“Protect the retreat!” commanded Grey Worm as the dead clawed forward.
The Unsullied’s true life began only a few years earlier, when Drogon incinerated Kraznys mo Nakloz and the Mother of Dragons dropped the Harpy’s lash in the sand. Now thousands of these unknown soldiers stood ready to die before the gates of Winterfell.
“Stand your ground!”
The Unsullied’s boots dug into the snow. It was a short, brutal existence, but one filled with purpose since the day Daenerys Targaryen freed them in the Plaza of Pride.
“Protect the retreat!”
The Story
"Davos Seaworth tries to signal Daenerys to light the trench. However, Daenerys and Drogon cannot see the signal through the storm. In an attempt to ignite the trench, archers shoot flaming arrows into it, but to no avail. The extreme cold and the wind extinguish the arrows. Men are sent out to ignite it with torches, but are attacked by wights. A group of Unsullied then escorts Melisandre towards the trench. After a few failed attempts, she ignites it, buying the living a few moments' reprieve."
The Scenario
This scenario utilizes the Others Faction. This is the third scenario in a 6-part series that covers the Battle of Winterfell from the divisive Season 8 episode "The Long Night." This scenario is preceded by The Dead Attack and followed by Winterfell Overrun.
This is a fan-made scenario inspired by CMON Limited’s A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game and is in no way associated with CMON.
