Beastmen of the Savage Lands encounter goblin mushroom farmers

The bray shaman clambered to the crest if the mound to survey the scene below. His war party had found the grave site just after dawn and had eagerly set to excavating and consuming the long forgotten corpses. The work had been hard going as they had to clear the brightly coloured fungus that seemed to thrive in the local area.

With the sun setting, the shaman had tasked the ungor with collecting fire wood so they might build a pyre to praise the gods for the feast that their visions had guided him to. As the last light faded a commotion to the west caught his attention. A teeming mass of what appeared to be bouncing mouths was bounding towards them. The dragon ogors were the first first of his warriors to respond to this new threat, pushing to the north to confront the nearest enemy group. The initial engagement was brief as a herd of bestigor encircled the enemy battling the dragon ogors.

Then the main battle lines clashed. Bullgors held the centre and met the bulk of the enemy horde with support from more bestigor and a towering ghorgon. The battle seemed to be going well until a raving grot riding a pair of chained-together bouncing beasts. The bounding mass smashed through the bullgor lines before swinging to the north and breaking the dragon ogors, all the while the rider jabbering incessantly about mushrooms.

As grot heavy cavalry barrelled into the remaining beasts of his herd the shaman fled under covering fire from the newly returned ungor. He had to worn the Carrion Lord of this new threat to the Barrowgorge Fray's dominance in the region.
