The Amulet of Sorbrowane Campaign: THE END!

After the bloodbath in the Temple of Azazael, Misan and Venna tried to find help. Fortunately a Brethren picket crossed their road (4 Praetorians and a brother sergeant, 6 heavy spearmen, 4 fusiliers).

Brethren Praetorians

They went back to the Temple of Azazael (now empty) and through the Mirror to the Amulet in Dark Elf (Dirz) territory. They are the true robbers of the Amulet, traitor Wolfens were plainly their agents.

The forces of the Light are advancing...

After revealing a PEF, Venna charges...

A Dasyatis Prime guards the Amulet!

Misan is its next target!

With the Dasyatis butchering Misan, two Praetorian take the Amulet...

... and flee!

But the Dasyatis isn't far behind...

Venna, who was the only survivor of the Amulet's theft, sacrifices herself to buy time for the Brethren.

Venna is killed but the two last Brethrens managed to flee. The Amulet is safe. The Forces of Light have prevailed!!!!!!!!

As usual, the miniatures are from Rackham. It's the end of a campaign started in April 2011. 
At last.

The Temple of Azazael (Dungeon Crawling with WH:AA)

In the previous installment, the robbers of the Amulet of Sorbrowane managed to flee. Kalil and Agonn mustered their remaining soldiers.

Misan, the Mage, suggested to catch back the thieves through the Mirror (a magical gate), hidden deep into the Temple of Azazael.

Since Warrior Heroes: Armies and Adventures has great rules of dungeon crawling, we decided to give it a try.

Here is the map and the monsters (all the stats are in the rules) behind the doors... :)

Behind the door, the great temple (room E) full of orcs and trolls

Trolls attack!

The orcs are behind.

They were destroyed.

The Temple of Azazael is at the bottom right (room J) 

Two ogres protect the Temple

Arin and Kalil are killed!

Venna managed to kill the Orc Shaman.

She charged the last ogre...

... and killed him.

Misan and Venna are the only survivors. They need to find help...

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.
