FED2K warlords

[Dante]

PHOOOOT! Rai'guy's party trumpet sounded again. He looked down to where ExSPlug was sitting, and felt the joy wash over him again. He had a lot to pay for, considering what he had done in Assassin. He raised his glass to chime it gently against that of one of the Sentinal's, and drank deeply.

It wasn't alcoholic of course, they were on duty after all. But it was celebratory.

Rai'guy drifted down to the floor, party streamers in his hair and draped across his shoulders. Since these were Dark Elves after all, they were made from spider webbing.

"Cake?" He asked, offering a plate to the Warlord, who shook his head with a glare that should have fried bricks.

"Oh very well, skip the politeness." Rai'guy said, raising himself up to sit on the air in front of ExSPlug. "Now I know you're not very happy at the loss of your second HQ, and your little excursion from General, but nonetheless I have a favour to ask."

ExSPlug looked at the Archer incredulously. Rai'guy winked, "Yes, I thought that'd be your reaction, but hear me out. As you may or may not know EWS is dying. He requires a phial of some serum or other that either you or one of your aides removed from the thread Assassin. Now personally it's no big deal to me whether he lives or he dies, but I've been asked to request the cure from you. We're not going to deal for it, we're not going to beg, I'm asking for the first and last time and if you refuse then EWS dies." He smiled, and swirled his drink in it's glass. "Are you sure you don't want some cake? It's chocolate."

"Mmm, cake." Dust Scout said with his mouth full. Having just returned from Endless Days, he was having some trouble getting the taste of mead out of his mouth. Still, the cake was helping. Even Latrodectus was having some, though she poured a sticky red sauce over it...

"Did you really have to destroy Dragon Rider/House War?" Darius asked with a pained expression, "It could have been a great asset to us."

"What if ExSPlug tried to get it back? Or even someone else?" J'invy said, picking a party streamer from his elbow. "The thread wasn't a strength, it was a liability, we had to be rid of it."

"And our next target?" Lillian asked neutrally, her normally immaculate face covered in chocolate sauce. She scooped another piece into her mouth when she thought nobody was watching.

"Sard has vowed to take care of the remaining threads in Gaming." Dust Scout muttered, swallowing his mouthful. "That leaves General, which I think Dragoon Knight is more than capable of dealing with, and Technical Issues."

"We can afford to ignore ExSPlug for the moment." J'invy reminded him, "He can no longer recruit anything and would, if he is wise, be most likely to try and preserve his forces."

"And if he's not wise?" Lillian burbled, trying to swallow her mouthful and talk at the same time, "always beware of idiots, you never know what they're going to do."

"He's not an idiot, we know that much." Darius intoned, "After all, he headed for Warlords quickly enough."

"I think we should wait for now." J'invy said, "See what he does next. Fortunately, waiting holds no danger of him getting stronger while we do so, because he cannot grow stronger without Hell's Armada now."

"Speaking of which, what are we to do about the... situation there?" Lillian asked.

"We hold on to it, for now." Dust Scout said definately, "I don't want to let it go just yet, though if it comes down to it I shall do."

"Ordos45 is offering us more Setara Shock Troops." J'invy checked a list.

"Accept them and ask if there's anything we can do in return." Dust Scout said quickly.

[Lord J]

Gob's look of confusion quickly became that of anger.  "You dare question what I demand?  Blasphemer!" he turns to the men around him, "Kill him!"

  The ranks are almost evenly divided, with a fanatic scream about twenty Highanders led by a few Orcish and Klingon officers attack Lord J.

  Three Highlanders are skewered immediately by Lord J's springloaded pike, and as a Klingon bears down on him with a batleth, the forces surrounding Lord J come out of thier stupor.

  While the fight ensues Gob begins to change.  His features distort as he grows larger and darker.  By the time the fight is almost over, the creature posing as Gob had changed into something truly different-- No longer there stood a white yeti on a golden throne, but a fearsome beast, with slitted eyes, footlong talons, and only the haze of white fur on the tips of a long black mane.

  We see something of its true form... thought Lord J, "All Hovertanks, attack and destroy the creature!"

