“Eldar!” There was no more apt curse. The race, a byword for fear, cowardice ,manipulation and sorcery circled him at great distance. Shamanos possessed not even close to the speed required to catch them. He roared pure hate as he chased them. All the while their weapons ripped into his flesh. He watched as eight tanks with enormous crystal lasers began firing at each other. Shamanos was sure this was not a good omen. He tried to dive away from the magnified death laser as it fired.
The incredible energy exploded into him. He felt no pain, but could feel his essence begin to flow back to the warp.
“Cowards!” he raged as his crippled form plummeted to the ground below. As it impacted it disintegrated. Shamanos’ essence fully translated to the warp.
It was at this moment that Danu used her powers to wake the captive commander. She smirked as the confusion set in and then asked, "What suprised to still be alive? We captured you on board your ship before you could enact your desperate plan to befoul Iyanden with your touch."
"No, This cannot be true!!", Shouted Shamanos as he sought to move but was unable. Looking down he saw that he had been imprisoned from his fpr arms down to his feet in some web-like material. "This must be Tzeench toying with me.", he muttered.
A perfect laugh accompanied that statement, "It was so easy to plant the fantasy of your last stand. You were and are all to willing to deceive yourself rather than face up to your defeat." said Danu as if explaining to a child. She then continued on to explain, "Your cowardly mind retreated into an absurd fantasy as soon our minds locked in battle. From there it was easy for my Warp Spiders bind you and bring you here for,...further examination."
"You will get nothing from me, you cowardly child of Tzeench." cursed Shamanos.
Danu just stood there, holding a Sword of unusual ornate beauty as she looked at him with an expression of mild amusement and said nothing.
Shamanos suddenly fearing enscorcelment shut his eyes and said, "I'll never let you in, you will never find out anything." he said as he spat at the farseer.
Had Shamanos kept his eyes open he would have witnessed the true speed and grace of an Eldar as the Farseer stepped aside and with a flowing sweep of her arm used her robes sleeve to catch every bit of his spittle and whipped the same sleeve slap him in his face. With a dark voice Danu the spoke, "I can understand how the corruption impairs you intelligence, but honestly, you think closing you eyes would keep me out if I wanted in. That is as naive as thinking that I haven't already discovered everything I already need to know." She then walked behind the defeated commander and whispered in his ear,"I can sense your confusion, It should be just about now that you ask the question, (If she already knows what she wants then why the need for further examination?)."
Shamanos wasn't sure which was more disturbing, the Eldar Witch's breath tickling his ear or that she spoke the thoughts just as they occured to him. He began to get a feeling of that could only be discribed as furious terror as the thought that he might already be a puppet of this foul frail creature.
The Farseer continued to walk around her prisoner, finally stopping in front of him. Turning to face him Danu smiled a cold and alien smile that showed just how much the Eldar and their Dark cousins still had in common. She then continued in a steadily darker tone, " We have already examined you and I have found in you what my fallen cousins have shown me in the Infinity that is our deah." "I was shown that you like like to crush the spirit stones of Eldar just before you kill them. You find this amusing because you beleive your pact with the Chaos Gods protects you from true death."
Shamanos giggled and replied,"Yes, I did such and it isn't a matter of think. When I die the warp and chaos will reclaim me and there is nothing in your power to prevent such from happening." he said as his giggle turned into a luagh.
At that moment, Danu set the tip of the sword against Shamanos chest and smiling in cold pleasure she informed him,"Ah, but this is no ordinary sword. This is a pristine Dire blade. Normally, such a sword will have a pommelstone with the spirit of a warlock within it and can kill with the slightest cut." She quickly moved the blade to where the dull backedge rested on his neck and toying with her captive she slowly ran the dull edge across his skin. After a moment Danu continued with a calm finality,"This swords spirit stone is empty, the first life it takes will capture the spirit of its victim within the empty stone,.....you see where this is going....don't you."
Just as his eyes began to widen, the Farseer plunged the blade into Shamanos's chest. She reached out and locked both her eyes and mind with the monster that she was dispatching. She pushed/guided his conciousness down the blade and into the stone. Danu did not even break the connection when she withdrew the blade from his lifeless corpse. No, she kept the connection so she could show his soul what she was doing as she laid the blade on the floor, stood up, and lifted her leg. She could feel his soul scream as it watched her heel drop onto the stone, shattering it and destroying his soul for all time.
Looking up, Danu calmly ordered the next attack. Then as if remembering something that had casually slipped her mind, she ordered the blade to be destroyed.

