The skaven had been massing near Struhelspan for some time now, but as a prelude to their great attack, Grey Seer Veminous Fang ordered a contingent of troops to assault a small outlying fort, outnumbering the defenders by at least two to one. The foolish empire defenders left the gate-gate wide open, so as to fire their giant ratling gun out at the approaching plague monks, lead by the Plague Priest Varsknit. a mortar shot boomed out of nowhere and half a dozen plague monks fell. Handgunners on the ramparts, stirred by the fiery orations of a warrior priest, felled several clanrats, but the advance continued. Jezzails felled some humans with bows on top of the gate. The big ratilng gun started firing and killed two plague monks, but then exploded, killing its crew and destroying itself. The mortar had a problem firing, so the clanrats were spares. Warp-lightning scoured the ramparts, several bolts making it past the magical defenses to completely destroy a unit of handgunners, wounding the accompanying captain. THe main clanrat unit made it to the walls and used grappling hooks to assault the other handgunners. Although they couldnot kill any, sheer numbers forced the soldiersand the accompanying warrior preist to fall back. As the plague monks burst through the gates, they were charged by a unit of knights, but held. The plague priest clashed together his armbands, and challenged the unit champion, slaughtering him. A rear charge soon after by a unit of tunneling gutter runners broke the knights, who fled all the way across the table. A lone rat ogre attacked a detatchment of crossbowmen, killing three. They fled and were eaten. With clanrats pouring over the walls, the empire army destroyed or retreating, and a crazed plague priest rampaging around, the empire general slain, Skaven won the day! |
