story of oaurious RP itself

(well done, nice for your first battle, ime glad you didnt try and kill them all, but your character smirks a lot doesnt he 🙂 )

after their battle, the soldiers felt a bit more ready for the war to come, some of them had only just felt battle, the Kitsune had fought bravely, averonians did not think too high of other races but this Kitsune had earnt their respect, the few priests that had come with the army healed the kitsune up pretty well, although he did feel a little cramp in his side, he was ready for battle. The soldiers marched and soon they came to the fortress. The Fortress was the usual phelois stone that the Averonians use to build their structures, stronger than steel and with special regenerative properties makes it a grand material. The Fortress shone white like the city of Aveross, hundreds of archers guarded the top and as the soldiers went inside they came across the General on his dragon, "finally my men, we thought you wouldnt get here, anyway we have a few groups of Knights to aid us in this fight, we have found out that it is worse than we thought, the chaos armies have brought along their own dragon, even a fire giant has come down from the Volcanoes to fight for them" the General looked worried, few armies can stand up against a fire giant and live, especially when a Dragon and thousands of Orcs are there to back it up.

The Soldiers were more worried than ever before, most have not seen Chaos Dragons and fewer still had seen fire giants yet the Averonians do not shy away from battle, "come my men, amass outside the fortress, the battle starts at dawn. The Dragon walked outside with the soldiers following it, the General atop its back looke up as his old friend Alcharad landed before him, "i was wondering when you get here my friend" the general smiled, "well hehe i guess ime not as hasty as you", the old wizard and the general dismounted and walked to eachother, "the men are uneasy, a Dragon and fire giant has been reported among the chaos ranks", the wizard looked down "hmmm, so they should be worried, alas ive handled Fire giants before, and together i think two white dragons can take their Chaos beast from the skies".

The men sat down, taking their fill on meat and various vegtables, the Soldiers around the generals did the same, while the dragons ate their meat while talking and the mounts were in the camp eating the hay. The Wizard watched the uneasy men, some looking nervous and scared, others completly silent, with a flash of his staff he got their attention, a beam of light shone from his staff lighting up the sky, he sent several small balls of light to follow it, each exploded creating a flash, some of the soldiers jumped while others cheered at the spectacle. The wizard tilted his hat and called to the men "do not fear Averonians and kitsunes alike, the beasts of Chaos cannot match our magic and Hephalite put together, we shall destroy this Chaos horde and save the town", the men cheered, their morale boosted by the wizard and his fire work like creations of light, the men got to drinking ale and some even made merry.

Kai ate about thirty feet away from the others. He sighed as he ate the food he was given. After he was done eating he stood up and walked back and fourth bordily. He picked up his spear and twirled it around his fingers.

Suddenly a light flashed in the sky at night, waking everyone at the camp after they had a few minutes sleep, at first they thought this was one of the old wizards fire works yet when they looked up they saw it, an enormous red Dragon, the beast burnt the camp to ashes, scording everyone with its hot breath, its target was obvious, the priest tents were on fire and it took them in its claws everytime it made a swoop. This beast knew the group dispatched to attack the Chaos did not have many priests, it must have been the orcs that escaped. Alcharad and Aronas got upon their dragons while dodging the burning flame, the white beasts flew into the air, sending forth pure light from their mouths the Dragons forced the Red beast to retreat, it was twice as large as a white dragon and possibly stronger too, yet it could not hit them, its strength and power meant nothing compared to their speed and so they chased it away from what was left of the camp.

