Glest - RPG!

[Gabbe]

I chilled and took a nap, then as all out of sudden

[wyvern]

I noticed a partially torn up tile and under it something glittered, when everyone had left I got up feeling fine and walked over to it I still saw the faint glitter and so I heaved and ripped it loose, underneath was...

piece of gold, and a tunnel I took out my sword and arbalest and put on my chain mail, then I snatched some food supplies and went into the tunnel intending to come back in an hour or so...

[Zoythrus]

so i crawled through the tunnel for an hour, and eventually stumbled on a secret lair. when i was walking around with my sword in hand, i heard some voices. i followed the voices, and discovered a hidden group of men, dwarves, and elves. They were discussing a way to eliminate the magic once and for all...

[wyvern]

Suddenly they noticed me several of them swung up their bows and crossbows and asked,"Who are you stranger, drop your weapons".

[ElimiNator]

"It is me" I said "the man who asked you for help".

[wyvern]

"You didn't ask us for help"...

[ElimiNator]

I thought frantically,"The dwarves had several posts in the city and were steadfast allies unaffected by dark magic, they might be of help but i feared a betrayal by persians and egypt". Suddenly the base came into view and I saw aliyps and morlocks attacking, some buildings were burning while others were intact, I saw a group of knights, horsemen and mounted archers, holding their ground. They were supported by assault troopers and a single tank that fired occasional shells at the enemy, it also appeared that there was a small crossbow armed contingent of dwarves firing at the attackers, a harpy streaked out of the sky screaming, I stood in horror, but dwarves are more stout hearted and they stood their ground, firing at the attacker knocking it out of the air...

Yah, see here.

[wyvern]

They thought about it and then decided that I could be trusted.

Those guys came with our character to the city

[wyvern]

"How do you think we should deal with the mages", I asked them...

[Gabbe]

I noticed a shadow...

[wyvern]

And out stepped aliyps blasting my new friends to bits..

A Roman Praetorian dropped from a low roof and destroyed two allyps with powerful spear swings, the other allyp hurled a ball of dark magic at him, but this praetorian was the top of his century, he firmly and proudly held up his large shield, the ball of dark magic splattered and stained his shield. He yelled, charged, and bashed the allyp with his shield, he quickly yanked his shield back and drove his spear into the allyps chest, it exploded in a flash of dark magic.

He stood up proudly, and said, "I am Tiberius, the Praetor of Rome, the commander of the Praetorian Guard. I come to announce that we will side with you in this great war. I have brought diplomats to discuss an alliance, if you would kindly allow them to enter this place."

[wyvern]

"Yes sir, indeed", I declared and swiftly led him back to the hall, there I saw a band of roman, dwarvish, elvish, and tech diplomats speaking in low voices about the alliance and from what i could tell the romans had been devastated by a simultaneous invasion, the dwarves had lost most of their trade caravans to raids, and the elvish forests had been terribly burned up...

[-Archmage-]

Tiberius spoke, "We have lost 3 legions in this war, we are no longer going to sit back and defend ourselves, legions: 2, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 12 have been mobilized for combat and sent tovarious different hotspots in the lines."
Tiberius spoke again, before anyone could cut in, "I have been sent to organize the main defences of all the factions that will choose to ally with us, 50 centuries of Praetorians will be available to each allied faction. For those of you that do not know, 50 centuries is about 4000-5000 men. I don't mean to offend when I notice and note that the Praetorians are definitely far superior to the guards of tech and the guardians of the Elves, you Dwarves though, you are very formidable, and before I forget to mention it, I'm quite hopeful that we can resolve the border conflicts and become allies with you Dwarves."

[John.d.h]

Tech had a long relationship with the Dwarves, and the two races had collaborated on many of their great inventions over the centuries.  It was rare for any conflict to rouse the reclusive Elves into battle, and especially for them to take the fight beyond their own forests, so there was no doubt that this was something far greater than the typical wars we'd had with the nation of Magic.

Intel was being passed around and grouped together. Theories of what was going on began to rise..........

We will ally with you said the dwarf after deliberation, and we will send all of our allies, divisions of heavy infantry, the ents will come to aid us all said the elf delegate and we will deploy our galadrim archers to all of our allies, the tech will provide medicine, tanks, and the one thing all but the elves lack, fire support, the 42nd crossbow regiment, and the 73rd arbalest regiment will cover the dwarves and we will give the romans support from the 43rd and 2nd arbalest regiments, lastly should you need reinforcments during siege you can always rely on the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions being there to reinforce you, but deep in my heart I felt that the mages would not pause til they annihilated us...

[-Archmage-]

Tiberius cut in, "Oh you've no need to send that much fire support to us, we've got the Roman archers, and definitely some powerful ballistae, we also happen to love to brag about our abilities with a pilum. We'll provide some siege support to those who need it."

[ElimiNator]

"OK" I said "hopefully we can defeat them now, but dose any one know who is on the magics side?"

[-Archmage-]

"Those Rebels have been playing both sides, they need to be wiped out!" announced the Techian diplomat.
Tiberius added. "Agreed!"

[wyvern]

"Still your archers are weaker then our crossbows," I pointed out.

[ElimiNator]

Yes but we have balstas, long-bow men, and fire archers. [Elim, the Romans never had longbow-men -- Arch]

"Ah, but we have ballistae." Tiberius proudly stated.

[John.d.h]

This cocky upstart Tiberius fellow was starting to get on my nerves.  "I hope you get stepped on by a behemoth", I muttered under my breath.
