History
Infestation
After Skaven were discovered in the ruins of the monastery of Sigmar's Ascension, the nearby town of Ausreik sent to Altdorf for aid. [1a] The first relief column under Captain Wilhelm Stieb was ambushed as it trudeged towards the town and the ratmen began to besiege Ausreik. [1b]
Before they could be too weakened, Graf Gustavus Abenaur led the townsfolk in a sally which for a time drove off the Skaven [1c] but it was not until a second much stringer relief column arrived that the town was safe. The leader of the new arrivals was Mandred Skavenslayer himself and his veteran scouts quickly located the mine-warren of the enemy. With no other option, Visquit Furblak led his clan against the man-things. [1e]
Battle
With nowhere to go, the Skaven fought hard and it was only when Mandred charged Furblak and slew him that they broke and ran. [1e]