Without warning as the Dragon retreated, a hail of arrows flew from the darkness, hundreds pierced the bodies of the two mighty Dragons, they fell clawring the air in pain and fell in a heap helpless. "defend the dragons" Aronus yelled as Orcs swarmed the camp from all sides, he with his great sword skill slashed through their ranks effortlessly, he cut and his blade flashed with elemental fire, lightning and ice, freezing, burning and electrocuting the hapless hordes as they came. Alcharad let forth an enormous bright beam of light, even the Averonians squinted and shut their eyes from the birghtness as the wizard sent a ray of heat melting through the armies of the hordes, he sent huge balls of powerful heat as well from his staff, blasting whole groups of Orcs into the sky, the smoke of the fires of their flesh joined the smoke from the camp and the screams of Orcs filled the air, their strength and brute was not enough against the Generals. Averonians were cowering and startled from the horror of the spectacle yet it seemed the Orc hordes were easing up. "go back to your chaotic masters, rabid beasts" Alcharad yelled as he melted the bodies of the few fleeing the battlefield.

As the Averonians saw the last of it, they counted the survivers, although there were a good few thousand soldiers left, many priests had died and hundreds of their men were wounded or shocked completly from the battle, "how did they surprise us so easily" one soldier said trembling", the men recovered a Kitsune lying on its back with an arrow in its arm, luckily it was not deep, merely a scrape, the Kitsune put its spear upon its back and helped the rest of the men bring wounded to the Priests who healed them. The Dragons healed themselves quite quickly and were fine in seconds. General Aronus walked in front of his men "there will be a triple watch, anyone hear anything suspicious you will notify me while the rest get their sleep, this was just a small taster of what will happen in the war tomorrow, hopefully the farming village has some soldiers within its walls".

(Who was the kitsune? me?)

(yes you were lucky, hundreds of arrows and only one got you in the arm 🙂 , i think the priests have healed it by now though)

w00t))

Kai opened his eyes slightly "Shit.... what happened...?" he said sitting up. he noticed his armor was off, as well as his shirt. He sighed and got his shirt on. he looked for his armor but couldnt find it "Hey, wheres my armor?" hhe asked

((Kitsune, spear... I'd say so...))
The attack was nothing more than a means to boost the morale of the barbaric creatures and stem their lust for the inevitable bloodshed that would become of the next morn. In command of the orcs, the dragons and the newly liberated Averonian keep crafted of the macjick-resitant mineral they call Phelois stone was a creature not spawned of the chaos lands, but of the abyss...
he... It, for the proper term was spawned of the óther-side' and rode the chaos dragon's back...
He was known only as 'Lord' as his name was impossible to speak upon this plane and was a pure-blooded Hellfire Daemon of the highest rank.
Normally only one of the darkness took command of such a chaos force as this was but a minor skirmish in the dark god's eyes but one, only one other accompanied him... though only of the lowest position, the half-Averonian, half-Daemon still lorded over the chaos barbarians, she went by the name Ikyllaeyka and was chosen by the 'Lord' out of favor for the attractive dark angel-daemon.

She stood atop the basilicas overlooking the gate-towers to the liberated fortress, admiring the view of the Red dragon's handywork as it lit the sky with an unearthly red hue. 'Lord' appeared beside her silently, his face adorned by the usual cocky smirk that basically irritated Ikylla.
"This material will hold them longer than the Orcs or dargons ever could..." she commented in sheer boredom.
"I did quite-so enjoy commandeering this little abode, many souls for god and he darkens the earth around me!" he spoke, his twisting tounge over-emphasizing each syllable. (They say 'darkens the earth around me' instead of 'he shines upon me' for obvious reasons)

"Still, retrieving it will prove near impossible without siege weapons as the walls were made to fend off from our greatest majicks, leaving their only card to rest in their two hideous white-wyrms!" Ikylla said emotionlessly.

"Do shut up now; I must imagine of how to crush them with the sheer bulk of our forces... and besides, you bore me... away with you, peasant BlackFire!"
"Indeed, milord" she muttered, voice to the brim with malice as she stalked away, stretching her dark slate-grey wings and flew to find something with which to suck the life from for sustanence... maybe one of the fallen Kitsune would make a hearty meal for her Vampyric urges...

