The avalanche of rampaging beasts is impossible to hold back. In a matter of moments, you will be overrun. Left with no choice, you call out the order to retreat. Your soldiers immediately drop their payloads and sprint for their lives, desperate to reach the iron gate. At the same moment, you spot a baneful set of yellow eyes lumbering through the horde of monsters. A Broodmother - easily the biggest you have ever encountered - crushes lesser creatures underfoot and slams others aside with wide swings of her mighty tail. If she hits the city gate now, you will never be able to close it. You must hold her off long enough to get the last few soldiers safely through.

At the last moment, you disengage from the battle and dive through the gate just as it slams shut. The thick iron doors crunch into place with a thunderous clang.
