Battle:Elf-Frost Giant Alliance Strike the Drow

From HollowWiki

Part of the Surface Tension Arc


Frostmaw has allied itself with the elves, and they march to war! Hildegarde's plan is to send the bulk of the giant army to attack the drow military camp in Southern Sage and distract them and she, Emrith, and a small group of Quelodian centaurs and Northern Kuronii tribesman will infiltrate the Underdark from the tunnel near Vailkrin. To goal is to get stealth extraordinaire Emrith into the D'Artes compound to that he may rescue Skylei (who was captured by Laezila) and Maegus (who was captured by Rauva).

Gevurah's forces are weakened after Laezila recalled the second house's soldiers, crippling the drow army significantly, and the First Daughter herself has not yet fully recovered from a dangerous ritual.


Baraneth v. Lanlan

Baraneth marches with Frostmaw's army, consisting of mostly giants and elves and a few other allies. Lanlan is at the drow military camp, ready to align himself with the forces of evil.

Pinball Wizard

Baraneth wins, the giants break into the camp and drive the drow back underground + one auto hit against Lanlan. Lanlan wins, the drow successfully defend the camp, Frostmaw retreats to the woods in Larket, set up camp to regroup, + one auto hit against Baraneth.


Nymh v. Gevurah

Hildegarde booted Nymh to the back of her army, but the sly bard is determined to get personal pay back on Gevurah. He follows the army to Southern Sage, then makes a beeline for the First Daughter. He wants revenge, but so does she.

Revenge

Gevurah defeated Nymh on the battle field, then took him to Trist'oth to publicly execute him and show the drow what happens when you cross House D'Artes. [Link soon]


Hildegarde v. Zendor

During her stealthy infiltration of the Underdark, Hildegarde comes across her buddy Zendor in cahoots with D'Artes drow! What! Traitor! Emrith was right! TO ARMS!

Betrayed

Emrith v. Laezila

Emrith infiltrates the D'Artes compound only to find it's most recent guest still lurking its walls.

Fight Me Like You Do

Emrith proved the elves are second to no race, capturing Laezila while freeing Skylei and Maegus too.


Results

  • Drow Allies: 1
  • Surface Allies: 3


Consequences on story:

The Frostmaw-Sage Elf alliance succeeds in recapturing the drow camp and sending the dark elves scurrying back underground. Hildegarde, Emrith, and their special tactics force infiltrate Trist'oth and succeed in a brief invasion of Trist'oth fort, destroying a supply room and setting back the drow army's resources. Hildegarde also captures and executes the treacherous spy Zendor.

On the drow side, Gevurah's lone win in this brutal dayforthe drow comes in the form of Nymh, the defector, whom she publicly executes at long last.

Overall, an important victory for the elves.
