comming of dark days

[Morgoth]

"Let it be known that you are whoever or whatever I say you are. And all who serve me are my servants and will obey me on their lives, or they shall find that they have none. Behold the power of Skorn", he roared, uprooting an oak. A particularly drunk soldier standing at the other side of camp was making rude gestures... until Skorn hurled the tree. It flew across the entire camp, dirt flying from the roots, until it hit the man, or now, a bloody pulp. "Let it be known that Skorn will not be defied! Defiance will be repaid 100-hundred fold with death! Now get to your tents! I am here to speak to your commander, not this rabble!" he ordered, the panicked soldiers quickly obeying him. He turned and watched Dakota once more. Before he had been standing just inside the tent flap. Then he had carried himself out. Now, he was fully inside the darkness of the tent. It only served to enlarge him.

Re: OOC

I'm still waiting for something to happen in the town, my charater is the type that reacts to opposition, he doesn't go out and look for it. We need a villain to attack, or a quest to stop said vilain, or something.

 

[Roughneck]

OOC: I agree with ya, and I have been trying to do my part. My Char right now is in conflict with Skorn. I have also introduced the Cidex witch is located in a temple. As I stated in an earlier post the temple can be reached by a portal located under the village. Also as you can see a battle will take place between skorn and my Char. I just think other people need to either take whats been said and develope it, or add some of their own flavor to the story.

 

[Khadgar]

alright

OOC: okay. i didn't want this to be the sort of thing that happens, but it seems i must crack pandora's box.

IC: Balinor came to a clearing in the forrest, there he say a small tip on a tunnel leading under the earth, and it led back to the village.
the tunnel was overgrown with thick clumps of weeds and vines, but Balinor pushed past them on his way in. the door creaked open noisily, and a sence of foreboding came over him. but Balinor was never one to scare easily. he pressed forth. after walking for nearly as long as he had come to the clearing, when at last there was another door. the wood looked rotten and seeping ooze, but it was firm and tough to the touch. the handle felt hot, and with every intention to open the door it grew hotter. once the dorr finally cracked, Balinor was hit with a wave of a musty decrepit smell. his vision shadded dark and darked untill the sun from the tunnel above was a dim candle , and then suddenly everything came backl, bright again. Balinor looked back into the door, but spun around as he heard a distant sounding screech. in the room, there was nothing but i small pillar with an opening in it. Balinor shut the door and ram back to the surface. he came to the top just in time to see the light shades of grey take shape in a spread of odd creatures, of all sorts the mind could immagine. they threw themselves at anything that lived. and several were already impaled on the city gate spikes. this has to be a joke thought Balinor. These people JUST fought a battle!

"NOOOO" Balinor cried and shot forth ropes of yellow, leashing themselves to one of the creatures neck and flew along them towards the village.

DAKOTA

After his meeting with Skorn, it had been decided that he would move his Mercenary army south of the village, while Skorn came up frm the west. Skorn wanted Dakota's army to encircle the South side, while lending support to the east. Dakota played it cool, and agreed to Skorns battle plan, not wanting to draw any attention to his own plans.

That next morning the army headed out, the thousands upon thousands of men marching on the road caused a great cloud of dust to form overhead. That morning as well Dakota was able to secure the contract with the Orge's, he planed to use them along with the Dragon Knights to turn the tide of battle against Skorn. As he rode with the colum of men, he looked over the map, trying to pinpoint the location of the entrence to the lost temple. " Damn" thought Dakota, "Skorn has placed me to far north of the entrence" Dakota mumbled to himself. The only way to solve that problem was to fight his way to the entrence, a choice Dakota did not look forward to.

That night as the army camped, a battle plan was put into action. They would move in position to support Skorns troops, and attack the area maped out by him. Then the Dragon Knights would attack from behind Skorns ranks, with the orge's in support. Dakota planed to use that diversion to swing his army around and attack Skorns front, this would cause Skorn to fight a two front battle. While this was happening Dakota and a hand select group would make there way to the entrence. On paper the plan looked unstopable, but Dakota knew that in battle, the tide can always turn for the worse.