(allies, very cool but what fortress are you in, the red dragon in my above post only destroyed the small camp a mile or two away from the main Telidil Fortress, or are you in the Farm town that were about to try to take from Chaos, or are you in a diffrent place all together 😕 )

priests calmed the Kitsune, "calm yourself kai, your weapons and armour have been taken to the armoury, only a small stretch away from this tent", the Kitsune could see the sun coming through his tent, he knew it was dawn and he knew what that meant

outside was the General's, both ordering their troops, the men in armour and swords were on the right, those in robes with staff in hand were on the left, the soldiers were diciplined and ordered, Archer and knight reinforcements came in from the west. They could now see in the light that the small Farm town had been taken, the armies of Orcs, Smiths and the Dragon were there, and towering above all else, several times the size of the highest wall on the town was the Fire giant. "finally veterans" the general stated as the reinforcements came through the line of troops he had martiled. "their forces will not keep us from taking our farm lands" Alcharad said with anger, the old wizard is not often angry but seeing Chaos destroy the camp and kill so many trainie's managed to stir it up inside.

The battle was about to begin, the soldiers were martled and it would only be a little amount of time before they could attack

(no starting the attack, only i can, just wait and ready forces 🙂 )

Kai nodded and walked out of the tent and went to the armoury and grabbed only his spear. He looked at the soldiers who were staring at him "Your gonna get in trouble, kai!" they said in sync

"I may, but what are they going to do about it? im faster without the armour." Kai smirked at them and twirled his spear around his body and over his head and in the air and caught it with his right hand. "Just so long as i can be fast, i can dodge." he smiled at the other soldiers and walked out of the armoury. he walked towards the front lines to see what all generals were there.

Kai sighed when he saw that there were only two. He was hoping for more, because he knew they werent enough by themselves. He walked up to the two Generals. "Forgive me, but you two must know that we do not have enough soldiers to do this alone. I know im a trainee and all, but i honestly dont want to fight a battle that we cant win."

Having said his opinion to the generals he started to turn around "Oh and by the way, im not against anyone, but im not wearing the armor. Its too heavy and i cant dodge attacks fast enough with it." he smiled at them and walked back to the back lines and sat down where no one was.

((You said that the place had walls made of the Phlois stone and I thought you meant a fortress, sorry... she's in the town then... somewhere...))

(yes the confusion is understandable, i was refering to the big fortress, heres what its like:

(the Averonian forces of good are to west, about 20 miles away from the forces of the east which are Chaos armies, the Averonians made camp and a dragon attacked it, further east, about 1-2 miles is the Fortress Telidil, made of Phelois stone, this is a super defence location and has not been atacked, the dragon attacked the little camp and destroyed it and now its Dawn the men are readying to take back the Farm land that the Chaos have taken over, and the chaos have a far larger army than the Averonians)

(thats the basic story happening at the moment 🙂 )

((Okay, I might draw us a map if you don't mind... could you describe the world in the discussion thread?))

"that little Kitsune is going to get himself killed, i hope he doesnt get to close to the flames of the Fire Giant, he'll burst into flames" General Aronus said with conern, "well at least hes got courage, courage can be the diffreence between life or death" the old wizard replied, "well i dont think our numbers will make too much of a diffrence, they may have a 10 to 1 advantage over us but we have twice the speed and strength of most of their troops, combined with your magic and my sword skill we should be able to take this Town back" the general reasured himself but the Wizard was still a little worried, especially as he heard the roar of the dragon and Fire giant from across the great battlefield that they will soon fight upon.

another wave of orcs came running across the battlefield, "here comes another wave, these beasts are relentless" said Alcharad, "well this battlefield will have trouble holding all that numbers at a time, their just increasing their bloodlust, the scent of bodies on the battlefield will increase the frenzy and bloodletting of the orcs when the Full battle comences", "well we better get prepared, their not far now" and with that the Wizard sent of a beam of light which seared through the first row of bloodthirsty Orc's, this time the Averonians soldiers were ready, the Veterans were fearless and put their shields up, the Trainee's although a little woried did the same and felt assured that they could beat this rabble of Orcs. The orcs let off their arrows, several found their places in Averonian skulls and bodies but many simply got reflected from Averonian Shields. With that the orcs took out their Swords and hit into the Averonian lines.

