Overview

For some time, Dwarf Rangers have watched as the greenskins use the tunnels around Howling Gorge. One large tunnel mouth in particular is a vital thoroughfare for the Orcs and Goblins. If that could be sealed, the ambush would be prevented. The Dwarfs have gathered several barrels of black powder and traveled to the Howling Gorge to close the greenskins’ main tunnel. Upon seeing the Dwarfs arrive with their “boom-powder,” the greenskins realize that they must act quickly. They draw up a hasty plan to turn the tables on the Dwarfs and use their enemies’ black powder kegs to destroy a rock ledge above the road. The resulting avalanche will make the road completely impassable, and the Dwarf forces will be held up for weeks while they dig through, buying the greenskins valuable time to gather reinforcements.

As the Dwarfs enter the high cavern and prepare to do their work, Orcs and Goblins suddenly leap out from the shadows and cave mouths. The battle for Howling Gorge has begun!

RvR Tip: Love thy healer and maybe he’ll love you back. Always watch for attacks on your healers.