Balinor Ohms

Balinor flew along golden leashes and landed on a flying wraiths neck, as he landed his fingernails lengthened and sharpened like steel, stabing into the creature, and riding it to the ground and it fell from the sky. liquid life seeping from it's wounds. when he landed, drawing strength from the warmpth of the ground, he shot his hand up and an orb of lightning trailed along the walls, sending several fliers to the ground smoking. Several men were slamming the gates closed and barring them. Balinor ran back to the bar. it was the only place he knew people were. *opening the door he called out "another wave has come! to your feet. we must fight."

 

[Khadgar]

er, that was me

 

[Morgoth]

Sor'kle jumped through the door, sword unsheathed in an instant. "To me! Gather to the Light! 's Death on the wind!" he roared out, rallying villagers and adventurers to him, sword shining like a blinding star.

Skorn growled in anticipation. "There they are. Fools! I'll tear them to bits and use their skins to make me a cape!" he hissed through his teeth. His army lay hidden in the underbrush. "You're already corpses!" he said softly. He motioned for a messenger. "Spread the word! Soon as they come within 2 miles, bowmen and catapults are to fire. Then, spears advance with cavalry on the flanks. Lastly, swords and hellspawn advance. And I DO NOT want a charge. A steady advance. Then, dragons are loosed, providing air support. Then, me and my Reavers will go to the field. Understand?" he whispered. The messenger nodded, then scurried away. Skorn tightened the grip on his sword.

 

[Khadgar]

Balinor Ohms

Balinor turned back and brought a hand forth, breaking the wall of a nearby house. the mortar and rubble crushed the life out a a dozen beasts. Sor'kle ran out behind his and began rallying villagers.

Balinor braced his stance and threw his arms forth. sending lances of fire and ash burning into his enemies, the back lash of power billowing out his cloak behind him. with a throaty cry he ripped an arm up, out of the stream and roasted a flier, sending it screaming down behind the villagers.

Balinor grappled up the side of the tavern to see how everything was going. from this view he could see almost all the village

 

[Roughneck]

Dakota

The day had come at last, the armys stood paused for battle, the air was think with death. Dakota paced back and forth, waiting for the signal from Skorn to start their advance. As Dakota mounted his horse, Will came spuring up behind him,. "Dakota" yelled Will, "Swansea is in position, along with the Orge's" Will said, nearly out of breath. "How many Dragon Knights" Dakota asked. "Nearly five Thousand" Will said, a slight smile crossing his face. Dakota laughed patting his old friend on the back. "Are the Darl Elfs in position as well" Dakota asked as he rode his horse foward. " They are in position along the wood line Dakota, along with the heavy calvery in support" said Will, trying to keep up with Dakota.

His plan was now in place, the Dragon Knights, along with the Orges would attack from behind. The main army would swing around and attack from the front. This would create a box around Skorns army, allowing his Archers from the wood line to rain arrows onto them. The final peace to the attack would be the charge of nearly nine thousand heavy calvery through Skorns flank, witch would crush the backbone of his army.

As Dakota rode to the front of the lines, with Will at his side the men cheered. The saluted and rejoyced at the sight of their comander. The men began to yell "Dakota" "Dakota ' "Dakota", the chant being heard from miles away. As he stoped infront of his men, Dakota wheeled around in his horse to confront his men. "Men" yelled Dakota, " Today is the day we claim what belongs to us" The men yelled and chanted in response.

As Dakota moved onto the stageing area of the attack, he looked at Will. "Will, are the men prepared to go with me to the temple" Will nodded, then said, " Yes, I have asembled seven humdred of the best swordsmen, archers, lancers, and mages to make the trip with you. Dakota nodded, a pleased look on his face. "Good, I pray all falls into place" said Dakota. Dakota sensed something was on Wills mind , so he turned to his friend and said, " whats troubleing you Will" Will grined, knowing his old friend read him well. " what about the villagers Dakota, what shall we do with them" Dakota gave a cold stare to Will, " Kill them if they get in the way" Will nodded, knowing that the order was serious, and he was ready to carry it out. " Will" yelled Dakota as he rode off, "Lead the army to victory, and when we see eachother again, I will be a God" Will smiled as he watched his dear friend ride off, then he himself rode off to give the final orders for the attack.

