WiR Scenario 4- Ambush at Night

 The surviving Uruk scouts of Amon Hen led by Ugluk continue their march back to Isengard with their captives. On route, they join up with Grishnakh, Snaga and a band of orcs and later on Mauhur and his own scout unit. Knowing that they are being pursued by the three hunters, they have been running, until eventually the orcs refuse to move any further without a rest. 

As they form their camp and food is given out, discontent arises as ideas of dismembering the prisoners are raised, but Ugluk will not hear of it. Grishnakh slides towards the Hobbits in the middle of the arguing, when suddenly a spear strikes him from behind...the riders of Rohan begin their ambush with Eomer at the helm!

No previous scenarios affect this one.

Ambush at Night

 

The Rohirrim advance. Following the spear that hit Grishnakh, a volley of bows kills an orc and an uruk. The Uruks return fire and kill a rider. To kill 75%, evil need to kill 15, good need to kill 21.

Grishnakh crawls after the Hobbits. The Rohirrim engage!

Heroic combats are called by Captain Gamdor of Rohan, Ugluk, Mauhur and Snaga. Gamdor and Snaga fail theirs. Snaga is wounded.

Ugluk succeeds and hurls himself at Gamdor! In the combat, Ugluk brings him down to 1w, 0f.

Meanwhile, Mauhur flanks Eomer, who loses 2f. End of the turn, 5 riders are dead to 7 of evil.

The next turn, the Rohirrim lose the Heroic move. Ugluk pins a rider and Gamdor. Eomer is also pinned.

In the combats, Ugluk is wounded by Gamdor. And more riders are surrounded and slain. End of the turn 9 riders are dead to 10 evil.

Eomer manages to wound Mauhur.

Ugluk once again faces Gamdor 1 on 1 and manages to slice through his leather armour, slaying the Captain.

Eomer makes up for the loss by riding down Mauhur! 10 riders to 15 evil are dead.

However, Grishnakh manages to catch Pippin by the ankle! Merry turns to help his friend! Pippin saves himself with fate!

Ugluk spots the leader of the assault upon his camp! He roars and charges in! Managing to cause two wounds on his horse, after Eomer uses horse lord and his last fate.

Beside them, Grishnakh squeals triumphantly as he grabs both Hobbits! Merry manages to stamp on his wrist and Pippin throws a stone in his face! (2 6s!) Grishnakh fails his fate and is out.

Ugluk and Snaga attack the Marshal of Rohan as a duo!

The Hobbits escape into Fangorn!

But the surviving uruks and orcs manage to kill enough of the Rohirrim to claim victory, and eventually Eomer is wounded and must flee as Ugluk gets him.
