As the two forces drew closer, the Trolls were intimidated by the organized Elven force
that lowered the Troll fighting ability before the battle. As the attack placed the groups
face to face, the Elven leaders bolstered their troops against the lumbering Trolls which
raised the Elven fighting ability before the battle. Just before dawn the Troll division
advanced upon the Elven small army commanded by Marshal Grisizan. Among the Troll troops
were brigades of Orcs, which now leaped ahead to the first ranks! Knowing that their ruler
had declared the Elven to be hostile to their nation, the Troll troops were noticably
energized and had their morale raised as they prepared to meet their declared enemy! Due
to the fact that their nation has made the Troll known as hostile to their kingdom, the
Elven troops were invigorated and had their morale raised as they prepared to meet their
declared enemy! As the most significant group of their history, the troops are visibly
emboldened by being under the first Elven colors!

As the attackers advanced through the forest the first missiles sang out. The Troll
skilled archers inflicted little or no damage to their opponents lines. The Elven skilled
archers inflicted minor damage to their opponents lines.

The Troll wizard Annatar dismounted past the defensive misslers on the battlefield. The
Troll Annatar (Adept) was not a factor in the battle. The Elven wizards Swagmore and
Farview dismounted past the defensive misslers on the battlefield. The Elven Power-3
wizard Swagmore cast a series of minor assaults: some lighting, fire, and sonic blasts
which disrupted the opposing troops. The Elven Power-3 wizard Swagmore threw back his hood
and gestured in an animated fashion. While invisible, his sorcery sent lethal sonic blasts
directly into enemy formations with impressive effect. The Elven Farview (Power-1) was not
a factor in the battle. To the satisfaction of their foes, the trolls seemed greater
affected by the magical attacks cast against them than was expected. The Troll enlightened
mages dealt out little or no damage to their foes as the Elven emphatic mages caused light
losses to the Troll ranks.
- Cavalry -
Bolting ahead to meet the cavalry of their foes were the Troll force and the Elven
cavalry. The Troll cavalry dealt out little or no damage to the Elven lines. As the Elven
cavalry imposed light damage to the Troll ranks.
- Conclusion -
Troll casualties had now exceeded acceptable levels in the judgement of General Fineghal
so he ordered the retreat be sounded. The Troll leaders did a remarkable job in exiting
the field with minimal additional casualties. Troll casualties were put at 61%. Troll
leader General Lambda was slain in battle. Troll Adept Annatar was slain in battle. Losses
suffered in the effort and depression of defeat have greatly reduced the Troll morale.
Elven casualties were put at 0%. All Elven leaders survived the battle. All the Elven
wizards survived the fray. The indisputable nature of the Elven force's victory has
greatly increased morale.

At the first light of dawn, the 1st Elven army group advanced with grim resolution toward
the defensive position of the 1st Witchlord full army led by General Prosperity. Among the
Witchlord troops were brigades of Skeletons and Monsters, which now raced to the front
lines! Being surprised by the sudden onset of battle, the defender's leaders were
unorganized in issuing orders and the troops were greatly demoralized that diminished
their defensive capabilities. Knowing that their liege had declared the Witchlord to be an
enemy of their nation, the Elven forces were noticably energized and benefited from
increased morale as they prepared to fight their declared enemy! Aware of the political
situation that had declared the Elven to be treated as an enemy of their nation, the
Witchlord troops were clearly anxious for battle and had their morale raised as they
prepared to battle their declared enemy! As the most important group of their people, the
troops are visibly heartened by the presence of the first Elven's banner! As the most
significant group of their kingdom, the forces are clearly emboldened by being under the
first Witchlord's colors! As the attackers advanced through the dense forest, the first
missles sang out.
- Archers -
The Elven deadly accurate longbowmen and the black-hooded bowmen of the Witchlord force
initiated their attack. The Elven lines caused devastating losses upon the Witchlord
forces in response, the Witchlord dealt out light damage to their enemy.
- Magic -
Elven wizards dismounted just beyond the range of defending bowmen and began an
incomprehensible incantation. Power-8 wizard Elude incanted in a low forceful tone, in
rapid succession were cast many minor phantasms and magical bolts into the heart of the
enemy force. Power-6 wizard Illumemont slowly spoke in an arcane language, gestures
building to a crescendo, in rapid succession were cast many killing illusions and waves of
deadly cold into the ranks of the enemy. Power-4 wizard Moonshade glowered intently and
issued indecipherable utterances, in rapid succession were cast many minor phantasms and
magical bolts into the ranks of the enemy. Power-4 wizard Moonshade incanted in a low
forceful tone. His magic caused illusionary sounds and sights to confuse his foes and
confound their commanders: Chaos reigned and they will be forced to fight longer than they
otherwise anticipated. Witchlord wizards dismounted just past where the defensive missles
were falling and began an animated spell. Power-7 wizard Aquilius while seemingly detached
from all else, seemed to draw within himself and began to incant, with chilling ease he
fired many volleys of minor phantasms and magical bolts into the ranks of the enemy. The
Witchlord Gor (Power-1) was not a factor in the battle. The Witchlord Lujka (Power-1) was
not a factor in the battle. The Elven forces inflicted appreciable casualties upon the
Witchlord ranks as the Witchlord claimed minor losses to their enemy.
- Cavalry -
Bolting ahead to meet the cavalry of their foes were both the Elven horsemen and the
Witchlord horsemen. The Elven lines inflicted heavy losses upon the Witchlord lines while
the Witchlord dealt out minor casualties to their foes.
- Conclusion -
At this moment in the struggle, losses suffered by the 1st Witchlord had gone beyond the
original threshold planned. As a withdrawal was attempted, the field commanders of the 1st
Witchlord assigned the duties of relaying withdrawal commands were dismayed as the effects
of the enemy's mesmerizing magic prevented their comrades from retreating as ordered. To
their credit, the 1st Witchlord forces continued to fight as trained. Sadly, as the omens
of the day foretold, the Witchlord group could not extricate themselves from the dire
moment: they were destroyed. Witchlord casualties were put at 100%. The group was
destroyed! Elven casualties were put at 2%. All Elven leaders survived the battle. All the
Elven wizards survived the fray. The troops are eager for further glory: morale is up! For
defeating the 1st Witchlord, the 1st Elven has acquired Palantir Ambalar as spoils of war!
