8:30am 2017-9-15 chris107 Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: Morning Simon
chris107: Morning
chris107: I'm good till just after 12 by the way.
Smon: MOrning
Sandor Sunneson: I'm good but wwaiting for a Royal Mail delivery, lol
Smon: last session - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/session-131-1634447-in-nera-wedding-of.html
Sandor Sunneson: Which will take all of a minute, it's nonsense that there ain't even a drop off approx slot, wait in all day
Smon: Sandor & Laurana got a bit distracted & missed the wedding.
Sandor Sunneson: ha ha
Sandor Sunneson: Is she pregnant too then?
chris107:
Smon: Sarene & Shieldbiter turned up w news from the south that they'd taken over Ahyf.
Smon: You can roll a d6, 6 is success
chris107: eek
Sandor Sunneson: nah, she needs to live a bit.
Smon: I was just reading that the fertile period is 6 days/month so 1 in 6 check pretty accurate.
Smon: >>Smon: Minars: "I have spoken with the Exarch of Bondor, mighty Hakeem, without whom our great victories would have been impossible." DESTROYERBILL: back flip twice Smon: "Hakeem's son Hassan will wed Lady Eratha of Hera, to join our peoples again, as it was in the Old Days. One day they will rule as King and Queen. For now, Lord Hakeem shall be King Regent of Altan-Nerath! Bondor!" Smon: "BONDOR!" yell the happy but started crowd. Smon: Sarene follows Shieldbiter's backflip. chris107: "BONDORR!" chris107: Hakeem draws the sword of his God and holds it aloft, crackling with electrical energy. "BONDORR- BONDORR!" Smon: Minars takes Hakeem's left hand and raises it, leaving his sword hand free to raise the Sword of Bondor. Smon: The Altanians scream deliriously. Smon: "BONDORR! BONDORR! BONDOR!"<<
chris107: I'm sure Sandor wouldn't leave Hakeem's sister in the family way...
chris107: and is as we speak planning to make an honest woman of her...
Smon: >>chris107: "My friends." he begins quietly. chris107: "Today we see history in the making." DESTROYERBILL: um everday is histery in the making chris107: "For it will be here, in the seat of ancient Nerath, that two great peoples will be rejoined." DESTROYERBILL: with the mighty bondor DESTROYERBILL: raaa Smon: The crowd look at the tipsy Dragonborn. chris107: "We have battled long and hard to get here. The worst is still ahead of us." chris107: "But together we will triumph." Smon: "Yaaay!" chris107: "Together we shalldestroy the Black Sun." Smon: "Yaay!" DESTROYERBILL: raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa DESTROYERBILL: and stuuf chris107: "I shall destroy the Warbringer." Smon: "Yaay! BONDORR!! BONDORR!!"" DESTROYERBILL: well good luck chris107: "And together we will build an empire that will last a thousand years." Smon: Minars claps a fatherly hand on Hakeem's shoulder. chris107: "FOR WE ARE HEROES!"<<
chris107: Hakeem is ready.
Smon: GM: So after a night's feasting most of the assembly wake up the next morning badly hungover.
Smon: Anything you want tl
Sandor Sunneson: for we are heroes, just for one day
chris107: H has sworn of the grog until after the big fight.
Smon: to do at the Clan Moot before returning to Hara on Dyson?
Sandor Sunneson: And Hakeem is to fight pure, he is not going to be touched by the penis shaped wand for extra strength
chris107: H would like to go see his clan, to pay his respects and get the blessings of their psychic defender.
Smon: Minars will organise the Altanians to come north of the river as per plan & hopefully trap the Black Sun forces.
chris107: Fingers crossed. Maybe with the help of Shieldbiter's lizardmen to cross?
Smon: GM: You spend the next week at the Clan Moot as the rest of the clans arrive. Hakeem spends time with his clan the Greywolf, Chief Kaag, Laara the young psychic defender.
Smon: The clans seem enthusiastic about the prospect of Hakeem leading them to glory.
chris107: Laara is as much the hero of this as any of us.
