"I am certain you will. Return to where you came from. Oh yes, even though your crazed skeleton is still around, he will soon be silence."

I train to increae my skill with the two blades I have.

Zaradth duels two Konclavin Warriors , he subues the first by disarming him and breaking the others shield. He has a new suit of armour forged and pair of blades and is given regiment of swordsmen.

(Oh nice thanks )

"Okay troops, some of you may not know me. But that does not matter. I have fought the Hordes of Zork for a long time, and I have witnessed Zorks demise. We will fight this scum, and purge them from all the lands. They will be crushed."

I await orders from Kethouis

(await orders from the necromancer)

Tyranic Marta
"It seems you have gained some new toys Aminus , however you are still under my command. Gather your forces and prepare for the next battle."

Shas
The Queen and her Body Guards enter the Throne Room where Zardath patiently awaits her arrivle.
"Zardath , you and your new troops must destroy any nearby Horde Incampments."

"Of course great one" Leaping from the deck Animus returns to his minions and prepares them for battle

"Of course, but my Queen. I-I need some words of wisdom. How do you suggest I defeat that mad skeleton next time I see him?"

Shas
Your wisdom will guide you Zardath , Aminus will break like the many foul cretures ... he controls. I now must attend to more riturals.
As Zardath leaves the room he wacths one of Kethousis elite guards remove the Skull of Zork from the wall
"I told you"

Tyranic
The Skeleton crew begin orgienizing into ranks on the lower deck.

Animus leaps into the air finding solace in the hills, kneeling he preforms the ritual which keeps him sane and... happy, taking a small tiny knife from his rib holsters. Drawing the knife over the dirt in several sweeping arcs he sketches the shape of a pentegram, standing inside it he begins to chant a litigy to Zork, praying for the power to defeat his enemies, and to compel the voices in his mind to scilence for a time

The Runic symbol begins to glow a dark green which causes small dark green streaks to spread into the ground.

Standing to his full height Animus draws his sword and slams it into the dirt,right in the center of the pentegram, immediatly arcs of lightening flow from the corners of the symbol into the weapon

Cn i join

Yes anyone can join

Aminus fells the power flowing through him , he roars and takes flight returning to the ship.

(pulling his sword up as he goes)

Landing of the deck of the ship he ensures that the warriors are lined up for battle. (need orders feeling lost)

Character Profile
Name: Messor Lupos

Personalty: Hardy, brawler with an imaginative way of expressing himself with his claymore and his personal adaption of his fists so he can hit things without his fists breaking off.

Story: Now an undead skeleton Messor was a brutal fighter even by that of orc standards before his death. Feared for his sheer beserker rage and lack of mercy on the feild of combat. He was known to hack enemeis and allies alike that steped into his path during battle. (BASERK RAAAAAGE)

Past Life: Was an Orc beserker of of a dwindling orc faction that was still fighting for its control of its territory and steadly losing. What turned this orc was not the forces of the dammed but the betrayal of another orc faction leading to the slaughter of Messor's faction. Because of this his wish for vengance draged him back to the plain of the living.

Equipment: Claymore, hand ulterations that go from hads to elbow formed from the melding tribbons of adamant to his bones. With a pair of tatterd leather pants and boots, his bones are held together with a patchwork of adamant plates that cover his many fracturesa and breaks
Motto: Less talk more hacking
Race:Ork
Male

"Then we shall go and do your bidding..."

Tyranic Marta
The Necromancer walks over to Aminus
"We set sail in the mourning and tonight we shall have a feast!"

Cruor
By the way what faction are you?

Shas
Zardath and his men leave the city and head towards the Horde encampments

i would say zork, cause of the whole undead skeleton thing

Your right Marta.
Here are your options Cruor
Messor and his brother skeleton warriors stand in rank on the ships deck. Each armoured and ready for war.

(ic) "Do you not mean you will have a feast? we cannot eat anything"

"On the souls of our enemys my friend."
The Necromancer heads to his personal cabin

Animus laughs his slightly high pitched but throaty chuckle, he thinks "you have no idea necromancer", Turning to his warriors Animus booms out, "Open the soul flasks!!!"

The Skeletons enjoy a small privlage in a boat load of difficultys. They drink they drink the dammed souls of their enemys while those with greater powers devouer fish in their thousands and begin to sing a sea song from ancient times. Nearly every ship in the harbour also celebrate aswell.

"Make it quiet."

Shas
The first encampment is guarded by light armoured skeletons and trolls.

"Take them out silently. I will search for the leader inside."

The Group steathly infiltrate the base , destroying the two guard towers. It appers their leader is a Necromancer.

(Hay should i just wright an intro? What options? And im in zork)

now that he has your char sheet hell probably intro for you have patience cruor, read the rp while your waiting

(K will be ready for it)

Animus sees movement through the tents, guards moving then collapsing of their own accord, as the removals (you cant call them deaths) get closer he sees the shapes of shadowy figures the height of Konclave warriors moving in the gloom, "ALL SKELETONS, TO ME!!!!! ENEMIES ARE IN THE CAMP"

Cruor
The Skeleton and his regiment begin their defence of the camp from the Konclave.
Marta
Aminus decends into the Koniths ranks finding the leader is Zardath.

Leaping from Konclave warrior to warrior he eventually finds Zardath, Animus sits back on his haunches and for the first time draws his sword, "we meet again sorceror"

Im going to wait till Shas returns.

"Ahh, finally, good sport. Pleasure as always. See you are more powerful than you were last time. May be an advantage. But I should'nt worry myself."

Aminus is impailed by Zardaths two blades , he then pulls both out shataring the rib cage of Aminus.

"Ha! You will never best me!"

AS before the ribcage repairs itself, the pieces flowing back into place, Animus barely flinches, then he launches his offensive, using the tactical knowlege inside his head he swings at Zardaths head but changes course at the last minute heading for his ribs, the weapons clash however now Zardath is unbalanced and Animus kicks him backwards into a pole.

Zardath growls and charges Aminus , casting vile spells of dark magic.

Animus rolls out of the way letting the roiling spells cascade past, one however strikes him in the wing and leaves a great gaping scar, which automatically begins to heal, laughing deeply Animus picks up a javelin from the ground and throws it bodily at Zardath

Messor seeing his leader enter the fray, works himself of into a frenzy of hacking and slashing first to meet there end is a Konclave not paying attention find himself missing his lower half a mate of his also finds himself Developing split personality being cut down the middle head to pelvis. While moving to his next victim, Messor picks up a cowering ally and throws him into the defence to opening up a gap.

Zardath, without the slightest fault, leaps gracefully out of the way, and charges a vile spelll towards Animus' head.

Then he calls upon the spirits of the dead to come and aid him in combat.

Shas , Curor and Marta
Zardaths spell is sucsesful , causing Aminus to lose his balence. Messor soon charges the unwary Zardath.

As animus regains his balance he starts to repel some of the Konclave warriors around them.

