Still the battle for the Underworld rages

Despite the initial loss of control the battle for the underworld is not over. Still it rages as skeleton armies are raised and lost. Gazarog will not be denied, calling forth the skeletal remains of yet more armies long dead in his efforts to gain the power and control that he so desperately seeks.

And so battle was resumed ...



Gazarog's opponent raced his riders across his front in an attempt to wrong-foot Gazarog by shifting the focus of the action from one flank to the other.


As they raced across the front between the two armies the powers of magic coursed through the fetid air ..

Gazarog continued to advance his main line against the enemy.

And the enemy army was defeated, its troops crumbling to dust across the battle field.