Smon: Shieldbiter's lizardmen are assembled at Cahli with the Ghinarians.
Smon: South side of the pincer.
Sandor Sunneson: Once the big fight is over, when victorious, do we charge into the Black Sun?
chris107: okay, shame we can't send a contingent up river to help or at least protect the crossing.
Smon: The Altanians will be bringing log rafts to cross the river at the point Lord Bronze recommended.
chris107: One step at a time Sandor
chris107: We must also be mindful of news from Highhaven.
Smon: Laurana enjoys spending time with Sandor in the magnificent ruins of Nera. She seems more relaxed and happier than he has ever seen her.
chris107: We do not want an army of Orcs streaming up from behind to spoil our plans.
Sandor Sunneson: True, may strength be sent to Ajax and Ursa and the Ladies of Highhaven
chris107: Also, the Unseen Conclave have been very quiet..
Smon: Unseen, even!
chris107: As have the elves and Dwarves. This is a war for all of the good folks.
Smon: They are usually quiet.
chris107:
Smon: Hence "unseen"
chris107: We will need all our allies if we are to be victorious. I feel that they will flock to our banner again once the Warbringer is slain.
chris107: Hopefully just hedging their bets..
Sandor Sunneson: Sounds like the Jacobites, lets kill our bretheran, but should they win at Culloden, we may change sides (which they didn't).
chris107: OOC - The Bronzes too, they have form.
chris107: Hakeem asks for Laara and the tribes blessings in his upcoming fight.
Smon: Laara smiles: "We should ask for YOUR blessing, Exarch of Bondor!"
8:49am 2017-9-15 chris107 Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: ?
Sandor Sunneson: Any plans for weekend Simon?
Smon: Nothing Saturday. Have D&D Sunday.
chris107: "I am a Greywolf Laara, it was your strength that closed the Black Gate."
chris107: Am I here still? Internet seemed to die for a moment there..
Sandor Sunneson: Says on my timeline Chris has exited the room and is now back but name not onboard?
chris107: Had BT out yesterday after 4 days of poor internet.
Sandor Sunneson: You are invisible, lol. You are unseen!!!
chris107: They said it was fixed but connection is weak at best.
Smon: I see no chris :\
Sandor Sunneson: Like the elves and the dwarves
8:52am 2017-9-15 chris107 Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: I can't see you Chris but can read your text
Smon: Chris back now
Sandor Sunneson: and back
chris107: Phew
Sandor Sunneson: could you see our text though?
chris107: Hakeem likes Laara a lot. He would be very cross if anything happened to her
chris107: and OOC to have a Greywolf on the throne will be just amazing
Smon: 23/3/47 You have been at the Clan Moot a week, readying for war. Clans have arrived from north and south - Hoardwardens, Nippuri, even a small delegation of southern Red Tiger under Chief Xatchar.
chris107: I could see all the text, I think.
chris107: Excellent!
chris107: Hakeem will greet them all personally. Morale will be a massive factor in this fight.
Smon: >>"I am a Greywolf Laara, it was your strength that closed the Black Gate."<< Laara: "Well you have my blessing Hakeem... I do not think Highhaven has been attacked yet."
chris107: Thanks Simon, I had missed that bit of text.
chris107: Would it be possible for a leather war harness to be forged, one that would cover the diamond in the breastplate?
chris107: (Wouldn't want Kainos stealing Hakeem's tactics v. Varek! )
Smon: According to legend it doesn't work when covered.
chris107: ah, okay. Best not then.
Smon: (Just put the Conan theme CD on DVD player)
chris107: Just protect it with his shield during the combat.
Sandor Sunneson: lol
chris107: That's my favourite
Sandor Sunneson: what powers does the diamond have?
chris107: I think I'll do the same.
chris107: If H is killed he will be ressurected in the shrine of Bondorr.
Smon: 23/3/47 Minars is readying the tribes for war. The chiefs assemble to bid you farewell for the trip back to Hara.