As messor charges he drops his sholder trying to unbalence zardath, then after contact he goes to a sweeping upper cut with his claymore

Zardath weakend falls to the ground
"This... battle is ...only the begning!"
Zardath quickly slashes at Aminus befoe teleporting away

Animus calmly blocks the blow and trys to stab Zardath but his weapon only imprints into the ground.

"Damm him! But no matter , slaghter these dogs!"

(who are you talking as there?)

anyhoo,

(bic)
Animus Turns to the Konclave warriors, Messor at his side, the Konclave warriors seem to falter atthe sight of the noble orc skeleton and the lethal but streamlined animus

Sorry forgot to say who it is
Aminus grins at the cowering Konith Warriors
"Run away!" Shouts a arrmoured Konith knight , terrified at the apperance of Aminus
"Yes scury away cowards!"

Animus leaps in an almost predatory movement, ripping of the head of the warrior and pushing his headless body to the ground, Animus's feet on the warriors shoulders. Landing he darts his sword through one Kroniths throat and then pushes it to the hilt, a savage ripping motion splits the warriors skull through the middle. Twisting on the spot he punches clean through one enemies chest, his heart is carried out the back, still pulsing, clutched in Animus's fist.

Following Animus's lead Messor picks up a droped sword and hurels it at a fleeing Konith warrior then swinging into combat takes the legs out from another, while finishing him with a clean beheading he also releaves another of his wepon by removing his right sholder. Soon following this everything turns to a blur for messor as his frenzy exclerates into a bluring rampage.

Aminus and Messor dive away the remaining Konclave Warriors.

"I could have finished him, but let him have a chance. Soon he must come to an end. He will be dealt with after that skeleton. Seems he is not so powerful after all."

Two Konclave Houner guard apper.
"The Queen wants you to return to the City, Now. No questions."
"Was that a threat"
"I said move!"
The two guards point their weapons at Zardath

Animus, is shocked, somehow the magicians fancy trick hit him, going to the necromancer he requests an audience

"It appers you were hit by a , disperce spell. It will heal within time."

"indeed, i need to be able to block them, my weapon, can you imbue it with defensive properties?"

"Yes young one , be pactient."
The Necromancer adds severel unholy liquids to Aminus's blades

"Fair enough. But I need one thing. That skeleton I fought, he is powerful. I need new abilities to destroy him , and the lackeys that follow."

"We do not care for your problems! MOVE!" The lead Guard pushes Zardath forward

(something has occurred to me, theres only one problem with this kind of gaming, nothing takes you by surprise.... )

(BIC) Animus thanks the necromancer and rejoins his troops.

Sorry Marta , when Shas aint here its difficult to make good fights but ive got somthing up my sleave
The Konclave citadel in the Capital Elven city shakes , green lightning blasts down from the sky as black thunder clouds emerge. Screems of unholy beasts and creatures are heard along with the sound of druming and metal boots crushing bones. Zorks Necromancers from the North chant unholy prasies to their dark god. Rain patters against the cold metal armour of the masses of elite Undead emerging from the Elven tombs.
"He has returned , we shall serve , He has returned , We shall serve!" Necromancer chant
Aminus takes to the sky to watch the stream of green energy blast out of the Konclave citidels main spire.
How's that?

hmmm, looks epic

Aminus watchs over the hundreds of Undead marching towards the Elven city

Swooping down over them he lets out a great warcry exaulting his great god in the eyes of the minions

From the hights of a great hill, Messor obsevers the great undead army amaising and moving of towards the great beam of light. While watching animus sweep above messor moves of to find a fight and see what little prizes await.

Sweeping down to the hill which Messor is walking down, he lights gently next to him, for all the world a ghost with wings. "You fought the mage, and you were not destroyed... you have some strength about you, i could use your help"

Messor is inducted into Aminus's personal army structure , while the armies of Undead arrive on the outskirts of the Konith city.

Animus's guard with Messor now attached to them are arrayed infront of them, to each he gives a shoulder plate inscribed with runes of warding, "These were given to me by our lord Zork many years ago, they will ward you from the attentions of unfriendly necromancers, if you do not deliberatly get their attention they will not notice you, they will not however sustain much damage before they dissapate so try not to break them"

After handing these out he gives them their orders. "We have been instructed by our lord necromancer to infiltrate the enemies main fortifications, the great kep in the middle of the city, once inside we are to begin destroying the internal mechanisms of anything we can find, gates dorrs etc, once finished we are to break out forcably from the keep and allow our warriors access, if this means that we have to hold the doors until they get there then that is what we will do."

Messor says it "simply we scale the walls animus or do you have anyother ways of entry posible? couse personaly i just want to kick down the door couse my blades just an itcing to get a swinging

"Look at those walls, they are covered in warriors, now im all for fighting but if we go up there we arnt coming down, i suggest waiting till the army hits the walls with siege ladders and clears it, then we make for the keep"

"Get moving you scum!" Screems a Necromancer of Zork as Skeleton siege crews load their catapults and Siege Balliscas. Skeleton armies decend apon the gates of the Konith city, still shaken and broken from the earlier ruptures and sorcereys of the resructing Zork.

"Fine, I need to speak to the Queen anyway."

(Btw what lvl am I pls?)

You are level 4 and so is Marta
The Two houner Guard wacth the grand blast of lightning hiting the Citidel
"It has been done"
They turn and impail Zardath , throwing his body in a dicth
Your not dead. Plus this is set before the Horde attack.

"Argh... how... ?" groaning in pain, I crawl onto my front, my vision fuzzy, reaching out for any willing to help.

1 Hour before the Hordes of Zork attack
A Necromancer looks down at Zaradth , he grabs his hand and drags him over to Horde incampment.

Still groggy, I look up at the Necromancer...

"No..."

As the Horde attacks the Knoclave fortress
Zardath lies on a rotten wooden tabel , he aches with pain. The Necromancer returns with a Black Ancient book entitled "Liberia: Zorkoth"
"I shall heal you young one , Zork demands it."

"What? Zork... he... is evil. Why?"

"More Lies and tall tales young child of the Undeath."
The Necromancer chants a grand arcane spell using the energy around him to heal Zardath

"Thank you. Tell me, why did Zrk want me to be healed? What is happening? My own Elite guard attacked me!"

"Go to Hernos , he is a Black smith and will supply you with weapons."
As Zardath leaves the Necromancers tent he hears another voice
"I told you"

"Be silent."

I head out, to Hernos.

A bulcky Skeleton Drake carrying a large Iron Hammer.
"I guess your Zardath?"

(my timeline) After the seige ladders go up and the wall is cleared Marta and his warriors scale the walls.. or at least his warriors scale the wall, marta just flys, anyhoo, the warriors and their august leader quickly clear a route to the keep. Using a sally port. the squad enters the keep and begins to carry out their mission.

Aminus and his troops sneek through the shadowy halls of the Konclaves fortress. They then find a massive Court yard were it appers the Konclave have splintered into several new factions.

"I am. I hear you are to supply me with new eapons. Please give me two swords of some kind, to duel wield, as that is my speciality."

