The Siege of Vicevises (Part 1)
Date Unknown
The troll fortress had been nearly emptied of all its strength in preparation for the dwarven attack; of which they had been aware of weeks beforehand. They were as cunning as they were brutish in attaining their information, but no amount of clairvoyance could have prepared them for the wrath that would march upon their doorstep. The vast numbers of the troll army outnumbered them sevenfold, and more so in weight, but the strength of the dwarven race could not be counted in numbers. The trolls stood their ground and shouted “Death!”, but it was the dwarves who would remain standing.
Hundreds of iron clad, bloodthirsty trolls stood between the dwarven armies and the troll fortress of Vicevises. A minor obstacle by Lanternweb standards, but it took some motivation by Sosadcerol Captain Kel Raceship to rally up her followers. Together with the Grand Army they charged fearlessly towards the front lines of the trollish forces and clashed with the scraping of metal and cries of war. Not for over a hundred years has a battle of this size taken place, but looking at the organization and determination of the dwarves you would think that they were veterans of the sort. Lines upon lines of trolls fell as the dwarves advanced, laughing and singing as they slew. In the midst of the battle a group of dwarves could be seen slaughtering with purpose as they plowed a path through the masses towards the entrance pit of the fortress. Their business was with Vicevises.
The three captains of Sosadcerol: Kel, Muthkat, Atir were among the group with eight of their warriors. Rashvir of Nilarzes and Kib of Lanternwebs with her squad of five were there. Flint, the commander of the Grand Army itself was there also with his most trusted and loyal warriors. Pushing and hacking a way through the masses of trolls they had ventured down into a familiar looking pit, the entrance to the fortress. The rear guard of the troll army was too concerned with the ever-nearing dwarves that they were able to slip in unnoticed, not that they were worried about getting caught. They found a ramp there that led down into the trolls home and together charged blindly into the darkness.
