Topal launches attacks on three more cities, one under Dissar, one under Topal, and one under Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus's and Dissar's go first, Topal's goes last. Topal is mounted upon his horse at the far end of the battlefield. "I hate being a General, cannot fight, if you do, you risk dieing, and your men then break ranks and flee..." Topal watches as his plan unfolds, an orc disguised as a demon approaches the gates with fifty human prisoners, the gates open and five hundred men walk out. Suddenly airships appear and blast the men to pieces, then the cavalry comes and mops up all who remain. Five thousand men are rescued, and that gives Topal's resistance a total of 10,600 men. Topal begins planning the attack on Xeris. | ||||
[Post the map again please :D] *Might dragonships finally arrive at the caves and set up their base of operations there.* Verthias, how is your mission going? Tell me if you need reinforcements or magical cover. | ||||
[[OOC: Ok...
I don't feel like redrawing the map, so all of those ruled by things and races are in fact "Under the control of the Demonic Empire..."
As you know, those are all who were formerly Dukes and Duchesses of those Provinces...]] | ||||
*Might stakes over the southern 4 towns.* [I can't write up how I do it because I need to go sleep XD] | ||||
Topal finishes his plans. He will lead a small team of twenty elite men into Xeris through a tunnel under the city. He will then plant several Ex-potions (Verll's special explodo potion...) that are heavily diluted throughout the city, and then one under the castle. They will go off and force the demons to send much of their men to investigate, leaving the palace open for attack, they will then rise up through a hole in the palace basement and run up to the heart, where they will deactivate it and escape the same way they came in. His team consists of Marcus, Bartimaeus, Conwell, Aesius, three elite orc soldiers, three High Elven mages, two Drakonian warriors, two Dark Elf battlemages, one monkey scout, one hobbit scout, one Eskillian warrior, three wood elf archers, and half-troll berserker, an elite strike team representing every race of the Eraborian Resistance. *** Topal silently creeps up behind a sentry and slits his throat with his steel dagger, he lays him gently down and waves his men forward, over to a pile of brush, he lifts the brush aside to reveal a hole, they all jump in and Topal covers the hole before jumping in himself. He leads the men down the tunnels for a half an hour, before stopping, he plants a potion, loosens the cork, and then continues. He plants many before finally reaching his destination, he plants a potion there, then orders the mages to create a physical shield, their High Elven native magics surround them, and a massive explosion ensues, after the smoke clears they run up into the sp*beep*ly guarded palace and a fight ensues, the two scouts fight one demon, and the rest get their own... | ||||
[[OOC: I'm bored so I will finsh my grand attack!]] Topal stabs one enemy in the chest, but he does not die. Topal then draws his dagger with lightning speed and cuts his head half off. Topal kicks the enemy off of his sword and turns to see that the battle had ended as swiftly as it began, the Eraborians suffered only one casualty, an orc whom had thought it would be a good idea to underestimate a demon. Topal continues leading his men through the palace until they reach the heart, Conwell goes forward. "I know how to stop it...so I must die...sacrifice myself for the good of Erabor...go! When I destroy the connection, the palace will explode...", says Conwell. "I understand Conwell, and I thank you", says Topal. Topal leads his strike force out of Xeris and through the tunnels, after leaving, the central district of Xeris, which then has almost all of the demons in it, explodes, a shockwave from the palace then destroys almost all of Xeris, save a few hardened buildings and some buildings at the edge, including the prison, in which the prisoners (a few of which died in the blast) numbering five thousand, escape Xeris. Most of whom are met by General Topal outside and led to the base. Upon reaching the base, which is then named Fort Conwell, Topal is placed in full command of the Xerillian Resistance. He makes a speech commending the whole resistance, and honors Conwell especially. Topal sends a message to Telcontar. "Our strike was a success with only two casualties on our side. The one million demons are not only cut off from Erabor, they are destroyed as well. It also seems as if some of the Erabor garrison was in Xeris at the time, only 250,000 are now guarding Erabor, if there was ever a time to strike, my friend, now is the time. The two casualties were my friend Conwell, whom died to deactivate the Heart of Xeris and an orc warrior named Groskol. We now number fifteen thousand, if you have any orders for me, send them..." Topal goes to his quarters and sleeps. | ||||