"Remember Im hear If you need me."
The giant Skeleton hands Zardath two black swords

"Thank you."

I return to the Necromancer.

(ic) directing his squad across the shadows of the courtyard in two arcs to begin their work, Animus follows the one heading left, with Messor and two others, the other arc, is the other 8 of the squad, they will desroy hinges on doors to prevent them being held against us, my sqaud heads for the gates of the keep, always keeping to the shadows.

Shouts are over heard by Aminus as Konith battle each other in a civil war. Each side blocks the door hinges.

Nodding to Messor, Animus quietly begins taking foes from the outskirts of the fight and killing them silently, Messor doing the same, slowly they work their way to the core of the battle.

The Konith are quickly picked off , allowing Aminus and Messor ascses to the gate controls.

Animus and messor begin to open the gates, while they are cranking open the other two warriors defend the skeleton and his ally

The Rotten wooden gates are crancked opean by the Ifiltrated Undead , allowing the armies of Zork to enter the fortress.

Seeing the gates give way to the army of Zork and them start to enter. Messor turns to the aid of the two gaurds holding of the konclaves steping infront of them messor yell for them to push the sacks back, swing at a konclave messor gets his sword wedged partway threw the cut, a koncave seeing it advaces on him. Doging a head swipe messor sends a solid hook with his reinforced fist unbalenceing his apoinent he then beats him sentless and finshing it of with its own sword leaving it naild to anopther behind it. Turning back to the sack thats got a hold of his weapon he grabes it by its belt and heaves it over himself into a group of advanceing koncaves, flating them to the ground while disloging his weapon. Looking round he looks round for animus or another fight he startes to wade his way through enermys working into a blur creating a sea of red.

(Can I please have my post?)

Shas
The Necromancer watches as Zardath enters his tent
"Boy I have a task , which will benifit Zork and what remains of you Konclave. This alliance is only temporery remember that."
Marta and Curor
Massive regiments of Skeletons enter the city , spliting into many diffrent groups before disspering into the city.

"Of course. What is it you will have me do?"

"Gather what loyal Konclave forces you can and go to Mount Doom. I will await you their."

(ic again) Animus follows the crazed skeleton into the fray, killing all in his path., Animus's sword begins to vibrate and glow again, the pressure builds in his head but Animus focus's it into the blade imbuing the weapon with crackling energy

I nod my head, and set out on my journey.

Shas
Zardath first finds severel Konclave warriors fighting a Houner Guard captain.

After a gore splattering battle messors stops swinging his bladed and takes a look around seeing that the equivalent of survivors was the body’s still twitching. Deciding it was time to find if there were any small groups of konclave holding up and if not head to the enemy leader home.

(ic) Animus's hand snaps out grasping messors cracked shoulder, "wait, we need the guard to fight these enemies"

Turning Messor looks raseing his claymor seeing animus he lowers it saying nothing, but does not lossen eye contacted from him.

Animus claps him on the shoulder and nods slightly, calling to his guard he yells "Come my friends, the enemy awaits!!"

Konclave troops battle the newly arrived Horde troops in the massive defencive Court Yard. The Konclave are splintered by Civil War.

Animus sees the infighting in the Konclave warriors and calls his own guard away from the battle, "let us go around them, hit the side of their force, and let us work our way through them, driving a wedge into the heart of the battle, then we shall figght our way through the doors and attack their inner sanctum, let the other fighters deal with the forces here, or whats left of them after their sself destructive battle."

The Infiltration force breacks through the confused and unwary Konclave guards. Aminus grabing their leader by the neck and tearing him apart. The Inner sanctums gates are guarded by Konclave Elite guard armed with shields and Halbards.

Animus grins his fleshless smile and moves forwards his wings flapping slightly to keep his balance, he draws his sword in a lightning arc cleaving through the haft of one of the halberds, whipping the weapon up and looping it around he shears the warriors shield clean through. His mad giggle rising again he kicks the warrior into Messors path..

Messor rasies his axe and decapitates the helpless Konclave Warrior , while the other chage Amnius. Their leader grabing his leg and draging him to the ground.

Seeing the warrior flying at him he just steps to the sided grabs the konclaves rist and carves him in half. still with a hold on the upper half he swings it into the remaining elet guard knocking two down.

(he doesnt have an axe )

Animus calmly cleaves the poor sods arms from his body and does a forwards flip over the leader, using his wings as aid, when he is upside down over the leader Animus's sword cleaves through the warriors skull, felling him instantly

(I have a claymore )

Sorry Cruor Defaeco
The Two crush a unwary Konclave guards skull with a single hit before breaking down the doors of the Inner sanctum....

(what do we see mate?)

The chamber is picth black exept for the centre where green lightning crakels and burns , the bones of many warriors lie around the alter of lightning. The ground shakes as the ground cracks a second great strike of lightning slams into the ground knocking back Aminus and Messor. A dark green shadow emerges from the lightning
"I have returned!"

Animus catches the lightening bolt on his sword, the weapon absorbs the bolt and neither of them are knocked back, while he struggles with the power and force of the continued spell he yells out "Messor give me some light!!!"

"do not worry Aminus it is me , Zork."

"Then why are you attacking me allfather?"

He didn't attack you Marta.

Messor seeing a torch light grabs it and sets a nearby tapestry alight.

You two have proved yourself over the millions of minions that I have under my command , but a grand task awaits you. The Grand Specter will rise soon."

"Warriors, destroy him!"

I join the fight, and start to dispatch my foe with ease.

The Elite Guard growls and grabs Zardath by the neck before slaming his face into the ground

I turn to him.

"Strong, ar'nt we?"

I grab him and push him off me. Then I jump to my feet, and launch myself at him with my sword raised to kill.

Zardath kills the Houner Guard by throwing his sword straight through the eye slot of the Guards helm. The lifeless body falls to the ground acompanied by cheers of support from the other Konclave Warriors.

"Warriors, I am on a special mission and I need you to help me. We are to go to Mount Doom, and we must hurry."

"To Mount Doom we go!" chant the Konclave warriors as they walk past the Chaos of the battle field

The bolt of lightening, why did you fire it at me?

"I am sorry but the energy relesed by my restruction caused bolts of lightning to blast around the room . But I am only partaily restructed , I reqiure a larger sacrafice to be fully restructed."

"This is acceptable, do you wish for your power returned to you great ruler? The allfathers power is in me and if you need it it can be returned"

Animus slams his sword into the ground, cracking the stonework and inmedding the long blade into the rock

"If my full power is to be returned You must go to Argent Glacier and release my essence from it. It will be a long and demanding quest but it must be completed!"

"The battle is fierce. We must hurry if we are to complete our mission. Double time it!"

The Konclave Warband are ambushed by Konclave loyaists
"For Kemouth! prasie the Specter!"

"This is not the time! Why are your fighting your own brethren?! Where is the point in it?! You are all confused, and there is only one enemy here! Zork!"

