Setup for Scenario 3A

Explosions rock the city and several buildings in the outer districts tumble under the ensuing tremors, but due to the decisive action of the defending commanders the vast majority of the city still stands and the attackers are being driven back, pursued hotly by the forces of good. In their haste the would be sappers swarm over the walls and flee back behind their own battle lines beyond the East Gate. Their flight causes mass confusion among their allies battering at the city’s outer defenses and in the disarray the army breaks and flees before the defender’s assault until the evil commanders are able to whip some semblance of order into the ranks and rally what forces they can to mount a counterattack against the now exposed forces of good who stand without their walls.

In their excitement these warriors of Light have pursued the enemy beyond the safety of their walls and are forced to hastily erect battle lines in preparation of the anticipated assault coming from the enemy who has already begun mobilizing for a renewed assault. They are too far outside of the defenses to be able to retreat in time and so they form a hasty plan. Taking the remaining explosive devices, both sides combine them to make the power of these strange creations tenfold. With evil reinforcements imminent the good commanders know that they have a limited window to inflict the greatest amount of damage within the ranks of their enemy possible and so they charge forward to plant the devices on the enemy soil. Hoping to detonate them under the feet of the advancing enemy troops.

The forces of evil, seeing the augmented devices being carried towards them, hastily augment their own remaining devices and mirror the good commanders’ stratagem. The two armies charge towards one another, screaming their war cries and trying desperately not to let the devices fall from their sweating hands.
