I gesture for my forces to kneel, and then I do so myself. "My Queen, it is an honour to be here before you, what are your orders?"

"Rise Zardath. We shall make our way to the Elven capital and I shall take Zorks head as a Trophie!"

"Of course my Queen, all my forces are at your command. We march upon the armies of Zork when you see fit."

"Folowers of the Kroickth Conclave. Today we crush the armies of Zork , his forces plan to march apon the Elven Capital city of Erenoth. We must stop him once and for all!"

I twirl my mace in my hand as i calmly walk down the ramp of the ship, ahead of me is the silohuette of an elven city,

(to nocturnals char sos cant remember name)
"Are you coming with us?"
"He cant come"
"Its always just been us!"
"If he wants to he can"

"We are going to open the gates for our friends, are you coming?"

The Undead armies of Zork unload from their ships , 9 Two headed Dragons fly over head along side thousands of Undead bats. Iron armoured Skelton Regiments armed with Halbards march forword while Necromancers stand atop giant siege towers. A massive Battle ship made of roting wood and the bones of Dragons unloads its Dark master. Zork.

He goes with the nutter.

Animus stealthily creeps up to the wall, and from the cavity of his ribs draws a long coiled length of rope and a small chestnut, looking surprised at the chestnut he hastily stows it and reaches in again, eventually he comes out with a small barbed hook with a bulge just above a ring

Tying the rope to the ring the skeleton spins it experimentaly, and heaves it up the surface of the wall, as it peaks the ramparts Animus gives it a sharp jerk and the bulge explodes and several dark tentacles wrap onto the wall and hold the rope in place, all of this is silent except for the faint sound of sizzling as the cast iron falls to the ground.

Grabbing the rope Animus nimbly scampers up the wall, and dropping behind a guard kills him by snapping his neck, crouching into the shadows he puts Mr Jiggles on the corpse and allows the mouse to feed.

While he is waiting for his new friend Animus gathers everything of value from the corpse and once the mouse has had his fill he dumps the corpse off the wall and watches it fall to the ground, Mr Jiggles happily perches on Animus's shoulder nibbling on an eyeball.

Seth'oral climbs up after him, he draws bonesplitter and moves towards the gatehouse.

Craftily Animus leaps down onto a guard decaitating his fiend with Shadow bite (his mace) and Mr Jiggles leaps onto the unconcius Elven guard beneath Animus and begins to devour his face and neck, in short arder the Elf is dead.

Two other guards are near Sethoral

Two gaurds walk along, chatting. Both look up at Seth simutaniously. He rases Bonesplitter and sweeps it through the both of them with ease.

The Undead begin their assault on the Elven fortress city. Zork and his Elite guard are the first enter the city. His dark sorcery burns down entire regiments of Elven Glaive guards , the greatest of all Elf troops. Trolls with giant maces and blades cut down Elf troops with simple strikes. Animus and Seth'oral join large skeleton Hordes.

(Which one was mine?)

The Conclave arrive at the City as the Forces of Zork begin to invade.

"Everybody, we have the Queen herelf here to help our forces, show your abilities, destroy the forces of Zork!"

The Conclave battle the Hordes of Zork in the Elven City of Ethouis. Zorks Forces outnumber them by far but their moral is great.
Plus a map of your current location.

Ha mount doom!

"Fight on brothers! The Queen gives us strength!"

The Undead are soon driven back to the main points of the Elven City. Zork leads his assault , his blades cut down hundreds of enemy troops.
Glad you like my map

"Your highness, we are losing the fight! Zork himself fights us! My soldiers are losing morale!"

A dark shadow looms over Zardath , he is thrown into a wall as Zork strides pass him. He steps forword infront of the Queen
I see you have come to stop me Kethouis , my you have change since our last encounter. Scared and afraid wernt you ha!
Kethouis charges Zork slaming her blade into his head
That wont work

"My Queen stand back!"

Regaining my balance, I take out my two blades, and twirl them around in my hand, before I rush forward to intervene, slicing with my blades, desperately trying to draw Zorks attention so the Queen can strike him hard.

Zork smiles at the chance to wreak more death.
"I may keep your Queen as a Slave and Mount your body on a Golden chair marked Hero"
Kethouis impails Zork from behind
"Die!"
Zork blasts Kethouis into the wall
Kethoius fires a Arcane fire into Zorks chest cuasing him to fall to the ground
I WILL RETURN!
Zork turns to ashes

"My Queen, you have killed him! Thier forces will almost certainlt lose because of this! Zork is no longer!"

"Zork is not truly defeted. We must drive the armies of Zork out of the Elven realms!"

Seth'oral Leaps down from the walls and splits the bones of many Kronickth (did I spell that right?) with his beast of a sword.

"I agree your highness. ALL TROOPS! DRIVE THE ZORK SCUM OUT OF THESE LANDS!!!"

Animus jumps nimbly down swaing under a sword and crushing the offender with his broad mace, with his other hand he pulls his sword out of his ribcage and hacks an enemy to several pieces,

Tyranic Marta and Nocturnal
Seth'oral and Aminus fight back to back. Zork may have fallen but the armies of Zork are not defeted. Necromancer War-lords unsure of their orders begin to have their forces pull back while more Conclave forces arrive. Seth'oral and Aminus Retreat along side thier Necromancer.

Shas'o Ta'u Kais
Zardath and his allies battle any remaining Necromancer War-lords that remain. They are quikly defeted.

turning his head full one-eighty to look at sethoral while he fights of elves looking the other way, animus sais "toss me"

sethoral looks bemused at him and sais "what?"

"if you toss me in to them then you lot can get out, ive only managed to subdue the others but if you do it quickly then ican let you guys escape then try and get out myself"

"no"

"your not going to toss me?"

"no"

"ah well worth a try"

and with that last enigmatic statement Animus leaps nimbly and through some trickery it almost appears to be magical flight as he bounds into the enemy, cackling madly he fights his way through them, cutting and hacking, smashing and crushing, none can stand up to his onslaught

Behind him Sethoral lets out a bellow and trys to get to him but the other skeletons pull him away.

Grimly Animus fights on but slowly begins to falter, or at least appears to falter, he slows one of his sword blows, allowing an enemy weapon to block a blow that is no longer coming and sweeps his mace under the elfs chin

A kroncith warrior rushes at the skeleton thinking the slow sword swing indicates his losing of energy, but the momentum from Animus's mace swing is allowed to carry on in an upward arc, Animus jumps with it and does a full back flip, landing behind the Kroncith warrior, and simply impales him with his sword.

Animus fights in this way for some time, using the momentum of blows to pull of seemingly impossible feats, as he dances his tango of doom he works his way out of the city, finally he reaches the gates, leaping backwards his twists around in midar sheathing his sword, and using his legs and one arm he scurries up the wall and over the top,

"we bashed them we did"
"yes" (mad giggling)
"what now?"
"to the necromancer i thinks"
"yeeeees"

The mad skeleton makes his way back to the main army