*Delran takes his strike force from Oceanus towards Welliar. He disguises the Imperial Legion as demons and sends them to all coastal towns. The Imperial Legion successfuly infiltrates the towns and Delran sumons the illusion force once again. The demons are drawn from the towns in pursue of the illusions, leavin the Imperial Legion to guard the towns. All prisoners are freed and Delran leads all his forces against every demon force out of the cities. In the confusion of the illusions and the fact that the Inperial Legion is still looking like demons, all enemy forces are massacred. Four coastal towns are liberated and all prissoners join Delrans forces. He then leads them to a place where he can ambush the other demon garrisons. He creates an illusion of his forces and places them in a pass. The illusion force of airships are sent to draw the demons out of every city of Welliar and bring them to the pass. One by one each garrison is massacred. After every battle, Delran makes sure that the battle field is cleared of the boddies, so that the demons could not be able to know will happen there. The plan worked because the demons, overconfident, charged directly on the illusion army and where shot down by arrows from the air and hidding places, the reamining demons were surrounded and massacred. Delran then frees all prissoners from Welliar and head towards Oceanus. All those who could not be embarked on the fighters received orders to proceed towards the coast. Delran remains with the main force of the liberated soldiers along with the Imperial Legion. He reports to High General Erunion by magic.* "Sir, I have cleared all enemy forces from Welliar. My casualties rise to 500 soldiers, but I have rescued all prissoners from all towns of Welliar. I need the navy to come and help me with the transportation off the troops." [I need the numbers off troops I have rescued. I have attacked 11 cities. The capital of Welliar included, but I do not know if it has a capital.] | ||||
[[OOC: The total troops and Oceanus is now 40,000...]] Topal's men rescue many prisoners from the prison cities after the garrison is destroyed in Xeris, it turns out that the garrisons from the cities were going there for a move to Erabor when the heart exploded, so the prisons were running with skeleton crews. Topal easily frees twenty cities in two weeks, including two capital cities. With his forces bousting 45,000, he wonders whether he should go to Erabor with his men to help in the final battle or stay in Xeris and free more men, he decides on freeing more men and frees two capitals before leaving to Erabor with his army of 55,000 troops armed with iron longswords and armored with iron plate and chainmail. He builds many boats, which takes a week, and after he has enough he has his army load up and move across the Ocean towards Erabor... [[OOC: My men will arrive at the final battle, when you attack Erabor...]] They soon reach Monkey Isles, where they attack the capital, Monkaria, and five small towns to get 65,000 men, they then head towards Drakonia, where they attack five large towns to get 70,000, and then they attack five Serpentian towns and the capital for 80,000. Afterwards they head north to Erabor to help in the grand invasion. [[OOC: These troops will arrive in the middle of combat and will turn the battle around. So please don't start recruiting like crazy...like this, because I am not even going to use these men for a long time...(until you attack Erabor...)]] | ||||
*Might attacks all the towns in his province and frees the prisoners.* [Too little time to write a lot....Septim you can write it for me if you want :D] | ||||
