Mad Rhetoric Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 A small dispatched group of Jaskas' investigated the ruins of Encelon and Avalon.While walking among the flames and rubble,something rutsles in the bushes.Commander Esan holds up a clenched fist."Stay loose."He orders.Suddenly the air is filled with ear-peircing shreiks as goblins attack and the group fights for their lives.

Anathema Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Meanwhile, high in the mountains, the wizzard Mestif and his escort are searching for new griphons to tame for use."Aren't griphons dangerous?"Mesif answers with only "Yes.""How dangerous?"Mestif is annoyed by the guards inquisitive nature, and says:"If I weren't with you dwarves to help you in this, a griphon could easily eat all of you. Does that answer your question?""Eeeeh...yes.""Don't worry. I know a thing or two about griphons- they can be tamed quite easily if you're used to it. I promise I won't get any of you killed."

Mad Rhetoric Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Only 2 Jaskas' managed to survive,Esan and another.They buried themselves beneath the rubble,hoping their smell would be masked out by the burning wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord J Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 (OOC: Umm, the reptilitan creatures found by Jakk are the Koblaks of Dolicot. Not a new quest, just an introduction of the Orc's arrival at the new town. But that's cool, we'll keep it smooth :) ) Ztraag eyes the stones idly, then turns back toward the hallway. He doesn't want to mess around with anything until he's absolutely sure of his options. Once he gets back to the intersection, he turns and heads left down the unexplored hall... Hrogg looks at the Knight with narrowed eyes. Orcs are not intelligent creatures, but they're not stupid either. Something is happening here, and Hrogg feels like a lost man in the dark, looking for an answer. "Umm...Timili...Conference." says Hrogg edgily, then back at the Knight, "And you, don't go anywhere!" "Whatever you say, Orc Lord." replies the Knight with scorn, but respectful undertones underline his words. Once Timili and Hrogg are back far enough from the Knight to ensure privacy, Hrogg asks, "Are you sure this is the Knight who kidnapped Lord Moogie?" The new mine is finished at the Orc encampment, now named "Stronkholt", and gold production is doubled to 500 per post.

ExSPlug Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 (OOC: Forget about my previous post, didn't know the quest hadn't ended...I'll send ppl to Dolicot later, after the quest ends. The forge I'm mentioning about is the one in Avalon, I would explain more later.)An hour had already passed since we had send in another men, it was the second men already...This @#$% had started about 2 hours ago, when Kiter got sucked in by that "egg". I've gotta do something as I'm now in command..."Commander, it's already an hour since we've send another men in...""I know that! And don't call me commander!""Emm...so what do we do now, second-in-command? Shall we send in another men or?""Something must have happened to them..." thought the second-in-command, "We'll all go in! Bring the egg with us too!"The Fenrir Elites entered the cave. The cave appears to be a complex, a meeting place for a series of caverns. They had reached a crossroad. Just as the second-in-command is having trouble to decide which way to continue, he heard the sound of battle. The second-in-command rushed to the site and found...Goblins. About 150 of them. The goblins are seigeing a forge. The people guarding the forge seems to be...Fenrirs! They're the fenrir students and the 2 elites send in earlier. "We've gotta help them, commander!""How many times had I told you not to call me commander! I know we had to help them, but rushing out would be suicide...Our main advantage now is that they don't know we're here.""So what are we going to do?""I remembered that goblins are always controlled by one leader, and they'll crumble if their leader is slain...I think I've got a plan."The second-in-command had ordered 25 Fenrir Elite to be the bait. The 25 elites would rush out when the goblins rush the forge once more, hopefully this would mess them up. At the same time, the second-in-command and the remaining men would rush the Goblin Commander."Remember we've only got one chance...get ready...""Rush the forge! Rush the forge and slay them!" shouted the Goblin Commander."Now!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 (OOC:You don't even know where avalon is, The cave yoiu found the egg in wasn't a cave to avalon...)When the second-in-command slices the head off of a goblin, the sword goes right through the goblin![the goblins weren't supposed to be here] then the giblins all disapear. they were all illusions! The fenrir too! the only thing lift is one swordsman. He is carrying a sword, naked in his hand. He has all black chain-mail, and an iron helmet.. The second-in-command[plz give him a name] rushes towards him, and he...starts chanting!? Then he points a finger at the second-in-command, and the second-in-command flies backward into the other fenrir that came into the cave...=========================================Ztraag goes the other way, but it is a dead end as well. on the wall is yet another 3 x 3 grid, but this one has numbers in it...--------| | |17|--------| |11| 7|--------| |19| |--------there are also these tiles on the ground...13,3,15,5,9What does Ztraag do?=============================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord J Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 (OOC: I like your puzzle TwinHead, don't help me, I'm going to try and fgure this one out :) ) Ztraag grins and mutters something about the Dungeon Master before sitting down crosslegged on the floor. He pulls out a small notepad and a gel pen and starts making notes...While whispering computations under his breath... "Greetings Lord Elf!" calls an Orcish warrior sent out to escort Fingon and his men into Stronkholt. A few hours later, after dark beer and blood soup, T'naga sits in deep discussion with Fingon. "So you have gone mercenary then." he says, more of a statement than an answer, "Lord Fingon, as your master was always welcoming and hospitible to our Warriors, so shall we be of you and your men. We do not have work for you currently, but you are welcome to stay for as long as you like."

