The sun was shining, the day was fine (with top temps around 15C) the baseplates
were green, it was a good day to be killin' stuff.
An army of five dragons was stretching and limbering up in preparation, led by
Trav the Viking, one of the most feared beserkers in the southlands. Three red
dragons and two green there were, Slag, Sludge, Snarl, Swoop and Smudge. Dragon
names feared the length of the Gryphon gallery.
On the other side looking quite puny in comparison, Samurai James had drawn up
his troops, archers and swordsmen took the field, and Bob. Bob the Ninja. (can
he kill it? yes he can!).The first thing that was obvious was that he would need
more men. Some reiforcements were quickly added to the table and the battle
could begin.
Nothing tempts a dragon more than a handy tower to climb and swoop down from.
Fortunatly this battlefield was well equiped in the tower department, providing
plenty of opportunity to get heigher up.
Swoop was the first up, eyeing up the calvalry coming around he jumped and
squashed two riders and James' hero sidekick who was leading the charge. First
blood to the vikings!
Bob, being rather startled at dragons dropping from the sky, promptly lept up
behind the viking who was riding Swoop and happily committed some Grand Theft
Dragon. Shoving him out of the shadow, and nicking his horned helmet (since
eveyone knows the purpose of vikings horned helmets is so they can control the
dragons... what? you didn't know that? You need to pay more attention in history
class!). But with a helmet on his head, Bob had to drop his Ninja hood, and so
lost his ablilty to be stealthy. The de-dragoned viking snaffled it and
disappeared in amongst the bamboo.
On the other side of the battlefield Slag and Sludge had rushed in and found
some archers to play with. Despite growing up on fairytales of dragons being
slain by a well placed arrow into a vulerable spot, these archers were too busy
wetting their pants to aim straight. One by one they were clawed, eaten, swatted
away, trod on, gouged and disembowled (that was just the M rated stuff that
happened... it got worse).
By this time Bob had guided Swoop over to the middle of the battlefield, facing
off against Snarl, but the promised dragonfight was not to be. Smudge had
climbed the same tower that Swoop had launched from earlier and and tripped,
falling off the tower onto Bob and the hapless Swoop. The dragons were entangled
and needless to say, rather upset. Being a kind-hearted kinda guy Samurai James
,who had climbed the tower behind Smudge swan dived from the top, elegantly
plunging his sword into Smudge and as he rolled off, shooting Swoop in the back
of the skull, humanely putting both of the dragons out of thier misery.
On the far side of the battlefield, some of the vikings on foot had squared off
with a squad of samurai.Being sporting and honourable fellows the samurai only
sent in five men. One viking each, there was no sense being uncivilised and
mobbing them. When the swords had finshed flashing there was one samurai killed,
one viking standing, and 12 bits of what used to be vikings lying around.
Finishing off the last viking, all the samurai had to do now was wait for the
axemen to wander up.
Snarl had climbed the small hill. Thinking to perform the same service for him
that he had for the others Samurai James went to run up Snarl's tail. Snarl
cheerfully flicked him across the battlefield, landing James in a hole and out
of the game.
Slag climbed the other tower looking down on some poor useless archers, but by
that time the axemen had arrived and were quickly dispatched. With that the game
ground to a halt, since everyone (except the dragons who had been snacking on
archers) was hungry. A quick survey of the battlefield proclaimed fun as the
winner, with the dragons a close second (the vikings and samurai tied in last
place).
Speaking of lunch, I'm off. But you can check out the pics (when moderated) at
