorfs that sealed him, we won't be bros by freeing him.
>>1323255Frankly the problem so far is that we have no particular reason to choose one god over the other, which means that we might as well choose the easiest option.
>>1323258>>1323261I think is more like the one in the dorf town was sealed by the one who dwells below>>1317122And is somehow judging something, most likely being the dorf's god, but I might be wrong
>>1323265I still dont want to ally myself with a giant maw that spits out creatures....But that is very true.
>>1323270Oh don't worry about the Maw, it will burn in time...Frankly, the only choice is between the drawven god and the god from the ruin.And it turns out the god from the ruin is the closest/easiest to reach.
>>1323273he is also the one with the bloodthirsty purple cultists
>>1323273Hopefully it does soon, burning such a abomination with a cleansing flame does a lot to help the mind. And you are right, I will get the censers so we may begin soon.
>>13232761)They are not in our way2)We have their leader.3)I like their enthusiasm.
>>1323281Also we are going to need someone to shut the cultist up before he summons anything or grants his allys a boon.
>>1323283Can't someone just knock him out?Barring that and if he doesn't need to speak, I have an idea that may work.
>>1323286Speaking of ideas, got one how to get into that city? I was thinking of piling up several hundred goblins at the gates and the others can just climb over them... pretty sure it's not going to work as well as i am imagining though
I'd just like to point out these guys are evil cultists, they may not care if one of their own is being held hostage. When we broke him out of jail they weren't exactly doing shit to rescue him.
>>1323290True. Well, if they don't care about him, that just means we'll have to fight them regardless of our goals.>>1323289I'd be hard pressed to find an answer to that question, perhaps you'd have more luck with Gairan.Maybe once I'm done divining I can look for a weakness in their walls...

>>1323290the cultists knights are calling him "Master" so he might be the cultist leader.>>1323289Gairan has siege equipment so you guys should go into siege mode and not assault mode and wait for him to breach the walls.also we need to capture that city and regroup
>>1323297As drussith said, they have that gate in lockdown. If you can fortify your position and simply attempt ranged fire onto them until I am able to arrive and relieve the situation by breaching the wall. Also dibs on any siege equipment we may find.
>>1323296It's gonna be fun watching you struggle to haul your catapults everywhere...>>1323297Maybe once I'm back to Grimershall we could do FLAMING boulders!

Drazza's goblins try and scale Grimershall's walls but predictably get thrown back by the men at arms now manning the battlements, although her goblins do better than expected. (-5 dmg)At the same time Meatonstick's goblins try and abtter the gate down, unperturbed by archers that are focusing on Drazza, but to little success. Meanwhile, the rest of his goblins pull back and dig in. "We are not here to fight!" Drussith starts, pulling the still chanting cultist by the collar. But before he can even give the order to pull back to his men, the robed man changes - his body turns black and malformed, tentacles and eyes sprouting from his now festering flesh, ever growing and growing and growing, until a monstrous mass of tentacles, mouths and eyes stands hugely tall, and enters combat witht he knights, preventing their move (roll for defense and then tell me/roll for what you want to do on your turn)Bjorst's men manage to kill the cavalry including the general before they can run, (+6 morale) but as they celebrate, the enemy dread knight element, lead by a headless knight with an axe that seems to scream at every hit, jams itself between them and the now malformed cultist and engages his army (roll to defend, then tell me /roll for what you want to do on your turn)meanwhile the skeleton army moves up, the ones in the front carrying long pikes.The Ashen knights reach their vantage point, seeing skeletons wandering around the wastes of the crater.In the east, one of Azith's elements is healed +3 str dmg, as he finally takes down one of the beasts (-3 formation damage, +6 morale to 2 elements of your choosing.)The new arrival makes his way to the crossroads. Wood, he thinks, might be the limiting factor for siege equipment, and time. Ladders, he thinks, he could easily build quickly. With Siege towers, a large quantity of men could cut down on time.

Meatonstick's goblins run up again to the wall, trying to find every nook and cranny to hold on to, climbing on piles of corpses, only to be cut down once more by defenders that are growing weary. Through the support of Drazza, the damage can be contained somewhat. (-3 to Meatonstick's elements) Azith's orcs suffer a horrible defeat by the cut up monster they barely scratch its cut up and bleeding hide while it tears through orcs and goblins (-5 str dmg) if any of your elements are lusing more than half of their str, roll rally or they'll route. Also: DAMN that's some shit luck.Azith himself finds himself again face to face with the beast - he might be able to kill the beast [in Personal Combat] before it does any more damage - Or he'll be the target of just that damage.His shaman delects himself on the entrails of the downed monster, Viktor's witch partaking. (+1 mag to each)Fernien's skeletons are piling in on the dread knight that is also being fought ferociously by armoured knights, orcs, and desperate slaves. The first engagement between Bjorst and the knights went less than favourably, but the latter seem to have more interest in staying there as long as possible, rather than hurting Bjorst's mean (-2 str dmg to Bjorst from the DEFEND)This attack now however, with the added bodies of the skeletons, rips into the enemy - the reckless abandon of his units, all trying to down the leader of the knights (which so far, none have managed) balances out their defensive fighting style, and so quite a lot of damage is one (-2 str dmg) But that's when the skeleton army charges into Fernien's flank! (roll for defense, but also tell me your next move and roll for that) Meanwhile, one of the enemy cultists transforms into a smaller version of the abomination you are fighting, while the others summon forth what looks like tentacles from the ground!Drussith, with the help of the cavalry, defends and then starts backing down, but both times, the monster seems to fight as strong as it can, while Drussith has trouble maintaining order in his ranks! While he manages to keep his damage light, almost nothing is done to the abomination. (-3 on defense, -2 on defensive continued fighting.)Gainan's engineers and goblins begin cutting down trees.To replace all those dead goblins YET MORE goblins pile in, lead by a particularly brave one.[Wiz 1] l Fernium The Death Wizard[Bar2] l Azith the Mauler[Cha3] l Mazak the Accursed[Bar4] l Councillor Meatonstick[Cha5] l Dread Knight Drussith[Cha6] l Drazza][Ac7] l Viktor the Flamboyant Scourge[Bar8] l Bjorst[Ac9] l Gairan[Bar10] l Amentus the strategist >>1324067you can get that XP
>>1327825forgot pic>>1324913And because I know you Bjorst, I will explain why both have the same damage to you: the first was defensive, meaning halved damage taken and damage output. there, you had lost by 3 DoS, meaning you got half of 5 dmg rounded down, and dealt half of 2. Second was an all out attack vs a defensive enemy, meaning double dmg dealt and recieved v halved dmg dealt and recieved = normal damage dealt and recieved. You WON with 3 dos that time, with a better roll on your part and a worse one on theirs and the help of the skeletons. so you got 2 dmg and dealt 5.