The_Sadukar Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Fingon turns silent for a few minuts, then he speaks again, "We thank you for hospitality. but I'm by no means a lord, I'm a mere captian. and we did indeed go mercenary , our kingdom is no more, only the people who lived at the trade post survived the slaugther, most of them moved to Dolicot, only me and my men and my turtel are still independent. but if it can please you I can tell you thet teh 3 warriors your lord sent to Encelot died defending the old King Fingolfin, if only more of uor warriors hed been orcs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I'm entering Roburth into the contest- the dwarven chiefs younger brother.He's not particulary strong, but he's very fast. No magic knowledge, and he wields an axe.Timili is discussing with Hrogg."It's possible I suppose, we weren't tracking the right one afterall. Now what do we do?"Mestif and his company manage to capture a griphon- a large one. They also find a nest of 8 eggs, that will hatch in 3 posts.Back at the village, another gold mine is found- a big one. Gold income increases to 500 each post. Current gold stock at 500.

Twin-Head Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 http://www.dune2k.com/forum/attachments/Tournament_of_Arena1.jpgRoburth has entered the Tournament.Current fighters:Roburth-The dwarven chiefs younger brother.He's not particulary strong, but he's very fast. He has no magic knowledge, but he wields a very sharp axe.Sileeshen- The Lizardfolk fighter, Sileeshen, is an exile among his peoples. He left his tribe and established his home in a swamp. A Druid(A type of spellcaster) Ventured there once, only to be slaughtered by Sileeshen. Sileeshen stole his spellbook, and studied it, eventually becoming a Druid himself... Bluushcaar- The infamous warrior of the 'Fiend'Undurr Stoneskin- This Elemental/Stone-Giant weilds a mighty great club. Undurr's life changed when he returned home to find all the members of his tribe slaughtered, clearly by humans. He went over the edge and began using his powers against the human fortresses in the nearby mountains and even out into the plains. Now bitter, he strikes back at the world.Fleshcutter-Fleshcutter is more than the average gargoyle, both in size and abilities (it was always smarter and wiser than most of its kin). It is a natural barbarian, a trait reflected in its fighting. It wanders the world feeding on humanity and other races. Though the monster possesses skills, it prefers carnage to subterfugeand so does not use them very often.Illiarnatha-Failure was not an outcome she expected to face. A shining star among the failthful of Jkath, she expected to pass her god's test easily. She was wrong, and she paid the price. And oh, what a terrible price! Exiled from her people, she wanders the world alone, seeking to take out her anger and despair on all she meets. Since failing the test, she has learned the fighting arts and specialized in archery, and now poses quite a threat to any being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord J Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Ztraag finally stands and examines the wall closely. Then, picking up the stones scattered on the floor, he places these stones in the following places:--------| 5| 9|17|--------|15|11| 7|--------|13|19| 3|-------- Then steps back to admire his work. Meanwhile, in Orhkland, a great Orcish Warrior named Ghroqmoore has arrived. Called Ghroqmoore the Bloody by his compatriots, he stands well over four feet tall and wieghs two hundred pounds - of pure black muscle. On his side he carries the great sword Hekklear, a small, but sharp machette along with two wicked daggers. But his true weapon lies in his mind. A strategic genuis, he is a decorated General of the Orcish Horde. His stats are as follows: STR: 15 AGL: 10 INT: 6 Grinning with face that made one think of everything but humor, he walks into the arena entrance and signs up for the bout. Hrogg glares at Timili and replies, "That's a good question." and turns back toward the Knight. "I fear we may have gotten off on the wrong foot." he says gruffly to the Knight, "Now tell me, who are you and what is your business in this area?" "Indeed," says T'naga with interest, "I would be most honored to here of my brothers in defense of your land."Faction Status: StrongPolitical Status: Neutral - High AlertInfantry: 310War, 20Spy, 3Sor - 2 BarraksArtillery: 51 Cannons, growing at 5 Cannons per post - BlacksmytheCivil: 45 Longhouses, 2 HallsResources: 1750 Gold, 790 Crystal - 2 MinesResearch: Crystalline Armor: 20%Construction: Tower of Wizardry, Stronkholt: 70% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 After the stones are placed, Ztraag notices a faint click. Not the click of a door unlocking, he thought. He tried the door, then the door bit his hand! It actually bit him! The stone he was pushing turned into teeth. then , after he got bit, which injured his hand, the tiles fell onto the floor, only this remained:--------| | |17|--------|15|11| 7|--------| |19| |--------It appears he had one more tile correct, as it stayed in this time...(OOC: Sorry, you got it wrong, might i ask how you got that...)================================================http://www.dune2k.com/forum/attachments/Tournament_of_Arena1.jpgGhroqmoore has entered the tournament! The fights will now start. Heres how they'll go, I'll randomly decide who fights first, then whomever is faster, will make the first move. Just post what yuo do, and i'll post what happens.
