And so it happened that upon the fourteenth day of Burnfuel the scum and deviants of the hive had the effrontery of raising up against their rightful masters, the flames of insurrection leapt from dome to dome and lifelong enemies found themselves shoulder to shoulder fighting for their lives against the tides of madness. Klovis and I led one such defence, entrenched in the Peak Inn drinking den
As the undeserving eschers manned one side of the barricade we stood stoically on the southern wall
I encouraged some of our fighters, who formed a reserve inside the bar
First in the ramparts, the Redeemer rallied his men in the line of fire
Zombies, mutants and scalies emerged from the benighted depths of the underworld
Such blasphemy in the eyes of the Emperor had to be purged!
Air headed as they where the eschers advanced into the foe over the barricades
Fire from our lines cut down some deviants
The idiotic eschers soon paid for their foolishness
Flames leapt from the mutant lines, engulfing the ranks of the faithful
Wise Klovis sounded the recall, we would meet the scum in our terms inside the bar
Then the tide of sin reached the dike of our crusade
Causing some loss
The reckless coin guild was cut down in pieces
Bounty hunter Alpha launched herself selflessly against the foe to win us some time
Fruitlessly the scatily clad harridans tried to stem the zombie horde
We crowded into the bar, safe for now from the predations of the heretics
Our other merc, Cyborgette, stood valiantly on the barricade to cover our retreat
Alpha kept slicing mutants with acrobatic grace
Zombies and mutants fell upon Cyborgette who stood her ground and took some down with her
Brave Deza was caught by a repugnant twist
But the harlots also paid a price in blood
Raising again as plague zombies!
The last eschers where rounded up and taken out of action
The wounded dragged slowly towards the bar
We had to watch as they where cut down by the onrushing tide, truly they proved to be too weak to merit the Emperor's munificence and so had to pay for their weakness
Even the escher leader was bitten by the undead
Turning into a shambling automaton
The repulsive deviants charged the door, but we met them with a fusillade fo fire that sent them tumbling to the ground
Klovis himself despatched one with his shotgun
Standing to the last Cyborgette was finally brought down by the massed foe, but with her last breath she prevented the enemy flamers from firing into the bar, earning her an eternal place in the annals of the true faith
Incredibly enough Alpha was still alive and kicking, standing proudly over a sea of enemies
As the enforcer counterattack blazed from the gates of the dome and routed the cowardly degenerates we took stock: many of the faith and even more godless eschers had been killed and injuried, but we had weathered the storm of aberrant hate and endured the heretic onslaught thanks to our faith in the Emperor!
Une bien belle bataille!