"The Queen and Zork shall fall! and the Spectre shall rise!"
The "Loyal" Koncalve charge Zardath and his warriors

I dodge thier attacks with ease, before striking decisive attacks, and I move in for the killing blow.

"Then so be it!"

(ic) Of course allfather, i will go, Messor will you accompany me? my guard will not be able to follow on the glacier...

Shas
The Loyalists are cut down quickly alowing the Renegades to escape
Marta
"He will Aminus. Now go leave this place and head back to the harbour."

Animus rises, "as you wish allfather."

"None shall stay my wrath... Messor, we must leave"

And with that enigmatic statement Animus butchers all in his way out of the city, and as he and messor leave behind him it burns

"Make haste, we must get to Mount Doom!"

I start to run to my objective, signalling for my warriors to folow, but still as alert as always.

Tyranic Marta & Shas
The Skies of the Elven realms are blackened by the dark sorcery’s of Zork. One the bloody fields of battle lie the broken bodies of both the Warriors of Zork and the Konclave , the Dark Necromancers and their servants like vultures. Gathering the bodies of the fallen like carrion. Zardath and his loyal forces climb the ruined structures of Mount Doom while the dark armies of Zork begin their conquest of the ancient Forges of Mount Doom.

"Keep moving, my Warriors."

I think to myself, "I do hope he is there, I do not wish to be tricked."

Dark shapes emerge from the top of the mountian , each winged and two headed. 3 Grand Dragons of fire fly into the sky and begin seting alight the area around the mountain.

Animus and Messor make their way back to the harbour, a harsh whispered prayer to Zork as they swiftly board a vessel that can take them across the seas.

The Ship's crew begin loading it's Baliscas and cannons before leaving. It's captian is extremly pleased to have these highly favoured Warriors aboard the ship.
"So Aminus were will be heading? my crew will fight to the end for you and my Necromancers will be summomoning more reienforcements and troops soon."
"We little Necromancer head to the Icy caps of the World , were the fortress of lord Zork awaits!"

"Do not dissapoint me, we need to get there as fast as possible, (he lies here, the true plans of Zork need not be known by his lesser minions) We are going to reinforce his warriors there, there are reports of other undead clans attacking our fortress there."

"Hurry! We are very close!"

I think to myself,

"He has to be there. He said he will meet me up there."

Shas
As Zardath and his soldiers clear away rubble blocking a door way they enter , finding a chamber full of black books of sorcery and magiks.
"Welcome Zardath , I had some doughts you were coming but you have proved me wrong."

"Warriors, at ease. Take a break. Now, why do you want me here?"

"At the tip of this grand Mountain lies a pit of fire greater than any other. It is said if one's will power was great enough they could travel into the pit of fire into the Tombs of enternity. The final resting place of the greatest Warriors ever born."

(me?)

As the Pirate fleet of Aminus grows bigger it soon atracts the atention of the Orc and Mutant Mercenry fleets...

(ic) The captain of Animus's flagshp, remaned The Bones of Fate, approached Animus's booding form at the figurehead, "Animus, the fleets behind us are closing, we will soon have to deal with a full scale battle"

Animus turns to the captain, "We will repel them and you will reanimate them to join our fleet, all will be well necromancer, do not worry."

"Hmmm, do you want me to go there?"

Shas
"You willl see that and see that you do not falter , I dont have Time to waste"
The Necromancer dissipers in a flash allowing a strange trap door to take his pace.

Marta
"Sir their getting nearer , it appers their preparing to board us!"
The panacking Skeleton points too the Orc raider ships boarding parties forming

"Warriors, stay here and control the area. I am going to the top."

First though, I inspect and open the trap door.

As Zardath makes his way throught the strange trap door he enters a black ancinet tunnel , contsructed by a unknown creture
"You have disturbed me , you will be my feast!"

(ic) "Do not be worried captain, i will handle this."

Animus walks forwards to the helmsbrige and onto the railing, spreading his wings he takes a migthy jump and flys into the air, flapping into the sky, arrows fly up from the orc ship trying to intercept but Animus dips one wing and goes into a roll avoiding the arrows, then snaps the wing back out, stabilizing his flight, he flys in a arc to his left, going oer the ship, when he is directly over it he pointshimself upwards, closes his wings and throws his legs backward, he goes into a reverse dive, but snaps his wings out at the last second, landing amidst the orcs on deck.

Standing his lidless gaze hits the first orc and he chattrs out his challenge "Come on then orkses, time to die"

The Grey skined Brutes roar in fury
"This unholy beast must die!" there are screems of aproval by the other Orcs as they charge Aminus in their masses.
Yes Orcs in this RP are Grey.

(all good )
(ic) Animus draws his sword, arcs of corusating enrgy crackle along its edge, the weapon smashes through the first orks chest, spraying gore every where an dparting the beast's spine. As the weapon follows its gory arc Animus rolls, wrenching the weapon clear and avoiding the swing of a massive axe.

The glowing sword sweeps up, cleaving anouther orc from groin to neck, a furthur upward wrench parts the orcs head from his severed body. Animus turns, swaying out of the way of anouther orks axe, sweeping his blade in gory arcs, he dismembers the ork, cleaving his shoulders in twain and butchering his way through the beast's thighs.

"I would like to see you try."

I press onwards.

Tyranic Marta
Aminus battles the remaining Orcs, but soon comes face to face with the Orcs Chieftain. He rides on a massive Crocodile headed Boar. He carries a massive Bone axe and Wooden Shield, Elven charms and Skulls adorn his neck.
“You dare defile my Ship and you dare to kill my Crew! I will have your head as my cup!”
Shas
Zardath is thrown against a wall as a large insectoid Creature, its large maw covered with Fangs.

"Ahh, greetings. You are in my way. Prepare to die."

I draw my swords, and engage the insect in battle.

Also I quickly observe my surroundings for anything useful in this fight.

The Tunnel is a small and barren , only the occasional web giving it any diffrences. Zardath's blades slice of the front Manibals of the Insect.

Animus steps backwards from the chieftan giving himself some room. "this crew and yourself include will serve me and by extention my master, you have no hope of defeating the Avatar of Zork in single combat ork, come down from your fancy steed and fight like a real warrior, rather than a coward."

"You call me Cowardly? you stupid fiend! You will die by my Axe!"
The Orc quickly dissmounts and slams his Axe into Aminus's lower gut.

The axe is parried by Animus's sword and then the blade flicks around and stabs at the orcs shoulder

The Orc enraged grabs Aminius by the neck before lobing him into the lowerdecks of the ship. He mounts his Beast and follows the trail of destruction towords Aminus.

(WINGS!!!! )
(ic) Animus lands on his feet after allowing the orc to toss him, then he hides in the shadows and waits, when he sees the mounts head he leaps up with his wings and slices it of whilst simoutaneously landing on the deack and diving out of the way of that nasty axe, then he does a flip and lands facing the mountless orc.

"You dare , it took me years to breed that beast. Now Ill just use you as a coat rack!"
The Orc roars in fury and discards his shield and arming himself with a two handed axe. He roars a prasie to the Orc gods and charges Aminus.

