wolfdwg 1497 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 Battle of the Bell 9th Sun’s Smile, 1859 “Forward! Onto Sedan!” The combined forces of the County of Blackvale, The Ferryman Company, and a few orcs of clan Raguk treaded southward towards the motley principality of Sedan. Upon arrival at the accursed den of rats and traitors, the brave men of the Empire bore witness to squatted and ugly manlets, haenser snakes, and of course the peasants of Sedan. As slurs and taunts were thrown at each other through the Sedan's west gate, a member of the Ferryman Company decided to ring the ‘bell’ that was outside its gate. This sent the garrisoned defenders into a maddened frenzy that urged them forward to sally out. The melee was fierce and bloody. The Imperial line clashed with the onrush of the Tripartite forces. Ferrum clashed and bodies began to amass, yet however these bodies were solely Tripartite men and women. Save for the few imperial horses lost, not a single Imperial soldier had died. The Tripartite forces were dumbfounded before a squat dwarf ordered their line to charge again. These events would continue to repeat as time and time again the garrison of Sedan had failed to earn a single kill. The bell rung again… As a queue the Imperials began to run northward. “Tey’re runnin’ away! Afta’ t’em lads!” cried out the urguani manlet. And with that the Tripartite soldiers whooped and hollered as they gave chase. Fools. Field Marshal Hugo van Aert gave the order as they neared the sight of the previous year’s slaughter of the Battle of Lower Petra. The Imperials turned as one and began to bear down onto the now stunned and slowly fleeting Tripartite band. They would not escape. Arn van Aert wheeled a mixed band of Renatian and Sons of Nagg cavalry and slammed into the fleeing front of the Tripartite rout. It truly was a slaughter. The ‘bell’ rang one final time. Seventy men and women of the Tripartite forces had scurried and hid behind the walls of Sedan. Meanwhile the Imperials gave out cries of victory, for all their forces were accounted for. Not a single member of the Imperial mixed band had fallen, a total and complete victory achieved over the coalition. Ave Blackvale, Ave Oren, Ave Humanity!

megavoltar 1110 Share Posted February 14, 2022 A ghastly figure cleared his throat before he spoke "Connection terminated. I'm sorry to interrupt you Sedanians, if you still even remember that Nation. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although you have indeed been called. You have all been called here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach. But you will never find them, none of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: Be still and give up your spirits, they don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you. I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest. For you, and for those you have carried in your arms. This ends for all of us. End communication." 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esterlen 4462 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The red-robed dark elf, Drelyth Remnevani, brings the Baron of Arichsdorf news of this engagement, having returned to the Westergrenz from Providence along his usual route. He withdraws a parchment report from within one of the many pockets in his silk-and-chitin tunic. “Good news from Lower Petra once again, serah,” he offered to the Baron, voice thick with his clipped elvish accent. @Narthok 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