(hmm just draw the battlefield, the world itself is many times the Earths sun, i cannot explain it all, ill draw the main map and you draw the Battlefield, ill describe it throughly in the disussion thread)

Kai smirked and stood up "I cant take this anymore, we need to stop being so defensive, it will only lead to our death!" he yelled to the generals "And personally, i dont want to die!"

The distance between the walls of Vellion and the Averonian camp was greater then even the winds could carry the smell, but she could sense it... the enemy camp was rank with the stench... Fear for their lives, fear for what they might find if and when they take the town back and whether anyone were left alive there.
Ikylla personally overseered the massacre of the farmers and relished in the reaping of souls by her own hand... the orcs had already unloaded the grain silos for transport and plans were being drawn to work the firtile land once they had crushed the Averonian tide with their superior numbers.

The Chaos army had taken Vellion both as a staging point and as a resource for it's wide open lands around the great river Estellion, enriching the soil with the nutrients to sustain constant faming without the need to rest the land. Surplus food and dirnk for the encroaching forces of chaos and the command-post for the forces of the Abyss to overseer the push into the lands of light.

"The end will come swiftly for the living..." Ikylla monologued to herself, she knew it was a cheap cliché but was thankfull there was noone else to hear it... she'd have to eat their soul if somebody had...

((here is the map, unfinished, I know but I have too much on my plate at the moment to put more detail in; the Averonian camp is clear but unfinished though the rest of the uncolored land will all be green, all of the detail for the farmland was done first...))

Although they waited for the Light Harnesser reinforcements, they did not come in time. Dawn had flown in and noon had passed. The Generals had become tired of the Kitsune warriors always moaning about their situation, constantly wanting for battle, it was easy to see that they were once part of the Chaos hordes years before they were freed. the Averonian veterans were dicplined and orderd, not even fear, lust nor anger spread on their faces, the trainee's however could be seen as nervous, they had heard tales of the beasts of the east but now it was time to attack and finally take Vellion back from the hands of disorder.

"form up!" general Aronus said forcefully, the men formed formations, lines, box, the horses made wedge formations and readied themselves. The worry that spread across the trainee's faces uneased both of the generals and the lust for battle that coursed through the Kitsune blood did as well. "this will not be an easy fight, although with our dragons and Alcharads magic powers we should be able to take back Vellion". "now we move my men, step forwards and smite the darkness and hordes of chaos that touch the lands of light"

The soldiers marched, the horses kept a slow pace and the kitsune readied their weapons. Both generals stayed on the ground with their men, their dragons at the forward ranks. Hundreds marching to destroy thousands was not good odds, yet the wizard Alcharad smiled to himself, looking into a small sphere of magic blue energy "reay yourselves my friends, we need your help in this battle" he spoke into the orb quietly so none of the soldiers behind could hear, he turned to Aronus "they say they are readied", "excellent, there may be hope after all" Aronus seemed almost excited as the wizard covered his Orb in his robes.

After a long mach they came to the edge of the battlefield, a high rise on the edge of an enormous field, the hundreds of Light harnessers positioned themselves between the troops and the cavalry. Aronus came before them, "we ride for the light my friends, now do us proud and show us your worth!!" with that the warriors ran, as did Horses, Harnessers and the dragons took to the skies. Across the battlefield a shadowy figuire spoke to his beasts, driving them into a frenzied blood thirst "destroy these blessed people's, take what you need for slaves but at least half you must sacrifice to the dark", the figuire leapt upon a great dragon and flew back to Vellion just as the hordes of enromous Smiths, Orcs and the Fire giant walked its way across the battlefield, carefully trying not to crush half the army nor go to fast as to leave them behind.

