You discover a long-lost relic!

Earth Lord's Vigil:
When Housed, this Artifact provides +12% to Defense and Damage Reduction rolls in Combat, to your forces.
Special Activation: All of your Units compare their Armor Checks against the Single Entity chart, even if they are not a Single Entity.  In addition, all morale and cumulative morale effects, inflicted against your forces, are reduced by -1% (to a minimum of -1%).
[ Thus if you sustain a hit Dam => Arm, your Unit only suffers a -4% to Morale, instead of -5%. ]

That one's going in the Activation state.  No questions asked.

Talonrel achieves a Significant Success in converting Il-Dago.

You may recruit an Extra to your cause!

I feel a bit bad for the amount of time you're going to need to spend on this battle, but it's probably about time.  I can't risk Sylvia getting the time to get Pernicious up and running.  That's my main strategy, and it can really take apart my army.  So, I'm going to go for broke to weaken her army as much as possible.  I'll probably take some casualties, too, but if I can dent her enough, it should give me time to finish locating her other base before she can sufficiently recover.

In case I'm not around for battle options, I'm choosing to use Mind Leech on the best defensive Warder unit she has in the battle.  My army is still targeting units carrying ranged weapons as priority.  Randolph can Napoleon as needed.  Of course I'm using the new defensive artifact as well.  Stalwarts Warder has primary defensive priority.  If theirs fail, Phoenix Guardians Warder should pick up the slack.  Will also obviously be using Quiet Shot and every other applicable special ability I have.  Including the sniper combo on Forest's Shadow (Perceptive + Deep Recon).  Let me know if there's anything else you need.

And, obviously, full Harrier is a GO!

Talonrel is victorious!

Your Army shred through Sylvia's forces like a hot knife on a gob of butter.

After routing Sylvia's army, you scour through the Lair as Sylvia and her remaining followers flee.  They gather what they can, allowing the lesser troops to be battered before you as they pull out the last bits that they can.

As you loot, plunder, and tear-down the pathetic excuse for a stronghold, you pull-out a few goodies amongst the wreckage.
