This Sunday sees an scout force of Skaven crossing a hill to find...
The lead up to the battle is:
It was a bad day for H’Tick 4th Claw leader. He’d woken up to discover that his three brothers had survived the poison left for them and his gruel was cold... Slipping on his armour, H’Tick snuck out of the barracks and headed for his watch post thinking vicious thoughts to cheer himself up before taking his anger out on the squad assigned to him. As he crossed the rope bridge in the UnderHive, he noticed the squad was formed up with some-one walking about in front of them doing his job. With a squeal of rage at this possible takeover ploy, H’Tick dashed over the bridge and with claws draw he hissed up to the squad only to be met with a steely glare from the 3rd Claw Leader T’Crat.
As the Musk of Fear slid down H’Ticks tail, T’Crat bared his teeth and growled ‘Assume the position, you poor excuse for a Claw leader’ – ‘NOW’
H’Tick promptly fell on his back with throat bared and awaited his possible fate – could this be his last day in the UnderHive?
As the squad snickered, T’Crat give H’Tick a ritual nip and snarled for him to follow into the office block nearby. Casting a glare at the squad, H’Tick duly followed and awaited his fate.
Once in the office, T’Crat stated that he knew about the poison plot and had warned the brothers but did not tell them who planted it or why and as such H’Ticks life was his now and to start with T’Crat needed a little job doing without the other 3rd Claw Leaders knowing. ‘Given that the Flow is upon us and we need more space to grow the UnderHive, it is your job H’Tick to find me some of that space as soon as possible. You are to sneak out of the Hive, scout over the hill by food post #27 and report back what you find. Do not hunt for treasure or food, just get information and get back here as soon as possible’
Barley managing to keep the Musk of Fear in, H’Tick wondered where the trap was but the idea soon fell from his mind by the mention of treasure and food – no more gruel!
‘To help you, I will send along a couple of my guards and a pet or two – they will keep you safe unless you do something stupid’
And so the scene is set for H’Tick to bravely (well for a Skaven) scout out the area and report back.
