My fourth battle-report is a Silence The Watchtower skirmish scenario versus Dogs of War. He was attacking and I was defending.

A small note on these, this fourth one is a linked report on the last two ones.

And so this is number 3!

It was a dark and weary night... Hans von Gettel did not like the prospect of fighting the loathsome ratmen called Skaven, but since the army general had made pacts with the dwarf clan of Barak-Varr they did not have another option. Several of those dwarfs even joined the group so they were sure the enemy would be taken care off.
His rag-tag gang consisted of some strange creatures... he had several mercenaries but also halflings, dwarfs and even a scary ogre. Through the trees they advanced silently towards the lone sentry below the tower.

Vinshqueek sat on the lone tower... in the past few days there was this eery silence which didn't make him feel comfortable. He was alone here once again. The grey seer Verminous Fang awarded him for his good work with the honour of carrying his Banner, and so he gained in wealth and prestige of the Council. But somewhere along his thoughts... he liked to be back in the Underways, fighting off night goblins and dwarf-things alike.
Still, it was good out here... having his own outpost, a small clan under his command and the tokens from his victories.

Hans send his duellists forward to scout the area and the first one came back with the report that there was a lone sentry in front of the tower. There seemed to be a group heading their way, but they were far off at the moment.
He ordered the attack and quickly several throwing stars flew to the air. Not much seemed to hit the target, but one did... Only it was a bit too late and the sentry let out a big squeek before dying of his wounds, thus alarming the rest.

Vinshqueek heard the squeek from downstairs and looked to see his sentry dead on the ground. Luckily for him he noticed the entire band was coming back and that they responded as well. Quickly he took his torch and threw it in the wood, which started to burn and thus his beacon was light. Now he hoped they would last long enough to make a clear signal.

On top of the tower, Hans could see that the beacon was lit. He had to be quick now or all would fail! Tapping into the winds of magic he summoned a fireball and threw it towards the door of the tower, incinerating and destroying it with a single blast. He pointed the duelists to go into the building, and send the ogre, dwarfs, and halflings forward to take care of the other rat-things.

The shock of the fireball was feeled throughout the tower... Vinshqueek felt the urge to squirt the musk of fear, but readied himself. If they were to come to him, he would make them pay... in blood!

The duelists must have reached the top of the tower by now, Hans thought and readied himself for the battle to come. The halflings aim was straight and true, killing two ratmen but not stopping the horde. Hans kept the ogre in check, making sure that his effect would be the thing to break up this... this charge.

On top of the tower Vinshqueek could hear the first man-thing coming. It took a peak through the hatch and would regret that decision, since he chopped his head off with one stroke of his halberd. Vinshqueek beared his teeth and let out a mighty roar to know that he was spilling blood in glory to the Horned One!
On the ground bitter fighting erupted, when the warband of clan Vinshqueek fully charged the halflings and dwarfs. The halflings were quickly taken care off by the stormvermin and the dwarfs had a 3 to one battle against the clanrats.

Hans was shocked in terror to see those halflings ripped apart in a savage mockery of a butcher. Those dwarfs were still fighting, but there were two dark looking rats and one normal looking coming towards him right now... this was not good! Time to pull out my magic trick, he thought and tried to tap into the winds of magic one more time, only this time he did not succeed and so he sent forth the ogre. Muk-muk, ATTACK!

Vinshqueek fought with vigour and fury unknown to him before... he had joy in this slaughter and one by one his assailants were stabbed and hacked at. They would never reach the top, they would never kill him!
On the ground the ogre charged in the two stormvermin and took them apart with his trusty weapon, a huge club. The remaining clanrat couldn't watch this horror, and fled. The remaining clanrats had the dwarfs taken care off and looked around, only to see the ogre remaining.

Hans ran into the tower to check upon the duelists, only to see the most of them slaughtered. There was only one left who was pushing his friends body through the hatch... they had failed their job.

Vinshqueek keeped jumping up and down upon the dead man-things body, gleeing joyfully and especially when he heard the sound of horns... horns which were familiar to him, horns of seer Verminous Fang's horde.
Down the tower, they seemed to notice this as well as all the clanrats jumped towards the ogre and started to hack and slash at him, taking him down in the way a Skaven should do this... with numbers!

--> victory to Skaven

Post-mortem:
------------
Grey seer Verminous Fang walked towards Lord Vinshqueek. Nicy-nice job done. You have proven worth-worth to Skaven-cause. Watch-tower has done good-good job and I grant you task of building small town around it... let a small skaven outpost begin here!

(Hint towards next battle... propably a town-raid ;) )