The Armies were nearing the clash, and the battle had began as light from harnessers blasted into orc ranks, Alcharad sent forth huge orbs of burning light from the back of his dragon while his own and Aronus' dragon breathed upon the forces of chaos turning them to ash, the soldiers hit into the ranks just as the fire giant came into view

Ikylla was personally into the whole close-combat thing... she pressed the worker-trolls on and they were within two and a half mile of the battle's peak...

"Range!" She called out harshly, the Orcish captain snapped to attention and hefted his sizable spy-glass.
"Range within, Load!" he called in return, then to the trolls to work the next part. They groaned as another Orc whipped them to pick up on of the boulders and move it into position, the wood moaned under the weight of the six-tonne balls of carved rock.

Seven Trebuchets each standing near thirty meters were lined evenly on the edge of the fields, on the other side of the river.
"Ready!" She yelled, the 'pull-teams', several lines of Orcs that would be needed to pull the heavy release mechanisms all stood ready with their thick ropes attached to the heavy iron hooks that held the enormous counterweight upright.
"FIRE!" she finished the sequence, the Orcish captains repeated her words all down the line...
with a deafening CLUNK, the hooks released, nearly onehundred tonnes of counterweight was taken by the sheer power of inertia, dragging with it the throwing arm of the seige weapons.
The rope slings went taught and dragged the boulders in a rapid-rising arc, hurling the ammunition of the great tower to the speed needed to reach the distance.
at the peak of the arc, the sling mechanisms released and sent the boulders into a perfect tradjectory towards the battle on the other side of the river.

at one hundred and fifty miles an hour, the giant soft rocks flew soundlessly through the air and landed directly into the maelstrom of battle, exploding and butchering Averonian and Orc alike in showers of spraying blood. Two of the shots bounced and rolled through the ranks, crashing directly into the Kitsune regiments, narrowly missing Kai though killing most of his comrades.

Ikylla had confiscated the orcish spyglass and surveyed the damage; both sides seemed to falter before regaining their wits and returning to the fray, so that they may once again be fired upon by Ikylla's siege weapons. She turned to the Orc captain and rest the Trebuchets, ready for the next volley. She gazed up the side of the tower, admiring the precision of the weapons, considering that they were orcish designed and made...

I meant to put this onto the last post, so here it is:

(nice maps by the way, i like your colours, what sort of colours do you use, pencil type i mean)

The Averonian Trainee's , fearful of how the battle was going as the mud was liquid beneath their feet, it was not easy to walk in yet their fear after minutes of battle turned into dicipline and training, their numbers dwindling from the onslaught worried the generals yet the Averonian skill kept them going. Aronus landed on the battlefiled atop his dragon, he leapt down from it, his blade came up, the once thought fearless Orcs seemed to cower before him as he quickly slashed his way through them, his blade moved with both dicipline and rhythm, each hit he made flashed with the magic energies his blade as imbued with, blasting those he hit into buning corpses and those nearby falling back with the concussive force. not one Orc could hit the General, hundreds swarmed around him, yet his speed and strength allowed him to cleave a hole in their ranks to clime through, his dragon causing casualties with its breath and claws. A huge Smith came into the Generals sight, the smith moved slowly towards him, bringing its hammers down to crush ranks of Averonian and Kitsune soldiers alike. The general got angered at this "your Chaos masters will not take these lands, beast of Chaos" with that the Smith ran at the general, waving its hammers with all its strength, each hammer was rouphly twice the size of the 9ft tall Averonian yet Aronus dodged the waving pieces of metal and rolled beneath them, he took strength within him and jumped, using his wings to get more height he then descended, blade in hand down into the beasts skull. However it was still moving, it moved its arms in madness, its hammer taking down its own orc allies as it moves, Aronus took his blade and with the strength of the light slashed the creatures head, it fell to the floor and a minute later its body joined it with the victorious General standing smiling atop its back. This boosted Averonian morale but this would not stop the Chaos legions.
