The Jenn-Kellon army entered the dark, stinking northwestern troll lands. There had been several outposts and homesteads in the area which had suffered raids. More recently a fortress under construction by Libilian Outlaws had been sighted by several scouts deep within the forests. Any BlackLight stronghold so close to WhiteLight lands could not be allowed. In addition existing in that earthly crucible would soon forge them into an even more terrible weapon.
As the army marched approached, they were soon seen by a lone scout. The WL army, realizing the time and place of the attack had been revealed, decided to began preparing siege equipment immediately.
There were far more defenders present then was expected, apparently they had been preparing even before sighting the attacking army. The determined attack force set up camp near the deed, right outside a large earthwork wall. Unknowing of the more weakly fortified eastern side.
An encampment and mine were quickly set up before the forces of LO came out with many zombie trolls to meet the attackers. Constant clashes occured around the area of the siege encampment. The defenders, while taking some losses, were unable to completely prevent the breaching attempts on the town's incomplete outer defenses.
A section of the earthworks was breached in approximately an hour, and catapult strikes were being directed at the inner stone walls. The attackers started to directly engage the town guards; however, constant pressure from defenders in the breach - despite heavy losses - forced the attacks back.
Constant counter-attacks and word of fresh reinforcements from other BlackLight towns, convinced the attackers to regroup and withdraw. However, in a final savage push BLers surrounded the siege encampment, using zombie trolls and mauls to break in. The WL army grabbed what loot was at hand and fled.
The majority of the raidforce was able to make it to an outpost; however, several warriors fell behind and were slaughtered with no attempt made to aid them...
Since that fateful day the northwestern lands have fallen more and more under the taint of the Goddess Libila. Though efforts continue in order to drive her minions out, they only seem to become stronger.