  As the creature slowly crept forward, several Highlanders ran forward, claymores raised.  The creature made stort work of these men, killing a platoon with what seemed like a backhand slash.

  "Now!" screamed Lord J into the reciever, and the disruptor cannons charged and fired simultaneosly.

  With an unearthly scream, the creature managed a few more steps before finally falling to the earth, dead.

  "It is over." says Andrews, "We have taken My Angel."

  Lord J slowly walks to the bare golden throne and the creature at its base.  "What we have killed today is not Gob.  Gob would not have asked for any army, would not have asked for the death of any man over himself."  Lord J pauses, "Gob lives on, beyond these borders and in the soul of every man, Klingon and Orc here today.

  "What this creature meant to do was break the bonds of Gobism that holds us all together," Lord J continues, his voice becoming more powerful as his words take effect, in his heart and others.  "But this creature failed, instead strengthening those bonds, and making us more powerful than ever before!"

  Sensing the speech was over, an Orcish commander strides up on the platform and kicks the creatures body.  "Right, and who gonna help me carry this stinking, bleeding carcass out of Lord J's sight?"  Instead of waiting for volunteers, he assigns the task to several "maggots" who promptly drag the body outside.

  Gobist: Fanatic follower of Gob.  Upgraded from Highlander class, and only slightly stronger, the Gobist has a hidden strength.  He is capable of turning enemy Highlanders into followers of Lord J at the rate of ten per Gobist per battle post.

"HALO2," said Bea," is ours m'lord."

"Good," replied Ordos45," Very good.  I kind of guessed that when those light veichles arrived."

"Of course m'lord," said Bea," General Talsir did report losses to be almost a third of his troops."

"It was worth it Bea," said Ordos45," It was worth it."

"Indeed m'lord," replied the Cardinal," Now what can we do?"

[Lord J]

Lord J looks around the room, "It's a bit...plain isn't it?"

  "Just a bit," says Andrews, "But I'm feeling something...A power source, I suppose," he turns toward the throne, "coming from there."

  Lord J move away from the throne and orders all troops out of the room.

  Once everyone is gone, he turns toward Andrews, "I want a full investigation.  Now."

  A few hours later, Andrews finally runs out of ideas.

  "I can't seem to sense the purpose or strength of what I feel.  Maybe if we get a team of engineers to lift the throne..." Andrews shakes his head, shrugging.

  "Why don't you sit in it then?" asks Lord J.

  Andrews steps back with an eyebrow raised, "I didn't think of that."

  Andrews walks to the throne and takes a seat.

  "I feel it stronger here...It's incred--!"  He's cut off as a myriad of screens start popping up in front of him.  He scans the screens, reading first the obvious language then decoding along the way... "Incredible."

  "Yes, I caught that much, what is it?"

  "Well," his finger pokes a holographic button, "it seems that this is the creature's log.  He was surfing the outer limits of deep space when he came upon this world."

  "He was an alien?"

  "Absolutely," he mutters under his breath, "What is this?"

  Lord J walks up to the trone and tries to look over Andrews' shoulder.  He sees nothing but color and light, unable to communicate with the machine as Andrews.  "What is it?"

  Andrews had been concentrating, this snapped him out of it, "Oh, well, it seems that he had been working on a major project.  This technology is capable of resorting the chemical makeup of earth..." he gasps, "This creature had enhanced the more...unstable elements under each thread," he looks up at Lord J, "this creature was planning on annihilating evey major thread on this board!"

[ExSPlug]

ExSPlug kept his eyes on the screen. Dragon Rider/House War is now a burning ruin, the citizens and his troops there that can't escape fought to their last drop of blood. All of them died with honor, but definitely not peacefully. The screens goes off as the last of the troops died.

"Got anymore of that?" he turned to Rai'guy, pointing at the glass he's holding.

Rai'guy was puzzled by ExSPlug's actions. Nevertheless, he still handed over to him a bottle of the stuff. ExSPlug then left for the conference chamber.

