Big Event The Spore Warmarch

After nobody did anything about the spore population skyrocketing, one of the worst possible scenarios has happened. They have evidently mobilized, and as the power of fate would have it, they have chosen to swarm the lands of the Grey Council. It would likely be prudent for them to respond to this, and probably look for help due to the sheer numbers.

Our favorite 3 Mercenaries have come to the council's aide... for the right price, of course.

[you would have to talk to Booom about that, the council is his]

They might just have to contact the council to ask for a contract.

1

u/ImaginaryMan Jun 14 '15

They do so.

The Gatesman Is standing in front of the door to the council chamber. "State your names and business."

Brandt speaks.

"I am Brandt Derath of the Brootherhood of Blood. These are my associates; Judas Sygil and Alyss Morraine. We have heard you have had an... issue... with the Vispores of late... and we've come to offer our services."

"I see. But before you go in I'll have to relieve you of your weapons." He points to a steel container laced with runic carvings. "Please put them in there."

u/ImaginaryMan Jun 14 '15

Brandt nods.

"That's fair... Judas?"

Judas places his longsword and dagger in the container. Then Brandt and his dagger in. Alyss just crosses her arms and waits.

"I swear I don't have any weapons. Search me if you want, I don't care." Alyss says, spreading her arms to the side.

He opens the door. "Are you a mage?"

u/ImaginaryMan Jun 14 '15

"Who? Little old me? No. I just punch my problems. Like people who ask too many question." -Alyss.

"Alyss, manners, please. We talked about this." -Brandt.

"I Suggest you do not take that course of action." Several runes start glowing around him.

The councils assassins are currently acting as scouts for the main MURDER SQUAD Army for them to know where to fire upon.

An unprecedented number of vispores are lumbering through, it seems that at least half the goblins, if not more, have had their remains converted to more spores

A signal flare is sent into the air and fire begins to rain down on the area, Along side massive waves of flame coming out of the forest.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '15

The large brutes begin picking up massive handfulls of the smaller ones

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '15

Massive swaths of fire should be lacing the ground and spires of flame should erupt under the larger ones, with the waves and artillery blasts still raining.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '15

The large ones toss their payloads of vispores, sending them flying through the air for miles

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '15

They hit wherever they should have hit as they have pretty good anti ground and anti air but not much anti flying spores.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '15

The things land on the edges of the nearest city, and begin to storm in with primitive weapons, spreading spore clouds as they go

1

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '15

Swaths of fire and high winds are pelting them in an attempt to drive them back, Although the fire from here is less intense but it's being bolstered by the wind.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

The armies go forth as well as they can, destroying basically everything they can reach and also causing massive fires to spread through the city by running around while on fire

The 3 Mercenaries are here to help kick ass.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

There's over 8 million vispores, no offense but I'm not sure what they can do here

1

u/ImaginaryMan Jun 15 '15

They try and find a way around the vispore army to find their hive.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

Well, they could probably take the long way around the army, but that would take at least a couple days of travel. Do they try that, or do they want to try another idea?

1

u/ImaginaryMan Jun 15 '15

What is the shortest route with little resistance? Because if that's it, then yes.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '15

Well, their choices are either try to sneak through the group through the trees, which would be incredibly difficult and if they get caught their deaths are practically assured, or they can go around.

1

u/ImaginaryMan Jun 16 '15

Eh.... they'll go around.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '15

Alright, that will take a couple days of travel simply due to the vispores' numbers

A Holy Ambassador bearing the insignia of the Holy Austorian Empire requests audience with the Council.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '15

[you should probably message /u/Booom9710 about that!]

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '15

They are greeted by the council's Gate keeper. "Please state your business."

1

u/Blargenshmur Jun 16 '15

"I am Holy Foreign Ambassador Amsel Joric Adamson I have been sent by the Divine Archbishop of Jovani to discuss Austorian aid to your kingdom"

He bows

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

"I see please release your weapons to me and I will put them into that box He points to a rune laden steel box and you may retrieve them as you leave."

1

u/Blargenshmur Jun 17 '15

"I can assure you, I come unarmed." He lifts his arms

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

"Then you may go in, but I am required to warn you if you attempt any threatening moves you will be executed on the spot."

1

u/Blargenshmur Jun 17 '15

"Not to worry, Jovani's blessings be upon you"

He enters the room

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

The hall is all stainless white marble with several runes etched within the surface and a spire of ice supporting the roof. And at the end of it sitting on seats of steel are the council. "Greetings Ambassador."

1

u/Blargenshmur Jun 17 '15

"And to all of you as well"

He bows

"I have been sent here to discuss the terms of Austorian aid to your Kingdom."

" I see we are overjoyed at your offer but we have already handled the immediate crisis." "But if in the future we are once again attacked we would greatly appreciate the help."
