ILL Met at Eightpoints#3F(Drawn and Quartered)

The Eyes of the Nine have returned to their base camp in the Screaming Coil to replenish their water supply from the
4 springs that provide the reddish foul tasting water.Vortemis has found it necessary to rest his fighters before
renewing his mission to deactivate the corrupted Soul Engine.

Garreck & his reavers have also renewed themselves & as a Blood Wind comes up filling the air with a acrid tang of Brimstone
he takes it as a sign from Khrome to do battle. He has moved his Reavers to the Eyes of the Nine encampment determined
to drive them out & seize the Territory.Knowing the Eyes of the Nine will fight to protect their source of water he orders his
fighters to take the Springs.

Targor moved to occupy the nearest spring to the Nine's camp suffering the lashing Bloodwind of Khrone that demanded combat(1damage)

Vortemis moved quickly casting a Bolt of Change that grazed Targor (3 damage)

Garrek then moved & occupied the other spring nearest the Nine taking the Bloodwinds lashing(1damage)

Narvis advances & attacks Targor with Words of Arcane Power & a Sorcerous Bolt which takes the Reiver down (10damage) & captures
the spring.

Arnulf moves to the closest spring to his warband again taking the wrath of the Bloodwind(1damage)

Turish moves on Arnulf but can't reach him & the Bloodwind strikes(1damage)

Vortemis sees the battle has reached a critical point the Reivers control 2 springs & contest 1 & his Eyes only have 1
spring secured. His fighters are near exhaustion but there is a slim chance to secure a stalemate & hope the Reivers will
break. He orders Narvis to attack Krasus who is contest control of a spring.

Saek moves to control the remaining spring & takes the sting of the Bloodwind(1damage)

Turish fires off a Sorcerous Bolt at Arnulf but it misses(0damage)

Garrek sees his plan is working the Reivers control 2 of the springs & contests a 3rd while the Nine only control 1.

Vortemis knowing the springs are vital to his fighters orders Narvia to guard the spring he has taken eventhough the
Bloodwind bites (1damage)

Saek holds to control the spring he has taken & accepts the Bloodwind's bite(1damage)

K'Charik enters the battle moving on Arnulf with Arcane Words of Power but the spell comes out weak & his attack merely
glances the Reiver (2damage)

Turosh attacks with his cursed blade enhanced with Words of Arcane Power & take Arnulf down (10damage) & gaining control
of the spring

Garrek remains at the spring he occupies & takes the Bloodwinds lashing (1damage)

Vortemis sends 2 Bolts of Change into Krasus to keep aid Narvis in holding the spring (9damage)

Krasus knowing Khrone Cares Not about whose blood is shed ignores his wounds & attacks Narvis his axe striking
Narvis (6damage)

Vortemis is desperate the Bloodwind is sapping his fighters strength & blocking his connection to Tzeentch
while the Reavers control 2 springs & contest the other with Narvia. The Eyes still have a chance if they can
gain control of the contested spring & then get to one of the Reavers springs to block control. To that end
he orders Narvia to attack Krasus . Narvia strikes the Reaver(3damage) but his follow attack fails to hit (0damage)
and Krasus survives to challenge control of the spring.

Garrek takes the Bloodwind sting(1damage) and continues to protect the spring he holds

K'Chairk moves on Saek to contest the other spring the Reavers hold taking the lash of the Bloodwin (1damage)

Krasus now counterattacks Narvia as a Blood Offering to Khrone his first attack is dodged(0damage) but his second
succeeds & takes Narvia down (4damage)

Vortemis immediately sends a Bolt of Change into Krasus taking him out (6damage) but realizes even though he has
gained undisputed control of a spring it's too late overcome the Reavers.

Saek fights off K'Chairk with a smashing blow (9damage) but the Eye hangs on the contest the spring

Turosh is overcome by Battle Lust & abandons his spring to charge Garrek caring not for the sting of the Bloodwind(1damage)

Garrek confronts the charging Turosh but his attempt at a Decapitating Strike fails (0damage) & finds the spring he has guarded is
now contested.

Vortemis knows the valiant efforts of Turosh & K'Charik will not gain the day & orders a retreat .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the Campaign goes into extra innings as the Reavers win 4VP to 3 VP as the Reavers won't go down.
The next Game the Reavers will be back as the Aspirant trying for their 1st Conversion.

This Battle Card favored the Reavers as there were 4 Objectives (Springs) & each round a side that controlled
an objective got 1 VP. The Reavers have more fighters & got Initiative in the first round so they were able to
occupy the 2 closest objectives & contest the 2 closest to the Eyes of the Nine.

Lots of twists and turns. I really thought Tzeentch had it.
