When the screams from the camp roared across the tents Lucian was already moving towards them. A Grail Knight was a tireless who did not need anything like sleep or eat, they were simply a weapon of the Lady’s might against the perils of the world.
As Lucian came to face this next one he saw the tents that were covering the tunnels crafted by Adok had been brought down. Many of them were ripped to shreds while others appeared to be worn by the men and other things as they quickly ran through the cloth.
What caught Lucian’s attention faster then the men who were running for their lives was the loud screeching and chitters of rats. Running towards his people were Skaven dressed in green robes, each of them throwing themselves with an insane fury.
Without another thought Lucian was upon them. His scythe cut through three of them with a single slice with ease. Their bodies were even easier to cut than many of the other creatures Lucian fought for their bodies were closer to puss than actual muscle.
He did not hesitate to slaughter them by the dozen. Their number were small though, clearly just an accident by the miners to have intercepted one of the many Skaven tunnels. But the fact that there were Skaven tunnels, perhaps even an undercity underneath them, struck Lucian as he slew the last of them.
As he slew the last one whose twin knives failed to pierce the armor the Adok had made for him, Lucian looked at the men who were laying on the ground. Some were clearly struck by the Skaven, their backs filled with knife holes as they were killed by a berserk and unexpected foe.
Others Lucian did not expect. Picking one of them up, an Albonish warrior, Lucian noticed that the man’s face had gotten red and was sweating far more than he should have even after a battle. When his armor touched the man’s skin he could feel the immense heat his body was making even through the thick armor that he wore.
In dire straights and with no way out, the Duke had made a gambit. To make such gambits with Skaven was the most foolish a still living man could do, they would all learn.