Smon: Minars: "Friend Hakeem, what will be the sign for us to cross the river and fall upon the Nerathi?"
chris107: "Fare well my brothers. I will see you on the feld of battle. "
Sandor Sunneson: So he is teleported to the shrine?
chris107: OOC - good question.
Sandor Sunneson: Good power to have, no con survival check like 1e then?
Smon: yup
chris107: OOC - both good questions
chris107: Can Laara and the other Psychic defenders communicate over those distances?
Smon: map https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4Iz0vwQYcYmVQI143sXeiRIIQx6t9gFh8jT7ENDberVYAT3E58Q0RjMMoEJdq5I-0t-0LMOPwffcDaInitHqE7YZ3viv4NhmKZNiskEY1gMsM7OFUK0C4U3255_mP4xnio2y8iv91Nw/s1600/Ghinarian%252BHills.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: The 1e cleric is waiting in the wings to 'harm' Kainos
Smon: No but Ernsorn Blue the Druid can use Sending.
Smon: He could 'check in' with Hakeem.
Sandor Sunneson: If Hakeem looses, who are the follow ups to attack Kainos? Sandor? Anyone else?
chris107: Is there a back up system we could use to be sure along with that? The stones?
Smon: Doubt it, didn't Rey have one?
chris107: The timing is pretty crucial.
chris107: Not sure Simon.
chris107: A series of beacons could be prepared in secret?
chris107: along the river?
Smon: Minars: "If you wish, I can send Ernsorn with you to Hara. He can tell me and Lord Shieldbiter in the south when to cross the river."
Smon: "Of course he won't like that too much." Minars grins.
chris107: "That would be most helpful my friend."
chris107: Sandor may be our only hope
Smon: Minars goes over to Ernsorn: "Good news friend! A little mission for you..."
Smon: A disgruntled looking Ernsorn Blue joins Hakeem, Sandor, Laurana & Anna Bronze atop Dyson Logos.
Smon: Sarene & Shieldbiter bid you farewell, preparing to return south and join their forces at Cahli, assembling with the Ghinarian Lords.
chris107: "Ernsorn, Glad to have you aboard."
Smon: Ernsorn nods stiffly. "Aye. Just keep those Haran daggers away from my neck."
Smon: Lady Anna Bronze smiles sweetly at Namelin.
Smon: Dyson: "ALL ABOARD, EH? TIME TO GO!"
Smon: Laara: "Goodbye Hakeem! Give the big guy Hell!"
chris107: "TO WAR!"
Smon: To cheers of "BONDORR! BONDORR!" the great dragon leaps to the wall and from there up into the sky, flying west back towards Hara.
Smon: 60 miles pass by in less than three hours' flight, then you are setting down in the courtyard before the Hall of Bronze.
chris107: "Thank you Mighty Dyson."
Smon: Lord Namelin and his mother Lady Llanet come to greet you with their entourage, casting a suspicious eye at Ernsorn Blue.
Smon: Namelin: "Why is he here?"
chris107: "He is my friend and a friend to all here."
Smon: Namelin grunts. "Hmm. So what news from the Clan Moot, Lord Hakeem? Anna?"
chris107: Hakeem stands shoulder to shoulder with the druid.
Smon: Anna glances to Hakeem. "Well..."
chris107: "Why you are to be father of the new empress, Lord Bronze. But I'll let Anna fill you in..."
chris107:
chris107: "The Nerathi and the tribes of Altan are once more united. "
Smon: Anna: "Lord Hakeem has agreed to serve as Regent of the new Nerathi-Altanian empire, until such time as his son may marry your daughter, brother. Eratha and Hassan will rule as King and Queen."
Smon: Namelin's eyes widen. Llanet: "I thought we had agreed..."
chris107: He bows and smiles broadly at lady Llanet.
Smon: Llanet inclines her head slightly at Hakeem.
chris107: "Agree?"
chris107: d
Smon: Anna: "Bother, I believe you are to be appointed Lord of the western Nerathi, the territories now held by the Black Sun, as vassal to King-Regent Hakeem."
