The Renegade Master 09-30-03, 07:55 PM	The Fortress of Nightmares had finaly reached its destination. Slowly its advance until at last came to a hault over the inland sea. In the distance tall snow cap mountains loamed. To the east, the first like of the riseing sun crested over the peaks casting its light across the lake and lands. The Dark Fortress Black clouds now standing out agest the white light of dawn, it was almost as if the sun itself was trying to snuff out the darkness of hell itself.. but the darkness would not surrender and remained. From the depths of the dark fortress a beam of dark energy crackled forth and shot into the cold waters of the lake, forceing the waters to part and give way to the dark magic that spawned the energy, until at last a single collum some 30ft wide stood clear of water. The Shaft of air sank some 500 ft into the depths of the lake.... dark.... prehaps even darker then the clouds that engulfed the dark fortress. On the lower level, the Dark General's Army was ready and waiting.. the beam of negative energy scaresly 20ft from them rippled and pulsed down into the lake keeping the waters at bay. The Misfigured Demon awaited the departure of the General... things in celestia were already starting to heat up, and events were being to play into motion. Events that could not be stoped now nor altered. ------------------------------- Meanwhile instead the lower levels of the Fortress of Nightmares the Diabolical manchinery move in its mechnaical motions, blue sparks of energy rippling about its glass sphere as strange clouds seem to have formed inside its glassy prison. One of the Nercites noding in aproval, others went abouut thier tasks. "...The wheels are being to turn now Lord Hell Master.." The Head Nercite spoke to the shadows... it was plan to see thier was nothing standing thier... but all knew Hell Master was always watching... and waiting for its time. (( Ok all... evil badies basicly have a choice here.. your ether on the side of Hell Master, or You are hear for your own dark purpose.. as to good guys I think you can guess what your here for :) have fun all..... Death Knight... Thats your cue :devil: ))
Gene_Kynes 09-30-03, 08:29 PM	Raising his runeblade to the air, the Death Knight quietly says a few words...yet every soldier in his army heard it. "Teach those who dare oppose us...that Death itself has come for them" And with that, he leads the charge down into the dry part of the lake. He knew every being in his army could survive the waters, due to a lack of lungs. However, didn't mean they would fight as effectively. Motioning his Nightmare forward, he moves with the offensive move that he himself ordered. The Necromancers are flanked and guarded at all sides, while the rest of the army is in near-perfect formation. Through the maddened whisperings in the Dementist's head, Dager clearly heard... Are your forces ready, Summoner?
Random NPC 09-30-03, 08:37 PM	Down below in the depths of the Great lake, the once holy and noble ruins of Dawns Peaks rested. Athough much of the once great city layed now in ether ruin or covered in sea debrie it stilled held a certain grandur. Statures of long forgotten Hero's and God's doted its land scap. Pillars of marble layed fallen still were they once stood tall. Skeletons and broken weapons still lingered... standing testmony to the horror that had befallen the once great temple. Further down... deep into the sealed reaches of the Fallen Temple... A still heart, suddenly took a beat...at first it remained still... then a second beat..... followed by a third, the heart began being once more, the flesh that surrounding it regenerateing as well. One of the sunken eyes opened and looked about...Something had come....Somthing that did not belong here. Above on the fortress of Nightmares, none were the wiser of what had awoken below.... none would could... for who would dream possible, what was buryed in the depths of Dawns peaks. Who indeed.....
Dager, Dementia Master 10-01-03, 03:35 PM	The twisted man looked at his army of horrors and thought Hmm I need to make a spell that will make my creatures dispellable and make it so hard to counter Agudo won't break it "Well Duke it looks we will soon siege the castle this is going to be fun," Then he started casting the spell for his nightmares and he started cackling.
Gene_Kynes 10-01-03, 06:18 PM	The Dark General smirked, and lead his troop slowly, spreading slightly into the city. At the first sign of hostile resistance, notify me, before attempting to attack. The necromancers looked to the mounted warrior, then at the skeletons, but the Duke only shook his head. "We'll save your spells for our own fallen. Skeletons are worthless arrow fodder." Nodding, the dark disciples continue their march deeper into the city. Bellarosa's blade began emitting frost, and he pulled the fatally freezing weapon out...prepared to kill anything that dared get in his way.
