Alpharius and Mandred, having been at the Siege of the Defector, join the Dweomerstar army, along with fellow heroes Daedal, Ursian, Dendelle and Gromag, to lead the Dweomserstar Divisions in an assault on the Defector, who is yet to be identified by any adventurer. After repelling Dweomserstar's siege, the Defector took his army and began to harass the surrounding farms and villages, attempting to bully them into swearing fealty to him instead of Ar'vahl.



The Dweomserstar army, bolstered by the heroes skills, met the army of the Defector at Torag Lakebed where he was prepared for them with trenches full of oil and large boulder traps on the edge of the lake bed. It was a grueling 11 hour battle. Gromag used a Hero Point to act out of turn and cast a spell to protect their siege engine flanks. Gromag then used two Hero Points to cheat death when the enemy's phalanx dropped him.



In the end the defector's army was routed as he fled the battle, calling his knights and champions back to escort him away. The major part of the army was destroyed but it appears the defector and all of his most powerful followers got away. He would be licking his wounds for a long time, but he was not completely defeated, nor was he brought to justice. Ar'vahl will have peace for a while... but it came at a high price, an entire unit of the cities most well trained and fearsome knight division, the Dweomerstar Defenders were destroyed under the leadership of Ursian, who had to use 2 Hero Points to heroically jump out of the way of a fireball.



Fortunately, there were very few other losses and Daedal shined in battle as the siege commander, swinging the conflict in Dweomerstar's favor by evening out the numbers with his massive, explosive catapult bombs.
