Carnatium

The Triple Alliance strikes Carntium itself.  It's Kul, Kris, and Khaleb, working together without the benefit of an acronym.  Kul brings 360HD of attackers, Kris brings 380HD, and Khaleb brings 470HD, putting them well over the 1,000HD required to crack the walls of the mighty city.  

Kris and Kul get seven dice on the attack table, and Khaleb earns nine:

• Kul: Loses 130HD of orcs but wins 1,600gp and adds 90HD of human slaves to his larder
• Kris:  Loses 140HD of attackers, but 20HD of those are mere goblins.  He manages to pull 1,200gp and 130HD of human slaves out of the city
• Khaleb: The big winner only loses 90HD of orcs in exhange for 3,100gp and 40HD of human slaves

This also means that the suburbs are empty and no further raids can occur in the human quarters.  Since this is the last day of the fight

BUT!  So pleased is the Dread Lord to see his boys effectively assault a fortified human city, each of the attackers scores 5 bonus points!

Kor Torrigan Raids

Kor Torrigan gets hit from three directions!  

[Note that Sivor's forces count as two separate raids.  The dwarven mountain is not an open hex, but one that forces have to leave by the hex they entered.  It is a warren of tunnels, and Sivor's forces cannot make contact or co-ordinate their attacks.]

Garek hits the place with 420HD worth of troops, and Sivor launches two raids - his warg riders from the south with 60HD and he hits them from the southwest with 90HD.

But the dwarves only have so much gold left to loot.  The warg riders have to ride two days to reach the place, so they will be the last to raid the mountain, if anything is left.  Which leaves us with a simple initiative roll to determine which of the other two forces gets first crack at the dwarves.  Sivor wins the roll and cracks a vault containing with 900gp, losing 10HD worth of orcs to dwarven stone traps.

Garek's forces enter the near-empty mountain and to resolve this dice are rolled one at a time until all the gold is gone.  His troops manage to scrounge 500gp without loss of life, and the mountain has been cleared of dwarves.  As the chief responsible for the final clearing of the mountainhome, Garek scores three bonus points!

The warg riders show up expecting to raid, and instead find a massive celebration going on in the Dwarven King's hall, with the forces of Sivor and Garek sharing a feast to end the year.

The Dread Lord breathes a sigh of relief, as that festering pustule of Law will trouble him no more.
