Both the Russians and Prussians had heard news of missing forces to the North East of the valley and the investigators moved in to the area. One of the local farmsteads was abandoned but so activity was sighted around on of the farms larger barns. As both forces approached from either side it soon became clear that the Harvestmen had been at work as Revenants surrounded the building.
Both sides approached cautiously at this point unaware of each other and quickly dispatched the Revenants at the buildings outer edge. With the Prussians making their way into the barn first the Russian that came in afterwards was somewhat startled, and that's when things went to hell......well for the Russians.
The Prussians in the barn dispatched a Revenant and snatch up an artefact from near its corpse and having decided the growling bear noises on the other side of the barn needed no further investigation start to with draw, only pausing to take pot shots and the horrors the Russian where having to deal with.
On the opposite side of the barn things started well for the Russians who overwhelmed two revenants and revealed two clues, but at this point things went side ways, with a Living Armour, Goblin, Skeleton, more Revenants and a Black Dog all being attracted to the area, and in particular the Russians right flank. One Russian skin shifted into a Werebear and started to battle these horrors, but without the correct tools to despatch these monster was literally caught in a fight to the death.
With incoming Prussian fire and a somewhat organised response the Russians fled the battlefield whilst the Prussians made off with the loot.
Following this investigation the Prussians headed west across the river, with the some what shaken Russians in pursuit. It seemed the Prussian had a better lay of the land and having crossed the River they turned around and waited for the hapless Russians. Little did they know this was Troll country and the Prussians had masked there scent crossing the bridge. As small arms fire rang out from the Russian Muskets and Rifles there Champion of Faith made for the bridge, only to be confronted with the hulking form of a River Troll.
The Troll was not alone and a Goblin attracted by the ruckus headed towards a group of Prussians meanwhile a Bandit that must have pursued the Russians from the previous battle appeared in their backline. Thrown into disarray the Russians began to retreat leaving the Prussians to loot what they could from the distracted Troll and make their escape.
Two harsh results for the Russians including the death of the Werebear!
