Three days, Hernando Dias and his brave followers trekked through the jungle, yet they had only made it two miles. Life had been a living hell for the Numenoreans ever since they had gone into the accursed jungle: so thick were the plants that the men had to hack their own paths with hachets and makshift axes. Mosquitoes desended in hordes, spreading disease. Rain came down incesently, rusting men's armour and weapons. To say the least, Hernando's campain was a disaster.

But, as evil as he was, Hernando was an charasmatic speaker, and at the end of each day he made a speech about the riches and fame that awaited them in Texcoco. Thus the men continued on a near-suicidal trek. But early on the forth day, the Numenoreans reached a clearing several miles in diameter where they could rest: a paradise after spending so much time in the humid jungle. Hernando called the men to a halt, and gave orders that they would spend the day there to give thanks to Melkor.

They held a mighty celebration, but all of the sudden it was cut short by wild war-cries and the shouts of warriors: the first Tauredain counter attack had come.

Currently, 500 Tauredain warriors are decending on several thousand Numenoreans from the North. The Tauredain party was supposed to be scouting, but when the chieften saw the Numenorean party, he saw a chance to take them by surprise.

The Numenoreans have control of the southern half of the clearing, and managed to throw together a shield wall before the Tauredain hit. The rest of their party, however, was still readying their weapons and would need time to come into the battle.
