Battle Outcomes

Battle of the Arbelving Wood (027,011)

Force 1: The Hand of Law: 1 Company of 120 Heavy Infantry A (mace, shield, banded), led by a 5th Level Human Cleric, 1/2 Company of 60 Heavy Infantry A (mace, shield, banded), led by a 5th Level Human Cleric

• BR: 3
• Commander: STR: 12 INT: 11 WIS: 15 DEX: 16 CON: 13 CHA: 15 (+2) | LA 7 SA 1 MM +2

Force 2: 2 companies of 120 Lizardmen Light Infantry each, (5 darts, spiked club, shield), each commanded by a 6 HD chieftain, 1 Basilisk

• BR: 9.6
• Commander: 6 HD Lizardman Chieftain | LA 5 SA 0 MM +2

Due to the heavy rain, both armies catch each other by surprise in the woods. There are no advantages for either side.

Round 1: The battle beneath the trees is swift and deadly, the Clerics bogged down as they are in their heavy armor are no match for the Lizardmen, who swarm over them. The commander of the doomed Hand of Law cuts his way forward, heroically slaying the Basilisk as its gaze turns him to stone.

Outcome: Victory for the Armies of Immianthe. Casualties: 90 human Heavy Infantry killed, 90 human Heavy infantry taken prisoner. 1 Basilisk killed.
