Now comes the messy business of cleaning up. Both companies were decimated, so there are lots of injury rolls... For the battle reports themselves, here are links to the Good and Evil sides of the scenario.
First up, the Good company.
Both Squalin and Bifin receive Leg Wounds, reducing them to Hobbit like speed. Bofin and Filur shake off their injuries and make Full Recoveries. Kilur and Twiggi both receive Injured results and must sit out the next battle. Sadly, Duri has quaffed his last ale, and passes on to the Halls of his Fathers (dead).
Now come the Fists.
Gracbaush is last seen wrapped in webs and being dragged off through the trees by a spider, receiving the Lost in Battle result. Ordinarily, the other members of the company would view this as a positive development, but alas, he was still carrying the company's paychecks. Ogzit makes a Full Recovery, and rids himself of his Old Battle Wound. Auzbog must have found the favor of some dark power, as he receives a Protected by the Valar(?) result. Bolgash and Zorzagar require more time to nurse their wounds, being Injured. Luck is with Uthrog, Krugac, Shuglog, Auzath, Guldursh and Murog as they make Full Recoveries.
Next up, comes the Progression phase.
For the dwarves, Bofin flexes his muscles as he receives an additional point of Might. Squalin gains the Baruk Khazad! special rule, and gleefully sharpens his axe in anticipation.
Preparing their dice, the Fists begin to roll... Gracbaush receives a bonus to his Fight value and grins evilly through the webs as he contemplates forcing roll-off with the dwarves. Auzbog is temporarily enveloped in an inky black cloud as he is Infused with Dark Power. Shuglog and Bolgash both receive promotions to Morannon Orcs and begin to speculate how far they can back date the promotion orders. Auzath and Murog both take their place among the upper echelon of the company, after being recognized as A Hero in the Making. Murog chuckling to himself as he polishes his new bat skull necklace. Unfortunately for him, Guldursh is left sulking with a No Effect result.
Rounding out the process, Influence points are spent. The dwarves gain a reinforcement in the form of a Dwarf Warrior with Two-handed axe, cordially known as "New Kid". Shuglog and Bolgash both fashion crude shields from some of the wood at hand and the company is bolstered by the arrival of Barsh, and Orc Warrior with Shield.
Stay tuned, as the mission to locate the Hold is put on hold, as the Fists must attempt to locate their Lieutenant before he becomes Spider Chow...
