This time it's me as the goblins and Adam as Aragorn. I'm sure you will enjoy this one!
Turn 1
Aragorn, hunting in the wild, spots a small group of goblins charging towards him. As soon as he spots them, an arrow grazes his arm. This is going to be a tough charge through and Aragorn would be lucky to get out of there alive. He begins his long trek through hostile territory.
Turn 2
The goblins fire four more shots at the ranger, hitting him twice. From what the goblins could see, no arrows were penetrating the machine that is the heir of Isildur. Aragorn draws his bow and sends an arrow straight back at his attackers, bouncing straight off one of the goblins helmets. Frustrated, he continues on. Meanwhile, the snarling goblins form up in the middle of the battlefield, with the archers ready in waiting.
Turn 3
The goblins charge in and swarm the lone Dúnedain. The goblin archers cant seem to get a clear shot (Editors note: remember, we haven't learned the rules for evil shooting into combat yet). Read and prepared for anything, Strider charges straight into the goblin horde. Hacking and slashing at the goblins, none of his attacks manage to connect. The goblins soldiers surround him, ready to pounce.
Turn 4
They all raise their swords at once and bring them down on his head. Aragorn, surrounded, raises his sword to counter the fell goblins. Unfortunately, two goblins sneak behind him and stick two rusting daggers into his back. Aragorn collapses and screams out in pain, the Ring of Barahir slipping off his finger. Bloodied and tired, hope seems lost.
Turn 5
Strider stands up, picks up his sword from the ground and looks each goblin in the eye. He swings his sword right around his head, chopping off three goblin heads in a row. The others manage to duck or dodge out of the way. They can see the rage in his eyes, the passion of his attacks and the sweat of his brow. perhaps there is hope still.
Turn 6
The goblins retaliate and swing their swords back at him, but the the heir of Gondor blocks their attacks with ease. Angry, he stabs the nearest goblin in the chest, grabs the goblins spear and pierces it through another goblin. With the goblin ranks thinning, they raise their shields and spears and prepare for the wrath of the Dúnedain.
Turn 7
The goblins are in fear of their lives.Kick! Stab! Slice! Down goes another three goblins (rolling three 6's, I might add). In the attempt to leave with his life, he has surprisingly succeeded. Little did he know, the goblin archers like in wait...
Turn 8
Aragorn turns on his heel and escapes fro the goblin archers. Arrows whiz past him, one grazing his thigh. With all the might he can muster, he contines on.
Turn 9
He didn't think he could do it, but Aragorn, heir of Isildur, escaped from the evil of the goblins. However, the goblins have manages to seriously wound one of the north's rangers for a while and their hordes may have their chance to move further south, maybe even to the borders of Buckland. Strider will definitely need aid before he goes scouting the plains of Eriador, but at least he escaped with his life. This deserves a drink at The Prancing Pony.
Verdict: Evil minor win
Adam thoughts: 'I seriously thought I was in trouble there, but with a few lucky dice rolls, Aragorn sliced and diced his way to victory. Oh wait, I lost!'
Aaron thoughts: 'I should never have had those archers so far away from the fight. They could have charged in and maybe killed Strider. Still, I did win, but I could have definitely done better. Very fun game though'.
Well I hope you liked the opposite side to the previous battle report. Tune in for more updates soon!