Animus contemptuosly steps sideways, parrying the axe and sweeping his blade through the orcs neck,

(Tyranic, I hate to say it, and I'm not sure if anybody else feels it, but you are never actually taking what comes to you. For instance, when Blood Reaper said the axe slams into your lower gut, you said that you merely parried it. Not sure if I am right, but normally when an Ork wields an Axe, especially if it is a chieftan, it would be a very big and strong axe, and quite hard to merely "parry". Also, he said that it had already been slammed into your gut, and that you can't do anything about it. What you should really do is say that you "attempt to" do something, and that the GM decides if you are successful. Rather than saying that you do it. Sorry, I just had to say it.)

I go onwards to unleash a flurry of lightning fast attacks on the creature, and attempt to severe its head from its body.

Shas is quite right , you may be level 4 but a Orc Chieften is quite capable of smashing your ead in and Their also quite tough.
The Orc Chieften doges the blow and slams his axe into the rotten wooden floor causing it to collapse.
Shas
The Creature is blinded and retreats back into the mountain , but it will return. Zardath enters a small chamber filled with bones and armour.

(parry can mean anything from blocking the blow to ducking it, its just a general term for avoiding damage but think about it, thats effective ly killing me, my char wears no armour and if he cuts me in half (which that would do) then im screwed because he would have plenty of time to stomp my head, just pointing this out, and if you need me to explain what the parry could hav been think me steepin gout of the way/ jum,ping/ doin a flip over the poor guy using my wings to do so, there are a billion ways for me to avaoid the damage from the axe, when i say "block" then i mean im using my sword)

anyhoo

(BIC) Animus calmly jups backwards hovering in midair as the orc tumbles into the hold,

(Not just that, I also mean you have to say that you attempt to do something, as otherwise you are effectively GMing yourself. Hate to have a moan, but I just feel this way.)

I walk onwards, as time is not on my side. I must hurry.

Marta
As the Orc tries to decapitate Aminus he is impailed and thrown into the ships mast.
Shas
The Beast breaks through the right wall , hungry for vengence.

(Marta
As the Orc tries to decapitate Aminus he is impailed and thrown into the ships mast.)


this makes no sense, he goes from smashing his axe into the ground then hes trying to decapitate me?

I'll redo it
As the Orc slams his Axe into the wooden floor of the ship he drops into the lower decks , runing from Aminus. But he is quickly cornered and impailed before being slamed into the ships mast , breaking the Warbands Moral. As desprate Orcs attempet to get to the life boats , Skeleton Crossbow Regiments and Archers cut them down. Orc Wizards and Shamans opean portals and escape in fear of inslavement the remaning Orcs are restructed by Necromancers.

(chrs and yeah sorry shas, still not quite used to it, it takes a while, not to mention im gmimg my two other rp's so i dont switch over properly sometimes)

Animus returns to the ship, holding a loose rib in place as it heals, "you see captain, nothing to worry about."

"He must off been a tough one , but anyway the Mutant ship has changed course and our navigators say their returning to their fortress. I don't suggest following it as we have to get to the Ice fortress of Zork. The Orc reinforcements have proved to be useful as their sheer strentgh and brutality allows them to crush and destroy our enemys."
A Older Elven Necromancer comes rushing over , panicied he bows to Aminus
"My lords Ice Elves aproch from the North , around 3 Frigates and a Crusier."

Mages?, keep the ship away from them, send the damaged new ship forwards with men in the lower decks when the elves investigate the ship and are close to it we will go round the back and hit them from behind, others in our fleet need to circle the area and prevent them from running, and two or three need to get closer and pin the crews of the ships down with arrows and ballista bolts whislt we get close, meanwhile the men in the lower decks will use the elves who go down to investigate as living shileds and will board the frost elven ship, when this vessel gets close i will lead the charge onto the cruiser, the frigates need to be penned in and purged of life once this has been achieved we must use the ships to block the cruiser from escaping

(No worries Tyranic, I can understand its difficult when you are in quite a few RP's. I mean, hell, I really should not be in all the ones I am in. )

"Still ready to die, are we?"

I unleash a flurry of attacks, and I show this creature my fury.

Marta
The Elven ships begin to board the ruined Orc ship , their Looters and Mages wishing to see what inhabits this wreack.
Shas
The Beasts head simply falls apart in a bloody second.

(ic) Meanwhile the other ships silently float around the elven ships, taking flanking positions as my flagship appears as a ghost behind them, but still invisible through the sea fog. The Skeletons in the hold stay silent and wait for the perfect time to take their foes as living shields.

Due to the lack of the players the RPG will be closed till further notice. Please feel free to recruit more players and sugest changes to the RPG.

The Elves are ambushed by the Skeletons are quickly cut down. The Scouting party aboard the Orc ship find themselves beset by Undead. The Main Elven Cruiser is soon boarded by Aminus and his elite regiment of halbarders.
“So you think to board my ship? Undead dare to set foot upon the Icy wrath?”
A massive spire of ice burst from the sea.

She ship swerves slightly and avoids the spike of ice, but Animus leaps of the deck and flaps a couple of times, landing directly infront of the offending mage, "Die wretch" Animus draws his sword in a lightening arc sweeping the blade towards the mages undefended head.

(ic) messor seeing animus bored the curser and attack the mage there. messor picks up a graple and hudles it onto the curser swining over he joins animus swing his claymore threw two beginer elven mages and then drives back the mages gaurd that is in combate with Animus

(try to post with less spelling mistakes, run your post through a word document first maybe?)

Since I dont currently have a Word document hear , I have to wait till I have acces to one. I'll post the next mission tommorow.

k... i meant cruor but ok

The Mage is killed instantly by the blow , Aminus's blade cracking his skull and removing the tip of his spine. The Mage falls to the ground.
"This is very good Aminus but we have some problems."
The Necromancer points towards a massive Mutant fleet.

I smirk at the easy victory I gained, before moving onwards to my objective, smiling all the way.

Shas
Zardath comes to a large pair of giant Stone gates carved by the Magma of the Mount.

I walk up to the gates, and move forwards to see if I can open them.

(Will work on spelling)

The doors do not buge , but a screem come from behind the door.

"Who is there!?"

Animus walks forwards his sword glowing brightly, his eyes begin to shine in the fog and the necromancer sees a powerful glow rippling from animus's skeletal form. A deep resonant voice ripples from Animus's mouth, still his own, but layered with timbre and intonation that noone could achieve without huge levels of magic flowing through them.

"They will all die, and they will join us,"

His fist clenches in the air, "I need a mace"

Marta
A Skeleton Warrior hands a Large Mace to Aminus
Shas
"Please help me! Theres a key behind the roc..."
A large slicing noise is heard

"NO!! Are you still alive!? Speak to me! Damn it!"

I look behind a rock for the key

Shas
Zaradath finds a long key made from the bones of rats and mice. He inserts the key into the lock and opens the Door. He enters a large room with a large table in the middle.

