Grey Seer Scyletooth follows a magical storm into sacred Lizardman territory, binding fiery monsters to protect his trespassing army. A Slann counters with its own Chimera while Saurus strike the Skaven flanks. The Mage-Priest prepares the Great Leveller at the cost of its life, and the illustrated encounters show the storm transforming both the available creatures and the significance of the surrounding ruins.
