Glest - RPG!

[wyvern]

But I knew my duty and shook my head...

[Zoythrus]

i walked away from my former comrades, there was nothing i could do to help them now.

i took a carriage back to Canjouster and tried to get back to the life that i knew before. i often thought of the armies that i fought with, and the generals who were my friends. the more that i gave to conforming back to the life i once knew, the more that my mind became occupied with the war. as the days went on, my thoughts were directed back to the lands of the Romans, the Elves, the Dwarves, and the Norse. no matter how much i reasoned with myself that i did the right thing, i just couldnt shake the feeling that i abandoned them...

the Magic nation was a very real threat, and i knew that the Resistance needed all the help that they could get. so after a month of mental torment, i got up and packed my bags again. as i took a carriage to the camp, i planned the Magic's defeat:

if we could save the enslaved Norse warriors and their chieftain from my wayward sister, then we would have another large army with us. this might give us the advantage over the Magic. (we'd cut off their mining operations, and give ourselves another army, its a nice swing isnt it?)

after that, we would find some way to break the shield surrounding Zarg. although this isnt the Magic capital, might as well take out the largest stronghold now so that we wont have to do it later. if Zarg fell, then that might demoralize them. with all that psychological trauma, they would lose focus, thus their magical abilities would suffer greatly (obviously making the war much easier)
i got back to the camp, and stood in front of the generals that i fought next to, and they looked like they knew i would come back...

[Zoythrus]

bump!

[wyvern]

I was greeted by great cheers and whoops from my army, they even organized a banquet in my honor

[-Archmage-]

I chattered with the generals and officers while eating. Then all of a sudden I heard yelling and screams, and then the roof imploded and everyone scrambled to get out.

[Zoythrus]

bump, again....

[wyvern]

I could hear screams of dragons, dragons !!!!!

[Gabbe]

We ran

[Zoythrus]

as we ran, I realized that the schematics for the battlemech were still in the building. if we lost these, we would probably lose the war. so in a daring move, i ran back to the now smoldering building. good think that we put the schematics behind the bookcase, because it was in perfect condition. i grabbed the plans and fled to the hangar to make a stand against this raid.

[wyvern]

Actually the battle ended early for as usual the elite anti air division was near and soon there were hundreds of falling dragons...

[Zoythrus]

and then, i, Zoythrus, woke up from the dream i had again. i realized that i was still in the McDonald's parking lot. I got up, got a coffee from the McDonald's, then went home. As i walked home, i couldnt stop wondering about the nameless Tech protagonist and his battle against the Magic.

once i got home, i sat flipped up my laptop's screen and started to play Glest (this odd freesource game that i found on the internet, it's one of my favorites). After a few hours of playing, i got inexplicably tired. i laid down on my bed and fell asleep again...

back to the story!

We had won another victory! but i instantly realized that we need to invest more into our anti-air defenses - another raid like that would kill us!
"Engineers, get some ballistae up, we dont any more of those dragons hitting us again!" i shouted to my men.

[Zoythrus]

bump!

[wyvern]

Rightyo replied the captain of engineers as they got to work...

[Zoythrus]

within a day we had enough air defenses to stop every dragon that would ever assault us. things were looking good.

we needed to stage an offensive, so i called up the Elven generals and told them to get their best spies. We were going to sabotage Magic's energy supplies and their libraries. that would severely cripple their ability to retaliate when we do attack.

[Seanachaidh]

I found the Generals to be unresponsive to my attempts at communication, after waiting three days I began to worry...

It wasn't like them to ignore our communications, and unless something terrible happened, the generals really shouldn't have taken this long to reply...

I stalked over to our designated meeting area, and instructed some people to gather up a squad of ten of our best men,  we needed to know what had happened to the generals...

first off, read the whole thing, you cant just jump in as a whole new character (that was the way it was supposed to be originally, but it didnt work out like that. maybe in the next one). as of right now, our unnamed character (who will probably remain unnamed for the rest of the story) is trying to figure out what happened to the generals.

Read topic and dont post so huge amount of un needed stuff

[Zoythrus]

back to the story:

i led the group into the generals' encampment - it had an eerie silence about it. there was no trace of the missing generals, everything was the way it should have been. but something wasnt right, so i had the team split up and search the surrounding area thoroughly.

no one would have expected to find what one scout spotted - the generals were all dead and decaying. it had appeared that an ambush got them, so we had to remain ever vigilant...

[Zoythrus]

you know, im really sad to see this story die....now we'll never know if the Tech and their allies defeat the Magic...

 :'(

[wyvern]

but nothing else happened for the rest of  the trip, the mages were obviously marshalling their troops for another major battle...

[Seanachaidh]

Suddenly, many of the troops were start to report a strange ringing in there ears.  I myself was starting to experience such a sensation, but dismissed this out of hand as anxiety.  As more reports came, the ringing within my own ears became louder, and yet even louder.  It was now more comparing to a high-pitch whine, and as I looked around I observed that my comrades were starting to drunkenly sway from left to right, as if dizzy.

The whining then double in intensity, causing my head to feel like it was about to split in two.  I clutched my ears and fell upon my knees as did everyone around me.  Obviously at this point I realized that the whining was little more then just hysteria.  My head pounded with the intensity of it, and then could feel.... Oh my... I couldn't feel anything, save for this torturous pressure upon my skull.  My hands gave way, and I laid face down upon the ground, wishing, praying, hoping for this to stop... stop... STOP!!!

As my eyes started to shroud with a peaceful blackness, I saw a large looming shape, and then a scaly, milky white pupil.........
