Red Star Sept 2012 - Siege of Whitewater

There is an ongoing party as the group returns the dwarven children to the dwarves, they are joined by an elf army, then a dwarf army.  There is a lot of paryting.  Soon the PC"s realise they have been away a whole month and they need to get back to their County.

As the two armies travel west they start to irritate each other, and the party ends around the swamp mine site, as the two groups remember how close they were to war and how deep their differences are.

The PC's struggel to keep the armies moving together and at any good pace, but eventually leave Eberk and Loughlan as guides and move faster.  two elves keep up with them, and 4 dwarves try to keep up, but end up as a middle force ahead of the main party, but not as fast as those elves and the driven PC's.

The Castle is beseiged by a large Red Star army.

.... no flashback.

Army estimates, thousands of zombies, 1/2 that of gobilns, hundreds of humans/dwarves/elves, and dozens of trolls.

The trolls want to attack now, best fighting that way.  The Goblins want to starve out the castle, since they are doing most of the front line fighting.  The zombies are useless until the walls are breached since they don't climb ladders well.  The humans will follow their leaders and just want it over and to get their share of the loot.  The zombies .... "brains"

Safira wearing the hat of disguise and Thayer as Alterself both appearing as Goblins are dropped just outside the town walls, were they find other goblins looting the corpses.  After a breif confrontation with 3 other golibns, Safira animates 10 goblin corpses to zombies, and after a short delay sends them to wandering in the to main goblin camp.

Chris leads two npc (level 4th +1 cha) clerics, Jaden, Stephan, Zav and Ken.  They are teleported to the far side of the Zombie wedge.  They find a single guard, actually a lone necromancer with a staff standing guard.  Ken dispatches him, and takes his skull helmt and large cloak.  Assuming the staff is magical, he attempts to use magic item to aid control of the zombies.  32 zomibies are turned in the first turning ... the crowd starts moving torward the rest of the army, and the castle walls.

Leeflo is given a large black cloak and teleported to the center of the ReD Star camp, just outside the Leaders tent.  Inside he hears a very deep voice say, "We should already be attacking, just let me get my paws on the Goblin King"

And the man in the black armor with the black tabard with the Red Star, and a helm with antlers says,
"There is but one King, and he is I"
