Tides of Darkness: Act 4

[Zahru II]

The battle boils with intense heat, when suddenly...

What?

(authors intent: I strongly recommend you to read the followings while listening to this:

systems functional, objective: terminate intruders



all systems online, go!

Appearently the monolith that Warhead's rage-blast exploded, sealed an ancient titan construct, possibly of majistik origin. - Paco the Duck Ninja enters battle-



The giant aims his clenched fist.



And fires it, with full force! (ignore my clenched nerd-paw)



It lands right into the abomination, busting off a chunk of rotten flesh and 1 hp.



Then he gains momentum, and throws himself into the combatants.



Many skeletons and dwarves are squashed to death.



Then he stands up and examines the field to where to strike next.

Tenacious Duo (the Shadowscythe):


'Come on Kage, now it's time to blow doors down'


'I hear you Jables, yeah, it's time to blow doors down'

Despite their valiant efforts the gods of metal are too busy having sex and drugs, but they admire such faith and reward the two with:



The avatar of scandinavian trash-folk!



It starts to riff the castle gate apart...



... and gives the deathblow with an allmighty roar!



The front gate collapses, sadly on the wrong side.



It still kills a brute and a troll and... Kensai!?

Amazon Elves (Arkbrik):



The heroine calls forth the spirit of the elders to guide them in battle, making them all more agile (-1 from all damage sources).


Then they joyfully massacre some berzerkers.

Direwood Strike Force(Silverdream):



The savagemen engage combat with the ghosts.



Although they're intangible, they don't stand a chance against the wildmen's rage.



Meanwhile, Ursar and Mugg join Sigmund against the remaining dark riders.



Ursar kills their mounts with a whirlwind slash, both unholy champions fall down, but are not hurt.



Lemme correct myself: Lord Krull is hurt. to death. By Mugg's ball-on-chain. Sigmund fails to do damage however.

Stay tuned for more!

[Warhead]

Argh! PACO! That's the second time lately you've secret factioned me during a Forum Battle when I was having fun. Your mom wont be able to walk for weeks yah wee bugger!

[Zahru II]

Warhead's army:



Warhead gazes over the death in destruction which surrounds him. 'What a delightful day'
(and yes, I hoovered my carpet way too long ago... ew.)



He spots Karl's Farsight rifle lying amongst the wastes...



'Its loaded! And the round has a name on it...'



KARL VON BARGSTEIN!

Sadly, the shot fails.



This makes Warhead go all SUPER SAIYAN.
'Armies of the damned!'



'Your task is not finished!'



'Your strength is needed!'



'Your part of the bargain is not done!'



-moar cliché one-liners-



'Join my in a final blow!!!'

(basically he succeeded in a res feat. I rolled for all dead units; 4 or higher roll would prove successful. Knowing these, I think many of you want my dice-rolling hand now chopped off)

Anyway, shittons of once fallen units returned from unlife to do 1 more thing before really dying.



The recently-deceased Infernus used his fire-breath attack.



All except the swordsman officer were scorched to death, as the demon passed away again... with a joyous grin.



The revived skeletons with the rest assaulted the dwarves, but they were too stout to kill; instead the aggressors fell.



Corpse Grinder pinned down 2 swordsmen and the flamer. Both spent their turn recovering.



Then he entered a manly duel with the tech-knight. Nothing mentionable happened.



Meanwhile, the other squad of skeletons obliterated all but 1 dwarf.



On the other side, 2 spearmen died.



Ursar was ganged by bone penises and a beheaded lord Krull.



The whacked him to death.



Sigmund in the meanwhile was approached by 2 other knights...



And got gutted gruesomely.

Ezra's forces (Ross_Varn):



Ezra charged with his arachnid and killed a savagemen.



Then he called for the burrower which gave Mugg a big hug! (the original target, the techknight was way too far)



Ezra tried to revive the glommox but failed.



Enraged, he blasted a rocketeer from the skies.

As said before, wait for more...

[Yoda_Dog]

Wait... Kensai is DEAD?!?!?!

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

-Incessant stream of bleeped profantity-

[The Shadowscythe]

Wait... Kensai is DEAD?!?!?!

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

-Incessant stream of bleeped profantity-

BWUAAHAAAHAAHAAHAA!

Zahru? Do I still get to use my manifestation of Scandanaian Trash-folk? Or has it disappeared? As I have an Idea . . .

[Warhead]

OMFG!.. Is that a pubic hair growing out my ass?.. h'erm, Perhaps I should have bikini waxed before battle.

That went less well than I had hoped and yet better than I could reasonably expect. But I'm keeping my fingers and everything else crossed until I see how well the Imperials and who ever else has still to go do.

[Ross_Varn]

That went better than I expected. And wait- Erza's ranged?! Oh, on JB's unholy grave!

[Elmagnifico]

Well, I hope Niol wore his brown pants today.

[Zahru II]

@the Shadowscythe: yes.
@Warhead: well, not public, but hair indeed. For some odd reason there's always hair within my bricks and sorts. Maybe it'd caught in between your avatar's torso and legs and I haven't noticed it. Thank god the camera exposed the (nevertheless rather ugly) truth.
@Ross: yup, I think it was written in your unit stats.

Anyway:

Orks (Yoda_Dog):



Alas, poor Kensai. I knew him wel...

STOP IT!



Amidst the ruins, a very angry ork emerges: Kensai! Now with semi-magical powers!



He unleashes a fearsome warcry, which turns out to be an enchanted power scream, knocking over the avatar, who buries(but only buries) the tenacious duo.
It also drives all orks near the castle to a bloodraged frenzy.



Kensai leads the green tide against the remaining cavalry.



Total damage (not actual rolls).



The cavalry has been obliterated, miracolously only one orkboy died during the process.



Meanwhile, the last 2 berzerkers maul an elf to death.



They got wiped out by gryphon fire.

Niol's army (Elmagnifico/ NPC-d by me):



Niol and the runeknight joined the lone officer. Niol used his powers to enhance their weapons, then they critted corpse grinder to death.





The clerics brought 2 swordsmen back to life.



The crossbowmen unleashed a barrage of bolts, but only took out 1 arrowboy.



Luckily the storm titan aided them with LITENING BOLTU!



Too bad he critfailed and knocked himself out.
Also the siege machine tried to fire but skillfailed, and I found it pointless to illustrate that.

Engineer's Guild (Bragallot/npc-d by me):



The spearmen annihilated the remains of the skeletal horsemen.



The last rocketeer alive picked up the firebomb from Karl, and flew to Ezra's spider.



Luckily he threw it to the ideal distance and the damage was hefty, thus it blew up the bug's head. Ezra was knocked off but undamaged.



The beast collapsed.



Karl heriocally picked up a shield and ran for cover.



A cannon round was fired at Warhead, but failed to even scratch him.

So that was turn 4. Hope you enjoyed it. I await Turn 5 (the final orders for the game!) till Tuesday.

Some overview shots:

[Warhead]

Wow, ok... Phew! Well I feel that could have been a lot worse. Your games are edge of the seat stuff Zahru. Not much else to do when in Death Ground, we FIGHT!
