After charging into the encampment alongside my crew, I engaged in brutal melee combat until my health critically drained. While searching for rations to recover, a power outage reset the raid. Restarting from the outer gates, I summoned my crew, eliminated patrolling guards, sniped archers from rooftops, and rejoined the fray.
Now that my crew arrived, we started charging together into the settlement. Right upon pushing deeper into the encampment, an enemy soldier armed with a heavy axe ambushed me, but he quickly lost both his weapon and his life under my counterattack.
Moving toward the opposite side of the location, I encountered a spearman guarding the entrance of a warehouse. I dispatched him with precise melee strikes, but immediately noticed additional enemy reinforcements rushing to engage me and my surrounding crew members.
I pushed deeper into the hostile territory, steadily eliminating guards by driving my blade directly through their chests and executing several decapitation finishers to clear out the immediate area.
During the intense crossfire, my health bar drained drastically. Having already exhausted all of my prepared health potions, I was forced to halt my aggression and begin actively scanning the environment for edible food sources.
On my search, I located a large locked building with a barricaded door. I called over a crew member to force it open, but upon breaching it, I spotted several heavily armed guards inside whom I chose to avoid due to my critical health state.
Steering clear of the interior fight, I found a supplies crate located inside an open shed. I signaled another Viking warrior to help me break open the chest, successfully looting the raw materials inside.
Desperate to locate food and restore my health bar, I continued searching the camp premises. Suddenly, an aggressive enemy swordsman spotted me and charged, forcing me to draw my bow; however, an abrupt electrical load shedding shut down my system mid-fight, interrupting the session.
Upon restarting the game, I was spawned back outside the main encampment gate, requiring me to restart the entire raid from scratch. Eager to bypass the initial setup, I immediately sounded my raid horn to summon my crew to the front lines.
While blowing the horn, I spotted a small patrol of enemy soldiers marching up from behind my position toward the fortress. I intercepted them immediately, cutting down the patrol before they could reinforce the gate defenses.
I charged forward and scaled the roof of a guard building at the entrance. Realizing my crew had stopped advancing because the horn was blown outside the perimeter, I sounded it a second time from above while using my bow to pick off enemy archers stationed across nearby platforms.
Once my longship warriors finally broke through the entry point and reached the courtyard below, I leaped off the rooftop to rejoin them and unleash our full assault on the encampment.
That's all for now.