First Daemons don't fear. Also they are liars and always display arrogance/superiorty. Not crybaby nonsense. Second you can never kill a daemon only imprison them. If you had imprisioned shamanos for eternity in some never used blade I would of let it slide but you story is plainly slowed. No 40k story ever has a daemon dying. The all return to the warp. Only other daemons can consume them. Danu finished writing. He sighed, if only he understood anything about Chaos he could of made it work.. Sadly he was a fearful eldar, afraid to let his experience stray for the focus of the path of the seer, Lets she who thirst come for him. Nevermind, I will post the story anyway. Also if you noticed in my story eldar actions were largely Fluff-realistic. The smug haughtiness, Enganging enemies at their disadvantage, etc etc. You make daemons cry like 5th graders and kill them in rediculous ways. FF crys for the unexistant ending for Saim hine, refuses to give me a decent ending and now writes gak. Good day.

I'll admit, I thought the writing was a bit OTT.
I planned on "capturing" Shamanos or some such non-sense, but leave a cliff hanger if you wanted to play World Eaters for game two.
I was also going to give you the upper hand during the first part of the battle since... y'know, you did.

Point out where I had him cry. There is a difference between a sceam at being shattered and crying like your post.

1)Good thing he was a CSM and not a Daemon
2)Shamanos is imprisoned for all eternity, in a thousand tiny pieces that have fractured his concioucness to the point of being non-existant.
3) No story has yet to have a daemon cry, but keep whining and I just might.
4)So if the shards are throw into the young kings throne room, the spirit would be consumed by the Avatar? Nice little twist but I like leaving the Stone and its contents shattered.
"At this point someone, overly attached to their character, once again tries to write his own death scene with a formulaic style of Goto." ff steps up and says hush you  , your dead until you respawn in the next game.

Good thing he wasn't a Daemon but just a Chaos Marine.  When Daemons get a faction I will be happy to write something about the C'tan kicking their tale.
Shamans crys for Shamanos go mostly ignored as the corrupted Marine is dead and unable to write an ending story. The only response to the pleas are the question, "Do you prefer Gouda or Havarti with you whine?".

No. It is not the reason for my epilogue to the end of our armies battle. I notice how you ignored you missed the thumbs up at the end there and where in a reply to your first reply to that post where I mentioned that I was laying ground work for a possible next thread rivalry.
As to why the story ended up the way it did, It is because you seem to think that the stories are yours alone to tell. Psst,(whispering) There "are others" who also have their versions of the events to tell. I had a different story set to go until I read your self-glorifying little fantasy. I was waiting because I wanted to see what the other chaos players would do, I had a completely different story arc planned, but then you presumed to write my story from your perspective. Just because I didn't immediately post a story you made the assumption that the story was yours to tell. If you don't like the ending I gave you, tough. Next time don't presume to tell other peoples stories.
As far as next game goes, I'll write whatever I please. As long as it doesn't violate any of Dakka's policies, you got nothing you can do about it. Maybe just maybe, if you don't constantly presume to be able to dictate others stories, we will be able to play in harmony. Or not, we will have to wait and see.
Oh, as far as your your further assumption that this was a competitive thing.
1)Dude, get over yourself.
2)Wasn't aware that we were competing. Is there a Pulitzer category for Fan-fiction that I am not aware of? Seriously, you don't want me writing about one of your characters then refrain from writing about anyone elses.
3) I freely admit that my revised story was intended as a bit of a smack down for your attempt to hijack a story epilogue that was mine to tell. This is "not" about being competitive, it is about someone interfering with a story already writtem because they presume to speak for that person without asking.
Originally, I had planned on encasing the character in wraithbone and then setting him adrift near the Hadex anomoly. I was waiting to see if Darkhound and Stiener were going to fall for the bait and dog pile me. If they had done such , I had a story set for Danu to die and for Lugh to assume command while Ulthwe got a breather. Then I saw where, in either impatience or ego, you presumed that the story was yours to tell and decided that, because I had to rewrite to accomodate your self-glorification, a different end was in order. With this in mind and the fact that you had yet to go back and edit in your story add those new bits, I wrote the story as your character was at the time of the WE demise a CSM and nothing more. Even with the bits of his being promised help, he failed to deliver the skulls that were a part of the agreement. Between this failure and Danu's being in his mind to dream weave, I believe that I've covered that whole Daemonic elevation thing as just a glory fantasy woven by Danu.
If you have problem with my story, then let me remind you. History, whether real or fictional is written from the victors POV. You were not the victor.
BTW, There is also nothing preventing you from using the character in the next game. You might have to write an extra bit about reassembling a shattered crystal. If you are as gifted of a writer as you seem to think you are then you have most likely already thought of this, which then begs the question, "Whats the big deal?".
As to the not speaking anymore, fine. I'll leave off as long as you do.

