On the eve of battle, when evil lines themselves against the gates, Lucian decided that it was in his best to kneel and pray. With his scythe standing upright as a crutch for his whole body the Knight leaned forward towards the evil that was coming.
Then he spoke under his breath, “Gods above, I, Lucian, pray upon each of you that we will be triumphant here today. I first sing to the Lady, the protector and patron of Bretonnia. May her protection cause all arrows that fly towards me disappear into the sky. That she may pay witness to my coming deeds today to becoming a Grail Knight.”
Lucian could hear the wooden gates that were holding the enemy back begin to shutter and fracture. The weight of the darkness behind them pressing against their fiber walls.
“I pray to Grimnir, he who witnessed my battles and found that I was not wanted. By carrying his rune upon my skin I am a chosen who will bring ruin against those who go against order.” Lucian said as the men around him began to grow restless.
The Baron was now shouting as loud as he could to order his archers to constantly fire. Their attacks were raining upon the monsters on the other side of the wall but the facts were already apparent.
Those who are Slaved to Darkness shall shatter these gates, and soon.
“Finally.” Lucian kept his eyes closed even as the sound of wood splitting reached him, “I pray to you, Morr, my Patron who has carried me through all of my life’s trials. I would have been dead a thousand times over if you had decided that it was my time, yet you staved your scythe because you wished for me to wield it in your stead. I ask you, my Patron, as your Champion, that you allow me to swing it for one more night.”
The final syllable of Lucian’s words were the calling for the gates to shatter. Bursting through them were a half dozen giant monsters who looked to be a mixture of wolf and man. Their claws were razor sharp and eyes red, yet the armor upon them showed that these were not mere beasts but men who had been turned into beasts.
A blessing of their Dark Gods.
>CHARGE!
>Stay in formation, move forward
>Take the front, take the blows, be the vanguard
