THE GAME...

We are near the Temple, hurry! 

A first PEF is resolved...

A Skull is no match for a Troll...

Battle for the Temple

Two new PEF are resolved...

The undead are legion

Fierce fights in the Temple

Bulg isn't  an easy opponent...

... But he was wounded

More thralls attack the Temple

Grishak has defeated a Skull

A few opponents left standing... 

VICTORY!

We have awakened the Guardian!

An opponent too powerful even for Bulg

While the Guardian devours Bulg, Grishak and Zorren flee with the Sceptre, abandoning their wounded. Grishak can now try to unite the orc tribes.

A fun solo WH:AA game... Thanks for reading.