I edge over to the table, observing my surroundings, and looking out for any hostiles.

"Hello? Are you still here?"

Somthing moves in the corner of the room , its body is massive and covered in spikes while its maw is dripping with acid.

"Oh well this just makes my day a lot better!"

I draw my weapons and prepare to face the huge beast, rather annoyed that I never get any peace.

Animus takes the mace in his hand hefting it, he nods, drawing his sword he begins to flap into the air, and from his eyes the souls of those trapped in his head begin to pour out and into the mace, the sword in his hands glows brightly then shatters, the mace vibrates and runes appear on its shaft and head, animus drops the shattered sword into the sea and its scabbard follows it, his mace glows and vibrates then settles,

above the ship can be seen a deffifiyingly dark figure, the glow subsided, tattered wings holding him aloft, in his hand a wickedly morphed mace, the shaft seems to have medled with the souls of those inside it, and the head has mophed into the rictus of a skull.

Animus's head is shrouded in shoadow, and his voice ripples deeply, "The avatar has awoken, now his wrath shall be shown, for the allfather, pro totus abbas"

Animus begins to flap towards the mutant fleet



(The change has no effect apart from aesthetics, from now, Animus will be known as the Avatar, Animus is effective absorbed into the power of Zork, but like i said, no change, the mace has the same properties as the sword, but it suits the character better)

(Hmm no sneaky godding here? Have you made yourself more powerful or what?)

no not at all, purely aesthetic

(Hmmmm ok, I believe you)

Marta this is a bit over powered. You may draw power from Zork but not All of it. I think I'll give Zardath a bit of a bost.
The Mutant fleet quickly begins to disitergrate as newly arrvied reiforcements flank them as Aminus leads his charge.
Shas
The figure rasies its hands and somthing terrible happens. The Crypts and tombs that dot the room break open as huge Skeleton Warriors weilding two handed axes.
"Time to break another one isant it?"
Zardath charges and jumps onto the back of one of them before decapitating and crushing the skull with his blades , he then impails another before slicing the others arm of.

"Fools, you cannot kill me!"

I turn to the bigger threat which is the beast.

"But thoose were , they were! DIE!"
The Strange creture unleashes lightning and fire bolts against Zardath.

I roll to the side,m and dodge them, before rushing over to the beast, charging my two swords with magical energy, and unleshing them upon the beast.

Shas
The Beast grabs the two blades before they hit the creture. it pushes them away and grabs Zardath by the neck , it tries to crush Zardaths head but is disimbowled.

cmon guys seriously its ONLY aeshetic, no power bonus AT ALL far out how many times hve i said that

It's fine Marta , but remember your still Level 4. I'll also be changing the ranking system.

absolutely, i just wanted my dude to be slightly more epic without actually getting stronger

anyhoo

(BIC) Animus lands on the deck of the ship and his mace begins to swing, every loop and impact spelling death for one of the mutants

"Hmm, seems you were bested by yours truly. Incompetent."

The Mutant command ship soon becomes a bloody battle ground between Aminus and a Mutant Troll boss
Troll Boss
Level 4
Wargear
Big Spikey Axe
Big Mutant armour
Cross Bow
Abillities
Stomp: The Creture slams his giant fists into the ground
Smash: The Troll smashes his weapon into his enemy
Shas
The Ground begins to shake as the main door of the room bursts open
"The Undead defile the temple of fire with their heritical actions! kill them all!"
Fire Drakes
Level 3
Wargear
Iron Armour
Great Weapons
Abillities
Fire Breath: The Creature unleashes a blast of fire from it's maw

Animus, stays a good distance from the troll, letting him make the first move.

"Things just keep getting better and better," I murmur.

I try to sneak past them to get to my objective.

Shas
Two of the first Drakes raise their Great Weapons and swipe at Zardath. He ducks and rolls underneath them and impales each of them with his Swords, but he is knocked back by the leader of the group who carries a massive Axe with a blade made of Dragons teeth. The Drake slams his axe into the ground just missing Zardath by an inch; Zardath however does not make this mistake and slices of one of the Drakes arms.
Tyranic Marta
The Troll roars and throws his massive axe at Aminus , however Aminus quickly doges the blow as it slams into the ships mast causing it to collapse. The Troll grabs his Axe and grabs a fallen mutant before lobbing it at Aminus.

"Why do you persist when you know it is useless."

I try to decapitate him with my two blades lightning fast

Animus leaps up over the mutant, landing he moves forwards with a forwards leap slamming his mace forwards towards the trolls groin.

(underhand maybe but yes thats me)

Shas
The Leader Drakes head hits the floor as Zardath rises
"We must retreat!"
The Remaining Drakes flee.
Marta
Aminus's blow causes the Troll some discomfurt
"Time to die!"

Animus ducks forwards and slams his mace into the back of the trolls knee

The Troll falls to the ground and whines in pain. It cawls towards Aminus.

I smirk, before going onwards to my bjective.

Animus's foot slams down on the trolls head pinning it, his mace swings back and slams into the trolls gut,

Marta
The Troll stumbles and raises his hand but falls and coughs up blood and mucus. It groans in pain before being decapitated by Aminus who takes its head and places it in a small bag and throwing the husk into the sea. Aminus rises form the ship’s deck and repeatedly fires bolts of dark energy at the lesser mutant crew who scream in pain and terror as Aminus descends upon them grabbing and tearing them to shreds with his clawed feat and blades. Necromancers and boarding Parties soon begin raids against confused and bewildered Mutant ships. Within two hours the Mutant fleet lies in ruins and a new trophy adorns Aminus’s trophy rack. The Necromancers send their Undead minions to scour the ship in search of any remaining Mutants while others begin their dark rituals.
Shas
Zardath creeps through the dark tunnels of the Mountain narrowly avoiding Fire Drake Patrols and hunters. He eventually enters a small treasury room containing Gold, Bronze, and Silver, Jewels, armour and ancient weapons. Zardath looks around to see Queen Kethouis chained to the wall guarded by two Drake Horner Guardsmen. Zardath creeps behind a Crate full of Silver and watches as the Horner Guard talk.
Horner Guard
Race: Drake
Level: 4
War gear: Halbard, Heavy armour and Shield.

I listen to them, while trying to use my magic powers to contact Kenethicias mind.

Zardath knocks over a helmet by accident and is spoted by the Honor guard.

I throw one of my blades at the firsts head quickly, before engaging the other in battle (with my second blade if it kills the first one as I will then pick it up to help fight the other)

(ic) Animus retreats to his cabin, and requisitions new armour from the armoury on board the ship, "Full plate, iron if you have it, if not bronze, then send me an engraver."

Shas
The first Honor Guard falls while the other raises his Halbard and slashes Zardaths right arm , Zardath in return stabs him in the gap betwen his neck and armour killing him instantly. The other roars and charges Zardath but is quickly killed after a strike to the head.
Marta
Two large Skeletons carry a suit of full plate iron armour , engrave with runes of protection and Zork. A Engraver soon enters aswell.
"You called lord?"