The conference chamber is now empty. Everyone is celebrating, and what is the need of negociating with your opponent when you've defeated him? The conference table and chairs still popped up when ExSPlug enters, however. On the walls of the chamber hangs the banners of every warlord, a regonication of the warlord's political influence and power. Among them is the banner of Hells Armada, the head of a Fenris Wolf crafted out of gunmetal. It reflected lights of the chamber which give it a lustry black appearence. ExSPlug walks to the banner and removed the cock of the bottle of wine. He raises it, as if giving a toast to the banner, then poured all of the contents to the floor. He then removed the banner from the wall, and return to his room.

Message to all warlords:

I wish to meet all of you or your representatives at Fed2k Warlords. There is something that I wish to announce to all warlords.

ExSPlug

Message to EWS:

[hide]Your sickness is not as fatal as you thought, at least not in the near future. It does give you the suffering and pain of having a terminal illness though. Still, you must bear the pain and come to Fed2k Warlords in order to be cured, as the cure can't be delivered in any means. I am sorry to inform you of the news but that's the very truth.

ExSPlug[/hide]

Under the command of ExSPlug, the troops will shut the gates and not engage with any hostiles unless they get close to the walls of the threads, even when challanged openly to war.

Vin has ordered the troops to ride to Fed2k Warlords.

"King Sard's is leading his men to our threads in Gaming! We must strike them when they are still on their way if we want to have a chance of winning!"

"The Khan has ordered us to wall in,"replied Akira tonelessly as he continue to finish the pentagram in order to summon another lesser god.

"Let's hope this will drive them away."

Sard read the message with some disappointment, he had been looking forward to face Akria in battle, but now it seemed as if he was needed elsewhere.

He ordered his men to build a fortified camp, that should prevent them from falling in one post to a surprise attack

As his men were hard at work, he rode back in the direction of Fan Fic

Twinkie finally reaches the gates of "OOOH". Akira didn't open the gates, but had ordered a small squad of Dragon-Panzers to airlift him into the fort.

The pentagram is finally being completed, and the devil summoners starts to summon the lesser god. This one would take more effort then previous ones, but the effect...they would not know until it's being put into use.

Meanwhile, Vin and the troops had arrived to Fed2k Warlords. They were garrisoned on outer regions of the thread, but the no aggression rule still apply. Vin enters the halls of Fed2k Warlords and meets ExSPlug.

"Will you be attending this... this 'council' in Warlords?" J'invy asks neutrally, being careful to look directly at nothing.

"In person." Dust Scout smiles, "Fed2k Warlords will not protect me from harm but it will ensure that anyone who does attack me is dealt with swiftly and decicively."

"Are you sure that this is acceptable?" Latrodectus asks with one delicate eyebrow raised.

"I should be attending anyway." Dust Scout replies, "I have been asked to attend. And besides which, I've have Rai'guy do some... negotiating on my part. I have to be there to seal the deal."

"Deal? You've had Rai'guy making deals?" J'invy asks slightly nervously, "You trust a dark elf with your foreign policy?"

"Rai'guy is oppertunistic but I made sure to leave him no room for 'personal gain' in this deal." Dust Scout winks. "And now away, I have a meeting to attend." He snaps his fingers. There is a pause that is just long enough to be embarassing, before a door appears, leading to The List.

* * *

"So glad to see you arrived safely." Rai'guy lied as Dust Scout stepped through the door into Warlords.

"Rai'guy, treacherous as you are, you do realise that it is me who keeps you alive?" Dust Scout asked casually, brushing some imaginary dirt from his sleeve.

"At the moment." Rai'guy replied smoothly, directing the Warlord towards the conference room.

As he stepped through the door, Dust Scout noticed the blank space on the wall where once had been a banner.

"You were quick." He said.

"Waiting would have helped?" ExSPlug asked dryly. Before Dust Scout can answer he gestures to a chair. "First to arrive, then? I can't say I'm entirely surprised."

"I wanted to get the details ironed out before the others arrive." Dust Scout answered calmly, "You're making a very wise decision."

"So are you." ExSPlug replied with just a hint of a threat.

* * *

Message to all Warlords:

This is a formal declaration of the diplomatic negotiations between the Warlord Dust Scout and the ex-Warlord ExSPlug.

