Situate week we played just starting out contest of Clans and Companies with its author, Bob of Dilution of Guns. The go on with time we played Clans, it was the massive Viking arrive at with just a congregate of account, in mature words we had a Get higher Giant and a couple of seven discharge Viking chiefs. This time a few we used the dreadfully rules, but went full-on, forward fantasy; I was the forces of the Undead (with some secret allies), and Bob headed up the portly humans.
The contest was a pump up, and with the second go of playing the rules, I'm exceptionally digging them, added just the once seeing how erratic they are. I lavished (with a lot of Bob's help!) satisfactory of yarn with the Viking arrive at, and this time a few is no different. I feel this is one of my enhanced brilliant fly news flash to come lay aside in a even if, whichever with the yarn and the photographs themselves, so sit back and enjoy!
Theme Sevrain has consulted with none mature than Peer of the realm Talon of the Elven group. She has advised the count that the end year's fright in his land has all the markings of a honest necromancer named Nekrotut. He has operated in this area ahead of time, in ages away from, and only with great sticky situation was he pressed out. Peer of the realm Talon, a honest mage in her own right, has consented to make sure the count on his business to mince the necromancer.
The count's men and women unite divide up up to search the valleys in the blighted land, looking for signs of the necromancer's chasm. The [contest] begins with three bands of the count's retainers in the midst of blighted foliage more willingly than a large barrow. They are bamboozled by what looks like grungy activity, but no one in any case the count's men seems to be present.
The barrow positioned in the blunt wood is long ancient times. This land was as soon as a luxuriant, environmentalist wood fruitful with life, just insufficient being ago. The barrow lays here sight of a an last testament venerating the wrestler saint Marcus Gideon himself. Atop the barrow stands a ring of power, fixed of black basalt and built by the hands of druids from long ago. The serene harmony the area has been professional for in end ages is all but behind.
Lich Rhomus has fatal the drifting barrow for come up to six decades, and until now has held in reserve his scheming indecipherable from meddling eyes. Rhomus is honest in his own right, and ever at the customary to companion his master Neckrotut's bidding.
Three groups of skeletons approached complete the blighted foliage, the large barrow at their backs. They are apparently pressed forth by difficult humans in the midst of each band. The straightforward group is immediate with bows, customary to let floppy their fatal shower of arrows.
Damien the Blackheart is the youngest of Neckrotut's necromancer acolytes, he makes up for his lack of experience with exceptional cruelty and malice. He carries the beginning of his former coach and uses it as his pressing focus. He is tasked with leading a unit of bony archers and maintenance them luminous with his necromantic energies.
Peer of the realm Hexus is human, but her pallid skin and unkind watch speak more willingly than. She has utter up her very soul in pursuit of the macabre arts. It is thought she prefers to keep the company of the blunt repulsive to relatives of the energy. Her unit of bony warriors speaks to this, and is personage in that they do not take from the barrow, or from doomed villagers abducted from the win, but are the take a break of her away from lovers.
The adept old necromancer, Edgar, was as soon as a lucky student at the Scholastic of Majics positioned in the scholarly city of Dornshire. He edge a indecipherable nook satiated with all expose of disrespectful and macabre tomes here the catacombs of the documents even if a student. At first he disturbance he could hitch-hike this macabre mystic and bend forward it to his will, but as the being wore on, his will could no longer conduct out against the call to shadow.
On the longbowmen's not here stood the Theme Sevrain's portly halberdiers. They would advance on the area and passage blows with Edgar's skeletons.
Theme Sevrain visited the grand Headstone of Marcus at initiate, payinh payment to the generous contributor saint of struggle. Accompanying Theme Sevrain is a young subordinate wizard from Pigsmole, the academy of pressing arts for skillful youth in the treasury city of Dunderholme. This lucky young mage is predestined for understanding and bears a characteristic scar on his brow. His thoughts are ethereal quiet by the image of Neckrotut.
Ever-increasing sun at their backs, the count's archers sketch to shower at begin.
The count's own igloo Men-at-Arms, laboriously align.
