With the Red Hand horde preparing to storm Sumberton's city walls, SWAG helped the city with final defensive preparations. On a tense, hot summer day, SWAG patrolled the city, helping to repel several probes of city defenses by goblin worg riders and flying horde creatures.
Shortly after nightfall, cries rang out as boulders hurled from the darkness began crashing into the city walls from the north and south. SWAG raced to the northern walls while Luminous Order knights prepared to engage the southern attackers. SWAG exited the city, heading 500 feet north to stop 4 hill giants who were bombarding the city walls with hurled rocks.
Dodging arrows from hobgoblins firing from long range, SWAG engaged the giants. The giants were determined not to be stopped from their bombardment, and they continued pummeling the city even as their comrades fell to SWAG's attacks. Finally, SWAG succeeded in defeating the giants. The city's northern walls were severely weakened, but did not fall.
As SWAG returned to the city, Lord Carstellan informed them that the Luminous Order knights to the south were unable to prevent the collapse of the southern walls. The horde began pouring into the city through the breached walls.
Before SWAG could reach the breached southern walls to help defend the city, the large red dragon Abithriax began his assault on Sumberton, setting several buildings on fire and descending to grab militia members only to fly up with them and then drop them to their deaths. SWAG reached the dragon to find several dwarven mercenaries and Sumberton soldiers dead or unconscious, and the remaining militia fleeing for their lives.
SWAG engaged Abithriax as a sudden windstorm appeared, fanning the flames and spreading the fire to nearby buildings. As the city around them burned, SWAG launched a devastating attack on the dragon, trapping it in tanglefoot bags, magically suppressing its breath weapon, and smiting it with greatsword and bow attacks. Finally, Abithriax fell, and SWAG helped put out the city fires, preventing the destruction of more of the city's infrastructure.
SWAG quickly healed and prepared for the next battle.