[Okay... that was..rather fast. After spending three days preparing, you zip around the Monkey Isles, Drakonia, and Serpentia, and free enough men to match the demons in numbers? In one post o.O?] Verthias and his troops had linked up with the local resistance of Erabor, a ragtag band of four hundred troops, some time before the Oceianian armies landed. With a combination of determined guerilla warfare, powerful magic, hit-and-run attacks, and in one case, a full frontal assault, they had taken three towns in short sucession, freeing thousands of soldiers from the jails. Their increasingly brazen attacks had drawn the attention of a significant demon force, numbering in the tens of thousands, who had come straight through the portal of Erabor to hunt the humans. The canny soldiers of the Black Guard led the demon forces on a merry chase - through hundreds of miles of woods, subjected to traps and ambushes with monotomous regularity. Not a night went by without strikes into the demon base, and the hellspawn's morale hit an all time low - but they kept following, hounding the humans through Mightaria, Farilia, Brunaria, and eventually into Erabor itself. For the last, they had to cross a huge mountain range, the peaks still heavy with snow - which Verthias used to his advantage, crushing much of the demon army underneath a clear white blanket. With their pursuers broken, his forces began to encircle Erabor itself from the west - striking at the nine cities on the way with similar tactics, and a growing army. [I note that noone bothered using my clear landing zones, and just assumed that their troops teleported into the middle of the empire. Cheers, guys -_-] | ||||
*Wraith is put n charge of the armies by Might. The army camps close to the city and in the night a watchman wakes everyone up that the Demons are massing an army. Wraith wakes everyone up and the Armies meet up on huge plains with Mountains along the Western edge and a River along the East edge. Wraith sends a regiment of elite archers some way up the mountain with a small guard. The rest of the archers are infront of the foot soldiers and mages. The foot soldiers are split into regiments and Wraith tells the plans to his cohorts. Wraith picks up a bow, lights an arrow and notches it. He takes aim and lets loose the arrow. The arrow acts as a signal to the other archers who light up their arrows and let them loose at the other army, setting the night sky on fire. The Demon army takes many losses and they try to kill the archers but then Wraith's mages cause a wall of magic around the archers, thus protecting them. The enraged Demons try a last ditch attempt and start a head on charge at the army. The Archers fall back behind the foot soldiers who create a wall of spears and swords. As the Demons get close to the Army, Wraith calls out for the men to hold their ranks while the Archers on the Mountains pick off the stragglers. Then Wraith yells and the army pushes the Demons back, slaughtering them. Wraith is among the frontlines; dodging and slashing. As dawn breaks, Wraith sees the dead Demons and humans alike. They march into the city and liberate the soldiers. *** Might calls Wraith into his Headquarters. "It has come to my attention that you lead the army with great skill and strategy." "I was just doing my job, Sir" "Well, you have done your job excellently. Therefore I am making you my General and you may have your weapon of choice." "I am well trained with Khukuri and I like my current set however if a set could be made of Adamantium or some other strong metal, I would greatly appreciate it." "Then so be it" | ||||
{No worries Verthias, Mightaria is full of plains, not many forests... That gives a lot of landing space} | ||||
*Xerxus walks over to Erunion.* | ||||
{Two slots left now. Verthias, this seems like your cup of tea...} | ||||
I will go | ||||
*Delran freshly arrived from Oceanus with his fighters, the Imperial Legion and arround 18,000 freed soldiers, adresses to Erunion.* "Sir, as much as I would love to come, I think my presence is required here on the battle field. I believe I would be a spine in your feets if I would come. If you need more men, I can send one of my captains, Captain Dark. He is a High Elf also and his powers are only slighter less than mines. I believe that General Might would need someone to help him with the attack preparations and planing, now that Xersus is coming with you." | ||||
"Keep your high elf for now, you will need him, General. I will bring one of the 501st if there are no other volunteers." | ||||
"Very well, Sir. As you command!" | ||||
*Might turns to Delran.* "Delran, I think you should go. I have this under control." | ||||
An airship appears on the horizon, followed by many others, upon it's landing Topal walks down the ramp and over to Erunion. "My best men are on their way with 85,000 troops, High General, I am not sure if you have been getting my messages, but I have assaulted and deactivated the Heart of Xeris, killed over 1,000,000 enemies in one battle with only two casualties, and I accomplished my mission of organizing the Xerillian Resistance, it's 85,000 troops are on it's way. Now I ask one thing of you. let me go with you to rescue the Emperor." [[Drakonius, Silverscar, Eskar, Xerxus (Might), Zyrike, Topal (Septim).]] | ||||
