And in the Bluuue corner...




Introducing...

The War Pigs!

Francis Bacon the Goliath Fighter.
Bubba Hamilton the Deva Wizard.
James Porkins the Dwarven Cleric.
and...
Reggie "saw's edge" McGammon the Halfling Rogue.

I'm guessing you can work out who's who, but just in case... it's in height order.
;)

In the Red Corner...


The Hellrazors...

Azazel, Vorland, Belial and Mastema.

All Tiefling Warlocks!

Mob Mentality/Tactics

Azazel and Vorland round on the diminutive but now exposed Halfling back shooter. Vorland has been wounded by him but his magical armour is keeping him relatively safe.
Three blasts of Eldritch flame burn the tiny figure where he stands.
He collapses to the floor still smoking.
The huge Goliath wades in and attempts to reverse the tide of the battle, supported by the Deva Wizards fire elementals.
Three of the Hellrazors are soon hurt and seem powerless against the massive, bizarrely tough Fighter.
Worse, the Deva Wizard moves over to the presumed dead Cleric and administers a healing draft.
The Dwarven cleric’s heavy eyelids flutter open.
Realising that the battle may be turning against them, the Warlocks do what they always do in times of stress.
They flee from trouble and blast the helpless.
The three confronted by the Goliath Fighter teleport away while the unmarked Mastema blasts the just rousing Dwarven Cleric twice in rapid succession.
This time there can be no doubt that he’s gone to the Dwarven underworld.

It's Sven's world, Sven's world, excellent!

Bastards rush in

Having only learned a partial lesson from their last battle, they summon the mystical ‘Armour of Agathys’ around them before they rush headlong towards the enemy!
‘Chaaaaarge!’ shouts Azazel.
The mixed group of non-humans stealthily drop back towards cover but the Tiefling Warlocks merely fire their crossbows as they close down the distance.
Bolt after bolt misses but the Tieflings seem indifferent.
Finally they manage to spot one of the enemy group and unsurprisingly it's the gigantic Goliath Fighter.
A blast of Eldritch energy passes straight through his armour. Much to his surprise the blast of Hellish energy sears him deeply.
Falling back the huge warrior gulps down a healing draft and looks to his Dwarven healer companion.
Seeking to help, the Dwarf casts a Command at the nearest evil Warlock. It fails though against its monstrous will.
Then in a massive over response, two of the Tieflings send multiple eldritch blasts at the Dwarf.
He resists the first and the second but the third sends him back down to the earth Dwarves so love.
In quick succession, the battle rages. The Halfling snipes from cover, the Goliath rushes forward and the Deva (not realising the Tiefling’s natural resistance to fire) summons up multiple fire elementals. They are still powerful enough to hurt however.
Two of the Fiendish Warlocks are hurt but so to are the Goliath and the Halfling Rogue…

Let Slip the Boars of War

At the opposing corners pentagramic platform, about a hundred yards away, a fearsome group appears.
A towering Goliath Fighter, a dour but tough looking Dwarven Cleric, a smirking Halfling Rogue and a haughty looking Deva Wizard.
The Four Tiefling Warlocks lick eachother's lips…
This could be trouble…

Kirk's Hellrazor’s vs Josh's War pigs

After their narrow escape verses the Human Team Apocalypse, the Tiefling Warlocks returned to their Hell of choice to lick each others wounds.
Their leader: Azazel calls them together.
“We were rash last time. We gave no thought to our own safety and foolishly rushed toward our own destruction. We were fiendishly lucky to escape with a draw.”
The other three listen shame faced.
“Next time we will be more cautious. Next time we will show the enemy some respect.’
A deep red light glows from their pentagramic portal.
“Come girls and boy. Our chance of redemption has arrived!”
