Synopsis[ | ]

The Heroes travel through Helmgart, which has been invaded by the combined forces of the Skaven and the Rotblood Tribe. They make their way through the town and over the city walls towards the Temple of Sigmar. Their goal is to ring the Bell inside the temple in order to create a distraction for Olesya.

Arena Event[ | ]

At the training yard, the heroes must raise two portcullises with a Chain Winch in order to progress. Activating the winch will cause Enemies to attack until the second portcullis is raised. Once both are raised, the heroes can progress to the elevator and up to the city wall.

Finale[ | ]

Within the Temple of Sigmar, the heroes will find a large bell. Ringing it causes the temple doors to close and enemy waves to spawn. The statue of Sigmar inside the temple will slowly rise, until the Hammer creates a magic energy blast that destroys all the surviving enemies. The players can then progress down a spiral staircase to the Bridge of Shadows. This event is kill-dependent, meaning the faster the heroes clear the waves, the faster the event finishes.

Post-Mission[ | ]

That was a fair old racket, heroic ones, and by Ursun, it actually worked! Hardly saw a twitching tail or a beady eye. Well, except for all the busy ones around the Skittergate. Busy, busy little rats... So busy I could easily glean some useful information. Yes, crucial information! The Skittergate will be up again, sooner or later, but first, only at minimal capacity. This is when I will go through it. Well, not me personally of course, but, I have my methods. When in Norsca, I will take good look around and see what I can come up with. And yes, I have established a secure path for me to get back down there, but should it be compromised, I might need another distraction or two from you lot.
~ Olesya Pimenova

Quotes[ | ]

Listen, Olesya's got a good shot at gaining some proper information about the Skittergate. She's going into Helmgart, and so are you. Difference is, she'll be sneaky, and you'll be loud. Provide a distraction by ringing the bells at the Temple of Sigmar. Let's allow the old woman to work in peace, eh?
~ Franz Lohner


I need a distraction, and you're just the fellows to make it for me. Ring out them bells, as me mother used to say. The bells in question are in Helmgart's Temple of Sigmar. Give 'em a good clatter and you'll draw every eye and blade for miles around. Why, you ask? Our friendly, neighborhood magic spy, Olesya, needs to gather vital intelligence on the Skittergate. Figure you could help her out.
~ Franz Lohner


Lohner wants a distraction, and apparently getting Saltzpyre drunk on brandy and setting him loose in the marketplace ain't gonna cut it. So we're heading up to the Temple of Sigmar to set the bells ringing. Course, there's every chance the skaven have got there first, so I'm stillhoping someone wants to go with the brandy plan. I'll talk to Kerillian. She might be up for it.
~ Markus Kruber as Grail Knight


Apparently, Olesya's sneaking around looking for the Skittergate - which suits me fine, 'cos it means she's not looking for *me*. Only, she needs a distraction to get the job done. I told Lohner the Old Biddy's quite distracting enough, but I don't think he heard me, so the rest of us are off to ring the bells in the Temple of Sigmar.
~ Markus Kruber as Grail Knight


Seems the Aldrinn's gone looking for this Skittergate the Pactsworn are using to attack Helmgart. We can't have the old biddy getting caught, so we'll be ringing the bells in the Temple of Sigmar to get the raki and the kazaki'dum looking in the wrong direction.
~ Bardin Goreksson as Outcast Engineer


So Lohner wants a distraction, eh? Not a problem - I was put on this world to be distracting! We'll head to the Temple of Sigmar and get the bells ringing. That, along with wreaking a bit of carnage along the way, should do the trick.
~ Bardin Goreksson as Outcast Engineer


Lohner wants us to cause a distraction. I suggested stripping Saltzpyre naked and hanging him from the city walls, but apparently that was a bit ... too much. Instead, we're going to ring the bells at the Temple of Sigmar. Oh well, maybe next time.
~ Kerillian as Sister of the Thorn


Olesya has gone into Helmgart to spy on the ratmen, and we're to create a distraction to make her life easier. So off to the Temple of Sigmar we go to ring out the bells. What can possibly go wrong with that? How long have you got?
~ Kerillian as Sister of the Thorn


We are called upon to create a distraction by ringing the bells at the Temple of Sigmar. This is indeed a glorious and holy mission, for such sweet chimes will surely revive the fighting spirit of the embattled Helmgart. Yes! I have a good feeling about this day. A change of fortunes is on the wind.
~ Victor Saltzpyre as Warrior Priest of Sigmar


Lohner's accomplice - that disrespectful Kislevite - has departed to spy on the ratmen. To aid in her mission, we are to perform one of our own. By waking the bells at the Temple of Sigmar, we shall bring half the city's pactsworn down on us. Let them come.
~ Victor Saltzpyre as Warrior Priest of Sigmar


Notes[ | ]

  • In the beta this map was called "Seeds of Corruption"
  • The Franz Erikson Platz in front of the arena is named in reference to Franz Erikson, leader of the Helmgart Bowmen in the 1998 videogame Warhammer: Dark Omen.
  • The Statue of Sigmar in the temple is the same you can get in your Keep with the Collector's Edition.
