Assault on Defias Deadmines

March 14, 2200….

The sun was beginning to set as Slamscape walked out of the tower of Sentinel Hill. He looked out into the distance toward the defias hideout known as Moonbrook. Scouts had just reported that heavy fighting was going on between other Alliance forces and the Defias. Slamscape looked around as other Dragonwolves arrived, he recognized a few that he had fought side by side in many battles before, but many of the faces were new to him, and looked eager to battle.

Slamscape gathered the Wolves around him and laid out his plans, the objective was to head into the town of Moonbrook at dusk, and locate the secret underground mines, the Deadmines. Once inside the Dragonwolves would split up into two groups and attempt to locate and assassinate the Defias leader, VanCleef. The first group, led by Slamscape, a 21 mage himself would consist of Mirecrown, the only other veteran, a 24 warrior, Bryna, a 22 Rogue, Trexdog, a 21 Warrior, and Bandaide, a 22 Priest. The second group would be led by Erroll, the veteran 21 Priest, and joined by 2 other full Wolves, Shags a 19 Rogue and NightJackle a 25 Hunter, and Paison a 19 rogue, and Cyblewind a 22 Hunter.

Both groups headed out toward Moonbrook, as the walked the trail they saw countless wounded soldiers being carried back toward Sentinel Hill. As the groups made it to the outskirts of the hideout an alliance scout jogged over toward Slamscape and Erroll and reported that the entrance to the deadmines had been found and the way was clear. The scout led them through the fighting toward the entrance. The two groups moved as one into the mines and quickly dispatched all resistance inside. They made their way to the entrance of the Deadmines themselves, and decided there that they would split up and take different paths to have a better chance of locating VanCleef.

Both groups moved through the hideout, meeting with heavy resistance. The Defias were no match for the Dragonwolves though and the pirates were easily crushed. In searching for VanCleef they also ran across his subordinates which were tougher and faster than the rest of the Defias. These bosses were strong but the dragonwolves were smarter and driven and took them down as well. After over an hour of heavy fighting both groups made it to opposite sides of the central cave, which was occupied by the Defias’ largest naval Vessels. Slamscape’s group fought up the docks on one side while Erroll’s group fought up the other.

As Slamscape’s group neared the main deck of the ship one of the Defias escaped the fighting and warned VanCleef, he sent all his remaining pirates down to confront the group, which proved to be his undoing. While Slamscape’s group could not break through this force and was forced to fall back, Erroll’s group used this distraction to attack VanCleef and kill him. The weary Dragonwolves reported back to Sentinel Hill and informed Gryan Stoutmantle, the leader of the Alliance forces in Westfall that VanCleef was no more.