Smon: Namelin glances up at the great head of Dyson Logos, shielding his eyes against the noon sun's glare.
Smon: Namelin: "What say you, Lord Dyson?"
chris107: "Nay, no vassal my lord. But a friend an ally to stand side by side as we prepare a mighty empire for our children."
chris107: "An empire free from foul necromancy."
Smon: Dyson: "It seems a thoroughly good idea to me, Lord Bronze. Gets these Altani fellows back onside. Great warriors, I hear!"
Smon: Namelin pauses, mind working hard, then smiles slightly. "It will be an honour to join our families, to rule together - my Lord Hakeem."
Smon: Anna nods, smiling sweetly. "Come brother, I must tell you all that transpired at the Clan Moot. Chief Minars is wed to Holli Doomfire... and the Altani will aid us against Black Sun."
chris107: "It is indeed. And much better than been King of Bones. King of whatever life the necromancers would offer."
Smon: Lady Llanet smiles shrewdly. "It all seems to have worked out very well, Lord Hakeem... Or I should say, King-Regent."
chris107: "Just Hakeem will do nicely. We arfe friends after all. And will son be family."
Smon: Laurana yawns, glancing to Sandor. "Politics bores me sometimes... Shall we tour the walls, inspect the defences?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sure, see what we see
Smon: Llanet smiles back at Hakeem. "Yes, as you say... Hakeem."
Smon: Laurana puts her arm in Sandor's and leads him off.
Smon: Namelin nods to Anna. "Yes, let us talk. See you tonight, Lord Hakeem - Sandor."
chris107: "Until later."
Smon: Ernsorn Blue stays close to Hakeem, the only two Altani in Hara.
chris107: OOC Hakeem will lay every one of them in the ashes of their city if they betray us
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will ask Laurana if she is feeling confident, as good as this deal is, even if we defeat the black sun, I can see all these clans squabbling again in no time.
Smon: You are given guest chambers again. When he gets a moment Ernsorn approaches Hakeem in private. "You think we can trust these Nerathi?"
Sandor Sunneson: sorry when we defeat the black sun
chris107: "Ernsorn, I know we have had our differences but trust me I have your back here. I hope we can put the past where it belongs and work together?"
Sandor Sunneson: Defeating of the black sun is the victory for the greater good, long term peace I have my doubts
Smon: Atop the battlements with Sandor, Laurana looks west over the plains towards the distant mountains, from where the Enemy will soon come.
Smon: Laurana sighs. "I'm sure you're right. When this is done, I wouldn't mind going elsewhere. Perhaps back to this home you often speak of?"
chris107: @ Ernsorn "We must. We have a chance to build something together here, A chance for all to prosper. If they play us false they will be left with a land of corpses."
chris107: "I guess they will stay true up to the point where Kainos slides his spear through my guts at least."
Smon: Ernsorn nods slowly. "Methinks the Harans will stick by us just as long as they think we're the winning side. If you lose against Warbringer, they'll slit my throat in an instant."
Sandor Sunneson: I would gladly have you by my side, but there are wars there too. (It's as if someone is playing a game and wherever we go, we end up fighting )
Smon: OOC x-post
chris107:
chris107: We are thinking along the same lines.
Smon: Ernsorn smiles. "We think alike, Lord Hakeem."
Smon:
Smon: x-post again
chris107: This is an alliance on a swords edge.
Sandor Sunneson: I would be delighted to have you by my side Laurana
Smon: Laurana puts an arm round Sandor's waist. "I am not averse to a little war..."
chris107: OOC - If Lord Bronze plays us fals and Hakeem lives he will lead the Altani in such a bloody war upon the lands of Hara that will make the very Gods weep.)
Sandor Sunneson: I would even feel we could add to the carnage if the black sun are defeated, just attack some randoms for the experience (points) as part of this game
chris107: Hakeem Bloodyhand will go down in history!
Smon: GM: OK reckon I will skip forward a week...
Smon: Over the next few days you oversee the preparations for war.
