Cloak of Molten Metal, Ancient Dragon Cave

Battle of the Ancient Dragon Cave is a set piece battle in Total War: Warhammer.
==Description==
It seems that the process of transmutation is dangerously unpredictable, and Gelt has barely survived the explosion. However, his first-hand experience of the forces involved gives him insight to an artifact that may reduce the risk. Gelt's researchers lead him to the location of an ill-omened cave, shunned by any unfortunate enough to live in its vicinity.
== Prebattle description ==
This dark lair is home to a mage of some sort. Gelt can feel it's energy and the presence of Dark Magic. There are Undead here, of that there is no question, but what great monster has been summoned from its deathbed deep in the cave, Gelt is convinced he's about to find out...
== Speech ==
With me, followers - we will descend into Drake-Tooth Hollow, this cave of ill-aspect, for within lies an artifact of great power.
My arcane talents tell me this place is not unprotected, an ancient, once-dead guardian lies in wait. We must destroy it before we can collect the cave's secrets. You will do this for me.
This is a dread task but my rewards will be great, for I can spin gold from lead, and as the Supreme Patriarch is there a more powerful ally you can have?!
Begin your advance, banish the guardians of this place, and think of the rewards you will have once the Cloak of Molten Metal is mine!
== Enemy forces ==
* 1 Necromancer
* 2 Hexwraiths
* 2 Skeleton Spearmen
* 4 Skeleton Warriors
* 5 Grave Guard
* 4 Skeleton Cavalry
* 2 Vargheists?