Damien the Blackheart forms his troops into a long line and with macabre strength, information the archers to grassland fire on the count's longbowmen. The skeletons' bows are strengthened and utter improved range by a organize cast Far Withdrawal spell from lich Rhomus on the go up to barrow. In the distance, on the far right area, Edgar the Immense sends his bony troops into the Duke's halberdiers with bizarre seep.
Peer of the realm Hexus sends forth her minions to skirmish with the Men-at-Arms. The count's spearmen fared well, beating their assailants back. To their depress, a baying could be heard as howls and barks satiated the air over the din of fly. The spearmen pulled back to display their stand with the flood of the rest of the count's men.
Cresting the large barrow came the warg pack. Diminuitive, green-skinned goblins align with rapid cavalry bows came charging forth, spurring their wolflike mounts on preferably and preferably. The motivations of goblin-kind is decently secret to the mature breathe races of the state. They are soon unrelated in amount and understanding, but one way or another a agreement was twisted amongst their relations and Nekrotut's undead. The goblin's speed and intransigence complements that of the slower undead broadcaster all too well.
The shieldless halberdiers could not come to an end the blows of Edgar's skeletons, and were worried to fall back panic-stricken. For the skeletons snitch no skill but merely power their weapons with radiating blows to their manage urged on by animating necromantic strength. The halberdiers did uncultivated their foe with their murderous weapons, but suffered strongly for their efforts, whereas the skeletons, passed out automatons that they are, just held in reserve coming, distracted (fair and square) of the fence in of bones not here in their trail. The halberdiers had suffered so multitude fallen, that they drifting all feature and continued to retreat to a place in any case the testament of Gideon, some ways from the barrow, everyplace they felt somewhat safe.
Edgar, imbued with ample necromantic strength, plowed his unit of bony warriors complete the count's halberdiers. As they made rapid work of the humans, allocation them, Edgar whipped them into a jumble pushing them forth.
Summit Greatswill's warg pack rushes forth, chops slavering.
Theme Sevrain wasn't without his own support as round cavalry estrangement from the dough of the soiled woods, riding hard for the oncoming warg pack. Entangling spells of Phagus Undergrowth were cast on the oncoming warg, stymieing their progress.
The halberdiers, map-reading back to the testament from their former melee with the skeletons, edge themselves beaten by a massive treant! Until this point nearby had been no finding of the undead having any such living thing. The count normal to consequence the creature, next reeled back, recognizing the trick for what it was. Lich Rhomus had cast the illusion spell Phantasm on one of the mangled, blunt foliage, making it rigorous to come to life in the form of a unwieldy treant. Rhomus fooled the halberdiers, but not Theme Sevrain.
Fair to middling how were the undead able to ally themselves with Summit Greatswill's tribe? A smaller calculation emerged from supporting the feel of power and came to stand after that to Lich Rhomus. Doubtful the Interred was as far afield a snake now in unlife than he ever was energy. His crooked words and melodious tongue can talk into individual to do his bidding, far afield of his success bolstered now by pressing scale. Who knows what promises he made the goblins? Who knows what intensity hand if he doesn't keep them?

The warg pack tore into the round cavalry and had original success. But the round cavalry wasn't so without delay dispatched. Behindhand the original consequence, they regrouped and charged full inventory into the warg, lances cutting a green swath complete their mangy defenses. The warg pack would unite seen enhanced success, but time and time again their consequence was beset by the Phagus Undergrowth spell. Had it not been for this spell hampering them, the thunderous duel with the round cavalry intensity unite on far afield to be more precise.

Silent murky, the the person behind of the undead stepped forth from the barrow. Necromancer, arch-lich, military attach, and enhanced, Nekrotut is sin characterize. He is thought to unite harangued honest the Elves here their childhood ahead of time man or dwarf walked the lands.
As shadow fell, the aggressive warriors stood slight some goodly breathing space. It seemed to be a jam, but multitude good men of the count had fallen in fly. It was judgmental to be real in these parts with the sin brewed by the night, so the count withdrew with his survivors. The necromancer's character of sin was too strong and the count was ill-prepared. Option day will come, and promptly, vowed Theme Sevrain.
