Turn 17: Shields are OPStay behind the other servant of the Overlord, and use my attacks defensively to disrupt or kill anyone attacking him or myself. If the area is cleared, then fire bolts at the Undead Hunter.
"Why did you attack this place alone? Are you crazy?!? Whatever. Focus that Undead Hunter, she's a lot more dangerous than the rest around here."
Keep attacking the guards.
"You were holding out on me, weren't you?"
Impish Roll: (1), Impish Activates!
Realizing that you still haven't made the Undead-hunter pissed off to your satisfaction, you proceed to taunt her. (1) Thankfully, or unfortunately, she seems to think that your point is correct, and throws a light bolt at your face! (5+1 vs. 3+1+1) You manage to dodge away from the attack. It seems that she only is targeting you now! (-1 when she targets anyone but you).
(6 vs. 1) The sudden change of events lets Masasit take advantage of an weakness within the enemy guards! (3 vs. 2) Almost half of the remaining guards stand after the attack (Enemy Morale Roll: 5), but they stand their ground.
The other heroes don't seem as sure on what to do. The virtuous fighter seems to be preparing to join the town's defense, the suspicious man seems to favor leaving.
Get into a position where I can see over the palisade and use attack spells to soften up the way for Chad.
My troops continue their ranged barrage.
Chad steamrolls through the enemy army towards the palisade, as only a giant bug demon can.
Chad's imps once again freeze the enemy.
Hold the Line, Crush my Enemies
"So, the mice feel like they are cold. Do not worry, I will send you to the warmest place you'll ever see! Be cast into Hades, Weaklings!
Unlucky Roll: (4)
(6) You manage to get into a wonderful position for attacking the enemy. Unfortunately, it seems to be ripe to the attacks of the enemy's ranged units! (4 vs. 5) (Enemy Damage Roll: 2 vs. 6) They manage to attack your position, but you thankfully are able to hide from the assault.
The imps, once again, attempt to freeze the enemy. (2 vs. 2) The enemy, however, seems to resist the attack slightly, but are still visably affected. (-1 to enemy attack this turn.) The armies clash again, (5 vs 3-1), and again the Overlord's army manages to push the offensive (3 vs 4), but fails to do much on harming the enemy. Next come the ranged assault from behind the army, (3 vs. 2) (5 vs. 5) but dispite successfully hitting the enemy is blocked by their shields.
Garland's next assault begins, (5+1 vs. 6) but the enemy manages to block with their shields. Why are these things so tough when people block with them?
(5 vs. 1) Chad, attempting to get to safety, does what only a Giant Bug Demon can do, and charges through the enemy! (1 vs. 6) While no troops were harmed by his large movement, he is now in allied territory. Well, between two armies, but close enough.
Intimidate her by saying this:
"If you will not answer my questions then I'll have to do a lot of unpleasent things to get you talking, I know, lets play a game, every time you don't answer my questions, I'll peel away a small piece of your life-force, and we can keep playing it until you are no more then a lifeless husk."
(4 vs. 2) Your prisoner seems to lack the resistance with this one.
"My name is Ailith. I was born in that village." Well, she did technically answer your old questions, but she still seems to be hiding as much as she can.
Bellow for my army to join me!
Keep my axe at ready for any attackers.
(1) Your shout is met with silence. Now that you think about it, your troops went the opposite direction then you did when they escaped. The cowards probably are just loitering around somewhere.
(4 vs 1) The enemy sudden comes down from the lower deck, but you were ready to attack as soon as they came. Caught unaware, (1 vs. 3) they still manage to dodge your axe. They seem to be ready to fight!