ExSPlug renounces the title of Warlord, within the near future he will abandon his threads in all boards and move his troops to Gaming, where they will take up residence in the thread "OOOh for anyone who LIKE ONLINE RPG'S READ HERE." From here ExSPlug will conduct his services as a Mercenary.

Warlords will hire ExSPlug under terms of their own negotiation. He will fight for them. He will only be able to recruit units while hired, and these units will be of a single kind at 40 per post, of approximate strength of a thread unit [this is because he no longer gets recruitment of stronger, 1-per-post units]. He will not be able to utilise any former techs besides that found in his 'base' thread.

ExSPlug may negotiate and refuse or accept contracts from Warlords at his discretion. He may not attack other Warlords without being instructed to, but he can defend his 'base' thread.

ExSPlug's first contract is with the Warlord Dust Scout. Terms of employment are:

1) ExSPlug will fight for the aforesaid Warlord.

2) ExSPlug will be allowed to recruit units as he is hired.

3) Should the contract terminate, ExSPlug will be allowed 3 posts of continued recruitment before it must again cease.

4) ExSPlug is guaranteed protection of his 'base' thread from attack by outside forces.

5) This contract may be altered at any time by negotiation between the two parties, namely ExSPlug and Dust Scout.

Message ends.

* * *

"I think that went rather well. Will you be leaving soon?" Dust Scout turns to ask ExSPlug, with Vin at his side now.

"I invited the other Warlords here for a reason." ExSPlug replies sarcastically, "I am still allowed a political life outside your influence."

"Don't be so sure of that." Dust Scout winks. "I hope we can continue to work together on this. If you want to renegotiate, though not much I hope, I'll be right over there." He wanders over to join Rai'guy and a group of Archers.

Bet you didn't expect that!

[Lord J]

"...Can you imagine the political implications of this technology?"  Lord J asks his troops.

  "Every faction reaches a point where the technology that once limited war to men on the field, ships at sea and fighters in the sky surpasses the need for honorable war.  It comes to a point where power is balanced only through the threat of mutually assured destruction.

  "Today we reached that point.  We now have the technology to destroy any thread in one post."

  The men cheer, realizing how this could mean the final victory for Lord J's faction.

  Lord J just stands behind his podium, a stern look on his face.

  "Cheer as you will, the Kanlinites finally have a source of respect and power unmatched in all of Fed2k.  However--" Lord J stops as a message pops up on his slayte.

[pre]  Urgent

  Calender: 30th May, 2004.  Vacation!!!.[/pre]

  "Ehh...Something has come up," says Lord J lamely, "You're dismissed."

  The soldiers look at Lord J strangely, then realize form and begin to clap.

  Once the ovation is over and the troops are gone, Andrews walks up to Lord J.

  "What's going on?"

  "...Huh?" Lord J seems preoccupied, "Oh."  He grins and points to his slayte, "Vacation."

  "Vaca..." Andrews seems disturbed and confused, "What about the new technology, ExSPlug's council at Fed2k Warlords, our plans for board domina--?"

  "Vacation, six to eight days of Florida sun and the best thrills Universal Studios Orlando has to offer!"

  "...Eh..." Andrews looks like he's just realized how insane Lord J truly is.

  "As for the board, troop production will continue at about the same rate, new units every day.  All the faction's holdings will go on standby, which means they are unconquerable.  Anyone who dares to attempt to touch them will simply lose it back to me upon my return.  I will gain any troops lost in such a battle, and any troops lost by them will be just that: lost."

  "But what about--!"

  "Oh shut up!" says Lord J, and Andrews does just that.

  As Lord J shuffles off from the still body he types on his slayte face and mutters to himself.

  "Three jeans, five shirts, five boxers, five t-shirts..."

"Exsplug has gone to far, we can not allow his power to grow unchecked." Lord Rookie said to his tabel of advisers

"But sir he would crush us in a open campaign."

"Yes a open campaighn he would, However our threads are heavily fortified, it would take a massive onslaught to take them. KYA VS Setera is practicly invanruable. The Dozen Mac Cannons and bombers that fly around the thread would decect any incoming craft, even if they managed to board us our defense systems would be alerted right away."