Dager, Dementia Master 10-01-03, 08:46 PM	Dager dissapeared for awhile and returned less deranged "I am sorry I must leave IO have unfinished buisness the nightmares are yours I will come back," and before the Duke could talk Dager was gone.
Aranamarunda 10-02-03, 08:01 AM	Archecapater was not used to the diplayment of such raw power. He had power of his own, o yes. But they were more of the fireblast_it_away kind and some polymorphing and protective spells. The horrors he saw displayed were things he couldn't even imagine bringing them into their temporary existance. And yet... His lord had just blown away all of the fiendish figures and even disrupted his live for a while. He bowed to his master and changed to a more simple shape... He could have been the brother of the deathknight. "I'll walk with you, I'll fly with you and I'll be your steed if you want me to. Through away your Nightmare horse and spread an aura of overpowering fear That will be my part in this battle, as I will let my breath rage across the fields of Mount Celestia itself. Non of the Celestials will stand before me. Their corpses will be black and their blood will be the ambrosia of our dark masters! Let us go to the fields of battle and make war!" He looked at his master and waitd for his next command.
Abysmal 10-02-03, 11:06 AM	*A hole in the soil formed. It gaped up to the skies showing eternal darkness, all the way down to the core of the world. The silver moon light shone omniously, fearing the appearence of an old enemy. The small creatures, not yet wiped out my the undeads wrath, fled immedietly, sensing an aura of death. Emotions as hatred, loathing and passion swept over everybody in the area, undead as the living. The emotions seemingly flown from the hole of darkness. Just as everyones gaze went to the hole, an essence of some sort emerged from the soil. Coming from the depths of the world, the darkest of magic, the most treacherous of traitors, the most lethal of killers, The Banished Mage returned to the surface. After milleniums of inprisoning by the gods, for a failed attempt to take over Terisia, he have finally escaped. The essence turned into the frail body of Banished Mage. Not using his body for thousands of years, the skinny mage fell to his knees, coughing blood. He was as thin as a human can possibly be. His eyes where closed, his dark eye sockets giving him the looks of an undead. He pulled his hood down, so it hid his face. He clutched a staff tightly still coughing blood. With great effort he spoke with a voice, unused for milleniums* "I am.. Banis... Banishe... Banished Mage.. I seek.. I seek your help, im.. Dying.. So much pain.. So much power.. Love.. Hatred... An.. And... Punishment..." *The dark mage fell down on his chest and stopped breathing*
Duke Bellarosa 10-02-03, 07:40 PM	(( Point taken. And welcome, Abyssmal! )) Bellarosa looked towards the faithful, yet corrupt dragon. "I will consider your offer...but we shall train together...after this. For now, you shall be at my side as a...potential champion of death. Come now...the scouts report something...up ahead." Leading his steed through the troops, he comes across the dark, muttering figure...and the Death Knight leaps off the hellish steed. "...You...made an error...coming to us. Yet...you could...be infinitely useful, Banished One." He smiled, stalking towards the sorcerer, and lays the chilling blade on the man's shoulder, if he doesn't evade it. "...You can shed this worthless...meat. You can live eternally. You can do what you wish on this world...for you can have no fear of hell...because you will never die." M'lord. May I knight this one...to Lichdom? "...If you swear eternal loyalty to Hell Master, and to his cause, you will be granted these boons. Your magic research cannot be hindered by mere...natural death. You will become what every Spellcaster secretly wishes to be...a Lich. Do you wish to forsake pain, life, and mortality, Mage?" The blade...if it's on the man's shoulder...seems a nagging reminder of the possible alternative to ascending (or descending) to Lichdom. (( Yes, the guy's stopped breathing....but Bellarosa's Lawful Evil. :P ))
Banished Mage 10-03-03, 08:55 AM	*The frail body starts shaking. A hand covered in blood raises from the pathetic mans robes* ... End... the pain..
Banished Mage 10-05-03, 11:10 AM	Qualla... L' jiv'undus.... Morfeth uns'aa natha elghinyrr'fearn.. qee'lak..
Banished Mage 10-06-03, 11:19 AM	*Banished Mage breaths one last time and then stops breathing. As his last bit of live source leaves his body, he falls from his knees to his flat back. A moment later, he dissapears and become ashes, who flies off with the wind* See youu... Sorry, that just took too long!