I think this dispute is the result of a miscommunication. Given both sides will tell a story emphasizing their own sympathies and strengths over the opponent's, it's fair to say that neither need be taken as more definitive than the other. Shaman and focusedfire, you have both contributed very entertaining yarns and I think your work would be even better with cooperation. Let us call more than a cease-fire here and have no bad blood. Why not scrap what you currently have and work on something even more epic together?

How about we all agree to follow this very basic storytelling convention:
History is written by the Victors
That means that, when you're hitting somebody, you get to tell the story.
If you get hit, if you get taken out, then you can still contribute to the narrative but you let the other guy get the final word.
Can we all agree to that, and let this stuff end?

Will agree if this "final" word:
- isn't a hidden insult to the loser
- does not contradict the background of 40k seriously
- keeps the armies / characters usable in further strats games ( until the owner wants his character dead, that is).
all 3 and were fine.
BTW is it possible to hand a death scene over to another writer if the "deathdealer" sucks at fluff storys?
Would offer a "last word" if I ever releive an army of its struggle in this realm....

I think Dakka's overall rules should suffice. Storytelling benefits from multiple ideas. Cooperation is always the best answer. If an agreement cannot be reached, there is nothing wrong with conflicting accounts. The important thing is that the spirit remains convivial.

I have no problem with doing such other than I feel that Shaman becomes overly connected to his characters. The first thing I noticed about his character was that it was named after his screen name. Years of role playing when I was younger have left me feeling that naming a character for yourself usually causes issues with becoming overly invested in the character.
Aside from that one point, I have no problem with working collaberatively. Schedule permitting of course.

Pretty much how I've seen it. While I was disappointed for the Saim Hann to not get a Wrath of Kahn dath scene, I never complained about the content of the other posters creative work because it was their turn to tell the story.

1)Difficult to determine. Many could complain that the ignominious deaths that have been being handed out in the name of chaos fluff is insulting. Maybe better if people just do not become emotionally invested in their characters. A good start to preventing such personal attatchments would be to not name the characters after yourself(screen name).
2)Never been a story written that couldn't be unwritten. Soap operas, Star Treck and Games Workshop have all shown such. You just have to be creative enough to explain how a seeming deadend was circumvented.
3)Then we are stuck with an ever-constant and ubiquetous ending of,"I'll get you next tme" as the character flees the conflict. I'd much rather make use of the greater variety of storytelling conventions such as clones, differing points in the timeline, great quests to recover the spirit of what was thought lost. By shattering the stone, I have effectively given any future chaos player a reason to attack the Eldar. They are raiding to recover the pieces of this stone and one reunited the get the character back. Heck this could be one of the objectives you were pushing for.

1) see, hard to spell screen names like mine have their benefits...
2) And i hoped we do better than soap operas...  , surely Star trek is no match since TNG and GW is wellknown for its capable authors
But my point was to keep it believable and somehow fitting to the background of the chosen army.
3) I am not against variety, but historically armies and their leaders fled the battlefield rather often than make that "last stand" which
GW's illustrators love soo much.
Your story had 2 issues:
-psi used against the followers of khorne ( who are either too mad to care or too resilient due to their patron)
and a weapon to bind souls,without a pommelstone but a soulstone ( so empty socket or not? go go goto?)
-it was aimed to paint a character as silly little minion, where your own was the superior "know it all".
Lets imagine a player is upset enough to cast your character down next game without a single word.
Silence is a sharper weapon than lenghty OT fluff...
I don't think you need a reason to fight another army from a previous game.
OTOH a supporter of the IoM has a legendary amount of reasons to oppose anyone.
But chaos? they only care for themselves, so your "reason" of a single lost character is lost to any chaos player (except its owner)from start.
BoT:
Could we please move on with the game?
Only 50% have moved yet.

