In 3865, he joined in [[The Retaking of Cwl Gen]], lead by [[Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri Egilax]]. He gave the idea of creating three tunnels under the outer wall of [[Cwl Gen]], setting charges in each that once ignited would cause the wall to fall down under its own weight. During this operation in building the tunnels he began speaking to a hallucination of [[Yorrin]] who was was a young mining colleague that had been killed in 3850 in the opening days of the [[Kings of War 2.0 – Edge of the Abyss|abyss expansion]]. | |||
After recanting recent events and issue with the [[Dwarfs|Imperial Dwarfs]] and their lack of efforts to retake what was lost for the [[Free Dwarfs]], a [[Stone Priest]] by the name of [[Cwythn]] approached him. the vision of [[Yorrin]] vanished. Cwythn enquired on the progress of the tunnels and Banik advised being around hour away from denotation. Cwythn then sent a [[Geomancy#Stone Messaging|stone message]] (which was a bunch of images) via his [[Geomancy|Stonemancy]] abilities to [[Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri Egilax]] to relay the situation, hoping it would be understood correctly at the other end. | |||
Banick and [[Cwythn]] began discussing [[Craggoth]], who was with [[Grodgni Baersk|Grodgni]], and Banick thought back to his younger military days where he would dig and refill holes. Suddenly, a young [[dwarf]] ran up to them both to advise them of some sound been heard in the tunnels which sounded like diggers coming towards them. Banick and Cwythn rushed to the location in the tunnels and Cwythn confirmed with his [[Geomancy|Stonemancy]] that its was Sappers aka [[Goblins]]. | |||
Banick | Banick told two [[Free Dwarfs|dwarfs]] to run and ignite the other two tunnels then arranged the workers in the last tunnel to make the final preparations at a quickened pace yet trying to stay quiet to not draw the enemy to them. Before they could complete however the [[Goblins]] managed to break through and one [[goblin]] threw down his torch and drew his knife. Banick noticed the torch falling into some dry straw which will ignite the rest of the explosives, he urgently ran for the exit of the cavern and yelling orders to do the same. The explosion impact pushed Banick out of the remainder of the cave, knocking him out. | ||
Banick | Banick regained consciousness and prepared to fight the [[goblins]] which had already occupied the new hole in the eastern wall of [[Cwl Gen]] despite being wounded. Grabbing a rock, he prepared to engage until suddenely [[Sveri Egilax|Lord Sveri Egilax]] raced past on [[Hellbrock]]. The battle had begun. | ||
A short while later, [[Grodgni Baersk|Grodgni]] caught up with Banick while bringing the [[Earth Elementals]] forward towards the battle, reuniting Banick with Craggoth. Banick hopped onto Craggoth and continued with the rest of the group towards the battle. Suddenly there wer several explosions around the hole in the eastern wall which knocked Banick off Craggoth, falling to the ground. | |||