"So he would most likey attack 1000 ways to know your to into dune?" The secetary of state asked.

"Yes...That is what i was thinking, the thread is a fortress, but is more vanrable then KYA Vs Setera."

"A war decleration...?" laughed ExSPlug as he sees the message,"What is the use of declaring war on a faction that had lost it's Warlord status?"

"Obviously he wants to provoke us, then he would have a good excuse to take the threads we abandon." Vin said after he reads at the message.

"Might as well ignore it. Still, we better inform Dust Scout about it. We hired now, eventhough not more than half of the warlords had agreed to us turning mercenary."

"Yes sir."

"And before more than half of the warlords agreed, we still hold on to our threads. We would not go agressive, however."

"We'd best preapre for a war effort against Rookie." Dust Scout muttered to ExSPlug, reading through the declaration. "You still have your conferance to manage and I won't interfere with that until it's over; but still we'd be best to make a move. I don't think he'll just step back if we point out a technicality."

"Are you saying we attack Rookie first?" ExSPlug asked neutrally.

"I'm saying that you should start withdrawing your forces to Gaming now." Dust Scout said, "Once they're all garrisoned in your base thread then you can launch an attack from Gaming to Fanfiction. You can use The List to speed it up, but no moving aside, I'll moniter the whole thing. You can also use it to get into the centre of '1000 ways to know your to into dune,' attack from the citadel outwards. Yes?"

The troops massed on the ridge, overlooking Cloned Baby Supposedly Born. This thread was not a strong one, it's troops were weak. But they were very, very many.

[Lord J]

(OOC: Well, I was going to give myself extra units because of my inactivity, but considering everyone else's inactivity... It's just fluff.  Oh yeah, BTW: I'm back.)

  Lord J beams into the command center at Kanly.

  He turns to Andrews, "Report."

  "Nothing much to say, sir, O45 went into vacation mode shortly after you did.  There's a meeting scheduled at Warlords.  I've done a little work with the technology we found at My Angel, and have transported most of it here."

  "Great, talking about that new tech...Any new information?"

  "I need your approval to initiate the first strike.  I suggest a minor thread that we can afford to lose."

  "Understood, show me to the control panel."

  A few moments later, Lord J taps in the site, Short Story Contest, into the targeting display.  The panel shows a buildup of explosive materials building up under the thread.

  Suddenly, the ground begins to quake under the feet of the garrisoned troops.  A great cleave opens and swallows a third of the troops there.  The other troops run in dazed confusion.

  "Not quite as powerful as I anticip--!" says Andrews, until he is interupted by a new development:

  All around Fan Fiction, the ground trembles, and two other threads expirience incredible earthquakes.  Short Horror Fic looses a full third of its troops, and the unclaimed thread Vampires: the Masquerade in Fan Fiction is opened for invasion.

  "...Incredible." says Lord J once the trembling has subsided.

  "It appears, my liege, that you have truly changed the very face of Fan Fiction, as you said in your oath."

  "Yes, and I must go to Warlords and report this mighty weapon to my allies."  He pauses, then adds, "Also, send some troops to Vampires: the Masquerade."

  "Aye, my Lord."

  A few days later, Lord J arrives at Fed2K Warlords.

  "Greetings Sir Sard," he says to his old ally, "I've got a few things to bring to this table."

[Lord J]

Lord J raises his eyebrow as Sir Sard turns and leaves the room.

  He turns back and shrugs, pulling out his slayte and tapping on the keyboard.

  ...So the technology found at My Angel basicly allows us to cause an earthquake

at any target, causing a loss of 1/3 of thier troops.  However, the earthquake

causes aftershocks and opens earthquakes at three other threads...apparently

randomly.[/pre]

  Meanwhile, the troops have made thier way to Vampire: The Masquerade.

  An Ordos Sabotour runs ahead and blows up the gate, clearing the ground for the Hovertanks.  The troops march through at a slow rate, but find no immediate resistance.

  The force breaks up, and several platoons move in opposite directions scouting out the area.

  As darkness falls a howl can be heard on the wind.
