Never too much pirate music!
This time, Roth is searching the Corpse Reef for his scattered fleet. It becomes apparent that Arranessa Saltspite has landed on an island home to a Sylvanian Castle, probably hoping to steal some treasure. Unfortunately, she's now under attack from the undead denizens of the Citadel.
My mission was to use the Heldenhammer to breach the Citadel walls, allowing Arranessa to escape. Once completed, Aranessa had to escape the seascape in her Swordfysh. Unfortunately for me, both the Dreaded Reaver and the Curse of Zandri would be stalking me along the way.
I wasted no time in navigating the treacherous reef and dropped anchor near the Citadel. I brought the Heldenhammer's crushing Hammer of Sigmar down and...did nothing. The guards of the Citadel opened fire and caused a bit of damage to my flagship.
At the end of the third turn, both the Reaver and the Curse had arrived, and I was no closer to breaching the Citadel Walls. The Curse of Zandri shocked me with King Amhanotep's excellent command rating, managing to broadside the Heldenhammer swiftly, setting it ablaze with the light of Ptra.
Finally I used the Hammer of Sigmar to breach the walls and free Arranessa, who wasted no time getting back to the Swordfysh, unfortunately, a bad turn of fate produced a Bone Hydra and Lychworm to bar my path.
The Heldenhammer took an absolute beating. At one point, it was on fire, the rigging was ruined, the wheel stuck and only turning left, it was adrift, cursed by the undead manner, and had numerous crew and hull damage attached to it. Most of the damage was caused by the Zandri but as I attempted to escape jeopardy from the Lychworm, I overshot and ran aground, causing a pack of Bloodsharks to begin their attack. Fortunately though, Arranessa successfully destroyed the Bone Hydra, and on literally the last turn, managed to break free from the reef and escape! Victory for the alliance!
Next time, Dwarf vs Chaos dwarf (and a little bit of Arabyan Sorcerer) clash in a battle for barrels of grog! Yarrr!