Sandor Sunneson: Skip to Las Vegas, in the blue corner....................
chris107: Gosh, I'm really quite nervous. This has been such a long time in the making
Smon: The soldiers of Hara are mustered and trained under Lord Bronze.
Smon: The wall defences are strengthened.
Smon: Ernsorn engages in frequent Sendings, and confirms that the Ghinarian host is mustered at Cahli, the Altani are assembling to the north.
Sandor Sunneson: Would Lord bronze be willing to charge Kainos if Hakeem is defeated? Are there any others? Hopefully should this horrendous situation occur, Kainos won't have much left so a group of us with a surprise attack whilst he celebrates might bring the big thing tumbling down
Sandor Sunneson: Who was it who Sandor lent Kane's sword too?
Smon: 30/3/47 Ernsorn approaches Hakeem with worried look. "I have spoken with Thuruar, far to the north."
Sandor Sunneson: he could be involved in the counter attack
chris107: "What news?"
Smon: Rasgar Skarrison Fergus, Namelin's guard.
Smon: "The rains are ending - the Black Sun will soon be here. And more than that..."
chris107: 1 min going to grab a coffee.
chris107: Got my coffee.
Smon: "Black Sun agents are active in the North. The Priestess of Athena in Zothay has been murdered, her head left on the steps of Lord Kritas' mansion. The Skandiks of Zothay have received emissaries..."
chris107: I smell of shit this morning
chris107: back
chris107: "Bastards!"
Sandor Sunneson: Horse? Human?
chris107: Unless the priestess is a horse I'm guessing human?
Smon: Ernsorn: "Thuruar spoke of a Red Priestess, Megaera Lorvas. He said she has returned from Hell. The Skandik King of Ossary has joined with her - joined the Black Sun."
Sandor Sunneson: lol
chris107: (Looks like Kyle got to the computer )
Sandor Sunneson: I picture that you and Kyle live in a nice house in the Yorkshire countryside, so could be horse
chris107: "I knew his plan to send her to the Styx was foolish!"
Smon: Ernsorn: "Thuruar sends his apologies."
chris107: "We should have slit her throat when we could."
Sandor Sunneson: That's not like you though Hakeem, you stayed true to yourself.
chris107: "Can we get word to Sarene to keep watch upon our coast?"
chris107: "That murdering bitch could cause us problems. "
Smon: Ernsorn nods. "I will inform Sarene."
chris107: "Ernerson, I think we keep this news to ourselves."
Smon: Ernsorn nods. "It should be some weeks before the Skandiks can reach our shores."
chris107: "If I am victorious I will deal with the Lorvas bitch myself. We do not want our allies getting windy on us at the last moment."
Smon: "As you say."
Smon: GM: 2 more days pass. The thunderstorms that have long hung over the western mountains are gone now.
chris107: drat
chris107: A good thunderstorm would make an excellent backdrop.
Smon: 2/4/47: Late that afternoon a gate sentry blows an alarm horn. Heading to the west gate, you see an Altanian warrior riding tiger-mounted towards the gate.
Smon: Hakeem recognises him as Mountain Lion clan.
chris107: "Stay close by me Ernsorn."
chris107: He hurries to greet the fellow.
Smon: Namelin orders the gate opened, the warrior rides in and dismounts.
Smon: "Lord Hakeem! Princess Lyssana sent me to tell you - the Warbringer is coming!"
chris107: "Prince Sandor, I think our time is here. Good luck my friend."
chris107: Hakeem nods.
chris107: "Thank you. I am ready."
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you Hakeem, I look forward to seeing you victorious
Smon: "Our forces are engaging their outriders, as you commanded, but avoiding open battle. Their main host comes here, to Hara."
chris107: "Lord Bronze. Alert the troops. I go to do war upon our enemies!"
Sandor Sunneson: So is it only Sandor of all the fighters who will be following up an attack on Kainos if the unfortunate happens?
