Fiends of the Fen Week 3

The constant warfare and battle had taken their toll on Scabious Pestilous and Bilious multiple head injuries had left them all confused and slow. The recent skirmishes had been tough and even with the hideous and know bloodily scared Hilda von Trapp, Witch and member of the mistresses coven in the band the struggles recently had been the hardest yet. He was also worried about his position in the band both of his Lieutenants were know his equal in his combat possibly more so however they were in awe of him and the grizzly token of his victories he carried, the body of Konrat Harker. The band had been defeated three times within the past week firstly against the Samurai warriors of Nippon. Then the lizardmen had attacked the pure brutality of the Kroxigor overpowering and driving his snivelling minions into retreat. Finally they'd been overpowered by the freakish clowns of a circus they'd tried to pillage. nurgle would be laughing at that one for sure. Fortunately he was still in the Mistresses good books her hatred of Witch Hunters meant their killing of one would greatly aid him in succouring his safety from her and Mordheim was far less perilous than the Mistreses displeasure.
Suddenly he heard the howl of one of his hounds, recognising the peculiar notes from Lassie the hound Pestilous yelled out "What's that Lassie you smell Druchii do you? Lets feast upon their bones then". Swiftly the band rushed forwards bow fire knocked out the dogs and left them whimpering on the floor fortunately neither was badly injured. Rushing through the bowfire the warband was counter charged fortunately the brutal might of his minions swiftly overpowered the Druchii. Spindleshanks had overpowered the leader and with the falling of him the Druchii suddenly retreated as swiftly as the ambush had occurred. The leader and a swordsman were not so lucky and the two prisoners provided a fine feast for the band.
