The Quest for the Magical Chicken (Intro and Sign Up)

Post by Semaj Nagirrac » Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:13 pm

Image
First, there was the chicken. Because it ate seeds, it was believed to be magic.

Image
Then, there was Corphu the Wizard. He confirmed that the chicken was magical for other reasons.

Image
He decided that the chicken must be protected, so he built a wall around it and sealed it with the four elements: Water, Fire, Earth and Air. Then he placed the chicken in a protective tower of protection.


Image
Image
Image
But the chicken's fame spread through all the land and now many have come to claim the magical fowl.

THE FACTIONS

Image

Corphu knew the chicken couldn't always be protected. His presence on the field is to make sure the barriers of protection remain intact.

CHRIS MACDONALD, THE UNFORTUNATE HIKER, AND MILO (Kalvinator)

Chris MacDonald was hiking to Glencoe, Scotland to learn more about his ancestors when he was suddenly whisked away to a different world. He is fearful of his new surroundings, but great changes are about to take place in his life, if he can survive...

Chris MacDonald- Movement- 6"
Attack- None

Chris will need to be resourceful if he ever wants to return to Scotland. Perhaps the Magical Chicken can guide him to the right path...

Milo- Movement- 6"
Attack- Bite, Physical, +0, Melee

Elves and Corphu may communicate with Milo as they do with Chris.


When the factions are chosen, I will explain how the evil/neutral factions may break down the barrier.

Sign up begins now. Choose wisely...

Orks- Heavyfishcannon
Danthor- Thesson
Kelex- Cytheran
Elves and Dwarves- Lawmaster
Monks- Snakemittens
Shamans- Zahru II
Chris MacDonald- Kalvinator
Knights- Bragallot

PM your orders to me. Please put the name of your faction and QMC in the subject line so I know which faction the order is for. I'm doing the Sky Ruler RPG in the LDD Sub-Forum and I'm about to get a lot of orders for both that and this battle.

Example:

Subject Line for PM: Danthor QMC
Elves QMC
Knights QMC
Corphu QMC
Chris QMC
Orks QMC
Fish QMC
Monks QMC
Kelex QMC

Thanks. The more organized we are the faster round results will be turned out.

I should have said this before since I'm already receiving orders from some of you. Neutral factions are allowed to make alliances and good/evil factions can make alliances with neutral factions. I am allowing a "team victory" for this scenario. Just something else to consider. You can change your orders if you like or leave them. Whatever works.
