14th Obsidian 208: Siege!
The marksdwarves fire carefully, but the Spawn dodge with ease. Jack Magnus is the first to engage a Spawn in melee, backed up by Fischer. Jack cuts off the elite spawn's foot, making it fall. It swipes at him but he nimbly jumps away and takes off its arm.
Fischer joins him, and performs martial dentistry.
Terrahex and Mekkia help them by peppering the spawn with bolts.
The second Spawn joins in, and is paid with a shattered upper body for its troubles by Fischer. Jack and Tenshedstagshil are cutting limbs off like a blender.
Fischer causes a spawn to enrage, then severs its arms. Another spawn joins in.
The rest of Squad 1, 2 and 3 move in.
Jack barely dodges a move, then gets knocked over by a spawn that's frothing blood and fuming. Awl joins in to help him. Klikit and Lor fire fruitlessly. Mekkia scores a hit, which would kill any normal being.
Mincer and Kramar hang back.
Fischer scratches one in the tongue, which tears apart its cheek. Klikit breaks a Spawn's leg with a bolt. Fischer blocks a barrage of attacks before punishing the spawn who launched the attacks with a chop to the face. Paintbrushturkey just about bisects one's skull, which doesn't kill it. Kramar punches, but misses. Mincer hangs back.
A huge Elite Wrestler spawn faces Fischer. Fischer stands strong, and with her are Skitara, Awl and Dauros. Draignean and Niccolo fight another.
A spawn is captured. The spawn who Klikit shot is being used for target practice.
Many spawn die to Squad 1, 2 and 3's axes and pikes.
It's all going well; no injuries. And then:
Domas Aknunfeb Ramoltakuth Kogan has been struck down.
Domas was doing just as well as anyone else, but a lucky strike from a spawn tore her brains out.
Rochia happily peppers a crippled spawn with bolts. Banai decides to join in. Corai misses with all six of his shots.
Fischer and Dauros barely dodge several hits.
Besides the death of Domas, the battle's going much better than the last one. Anri II almost hits the heart of a spawn.
Draignean plows into three spawn and scatters them like bowling pins. Fischer dodges another attack and neatly severs its head.
Skewer barely dodges some hits. Dauros gets into the swing of things.
Draignean uses a Spawn as a punching bag.
Banai joins in finally and shoots at random. Jack Magnus staggers back a few steps, blood gushing out of his back. He drops his shield and Tenshedstagshil, and uselessly throws himself at the spawn but bounces off.
My friend....
His entire squad leap to his defence and surround the broken dwarf. Jack attempts to crawl away, and gets a decent way. He looks bad; his entire lower body hangs useless. He gasps and growls soundlessly.
Skitara follows him and starts laying into the crippled spawn following the quadriplegic Jack.
Jack bumps into another spawn, who bites him. Jack breaks free, his squad clean up the spawn chasing him.
Jack Magnus, my friend... I hope you make it.
Crippled and dying, Jack rolls and drags himself painfully and slowly toward Spearbreakers. He looks up at the gate, smiles, and dies.
Jack Magnus the Ordered Fight has suffocated.
Why... why did Jack have to die?
The spawn inside the gate are all dead now. Squad 2 and 3 return to their original spots. I order Fischer's squad to take care of the four remaining Spawn, when...
The Minotaur Child Eb Ritasgeb has come!
Awww, lookit the little baby minitaur.
