Swiftly the Marauders withdraw from battle and begin to regroup. Another, different, horn blows. The Verminasian soldiers quickly retreat to the gates. As the first battalion hits the opening, hot oil splashes down, halting their withdrawal. Flaming arrows infiltrates their numbers. The screams are awesome as the men burst into flames and die an agonizing death. Being a smaller group than when this war started, the fires die more rapidly. The rest of the Verminasian army bursts through the smoldering bodies and head for home at full gallop. As soon as they rush out the busted gates of Arkane, an explosion goes off. Under their feet the ground had been saturated with oil. It bursts into yet another wall of flame. Many more soldiers fall to the marauders clever use of fire and oil. Still, they push on. Weakened and tired, they push onward, seeking their home and safety. No player deaths were encountered this day. The war in Arkane is OVER. Marauders hold the city. |