The battle begins

OOC: Hey people, I'm a little confused on the geographics of this thread. Are there two villages here, or just one? And where exactly are you all located? As far as I can tell, Syrus is the only character currently in the human village, and the rest of you are in the elf village, right? And which one is under attack? I really can't post anything until I figure this out.

 

[Roughneck]

OOC: ok, as far as I know there is no elf village. I was under the impression that we were attacking the human village. Now my char is fighting alongside Skorn at the moment, and were prepareing to lay waste to the village and its defenders. Thats where I think were at, correct me please if Im wrong.

 

[Slance]

I don't think there that similer the main thing is they both have magic and Caraz my char is not a scholer in magic but he got it for heloing a demon after he lost his rmorse and all he betrayed the angel and a demon gave him magic power so his is just there like a sorcers.
IC: Caraz rode towards the gates of the vilage he got to them seeing tons of armed men there rather gittery. He got off his horse and whent to the man with the badge. Caraz raised his hand and the mans eyes whent black then he opend the gate. Caraz came whent through and he heard one of the man ask there captin why he had let him through in the oncoming of war. The captin replied. "What man i saw no man... have you been drinking?" Lucan stood there and raising his hands a small portal apeard but it was not for battle he saw the army that was coming to destroy the village. Caraz bent and a blue glow came from his hands and made a thin line across the ground in front of the gate. Caraz mutterd to him self. "That should hold um for a while." He got up stagering slightly as if he had performed a great class then he ran to the gate witch opend and the man looked for him but he glided past cloaked by the shadows and jumped on his horse and rode in to the main of the village.

 

[Morgoth]

"Finally!" hissed Skorn when his enemies were finally two miles off. He raised his hand and the first ten ranks fell, pierced by a hail of arrows. The rest raised their shields to block the new volley, but they had as much chance of blocking it as if they had twigs. Boulders, loosed from enormous catapaults turned them to a bloody pulp. The spears and cavalry poured from their positions, 40,000 strong. Then came the swords and hellspawn, together numbering 60,000. Just as the first rank of spears met with the swords of the army, Skorn wandered into the open, arrows whistling around him. He raised his arms high, and a long crack went from him. It stopped in the middle of the enemy. There, a groaning came from the earth, then the ground was split asunder in an enormous crevice, swallowing thousands of soldiers. Many stared in awe, but then an enormous tentacle lashed out, curling around 100 soldiers, picking them up, and crushing them all in one motion. Nearly 40 more of these tentacles lashed out, and pulled up what in many men's last thoughts would be a truly awesome spectacle. A long snout with an imbossibly long mouth came first, lined with hundreds upon hundreds of teeth. Then came a gargantuan body, heavily spiked and scaled. The thing began to lash out with it's tentacles, ripping men to bits and simply eating hundreds at a time. All the while, it left Skorn's army completely alone. Then, flights of dragons went into the sky, spewing fire. Skorn turned to his Reavers and fixed on his helmet. "Let's go. We have work to do", he said, mounting a horse and riding towards the village. He stopped and picked up a fallen enemy soldier. With one mighty swing of his sword, he beheaded him. Then, like one would peel an orange, he skinned the head and tore the brains out. Then, he put it on a stick and fixed it to his flag. Then, he saw the village. He drove his heels into the horses flanks and rode harder.

 

[Khadgar]

OOC: uh, just a comment, this is a SMALL village, who'se people have been under attack before, so, if one of these spiked goloms kill hundreds each, either these peple are reprodicing like rabbits, or in about 12 seconds, there will be no one left. just something to consider, either tht, or i'm confused, and your attacking another village.

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Just two things: Firstly, Skorn isn't attacking a village militia, he's fighting an army of elves, paladins, and a large assortment of other good people. Secondly, it's not a golem, it's a demon known as a Lord of the Pit.

 

[Khadgar]

OOC: alright
