Objective 5: Battle!

If You Win This Objective, Read:
With the Eastern Passages sealed off, it seems the heroes have bought enough time for the Forgemasters to complete their work which is at its critical last stages. As they all gather in the Tower of Altoth to witness the forging of the Everlast, a sequence of sudden tremors shakes the earth below them. To their horror, the outer walls of the city crack and then crumble! As the dust settles, the Heroes are stricken as the Vale in front of them has been upheaved and changed. Zaldramas, the Demon Lord, has used his chaos magic to fabricate a new landscape...a cataclysmic battlescape. And as the heroes stare off onto this new arena, an army of undead captained by two Chaos Necrophages come charging towards the City. With the Everlast forging in its final and most vulnerable state, the heroes will be hard-pressed to defend their realm from this final onslaught.