Smon: Bronze nods to Hakeem.
chris107: The big bald guy too Fergus
chris107: With Kaine's sword
Smon: Mighty Rasgar looks to Sandor. "Let's see how it goes, friend."
Sandor Sunneson: Cool
chris107: and advantage for fighting beside you
Sandor Sunneson: I'm dissapointed Rasgar, hopefully it won't come to this.
Smon: Preparations are made. As the sun sets, Ernsorn Blue approaches Hakeem, looking worried again. "My Sending to the Amazon Queen Artemisia has failed."
Smon: Ernsorn: "Your dwarf Ursa is with her, aye? I have met him - I can attempt a Sending to him."
chris107: "This is ill news indeed. Yes Ursa the Dwarf is with her."
Smon: Ernsorn nods and retires to his chamber, returning a few minutes later.
chris107: "So long as your spells can alert our allies here when the time is right also?"
Smon: "Ursa lives. There has been a great battle. The Amazons ambushed an Orc host west of Highhaven. With the help of the wizard Ajax the Orcs were vanquished. But an evil Shade appeared and slew Artemisia before Ursa could save her."
chris107: "Another great evil to avenge."
Smon: GM: Ernsorn can do 4 Sendings/day if he uses all slots.
chris107: "My sister is no Queen of the Amazons of Highhaven then?"
chris107: now
Smon: Ernsorn: "Ursa said tell Laurana she is now Queen, aye."
chris107: "Then today I shall do battle in memory of mighty Queen Artemisia!"
chris107: "And in honour of their new Queen, Lauranna!"
Smon: Ernsorn nods. "I used a second Sending on Ursa. The Amazons want to know if they should march north now to join us at Cahli, or stay?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look at Laurana
Smon: GM: Hakeem tells Laurana the news?
chris107: "Let them rest of now. Just send a small contingent of her Griffon Riders if they can."
Smon: Ernsorn nods. "As you will."
chris107: Hakeem will tell her. It's only right.
Smon: The last rays of the setting sun descend behind the western mountains as Laurana listens sombrely to the news, Sandor beside her.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will stay out of distance as brother and sister chat
Sandor Sunneson: oh, ok, maybe not then
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: Laurana: "Artemisia said it would end this way, brother. What do you want me to do?"
chris107:
chris107: "You are Queen now my sister. Your people will need you. Stay here if you will but if I fall, get back to them, risk no treachery. A small force of griffon riders are on their way. Be prepared to fly to Highhaven."
chris107: "If all fails and we get split up. Sandor, Laurana, meet me at Highhaven. Wait as long as you dare."
Smon: Laurana nods. "I will do as you say."
chris107: "Then I am content. And ready to face my doom."
Smon: GM: A tense night passes. Warm dry winds blow from the west. The sun rises from the eastern ocean, morning light glittering on the spear-points of the approaching host...
chris107: "We must draw them closer."
Smon: An army approaches Hara from the western plain, at its head a mighty godlike figure, the height of four or five men, girded in shining bronze, wielding terrible spear and shield.
Smon: Namelin's men man the walls, archers at the ready.
chris107: "Be prepared to make your sending when we judge they are past the point of no return before our forces fall upon them."
Sandor Sunneson: I guess you'll be using a rage here Chris
Smon:
Smon: Naw, you should save it!
chris107: Hakeem looks upon mighty Kainos, the Warbringer, Son of Ares for the first time.
Sandor Sunneson: Can this not be resolved by an arm wrestle ?
chris107: hehe
Smon: GM: The enemy approach to within a mile.
Sandor Sunneson: or battleships?
chris107: You sure you don't want to negotiate Fergus?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor gets the chess set out
Smon: Ernsorn: "I am ready to Send to Minars and Shieldbiter, my lord."
chris107: "Erneson, work your magics. It is time."
chris107: "Please."
Smon: "I shall tell Minars & Shieldbiter to cross the river."
Smon: Mid-morning, 3/4/47.
chris107: Hakeem will take the field. Clad in panoply of his God. The Sword of Bondor already crackling with lightning. The shield given to him by Lady Meda upon his arm.
