A new Grudge has been added to the book of Grudges.
The guild master of Karak Firestone, Elgret Hammerbreaker was cut down by elder Banshees!
It had been a few years since anybody had travelled the overland route to the old Gem mine. Elgret was accompanying Warlord Grothrem Mountainhank, to check the unused road was safe to use. It appeared that a forest and grown blocking the route. While exploring a route through, the small party was set upon by a superior force of elder and after a tough battle Elgret was cut down, in his prime, by a squad of screaming Banshees.
Also lost was a squad of warriors moving in advance of the main party who got isolated by the sneaky elder.
The elder used a lot of long ranged firepower after tricking our own heavy weapons squad in to getting lost in the woods and arriving late to the battle we had very little to reply with.
We struggled with the thick undergrowth of the forest, the warlord with his hearth guard only manged to get to the fight right at the end to show the power of our armour by shrugging off multiple meltgun hits
Also lost in the battle were a bike squad and two attack squads, who did do sterling work with their flame throwers in burning down some of the forest along with its pointy eared inhabitants.
An overflight by a gyrocopter managed to avoid the swooping hawks in the area to get some photos of the battle.
Also on another reccon flight they found an elder web portal which will be the objective in a future fight.
The forges are burning day and night getting ready to gather the elder blood needed to wash this grudge from the book
