Storm of Chaos---------Fight for the Struhelspan.


Skaven:
Little did the empire know that at night fall they would strike. They creep in the shadows of darkness. Consuming all that is good without a word of warning. They are the most elite,the most cunning and the most devious of all that walk among us. They are the graduates of assasination. They are the Clan Eshins finest.

It all starts when the moon takes over the sky and the Sun along with the man-things fall asleep. They are everywhere, set up and prepared for it to begin. They wait until the target is weery. The time is coming. Just a little longer. Now! The first skirmish is in place. "Yes...Yes..." mutters their leader, Deathmaster Skolff. He can see the slight flicker of a flame coming from the opposite side of the bridge. Everything seems to be going as planned.




Empire:
The bridge keeper stands there ever alert as the messenger and Captain Wellsbourgh conversate.

Messenger: " Sir Wellsbourgh, I have word from middenheim that we must guard the bridge with our lives. And if God forbid it ever gets overtaken we must burn it down and destroy it to keep "them" from getting it."

Captain Wellsbough: " Yes, I have heard. This is a key battlepoint, if evil gets control of it they have easy access to Middenheim."

Messenger: " To tell you the truth sir at this moment we are very open to attack and......"

Captain Wellsbourgh: " Shush! I will have none of it. As long as my men and I are guarding this bridge it shall not fall."

Captain Wellsbourgh: " You are dismissed! Bridge keeper I am going to sleep. As usual alert me if anything happens."

Bridge keeper: " Oh, yes sir. "

45 minutes later.......

The bridge keeper strains his eyes to see in the darkness night brings. Then in the corner of his pupil he sees movement near the front of the bridge. He believes it is nothing but send 15 guards to go check it out.


Skaven: " Yes take the bait man-things. With their focus at the front of the bridge it shall be simple for the triad to slip onto the back side without notice" snarls Skolff.

The troops went to the front of the bridge and what do they see, absolutely nothing. They were there but now are gone in the pitch murk of night. They being the night runners set up as a diversion to allow the triad to skulk on to the bridge unseen by the inept man peasants.

The triad lurked on to the bridge viewing their first target, a stumpy bald guard. The first assasin sneered at the other two. " I got it. " He leapt off the ground almost hurling himself at the dumbfounded guard. He put one hand over the guards mouth and slid his rusty dagger firmly into the guards chest. He pulls the dagger out breathing down the mans neck and releases him from his peltry grip.

They continue on their mission steadily dropping men after men until they finally reach the bridge keeper. The veteran assasin
vaulted at him, composed, but lethal. He grabbed him by the shoulder and shoved his stiletto into the mans neck. Silence until it reached the voicebox where a high pitch squeaking sound comes from the keepers lungs.

" Dammit " growls the experienced assasin. " Back to the tunnel they have heard us. "


Empire: Wellsbourgh: (Abruptly woken up from his sleep)

" What the h*ll is going on. Ring the bells. Alert the Ostlanders. This bridge will stand as long as I am here. "

Bells ring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skaven:

As the triad was descending into the tunnel they saw a swarm of Ostlanders by the hundreds coming towards the bridge.

" Damn " the Deathmaster shreeks " Retrea......................... "

Then the Deathmaster sees something he can use to his advantage.Something glorious. He sees a massive chaos army of Slaanesh.

Skolff: Yesss..... this must be Strykaars army. I have heard of them and some of thier great feats. We can definitely use this. Yeesssss........

He heads into the tunnel and scurries under the bridge.


Empire: Wellsbourgh and Ostlander captain conversate.

Wellsbourgh: Finally! Reinforcements....... I am not sure where the rat things went but we got a wayb bigger problem on our hands. Look through my scope at the front of the bridge.

Ostlander Captain: Oh! Oh no! God help us!

Ostlander Captain: Faints.

Wellsbourgh: Well lets go men, everyone able to attack march!

The men are full of fear but listen to the captain knowing it is for the good of middenheim.


Skaven; Triad and Skolff meet under the tunnel.

Skolff: Chaos is here and knowing the foolish man-things they will focus all their attention on them. This will allow us to go back and sneak up behind them Yeeeesssss......Yeeeesssss.....

After all the Ostlander are on the bridge the skaven go forwards with thier plans and get ready to rear the forces of good.


The battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The men follow the captain, their fate looking grim. The army they threw together is pretty impressive considering how much time they had to gather thier men. But although thier army was off decent size the followers of Slaanesh thought it was a joke vastly outnumbering them 3 to 1.

" Rally the hellblasters " shouted the Captain.

As he said this the line opened up and four hellblasters were pushed to the front of the bridge.

Strykaar: Ah! Impressive for a bunch of feeble humans. Too bad my numbers are far to great for these machines to put a dent in our massive army of darkness. Warriors attaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just as he yelled that phrase a unit of confident warriors stepped up and advanced to the empires lines.

Wellsbourgh: Fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hellblasters fired, completely destroying the first unit of warriors.

Strykaar: Dammit! Warriors advance!

Another unit advances. A bit less confident then the last.

Wellsbourgh: Fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again the hellblasters roar. The unit is completely destroyed.

Strykaar: (angry and frustrated) yells Bring the knights to the front of the line.

Out of know where appears 16 heavily armored, gold encrusted, highly superiour, Chosen Chaos Knights. Advancing to the hellblasters fearlessly.

Wellsbourgh: Fa..fa..fire the artillery.

The hellblasters fired. This time something went wrong! The farthest left hellblaster blew a gasket and exploded in a cloud of smoke and fire.

The other three fired with less success. Numerous bullets hit the knights but they firmly held thier shields in place and only 2 bullets were able to pierce through the knights armour.

The knights continued with the momentum of a freight train, they quickly dispatch the hellblaster crew and continue on to the battleline lance at hand and a burning passion of hate in their eyes.

Strykaar: Advance!!!!!!!!!

The knights smashed into the first line of warriors and bulldozed through rank after rank of troops.

Within seconds Strykaar and his blood thirsty warriors had reached the severely damaged lines. The aggressors swung and the lightly armored men and quickly crunched bone after bone. Until, Strykaar's malice eyes locked on the leader of the humans army, Captain Wellsbourgh.

The captain stumbled back terrified. He clumsily drew his sword as Strykaar bolly walked towards him. Stride after stride the captain heart thumping. Then he lifts his sword high above his head and swings down with incredible potency on the petrified man. Wellsbough barely gets his shield their in time, but as the sword comes into contact with it the shield shatters and the man is left standing their defenseless. Wellsbourgh then as a last resort takes a swing at the Chaos champion. Strykaar does not even bother blocking the blow instead he swiftly swings his sword with unbelievable momentum and lands it on the captains shoulder. First it penetrates through the captains shoulder plate then the leather, next the flesh until it finally explodes on to the shoulder blade shattering it completely.

The man shrieks in unbearable pain he then stumbles back yelling for his men to retreat.


Skaven:

Skolff: Yeesss.... Yeesss..... With the man-things retreating all we have to do is stop them from destroying the bridge.

Men start running from the unstoppable army of chaos.


KABOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whole bridge starts trembling.

Skolff: What was that !!!

Veteran Assasin: An explosion of some sort master.

Skolff: Follow me!

The triad followed the deathmaster around the bridge until Skolff took a look under the bridge and saw a small arsenal.

By it he saw an engineer right near the damaged loadbearing pillar of the bridge. He stood their attempting to figure out what exactly the engineer was doing. When he saw a a large bag of gun powder. His eyes quickly shifted back to the engineer once again. In his hand was a fuse and a match.

AHH! Skolff jumped down from the bridgetop and quickly snatched a throwing star. He hastily threw it towards the balding man. It spun through the air and slashed him in the neck. He fell to the ground but wait.....................It was too late. He had lit the fuse.

Skolff knew it was impossible to make it to the fuse in time. He wasn't sure what to do. There was a million thoughts going through his head. Then he did the most skavenish thing possible. He grabbed two of the triad mambers by the neck and hurled them firmly on top of the explosive.

Boooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Explosive goes off!

The two triad members were completely disintegrated but Yessss!!!!!!!!!! the bridge holds. The triad members took enough of the blow!

Skolff and the remaining triad member came back up on top of the bridge. What did they see?

VICTORY!!!!!!

The Ostlanders that were left had all fled. Strykaar and Skolff saw eachother from about 20 yards away. They nodded in congratulations at eachother. Then him and the triad member headed back into the tunnel.

Skolff talking to triad member:

Skolff: Your the lucky one!




Yeah this is how I think the battle of Struhelspan should go. What did you of it?
