[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 6588864, member: 83398"] [b]Army of Darkness[/b] IronPeak had been warned that the dragon tyrant Cheshimox had controlled this area many centuries ago. He had brought over a glacier from Drakr and enchanted the desert to support his preferred habitat. When the local lizardfolk had proved themselves incompatible with the cold weather, Cheshimox killed them all and raised them as his undead followers. Though Cheshimox had died centuries ago, his followers carried on out of habit. With the undead army closing on their position, the constables gathered as many of the rail guards as they could and formed up a ragtag defensive line against their advance. James, Summer, and Xambria crafted an Undead Ward ritual for their “soldiers” to line up behind. Cazara sent Xambria to ritually reinforce the rails against sabotage while everyone was distracted by this strange attack. Alienor lined up shot after shot with her long-range rifled musket with its telescopic sight, but it seemed that more than half of the enemies that she shot just got back up again. She retreated to the battle line and waited for the approach. Through her “scope” she had seen that they were mostly undead lizardfolk who seemed to be led by a foursome of lizardfolk priests riding a sled made from a massive dragon skull, The sled itself was drawn by ghostly beasts and was projecting an icy environment around itself, ensuring that its runners always had snow or ice to run on. The constables struggled to keep their guard in order as the undead approached. Alienor opened up the fighting with some explosive shells from her rifle. Entire squads of zombified lizardfolk fell under her fire, but then just pulled themselves back together and kept on marching. The lizard priests led the way, blasting the constables’ battle line with icy breath from the dragon skull, dropping dozens of guards at once. Summer, James, and Colleen all set to healing those who could be helped. The priests’ own attack spells dispersed harmlessly at the barrier James and the others had crafted. One of them decided Alienor was too much of a problem and closed her off behind a forty-foot-tall wall of ice. A pair of shadowy assassins fell on the healers, somehow having gotten behind the rail guards’ battle line. They managed to keep most of the constables and rail guard occupied long enough for the rest of the undead army to cross the distance to the ward. James warned that — since the skull of the dragon could shoot through the ward — if the sled broke the line, the entire spell would probably be broken. The troops would be well advised to engage the undead before that happened. And so Colleen and IronPeak led their troops into the enemy formations. IronPeak manifested artillery shells from out of nowhere, blasting the lizardzombies to pieces. Alienor managed to phase through her icy prison and continued to hold down an entire flank by herself with exploding bullets. The sled went out of control and ended up blasting its own troops instead of the rail guards. After that, there was just a little bit of mopping up to do. The Keepers of Cheshimox had gone on one final, glorious ride to honor their fallen dragon lord, and in the end they were destroyed. As the constables and their guards cleaned up the battlefield, they could not shake the feeling that the Keepers of Cheshimox were happy with this result. [/QUOTE]