Yes, i wish for you to engrave the paulron on the right shoulder with a relief of a flaming skull, the other shoulder to have a description of the battle... with room for more.

“Yes my grand lord”
The Skeleton begins the careful and slow process of engraving the armour of Aminus with the sharpened bones of dragons. He carves the flaming skull with great skill while the description of the battle is almost like he was there.

"My Queen! Why are you here?"

I quickly search the bodies for a key to free Kethouis.

(ic) (when hes done) I thank him and take the armour, i nod my approval and grant him the bone bag of the orc warlord, his knuckle bones would make exceptional divining devices,

Shas
"I was captured loyal Zardath , I was taken here by Fire Drakes. We must escape."
Tyranic Marta
"Thank you master."
The Small Skeleton rushes away to continue his work , narowly missing a passing Necromancer.
"I require you lord."

Animus rises strapping his armour to his powerful skeletal frame, bulking it out. When and only when he is finished does he look at the necromancer, powerful motes of gold still flowing from his eyes before dissapating in the air, "Where do you need the Avatar of Zork?

"Sir we are aproching the outer realms of Zork but it appers some Konclave Renements have also the same entetions as us and have formed several bases around the smaller islands and will prove a problem."

Approach under cover of darkness, we will anchor out of sight today, when night falls, send landing craft to shore from all the ships where there are no cities, all of my land crew will go, they will circle around behind the cities and builds a small camp, i will remain here and i will tell you the next phase of the plan when a telepathic message of the first stages success has reched us.

"It will be done my lord."
The Necromancer nods and begins planning the strike. He reports later telling Aminus of the strike forces ifilltration efforts and their succses.

"Excelent Robe all of our warriors and crew abord the ship and mask their undead signature with magic, make it undetectable, take down all heraldry and display a merchants flag, we will row to the city, when we get close we will profess to be armour merchants, (ill assume this is the head necromancer) you will have to pose as the merchant and i will be your body guard, swath yourself in grey robes. Make sure there is some clean armour to be shown if they request to have us prove that we are indeed merchants, if any of them discover that we are infact undead then you must cast a fog on their mind, prevent them from remembering this encouter, once we are inside the city i will explain the last phase

Actually Marta Undead are common Merchant servants, the only thing he’ll have to mask is the Zorkith energy.

Kel’thuzad and Aminus along with other disguised Undead sail in several small boats towards the Konclave cities. Kel’thuzad and Aminus disembark with some other Undead carrying treasure and other valuable items for trading. As they trek through the heavy snow they come across the City’s entrance. They open to allow Vampire mounted on a Zombie Horse to exit the city. He wields a strange gauntlet and a long scimitar and wears dark orange armour with leopard skull helmet encrusted with several jewels. He smiles at the sight of expensive perfumes and armour carried by the Merchant Undead.
“Welcome Merchants to our city. I see you wish to trade?”
Kel’thuzad smirks realising the plan has come together.
“Yes we have travelled far across the world and have many treasures to trade. I am sure you will have some interest in the items we carry.”
“I’m sure we can make some arrangements Merchant.”
The Vampire specks some unknown language. Two mounted Konclave beast masters come out of the city, both mounted on Leopards. They carry tridents and nets and are accompanied by bone hounds, their skulls flaming with unholy fire.
“Search them!”
The Hounds begin sniffing round the Undead but are unable to find any trace of Zorkith energy.

(i diddnt know, all good)
Animus calmly watches as the hounds search him in particular but is not worried, he trusts the necromancer, when the search is over he and the rest of the party enter the city gates, Animus communes with the necromancer telepathically, Animus thinks and the necromancer hears it, "we ned to find somewhere safe to talk, you need to rent a room of some descrription, we can wait out side whilst i explain the next part of the plan."

The Hounds return to their beast masters return into the city while the Vampire counts the Golden coins with a dark passion.
“These are Aztecan, millions of years old. There is 1… 2… 5… 7000 Coins, Deal. Please feel free to enter our grand city.”
The Vampire clicks his fingers and Konclave soldiers begin carrying in the treasure traded to them. They in return are given many slave warriors and the allowance to stay in the city. Kel’thuzad and Aminus enter a large room given to them as a shelter.
“It appears they have fallen under our spell. We will use our trickery to infiltrate the Hierarchy of Konclave and use them as a force to gain access to the temple but we need someone on the inside, we can’t risk sending our own in but we need to find a weakness and something to exploit. Vampires are a greedy and pleasure seeking race but have a great sence of brutality and to drain their Victims energy.”

"I would like to see them try to drain my energy, (kelthuzad? really? warcraft 3 much ) our warriors outside the city wil be needed to ruin this place, we must get them into the city... i have a plan... but for it to work i will need your help"

"I agree, but first your majesty, I am on a mission. I must go to the tip of this mountain into a pit of fire, then, to the Tomb of eternity. I am sorry, but I must do this."

Shas
“Yes Zardath do what you must but I will rally my troops. But beware of the spirits of the Tomb; even Zorks minions have fear of that place. Beware Zardath the spirits of warriors do not rest easily and will take revenge on any who disturb them. And there are those who immortals cower under. “
The Queen leaves Zardath. Also you’re free to take 1 of the following items
Armour of the Drake skin.
A powerful artefact that provides great protection against fire attacks. The User is completely immune to fire attacks.
Bones of the Sorcerer.
The Bones of this Sorcerer have been hollowed out and turned into a charm. Gives the user the Storm of Magic ability.
Marta
“What would that be my lord? The Konclave lack discipline and would be easy to defeat if we caused some treachery or confusion. My Necromancer is also searching the slaves minds for any information or weaknesses. The only current weakness we know of is the Harbours Greedy Orc Lord. If we can bribe him he’ll probably let us in.”

we must get our empty soul amphora's and transport them out of the city on pretext of getting snow from the mountains asa holy ritual, when we are out of the city we will put a skeleton warrior in each jar, when the jars are ready we will take them to the palace as offerings to the high lords of the city, when the jars are open the assassins will stike, i will aid them if i can by posing as the courior

"Yes my lord we I will despacth them righ"
Two Konclave Warriors burst into the room
Konclave Warrior
Wargear
Shield
Sword

Animus doesnt hesitate, he swiftly grabs both by the throat and shakes hard, just once, snapping their necks. The released warriors sink to the floor utterly dead. "Reanimate them, make them go and say that the job was completed, we are going to have to act now, wait until they exit the building then we will head for the gates, reanimate anyone i kill"

"Yes my lord."
Kel'thuzad turns to the bodys and begins chanting but their is more to deal with.
"Foulish slave! Do you truley think I can be fooled!"
Vampire Lord
Level 5
Wargear
Heavy artifice armour
Two Handed sword
Jewel encrusted crown
Iron gauntlet
Abillaties
Slash

Animus grabs the necromancer and leaps backwards out of the window, smashed glass following him down as his wings snap out, he lands in the midst of his warriors, he turns to the necromancer "Stay here"

He spreadshis wings and does a mighty leap back through the window, his mace being drawn in midair,

The Vampire changes his stance into a defencive stance , he grabs a chair and flings it at Aminus.