Verthias phases into existence, his armour rent with deep tears and his blade dripping with demon blood. The corrosive liquid spilled onto the floor, eating away at the flagstones, and his own powdery vein-contents spilled liberally over the ground. "I hear that there's an elite squad required... I hope i'm not too late? I got a little held up heading past Tahiba, a regiment of Greater Demons jumped me" [Dammit, people, why do you have to do things so quickly? -_-] | ||||
"Hmm.. I have a strange feeling about this... But alright. Verthias and Captain Dark can both come." | ||||
*Delran turns to Might* "It seems that the High General has decided. Also I am not trained for covert operations. My best field is Tactics and Strategies - Offense and Defense. Captain Dark was trained in the Imperial Accademy for that kind of missions. And one more general in the field doesn't hurt." | ||||
*Might nods.* "Delran, I need you to get a safe zone ready for the army so we can have a clear base of operations ,also start to liberate cities in the south." "Wraith, I want you to take 10 thousand men and try and circle around Erabor and secure a port." "I will continue liberating cities in the north." | ||||
[I need to know our location before moving into action. All I need is a province name and a location with cardinal points in that province. Or else I will suppose I am still in Oceanus and my mission will take several days. Also, Septim, I need to know what happened to the fighters you took in Xerilia as Topal.] | ||||
[Your in Mightaria....top left of it.] | ||||
[Than all I can do is liberate Essilia and then march into the north of Erabor province, and head west and than south-east, to circle arround the capital, because you said all Mightaria is liberated.] | ||||
[It is. Im working on Septims province. You should go after Verlls.] | ||||
[These were your first orders. Please study the map before giving an order. Before you gave me the location, I thought I would march into Brunaria ar Farilia. And what do you mean by a clear base of operations? So I will know what to do.] | ||||
[Wups! hehe. I was thinking of Wraith when I was giving you your orders :D Clear Base of Operations= Clear a area that can be used as a command post basicly] | ||||
[Which area do you have in mind? A cardinal point in a province is all I need. And, pls also use N-W, or S-W not only top left, or botttom right.] | ||||
[So what do you need me to do?] | ||||
[Clear all the towns south of where Septim is, Wraith. Delran, figure it outt.....I just said get a point cleared for a base.] | ||||
[[OOC: Delran, the fighters are returned with only two destroyed...]] Topal prepares himself. He puts a grappling hook, climbing tools, rations, a blanket, and his first Star of Erabor into his pack and seals it up. He then sheaths his mithril longsword by his side, a steel dagger at his boot, and a yew shortbow on his back with thirty arrows in his quiver over his backpack, he also wears dark and red clothes over his mithril armor to blend in with the demonic landscape. He approaches Telcontar. "I am ready sir." | ||||
Zryike puts on some camouflage clothes to blend in and grabs his staff and packs his bags with all the things necessary for the trip. | ||||
*Xerxus takes one look at Topal and Zryike and starts to laugh.* "You expect that to blend in?! Its fire down there and its extremely hot! It would be better to just go in there with some black pants on and huge amounts of water for you humans!" *Xerxus continues laughing at the fools.* | ||||
[[OOC: Then how am I surviving in a cave down there, it's a landscape of cooled lava with a few volcanos...]] Topal stares down the demon in a very serious manner, his cold, stone gray eyes that can pierce the most solid of souls look into the fiery eyes of the demon. The demon stops laughing and looks away, and Topal keeps his camo on. *** Septim sits in the cave, and senses a demon approaching, the demon looks into the hole and sees an old man clutching the hilt of his shortsword. "HAHA! The worthless human has been hiding in this hole the hole time!" The demon comes towards Septim, but upon his second step he can't go further, the eyes of Septim turn red, and the demon is fearful of the 'worthless' human before he disinigrates into dust.