Gene_Kynes 10-06-03, 05:19 PM	(( *sigh.* Okay, okay, sorry...you just coulda PM'ed me, you know. ;) )) The ashes freeze in space...space that somehow dropped below absolute zero in tempature. "Fool. Think we'd let a mage such as you...escape our service?" The mage feels a sudden abyss pull onto him...as a nearby Necromancer's body bursts from within, the blood vessles frozen. With grand, profane, and elegant gestures, the Dark Knight rips the man's body part with magical skill alone, leaving only a bare, frozen skeleton. Soon, the mage's will is forced into the skeleton...who's eyes suddenly burn a firey blue. Chains of ice attach themsleves to the Banished Ones's wrists, and drag behind the lich silently...refusing to melt. As the Lich's power raises beynd that of mortality...the Knight seems...weakened by the ordeal. "Ih...it....is done...."
Banished Mage 10-06-03, 06:08 PM	Do you really think that I, will sink low enough to enter the ranks of the undead. As a skeleton? *The distorted skeleton seems to smile cruely, making it look even more wretched. The skeleton gestures slowly towards Duke Bellarosa with a pointed finger* Oh, you shalt not drag me in chains? Who do you think you are messing with? You don't stand a chance, dear knight. Now observe how I break your pathetic curse, undead! *The skeleton puts two fingers to his temple and chants solemly on an ancient language. A red glow radiates from the being but nothing seem to happen. The skeleton sways a bit and then fall to the ground limplessly* I..am too.. we..ak.. Still... Pain.. Always pai..n.. *The skeleton trembles omniously, opening its eyes widely as if getting an idea. The tremblin bones are slowly being covered with black scales. Then stumps of flesh and claws emerges from the bones. The skeleton stands up and bends its back spastically. Wings of enormeus size emerges, while a tail also makes it way trough splinters of bone. After a few more seconds, there is no skeleton only a large, black dragon. It sneers viciously and looks at the undead Knight* I should kill you... But on the other hand, you granted me the powers of lichdom, just what I needed.. Soon I will have the same strenght as.. before. Farewell, Knight. *The large dragon launches itself in too the air and quickly flickers out of sight* [ooc]I dont wish to participate in this thread, its just make too slow progress, nothing personally. So see ya all on other threads :).
The Renegade Master 10-07-03, 09:06 PM	(( SOrry for my unattentiveness... been busy with many many things. Hopeful I haven't lost anyones interst yet :) )) The Sunken City of Dawns peak layed before the Dark General and his army of the damned. As of yet thier activeties had remain unnoticed by the Celestials... most likly the battle that raged thier was keeping thier eye looking else were. It wasn't long before the dark general became aware of something... Not being able to realy put a name to the feeling, the Dark General only could feel a direction it came from. Almost as if what ever it was was calling to the Dark General... Moving throw the sunken city 2 of the front skeletal guards suddenly burst into white flames, falling to the ground in ash. One of the nercomancer looking to the dark Knight. " Holy Wards M'Lord.... we will try our best to detect them before that happens again. " It was clear inch by inch thier was becoming an increased number of traps of every type. Most of them doing little to no harm to an army of dead. Some like the holy ward proved rather... menancing. The Nercomancers for now were able to detect and disarm or help lead the troops around the wards, 2 hours pasted until at last the army found itself standing in front of a giant Golden door. The Door was carved with intercate detail and inscriptions. Past the fact that the door was made of solid gold, it was priceless in its art work allone... but physical treasure were not what the Dark Lord had sent them here for.. something grander remain hidden deep within the ruins of dawns peak. --------------------------------- Else were, a great eye watch the armys approuch with interst... long had it remain dorment.. a certain sadistic glee could almost be descearned from the eye, as it gazed on in wonderment.
Aranamarunda 10-08-03, 05:40 AM	"My Master!" Archecapater said: "We could just as easily fly over most of the traps and drop some minor living beings on them so they will be sprung! This is to time consuming. What thinkest thou?" Archecapater spread his wings, eager to sore through the air.
The Renegade Master 10-23-03, 07:00 PM	This thread will be contiuning on Monday Again. Due to many delays and net troubles it has kept the GMs away from the thread boards. Sorry all for the delay!
The Renegade Master 11-02-03, 09:40 PM	(( Everyone still alive????......))
