Assessment report regarding battle at the shecat valley
Casualities; In the hundreds.
Territorial loss confirmed.
No structural damage to the shrine of elistraee.
Key personnel killed.
No visible activity in the shecat hive anymore.
Shecat queen killed in action.
I conclude this to be my only and final report regarding the struggle and brief battle that took place in the shecat valley upon the isle of Amia. The enemy outnumbered us 10 to 1 and used sheer military might and power to completely annihilate the resistance.
Through a method of bulky swordsmen and women at the front with a serious pack of healers in the rear they pushed through the vegetation with frenzy.
The countless ambushes, guerilla warfare and traps the shecats and our small team of d'Vilrath casters provided no ample effect and the onslaught of shiny metal marched onwards without delay or doubt.
We counted five causalities on the enemy side, mostly stragglers and lone-rangers bursting trough the tunnels with carelessness. The collective effort of myself and my team left little to wish for.
As soon as the enemy became aware of our side-by-side strike, pathway blocks and entrapment they resorted to anti-personnel magic and tore down our defences, leaving us to either flee or get killed. As we fell back to retreat the bulk-force of the invaders pressed into the queen's lair and laid waste to her, the children and finally torched the place.
This is where the vast majority of shecats met their gruesome death and where the invaders called out their victory. We prepared a new round of evocative energies and set up our spells for another push, only to find that a small side-force of Shrine agents had dispatched to track us down. We gave another attempt of guerilla warfare by using summons and familiars to lure the enemy into narrow pathways before barraging them with energy.
We concluded that our efforts merely provided delay to the inevitable and gave the permanent fall-back signal before we triggered our ley-line wands. The battle was over.
Sidenote;
Of the arachnomancer there was no sightings ....
