| *Thorgar lets out a long breath.* "To the slaughter then. Save your warcries until we reach the walls. Their fear will be sweeter tasted up close." *With that, he gestures forwards, and the warriors gathered around him begin to move.* | |

| *There are around 200 fully fledged warriors fighting alongside thorgar. The four warriors of the gods, each champions in their own right form the front rank with thorgar, and by her association with vorstan, so does Rosa. Behind them another 300 sea raiders, equipped much like thorgar, follow.* | |

| How many beastmen you ask? Too many to count. Dwarfing the chaos warriors forces. They are surprisingly well organised too, the first line consisting of nothing but ungor spearmen with shields, followed by a wall of gors, followed again by well placed units of bestigors | |

| *as they cross over from fields into the outlying settlement, before the walls. A cry goes up.*
"RAIDERS! BEASTMEN!"
*But by this point they are barely a minute from reaching the gates. The slaaneshi warrior keeping pace with the gors sheaths their blades, then leaps onto a man holding a pitchfork. Gracefully sailing over his head upside down, the slaaneshi warrior grabs his neck, and snaps it.* | |

| hearing this, the beastlord sounds his brayhorn. In every herd in the great horde, at least one gor, ungor, or bestigor takes up the call, in turn blowing into their brayhorn. the very earth trembles at the sound, such is its volume. As if signalled by this, a second wave, this time of javelin bearing Centirgors, emerge from the treeline at full speed, catching up with the first wave very fast. The ungors reach the walls, but are unable to do more than act as chaff for the gors behind them, who are the actual ladder bearers. While any defenders who have been alerted's shots are soaked up by the wall of ungors, the Gors' ladders rise against the walls, with not one stretch of this side of the walls being without a herd of ungors now scaling it. Meanwhile, the minotaurs, lead by the doombull who challenged Thorgar before, reach the gate, their sheer impact almost tearing the gate off of its hinges | |

| *The slaaneshi, swords still sheated, climbs up the walls with no need for a ladder, simply clambering up.*
*Thorgar yells at the top of his lungs, impressively loudly.* "KILL ONLY THOSE WHO FIGHT!" | |

| they do precisely dick as they either bounce off of his thick armour, of are but a pin-prick against the mountain of muscle beneath. All they're doing is making him angrier. The parts of the wall holding the gate's hinges are starting to crack. Seeing his oppertunity, the doombull drops his weapon, and grabs a hold of the gate, tearing it off of its hinges, exposing the defenders behind, who he then throws the door at | |

| the minotaurs thunder through the gateway, into the town, smashing, killing, trampling as they go, in an almost khornate blood-rage. Moments after the gate falls, the beastlord and his closest bestigors' chariots reach the gateway. They disembark and charge in after the minotaurs. | |

| The city offers little resistance... save for, one place. At its church, four knights and a priestess have rallied what remains of the town guard, and any civilians brave enough to stand by them. They're holding off the beast horde.* | |

| A lone beastmen approaches the front of the horde, taller than any save some of the bestigors, his body covered by a hooded cloak, save his large horns, a large staff in hand, ornate by beastmen standards. He mutters some words in the beastmen tongue and casts his hand in the direction of the defenders. Moments later, the sky darkens as a horde of angry flesh eating carrion birds descends on the knights and guard, clawing at skin, pecking at eyes, swarming all over them | |

| The bray-shamen grins under his hood and points a finger directly at the priestess. Mumbling another spell, an amber spear leaps forth from his finger, aimed squarely at the damsel, specifically one of her legs. | |

| *a gust of wind pushes the spear slightly off course, striking the cold stone beside her. Her robe flutters in the wind*Â
*Thorgar and vorstan arrive. Their other compatriots having long since departed out into the city. Heigens bloodlust, and Gorum's kindness... of a sort, cannot be denied. And the slaaneshi. the less said the better. I assume rosa remains with them* | |

| she does. Covered in a lot of blood from those she's killed. The beastlord is also there, fighting against the knights. The shamen mutters some more words and raises his hands, as if pulling upwards. Great roots burst forth from beneath the stonework of the city street, like the tendrils of some great chaos beast, and begin attacking the defenders including the preistess | |

Thorgar: "Impressive magic..."Â

| *the damage done to the roots is surprisingly little anyway, as they are afterall, grounded. Another two tendrils of roots sprout from the ground and go for the priestess. They grab her, constricting around her like great serpents, hurting and restraining her, but not killing her* | |
