Background

The Skaven of the Black Chasm lair formed a shaky alliance with Night Goblin Warboss Skragg's Orc & Goblin horde that resides deep in the forest of Loren to invade the Bretonnian town of Parravon. The Bretonnian Baron de Parravon was not prepared for an invasion from both hordes, as his crusader army was off in Lustria looking for an old family relic. He called in a favor from the High Elves and they dispatched the small guard unit from the trading post outside of Marienburg. The High Elves fought off the initial attack, but everyone knows it was simply a minor probe to test the defenses.

While the Baron rushed back from Lustria the High Elves fought multiple delaying actions against the goblin horde. The elves continued to repel the goblins, but the most recent engagement exacted a severe price on the elves. The Baron's arrival could not come at a better time. The elves need to regroup and rest. Unfortunately, the Baron's vanguard were not aware that the elves were aiding their lord, and decided to engage the elves.

Meanwhile, the shaky alliance between the Skaven and Goblins erupted into violence. The Night Goblin Warboss felt like his horde was doing the brunt of the fighting, and as they returned to the forest to prepare for the next assault on Parravon, they ran into the Skaven and a fight ensued.
