Theodoric was at the head of his armies; they had marched from Vienna to Kufstein for the last few weeks, while Berengar was engaging in defense of Innsbruck and the bloodbath which would be the result. Theodoric had just arrived in the Viscounty of Kufstein.
They were currently in the Barony of Kitzbühel, where they planned to lay siege to Kitzbuhel before marching on the City of Kufstein. However, when they entered the region, they noticed strange forts in the pattern of stars protecting the local villages. As they got close, explosive shells had rained down upon their army battering away at their forces.
It did not take long before Theodoric and his forces began to panic, wasn't Kufstein supposed to be open for the taking? Something was amiss, but they could not give up this incident as such Theoderic began to rally his forces who were terrified by the mysterious weapons that bombarded their ranks.