Smon: Half a mile or so from your walls, the Black Sun host halts. You see the proud mounted knights in shining armour, the Legion infantry, and larger in number, a host of Orcs, now cuirassed in steel.
Smon: Here and there are small groups of Risen Heroes - undead soldiers raised by the Black Sun priests. But without their Gate there is no sign of the vast undead legions they once commanded.
chris107: Hakeem walks slowly out of the gates. A single small human figure. Unbowed before this great host of evil.
Smon: Hakeem strides out the Gate, to nervous cheers from the Nerathi behind him.
Sandor Sunneson: Is there anywhere Sandor and Rasgar can watch from which is close enough to get a surprise attack in but stay back from the fight itself?
Smon: The Warbringer stride forth from the Black Sun host, great armoured helm looking down at the tiny mortal.
Smon: Rasgar is with Namelin & the others on the walls, watching.
Sandor Sunneson: guess that's a no
chris107: "I AM HAKEEM GREYWOLF! I AM A MAN COME TO SLAY YOUR GOD! SEND THE WARBRINGER! LET HIM FACE ME IF HE DARE!"
Smon: Nerathi cavalry http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/42721/blackCo.jpg
chris107: "COME WARBRINGER! LET THE SPEAR OF ARES MEET THE SWORD OF BONDORR IN FARE BATTLE BERORE THESE WALLS!"
Smon: Kainos the Warbringer http://40.media.tumblr.com/65d01b5e6e8ee756d0bead6c9a99d8c1/tumblr_inline_nsomaslFyf1tw8c6n_500.jpg
Smon: Kainos slams the butt of his spear into the ground.
chris107: OOC - GULP
Smon: The earth trembles, great rifts run out from the point of impact.
chris107: RAGE!
chris107: "MAGIC?! COWARD!"
Sandor Sunneson: you've only 3 left
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: Luckily no rifts open under Hakeem's feet.
chris107: Fergus, If Hakeem dies it will not be for lack of raging
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: (OOC Hakeem Rages - 1 round) Kainos: "BONDORR. WE MEET AT LAST."
chris107: Hakeem focuses his inner resolve, strength and rage. He thinks of all the friends he has lost of all the hurts the Black Sun has done to him. But most he thinks of malenn and his Son.
Smon: "MANY OF YOUR HEROES HAVE I SLAIN. GREAT THE WOUND-PILE."
Sandor Sunneson: (Sandor runs accross the battlefield with a tea trolley, tea and biscuits? Can we not talk about this? :P)
Sandor Sunneson: good luck Chriis!!!
Smon: "MANY OF MINE HAVE YOU SLAIN. THIS PLEASES OUR FATHER. COME TO ME, BONDORR. COME TO ME."
Smon: (Rge r2)
Smon: GM: The two great Champions close, to face each other a quarter mile (450 yards or so) from either side, beyond bowshot or spell range.
chris107: "I AM HAKEEM GEYWOLF AND BONDORR IS MY GOD. FOR BONDORR, FOR MY PEOPLE!" Hakeem bounds towards the Demi-God, the sword of Bondorr crackling it's rage his shield covering his breast. " BONNNDOOOORRRRRRRR!"
Smon: There seems to be a slight shimmering purple haze over the battlefield, as sorcerers and priests on both sides direct their energies to the cause, but the powers are equi-matched and the Champions feel nothing.
Smon: Hakeem races forward. Among the Nerathi knights a quarter mile off are the standards of the Cormarrin Princes, Halvath and his brother.
Smon: Too far to see their faces, but they are watching, just as is Namelin, Llanet, Laurana et al on the walls.
Smon: "FOR BANE!"
chris107: He hardly notices the standards of these puppet kings.
Smon: The Warbringer Kainos strides forward, spear raised.
chris107: All his hatred and rage are focused upon Kainos.
Smon: Hanging from his belt are the heads of countless slain heroes - Prince Rameses Mountain Lion, Sword Knights in abundance, the great Warforged Bulwark... and Rey.
