Miles away, the enemy hears the groan of machinery as the Deaththrower is dragged closer, the clank of scales as the Dragonsbane Regiment marches onward, and the blood-chilling war song of the Dunedain as they come to avenge the fallen. The advance suddenly comes to a halt as a massive horde of foul creatures lead several thousand innocent non-combatants onto a ridge to be observed. There they are beheaded and sighing the dismounted commander roars; this is what will happen to your wives and children next. Destroy that machine or we will herd the rest into the pits, male civilians, prisoners of war and women and children. Now, we wouldn't want that to happen would we. Smiling despite his treachery he orders the ballistae to fire, they do causing 90% of fornost to go up in smoke and most of the population to be burned alive. Despairing the remaining dunedain rout and flee to fornost. While their commander is captured, tortured mentally/physically and then beaten to death by Morgoth's leuitenant with his bare hands. While his dragon chortling gleefully sets the innocent alight and then devours their charred corpses. He continues to spray fire for hours until he falls asleep; still buzzing with happiness at the terror he caused. Now I'd like a say in this!

This all the beheading happens, but the commander forgets the army he left behind him, which comes up and rescues the innocents, while helping destroy the army. The Dunedain fire the Deaththrower, but miss slightly, only putting the  dragon out of action. The Dragonsbane charge, fueled by anger and the desire for revenge. They cut down the army like wheat before a scythe. The army retreats, but not without taking a  few down. The Dunedain, elves, and dwarves are victorious, but it is a hollow victory, as many fell, and the dragon, in its agony, crushed many. The Dunedain retreat to Fornost, nursing their wounds and putting the Deaththrower back in its place, saddened that the dragon lived. However they grin as they remember the spy that poisoned the enemies food.
