Goal
Cut off the Baron's secret exits from the Keep.
Corner and execute him.

Walk-through
1. First, split your forces in half. Send half of your Warriors and half of your Bowmen along with one of your Dwarves to the southwest corner of the Keep (to the right of where you entered). Send the rest of the troops about halfway down the opposite hall to the west. Wait there. MAP

2. With your eastern force, set up your Dwarf and Archers outside the doorway to the library and have them guard the door. Back them up with all your Warriors except one. Take this one brave soul and send him into the library. MAP

3. As soon as the guards inside react, pull the Warrior out and back into formation. As the inhabitants of this room march out to their death, drop a few grenades into their laps. You may see some Brigands sneaking up on your from behind; take care of them while your Dwarf tenderizes the Brigands, Knights, and Archers from the library. Once the coast is clear, move your troops in to cover the exit, hidden among the bookshelves. As long as your troops are in this room, the Baron won't try to use the exit. MAP

4. Next, tend to your western troops. Send them to the door of the library in the southwestern corner and draw out the guards using the same method. Move in to cover the secret exit in this library. MAP

5. Leave one or two Warriors to monitor the door you just entered and move the rest of the western force northward through each of the rooms. MAP

6. Leave another Warrior at the next door you come to on the right; once you cut off the entire western side of the castle, you can pull these troops up to join your main force. MAP

7. As you enter the wooden-floored meeting hall, snipe at the Dark Archers manning the head table. MAP

8. Continue north and east through the rooms, butchering any Archers, Knights, or Brigands you encounter. MAP

Surround the Baron in his boudoir and vaporize his personal guard.
9. As you move east, you will come to a point where a stone walkway and a wooden floor meet. At this point, stop your western force and move your eastern force north until you see an east-west hallway. Above this hallway is the Baron's bedroom (in the northeast corner) and the place he has retreated to, thanks to your quick action. From these positions, you will see if the Baron tries to make a break for it. You may, therefore, now pull all of your western troops together. MAP

10. As you approach the Baron's bedroom from the west, use your Dwarves to stop and set up a snare against escape. MAP

11. Now bring your eastern force up to corner the Baron. Set up a Dwarf snare below the bedroom and lure out the Brigands and then the Knights. Once they have been reduced to scrap metal and green gas, converge both forces on the now helpless Baron. Move quickly; the troops lurking in the central throne room will try to come to the Baron's rescue. Make sure they're too late. MAP