| ||||
*Xerxus smiles at Topal.* "Your eyes look like someone burnt them with a torch." [I was going off the oblivion version of hell :D Its quite hot down there. Humans would sweat like crazy.] | ||||
"As do yours..." *** Septim rises and walks out of the cave, sensing that he finally learned the demonic secret, and that it lied in tapping power from the demonic realm. Septim walks into the prison and five demons draw their weapons and charge up their fireballs, Septim waves his hand and they crumble into dust. He walks down the hall and into a throne room, he walks forth and sees Xarxes. "Ahhhh, finally you came!", says Xarxes, "So they caught you?" "I came here of my own free will...", says Septim. "Well then, we can't have a human walking free amongst the demonic people, now can we?", says Xarxes, and he begins using a spell to knock Septim out. But the spell is resisted, heavily, and it doubles up on Xarxes, knocking him into his own throne. "Well, I see this is going to be more difficult than I thought!", says Xarxes, rising from his throne he grabs his demonic greatsword and attacks, Septim blocks with his shortsword and uses Fury of the North to match the strength of the demon. He then uses his quicker sword to slash at Xarxes's stomach. The demon roars, but keeps attacking, Septim then kicks the demon down and with increased speed stabs his blade into Xarxes and the floor, pinning him. "Well, Septim, it seems...that you...are no longer...human...", says Xarxes. "I am a human, a Drakonian, an Eskillian, and now I am a demon...", says Septim. "A powerful...one...at that", he says, "But know this...the Hellgod will...destroy you..." "I am sure he would, but if he has his choice of weapon and I have mine, I will triumph...", says Septim. Xarxes's eyes open wide, and Septim grabs his greatsword and stabs it into Xarxes's head. Septim grabs Icengard from the now lifeless shell and sheaths it. "Now how do I get out of here?" | ||||
[Try that on my guys and you will have a nice surprise 0.o] "No, Topal, my eyes are black because I choose them to be. Its no like I have that big of a choice of colors. I only have Red, Black, Gray, and White." | ||||
"It is quite childish how we argue over eye colors, and if we are going to work together on this mission we must not argue...", says Topal, he outstretches his hand to shake Xerxus, expecting a blowoff... | ||||
*Xerxus stares at the hand.* "What do you expect me to do with this, human?" [Demons really don't shake hands a lot :D His hand is like twice the size of yours + claws.] | ||||
Zryike gets annoyed at the demon laughing at makes he own heat proof clothing that looks likes Topal's. | ||||
Verthias, watching the squabbling of two of the other members of the team, laughed softly as they bicker over eye colour and clothing, sounding like a pair of girls fretting over how they look. He always did enjoy watching the lesser races interact, so he decided to let them be rather than step in. It seemed that they were nowhere near ready yet - not even half the team were - so he let his mind wander. He checked up briefly with Tassadar and Imputor, surrounding the city. They had effectively laid siege to the place, killing thousands of the defenders and focusing their attention on the western side of the city, rather than the east, where the true force would come from. Receiving nothing but good reports from his battlefronts elsewhere, he started to probe, subtly, into the demonic world to sense anything major occuring: armies marching forth, demon lords putting out their strength, a big flux, that kind of thing. What he found was not quite what he expected. Frowning, he investigated deeper; and was almost shocked by what he found. Emperor Septim was a demon? | ||||
[Verthias, I wouldn't say lesser race.....you don't even know what Xerxus is.] | ||||
[He's not a Voidie, so he's lesser in their eyes.] | ||||
[How do you know? He may just travel a lot.] | ||||
[Voidies know voidies when they see them. It's one of the rules of the universe...] | ||||
Erunion walked into the tent where all the other members of the op were. | ||||
[[OOC: He is not demon, but due to the unnaturally long time he has spent in the demon realm meditating, he has recieved the powers of a demon overlord. He is not demon, not human, he is a mixture of an Eskillian, a human, a Drakonian, and a greater demon now...]] Septim walks around the prison and collects Firengard and his adamantium armor, he also finds his Drakonian ring, a stone, and a map of the demonic plane. He then walks to a gateway and frowns, he puts the stone into a small hole and the gateway opens into a portal, Septim walks through it, knowing where he will go. Septim lands on the cold familiar floor of his palace in Erabor, he rises. "Now...the blade..." Septim walks through his palace, disinigrating any demon that sees him, and reaches the heart, he reaches his hand into the Heart of Erabor and grabs from it the Blade of Erabor. "The only thing that will drive the demons out is to kill their Hellgod...and I know just where he will be..." Septim walks to the throne room and sitting upon the throne, sits a red skinned demon with fiery eyes. "Septim, I was wondering when you'd come, why did you have to kill poor Xarxes, now he must wait a thousand years in the void before I can bring him back...", the Hellgod says. | ||||