Animus calmly shatters the chair in midair with his mace,

"Farewell, my Queen. And thank you."

I push onwards towards the pit of fire.

I will take the Armour of the Drake skin.

Marta
The Vampire growls and rasies his sword before charging in anger.
Shas
Zardath enters a massive chamber with several platforms rasied over a pit of magma.

Animus steps into the charge ducking under the sword swinging his mace in a brutal uppercut swing aiming for the vamps gut

The Vampire growls and hissis at the pain , he trys to pick up his fallen blade but fails as his strentgh is drained. He falls on to his back and roars in fury
"No NO! I will not die! You will!"
The Vampire sends a bolt of lightning towards Aminus.

The lightning impacts on Animus but does nothing as his immunity shields him, Animus strides forwards through the smoke haze and using his momentum swings at the Vamps head

"This must be the pit of fire he spoke of. He said if one's will power was strong enough they could pass through it. But the only way I can think of to get through is to jump straight in it. There must be another way."

I look around for any way through the pit of fire.

Shas
Drake Skin! Remember what it does.
Marta
The Vampires body falls to the floor and becomes a pile of dust and bones.

"Excellent", Animus leaps back out the window, "signil our warriors outside the fortress that we will need them now, the rest of you we head to the gates and then the tower."

"My Lord , It appers the Konclave have constructed this fortress with several levels which only have one entrance. To enter the second level we must open the gates controls and I have a plan , our forces have begun the take over of the outer levels and have forced several groups of Konclave warriors to surrender. One group remains howevar and are defending the gate."
Aminus and Kel'thuzad watch a Skeleton looter throw a explosive into a building. It bursts into flames while screaming Konclave civilens run out of it.
"Shut up Im looting!"

(looting skeletons XD) (ic) Animus nods, "i will deal with those, take these skeletons and head to the tower meet me there, dont be late."

Animus launches into the air and flys swiftly to the pocket of enemy resistance, landing he draws his mace and begins to walk towards the konclaveian warriors.

"Open the gates! We need to retreat! "
The Konclave Captain rasies her sword in defence while her warriors cower in fear. Aminus easily pushes past several shocked Konclave Warriors while Kel'thuzad and several drunken Skeletons carrying loot arive.

Animsus begins to swing his mace in lazy loops that grow faster and faster, blurring infront of his body

The first Konclave warriors fall while others drop their weapons and bow.
"We renouce our loyalty to the Queen of the Konclave and swear new loyalty to Lord Zork."

Animus ignores the pitiful creatures and lunges forwards the massive momentum from his mace hammering down at the captain

"Please show us mercy , we wish to serve a greater power. We will give you what support we can and find what forces that will help us. We have masses of knowledge of the fortress and the Konclave we will share with you."
Kel'thuzad steps forward and smiles
"This one may have her uses."

"But only when shes dead" Animus bats her sword away and his hand darts to her throat, his bony hand quickly crushing the life out of her

"I'll see what I can do Lord Aminus , I'll tell my minions to begin their work. Her information will be mine but what off the other Konclave civilens?"
A Skeleton lobs a molotove into a building causing it to explode in a fiery explosion.

Good... burn them, burn them all, our warriors are numberless this city can burn

(It's at moments like these where I remember how stupid I can be )

Hesitating at first, I jump into the pit of lava.

(epic man)

Shas
Unlike the other cretures of the world Zardath feels no pain at the touch of the lava. Like the Drake kin of the world he feels at home with the bunring magma but relises the threat of the newly arrived drakes.
Marta
The Konclave lower city is soon reduced to ash by half drunken skeletons and trolls while strange flying beasts tear apart any fleeing Konclaviens while screeming prasie to Zork.

Animus strides through it all butchering all who attempt to stand before him, but offering a swifter painless death to any who would serve him, his clawed hand is bloody from the hearts he has ripped out....

Eventually he halts and turns to his necromancer, we must continue on, Zork does not suffer fools gladly, we must move. RTeanimate all you can with the aid of your brethren, then we will leave this city to rot.

"Yes My lord but what of the rest of the city , useful weaponry and items are held within the upper levels but if we must leave it is your command. Our scouts have established a forward base and have rasied more warriors from the depths of this land. The last Konclavien Warriors tried to mount aa defence but could not establish a formation and so resorted to using gunpowder crates riged to explode , our trolls have also begun to attack the walls of the main fortress and have made progress in breacking through."

For now, I try to leave them, to go through the pit, and wait for them beyond, ready to strike.

Zardath continues his swim through the Lava determined to get to the tomb of life. He eventually climbs upon a stone platform were Drake fishermen hunt for Lizard fish; they look at Zardath in surprise but continue.
“Guess you’re here for the Tomb, be careful the Fire tribe guard it and worship it as some form of God. There fighting others to secure it but have failed to do well in months.”

"I will succeed. Remember that. Hope you get a big catch."

I walk on to the direction of the Tomb.

Zardath walks the large stone steps of the Temple, each step accompanied by a distant sinister howl or laugh. He nearly trips over a Werewolf skeleton carrying a golden amulet. He raises his blade to slay a Drake as it tumbles down the stairs, he then looks up and watches two Drakes battle. One with a light blue skin tone and the other with Red skin tone, the Blue Drake lands an axe strike directly in the Drakes skull. He looks down at Zardath and smiles
“Welcome distant traveller I welcome you here, do you wish assistant in your quest.”

"I do wish assistance. I must find the Tomb of ancient warriors for my quest. Why are you so eager to aid me?"

"I see promise in you boy unlike the others that have come here , the've died before they could make it to the gates."

"I thank you. Now, can we begin?"

“This Way small Elf, we shall find the Tomb.”
The Drake and Zardath begin making their way up the stair case; they soon duck behind a bundle of crates as a patrol of Fire Drakes walks by. They carry a case of gold and several packs full of meat.
“Priest we have brought Gold and jewels to offer to the fallen Priests and warriors, we wish to camp here for tonight.”
“You have brought the lords great gifts. You may stay here warriors.”
The Drakes begin to eat their meat and become tired.

"We must sneak past when they fall asleep, quietly."

Zardath and the Drake sneek past the guards , they then are able to get to the large stone doors of the Temple.

"Now, how many hostiles will be in there? Will we have to sneak in?"

"I don't know boy but from the sound of it alot. Thats all these idiots talk about."
The Drake and Zardath enter a massive room filled with stone tombs and crypts.

(Sorry ive been away on camp, back now tho)

(ic) Your are right Necromancer, have the city searched for valuable weaponary armour... anything that we can use, and get me the engraver, my armour needs and update

i will see to the defeat of the fortress, bring me my guard

"Hmm, seems empty. And these must be the tombs of the great warriors. Also, I don't think boy would be suitable for me, as I am an Undead you know."
