The light skyboat Leaky Bukkit glided above the surface of the blue-green coloured
Copperwater, slowing down as the crew took-in the little sail, until it almost
stopped then gently bumped into the shore.
Kurbak Sloop, one of the lower-deck Wardokks of the Cleavermaw, clambered out
of the boat and made his way up the beach. The rest of the boat team followed
him over the gunwales, they looked around at the mountains that surrounded the
lake as they hauled on the ropes securing the launch.
"Right, let's be having you horrible lot spread-out and start looking round. The Kapitan said there is like to be some snake worshipping cult types here abouts. So keep a weather eye open!" said Kurbak.
The low murmured conversations between the crew continued in a mostly good natured way. The
journey through the Bleed to Silverside had been relatively uneventful so far
but they were all keen to get on with the job so they could find a fight, and
go back to the drinking dens of Choggrish.
Then they all jumped at a loud noise inland. An ululating roaring, in a mix of
high pitched and deep voices, rolled across the water and echoed off the
cliffs.
"What the blasted hells was that?" shouted Kurbak.
Dorglut Flog pointed and made a strange gurgling sound.
From the tree-line band of reptilian warriors bore down on them with
surprising speed!

As soon as the Cleavermaws of the Second Starboard Watch, came ashore on the
banks of Copperwater they were set-upon by a band of Seraphon called the
Dawnfall Ark.
Rudder Azag charged enthusiastically but he wasn't able to land a blow. The
Saurus Warrior was slower but they hit Azag hard.
Harbour Skag and Mainstay Bite were surrounded. The Oldblood made short work
of Skag.
Kurbak Sloop went head-to-head with Whispering-Visions in a very one-sided
duel of magical powers.

I finished 6 Seraphon models today and played fast-and-dirty solo Warcry
game... that ended unexpectedly quickly - one round!
