Skirmish of the Valley

The Skirmish of the Valley is a conflict in The Coalition War that was fought near the city of Gebel in Yimmu-Audal. It was between Bardonia and mainly the allies of Yimmu-Audal, as the empire proper had been depleted by defeat at the Battle of Cahuarn. Both sides used the same formula for battle as this one, but with slightly different tactics. The win condition was to destroy the other's beds in the fort and kill them to claim the battlefield.

Bardonia's Setup
Bardonia created a vertical fort that resembled a light-house, with the beds to be destroyed at the top. The fort was defended by being on a small hill, across the valley from the Coalition fort, and one side being surrounded by cacti.

The Bardonian forces were:


 * BackToTheHub
 * Call_Me_Realz
 * CrezyMan
 * DHVO
 * Dalerl
 * JurzTheAndal
 * LobsterLights
 * MidgeApe
 * Moyye
 * RussischeBannana
 * Sheepell
 * Spartan_37
 * T2Snow
 * The_Mobius
 * Thinker__
 * Tzseu
 * Unic0rnb0i
 * __Athos__
 * lilpuddintator/Ezexus
 * ViewedMarquis

Yimmu-Audal Coalition Setup- fort Bydgoszcz
The Coalition set up Fort Bydgoszcz- a walled compound with defenses of several medium-high walls, cobwebs, soulsand, lava, sweetberry bushes, and cacti as defenses. There were 2 ground keeps, each with a few beds in them, and 3 floating platforms above with water dropping down from them above the fort, each having at least 1 bed.

The Coalition forces were:


 * Greentoss
 * Jane the Bane
 * Daddi_Michalski
 * Musztardan
 * Wojcievchj
 * SnapplyPie
 * ThatOneGuyMatt
 * Darkwizard07 (archmage)
 * Koza66
 * Carpicious

The Battle
The battle started suddenly as the Bardonian forces mobbed the north side of the Coalition fort, climbing up between the lavas under arrow fire from the defenders. Some got stuck in cobwebs and some were pushed into the lava and berry bushes by the arrow fire, but in reality the defenses didn't do much but slow the advance into the fort. Unic0rnb0i was the first in the fort walls, and he first went in and shot the unarmored Carpicious. The attackers first cleared the northern keep, then the southern one. In each, they faced heavy fighting and had to dig into the walls to ascend up to where the beds were. On the top of the northern keep there was a heavy melee between 8 players, all while Coalition archers shot into them from the top of the southern keep. There was a 3v1 duel of Sheepell, lilpuddintator, and Spartan37 vs GreenToss. GreenToss survived until two of his diamond armor pieces were destroyed and the fight was going on in the savannah far from the fort.

At this point, the Bardonians travelled up the water to the platforms and destroyed the beds. The only remaining bed was that of Carpicious, who continuously jumped off the platform, killing herself. Unic0rnb0i finally destroyed this bed, and the battle was completely won for Bardonia after a total of 10-15 minutes

Backtothehub's main trophy from this was Carpicious's personal bow.