Your story had 2 issues:
-psi used against the followers of khorne ( who are either too mad to care or too resilient due to their patron)
and a weapon to bind souls,without a pommelstone but a soulstone ( so empty socket or not? go go goto?)
-it was aimed to paint a character as silly little minion, where your own was the superior "know it all".
Lets imagine a player is upset enough to cast your character down next game without a single word.
Silence is a sharper weapon than lenghty OT fluff...
I don't think you need a reason to fight another army from a previous game.
OTOH a supporter of the IoM has a legendary amount of reasons to oppose anyone.
But chaos? they only care for themselves, so your "reason" of a single lost character is lost to any chaos player (except its owner)from start.
1)The operative term hear is chosen armies not army. Your use of the singular in light of the rest of your post denotes a bias. Hard to accept input from biased undividuals.
2)So Khorne rage makes CSM's immune to psychic powers? I missed that in the codex. You must be reading a codex by Goto.
3)Read up on direswords and spirit/soul stones. It is not a far stretch from where GW has them and my creative use. You act as if the use of a new idea is a sin when it was just a story idea. (Iget your point, I wrote it so you don't like it. I'll live.)
4)It was aimed to paint the character in the same light that its author had portrayed his opponents.(Really, are we going down this road again? Sometimes it really feels like you try to hold me to a different standard just to create an argument.)
5)You may not think people need a reason but GW disagrees as is evident in the various fluff rivalries across their publications.
6)If the individual does not matter to chaos then why waste time to corrupt them and then to repeatedly retrieve these individuals? Seems like Chaos targets Individuals more than the common-folk, at least the way GW writes them.
Finally, something we can agree on, lets get this show on the road.

I think this argument, if it continues, and any similar ones would be fine for the Game One interest thread rather than here. In the meantime, everyone keep the little vignettes coming. I would like to again emphasize working together as much as possible as it lends a sense of continuity and creates incentive to read.

Once more the Black and Bone coloured Eldar attempt to flee from their fate, a tactical mistake had been made however. When they fled they had stayed in range of the Nocturne Glaive.
I'll do some story stuff later.
Night Lords move to Armageddon, and reinforces. Attacking Ulthwe upon arrival.

Nicholai stalked through the Vostroyan camp grounds, lending a word to the wounded, drink to the tired and laughter to anyone who would listen. Spirits were high, higher than they had been for a long time. Cadia had revealed itself, and had not deserted the Imperial cuase, but merely bided their time till the perfect opportunity arose. Nicholai smiled on the outside, but his heart was still hard. Perhaps this colonel was all bluster and brazeness, but that was still better than nothing in these times. Nicholai only hoped they had not come to late.

Oh hey. Just noticed the angst here.
Just a point of fluff,
1) Isn't the closest to deamonhood a CSM can get is Deamon Prince? So he wasn't anywhere near a pure deamon. Even then, being a deamon isn't a "get out of fail free" card, as you have to please your gods for them to let your reincarnation come around easily enough.
2) When a spirit stone is destroyed, doesn't that simply release the Eldar soul inside, leaving it vulnerable to being consumed by Slaanesh in the warp? In this sense I understand trapping Shamanos for eternity, but crushing the stone straight after sounds like a release.
Those are my only fluff questions, otherwise, get over it guys.

SkarGob surveyed the burning ,battered remains of his war horde,a mere handful of boyz and warmachines were left.
The combined attacks of the "Ommiez,bugz and panzies" had decimated his mighty horde,but still the WarBoss burned with a fury unmatched.
There would be no retreat,no surrender and no mercy given.
" Itz a good day fer dyin !!" SkarGob roared to the remains of his boyz " But iz a even bettah day fer killin!!"
With a deafening roar the WarBoss charged.

Been good playing against you.
Seeing as I only delivered the final blow, maybe EF should have the Honour of telling the Goffs end. This is because the battle was really between the Orks and the Vostroyan/'Nids
