The Dragon princes and Silver Helms had returned quickly with the news that the Dwarfs had been attacked. Tyrion immediately ordered to help the Dwarves, and now he stood before the city.
'Archers remain on the hill, cavalry, spearmen and Chrac,e with me.'
As the archers readied their bows for the first salvo, the High Elves marched forth.Their people had an alliance with the Dwarves, and they would not let their allies fall.
Not as long as he lived.

In the camp Gerratak rushed towards The Bronze Titan. "Ser" he said with a rushed regard even for a goblin "The dwarves are under attack by orcs and nurglites.". Bolting up Servaj started ordering for camp to be left and for everyone to mount up. Fifteen minutes later the Gilded Companies' Black Horse Cavalry rode through the forest on route to the open valley to help their current employers.

OOC: I'm not quite sure if everyone understands where my character is, so I'll clarify. Groshnik is in Falkenhold, the second city on the map (literally it is the number two). The place that is currently being attacked is a dwarven fort that is supposed to be defending the other bridge (the fort does not have a name yet). I mentioned this in one of my IC posts, saying that there was no way that Groshnik could really get to them in time to really make a difference, so he was just going to focus on Falkenhold.

The abomination, tired of waiting, leaps down into the dark alley in which the vermin-thing, and the small dwarf fight, and roars loudly into the night, alerting both to its presance before charging, barbed talon and dripping maw at the ready.

with the fort smashed open and the dwarven defenders routed the orcs set about to marching onwards.

{{we need some posts longer then 1 sentence ))

((marching, big bad posts to resume once real siege starts, (it will soon) next post we will arrive at city outskirts))

OOC: was banned for a week, sorry guys.

BIC: Snikrit summoned the strength to raise his head and look the Dwarf in the eye. He spat some saliva out. It was filled with blood and he had lost a tooth.
"This isn't over, scum. Not yet." Snikrit covered his face with his cloak and detonated a Poison Wind Globe. In the ensuing panic and confusion, he slipped away into the darkness.

The orcish armies now quickened in pace speeding up to a trans-plain pace. Their stockpiles of gear and equipment moving with them. At these paces only the fastest of cavalry riders would be able to keep up with the hordes of greenskins. With the current pace the orcish hordes would arrive at the city's outskirts by sundown. (And so it begins)

The Hydra, seeing the fight will soon begin redies his legions to charge after the orcs, ready for war.


The rotting abomination charges the tired and lone Dwarf, talons raised, tentacles flailing.

With his force attacking the forces of Destruction, Tyrion charged into a Chaos Lord, who was attacking the Dwarf Slayer. The Chaos lord had not yet seen him..

The Chaos-spawned horror, taken off guard, smashes through a nearby wall, half leaping, half being pushed. It then gets to it feet slowly before lunging foward with its barbed limbs, and slams the upstart mortal to the floor, howling horrifically as it raises its clawed arm, ready to smash in the fool's puny skull.

BIC people...

OOC: Robot, I detonated a Poisoned Wind globe down there, the Dwarves would of run, or since you attacked and stalled him: be dead.

BIC: Snikrit sat on a thatched roof and licked his wounds. He curled is tail around and bandaged the open wound on the end. He had to learn how to fight all over again. Beneath him he heard the scuffle and shrugged. "Not my business anymore. Damn Dwarf is too tough. I need to get back to the burrow and find some friends. Perhaps I could pull in some favours with that old Warlord... What was him name again..."

OOC: oook..

Rolling away from the Chaos Lord, who had dismounted him, Tyrion grabbed his sword back. Jumping back on his feet, he kicked the foul creature in his stomach, and leveled his sword.

The orcish hordes now entered the greater Falkenhold area now becoming a threat to the outlying villages. Many orcs set up camp but a fair group of orcs lead by a loyal follower (Translation: NPC) began to demand weapons from one of the villages. This group was only just a large band of boys lead by a black orc cheiftan. For now the vast majority of the orcish hordes (and their NPC friends) where nowhere to be found. This was of course very alarming to the leaders in charge of Falkenhold's defence as orcs which cannot be located are a far greater threat than those that can be located.

Punching his sword trough the Chaos Lord, Tyrion jumped back on his horse, unaware that the Chaos Lord was just stunned. He rode back with his army towards Falkenhold.

The Hydra's legion now enter the Falkenhold area, following behind their greenskin 'allies'. The number of spawn and forsaken following them had doubled, as the ritual was going well. Soon everyone they killed would rise up as spawn. Soon.


The Chaos lord, with a howl of anger gets to his feet slowly, how could that puny mortal have evaded him? HIM? With a growl he sprints after his target, Nurgle-blessed forsaken now slipping out of the shadows to join him.

The orcs now began burning the outlying villages of Falkenhold. From these villages they would gather weapons and supplies needed to erect siege weapons and platforms for the upcoming siege of Falkenhold keep. (their is a keep there with many treasures inside (gold and goodies oh my!) The keep is defended by a modest garrison of empire solders. The city is defended by a large army of dwarves from the hills as well.) Orcs began to draft their primary attack plan for the city of Falkenhold. The greenskins also began to move their lobba battery into a position overlooking the city.

((bump- Hey Gm guy, Can I develop non army book units (steam powered mechanical spider that spews gouts of fire or just even simple steam seige towers or something like that) I like inventive orcs and as thus wish to show it more later on))

Good idea. Same for my army. Nothing to far-out.

((SCORE! STEAM POWERED SEIGE WEAPONS HERE WE COME!, ps: the city has several experemental steamcannons high up in the keep))

((yup, you can take non-army book units.))

((well then LET THE SEIGE COMMENCE!))
