"Brother Anselm, you have done well. So well, in fact, that we have a new task for you. The sacred relic of St Ukkert lies unprotected. You must take your company and defend it."
__________________________________________________________________________
Not long after, Anselm's company approaches the Shrine of St Ukkert, located in a cave in Mount Xhrisimum. Up front are 2 lances of rangers, Gifford on the left and Randall on the right. They are followed by Gernier's (left) and Anselm's paladins.
Anselm spies a horrifying sight - goblin raiders at the shrine (upper right)!
The rangers take up positions in a field and unleash deadly volleys on the goblins. Anselm charges forward on the right flank.
Anselm is repulsed. Meanwhile, a band of goblin spears (upper left), takes off with the sacred relic! The company pursues.
Gernier's paladins block the thieves then Gifford's rangers shoot down the goblins.
Gernier recovers the relic.
Anselm attacks and destroys some goblins while Gernier hands off the relic to Gifford's rangers.
Gifford makes a break for the shrine but some goblin skirmishers intercept his lance.
The goblins scatter the rangers and seize the relic. The paladins rush into the fray.
But the goblins break free and escape with the relic!
Horrors! Anselm's company has failed its mission.

Notes
- I am experimenting with ideas for a small scale fantasy wargame. I am using the scenarios from Dragon Rampant. This is the second scenario, the Sacred Mole of Ukkert.
- I was almost unable to play because Onyx decided that my box of miniatures made a comfortable bed. Cats are weird.
- Today's game marked the first outing of my 3mm generic fantasy armies. The bad guys are simply black. The good guys have rangers in green and paladins in silver.
- The game was quick and exciting. The rules sort of worked, but need a lot more tweaking. More on those at a later time (Onyx is on my lap now and it is hard to type).