>>1328562I could reeeally use some ladders
>>1328841have you been keeping track of your morale?
>>1328841Yeah, we figured that even BEFORE you sent most of your troops to die.But hey, keep going and maybe that ramp of yours will be complete, hmm?
>>1328700how are drazza and meatonstick still at full morale after 7 turns of getting slaughtered non stop? am I the only one keeping trap of his troops morale?
>>1328844Yeah, every attack counts as one morale, doesn't it?
>>1328862Saftey in numbers, as long as we're in cohesion with other elements who have that feature, the number of elements adds to morale. Which is why I'm at 7/11. The 7 are from attacking, the 11 are because I lost an element, and now I only have 5
>>1328862Mine did go down but it just got filled up this last update by winning my fight. What do folks reckon I should do now? Head into the general melee with everyone else? My forces are moderately battered but can still go on.

>>1328875Honestly, I would encourage you to come with me, Azith and Drussith (and Fernium if he is available) to finally take care of the god at the "???" site. Maybe we'll also take care of the Maw.This way, either we pacify the cultists either we destroy the source of their powers.

Amentus starts fording the river, leading his goblins well. The ones he left behind to build the siege tower don't benefit from his leadership and are more a hinderance than a help to Gairan's siege engineer.The latter's goblins are now making their way to the siege with ladders.Drazza's goblins continue building a network of trenches to surround grimershall, and together with meatonstick's goblins they make *some* headway.Meatonstick himself continues to batter against the door, getting pleted with arrows and stones from the murderholes (-4 str). The gate genuinely shows structural weaknesses now, with some fist sized holes in the thick wood, showing the portcullis and waiting soldiers behind. Through one such a hole, a bolt flies towards Meatonstick (roll skill again to avoid)Ferniun's skeletons continue fighting, and under his control, they would no doubt have won this altercation handily. As it is however, the fighting goes evenly, as the front expands with skeletons from behind mpoving up to hit Bjorst's forces. They do however manage to route one of the skeleton elements.(-3 str to the skellies) Bjorst (I think he's left? I'll bot him for now) continues the fighting with the goblins at his side, but now with the smaller abomination and some skeletons joining, the enemy knights manage to disengage battered and bruised.(-2 str to Bjorst's forces) As Viktor's witch gathers the last btis of entrails useable for her magic (+1 mag) from the monster, Azith's forces move further north, where Drussith is aiming to join his Ashen knights that have just now extinguished one of the skeleton elements (-1 dmg to them)[Wiz 1] l Fernium The Death Wizard[Bar2] l Azith the Mauler[Cha3] l Amentus the strategist[Bar4] l Councillor Meatonstick[Cha5] l Dread Knight Drussith[Cha6] l Drazza][Ac7] l Viktor the Flamboyant Scourge[Bar8] l Bjorst[Ac9] l Gairan[Bar10] l Amentus the strategist

Amentus oversees the building of the tower, which is going along nicely with the guiding of the engineer. The insults hurled at the knights seem to intimidate them more than they egg them on.Fernien's skeletons, not benefitting from his leadership manage another fairly even tussle with the enemy, but take less damage than them as they move back onto the blighted earth (-1 dmg to skelingtons)The goblins have worse luck (or rather: worse starting positions) as the abomination does pull back, but not before inflicting 3 str dmg to Viktor's goblins.The dread knights destroy the skeleton element that seems to put up the fight of its life, but its best efforts against the somewhat botched fighting of the dread knights results in their death and -1 dmg to one of the elements. Fernien follows.Arda manages to begin his ford without losses to be expected.Fernien trys to get to the black building, that seems to be just the casign of one large, ornate rooms, from which the superb shine of gold seems to be emanating faintly. But before he can enter, the back line of the Ashen knights stands in his way: "We're not supposed to let you in there, Sir." Now you're a hero. You could take these men, and they'd likely shy away from actually injuring you. If you want to do so, and risk the lifes of a few knights, you can try.Meanwhile, trenches continue to be built around the city, as Meatonstick gives an ultimatum. "Open the gates!" he cries. "I give you one [turn] to think!" and he moves back through the masses of goblin bodies.[Wiz 1] l Fernium The Death Wizard[Bar2] l Azith the Mauler[Cha3] l Amentus the strategist[Bar4] l Councillor Meatonstick[Cha5] l Dread Knight Drussith[Cha6] l Drazza][Ac7] l Viktor the Flamboyant Scourge[Bar8] l Bjorst[Ac9] l Gairan[Bar10] l Amentus the strategistSee you in a few days or so!
