MP: Exterminatus - And the world will burn!

When a spider is in a box, and that box has only one opening, the spiders will pour out of it, and swarm over whatever may be in their path.

The funny little people of Mictlan would do well to remember that when a spider spins its web, it leaves no end untied.

We, Jotunheim, have left their warm farmlands alone, in hope of organized leader arriving and salvaging what they have. Their confused god seems to be unable to act. So far we've taken only mountains (who wouldn't like mountains?) and swamps (The Skratti seem to think they're important).

-Heard from the mouth of a Jarl leading a Jotun war party in southern mountains.

We should set Ulm to AI now.

[jimkehn]

I agree with konming.

[Ferrosol]

I have spoken to Coobe on IRC and he said his absence has been due to a bereavement in the family but he does not object to Ulm being set to AI.

[Juffos]

The nation of Ulm was in tatters. Their god, having forsaken her people leaderless, has escaped this world in a vain attempt to save herself. No one can evade one's impending fate, and devastation will be the one to follow her wake.

A temporary leader, chosen from amidst the people, has been elected. The previous leader led with such passivity that even the industrous people of Ulm were struck by sloth, and thus the nation's armies are almost nonexisting, while the bloodthirsty giants of Jotunland rape their lands.

Ulm is lost.

Alas, the nation of Eriu is torn asunder by the half man half beast aberrations. Let the world know the Erian peoples fought a good fight, and never surrendered. The women and children have been taken to the sacred cliffs to fling themselves to the rocks below. Best, in these situations, to die free than to live a slave to the cruel Minotaurs. But yet, there is hope. Still, there is a chance that Pangaea and her evil hordes may be defeated, and as long as that hope remains, the will to fight lingers.

Every day for two months the Northern army of man had lined up in battle formations. Opposite them, the savage forces of mictlan lined up in the pass in their own battle formations. Neither army advancing. Castellen Sigered hailed to his counterpart, Castellen Heddon. He said "I grow tired of this waiting. What does the prophet wait for? For months he has been preaching our victories. And yet he will not give the order to advance. Every time I ask him his reply is the same. "Time is on our side" What the hell does that mean?"

At that moment the prophet Godwin was seen striding quickly towards his two Castellen commanders. He called out. "Hail commanders. I bring you news from the witches of Avalon. The witches have called upon the forces of the forest to help us. 3 of the enemies holdings have been raided by wolves. The witches themselves lead these raids. The flank of the enemies army has been compromised as the wolves overthrew the mictlan garrison to their north."

Suddenly, the war drums of Mictlan sounded. Godwin looked at his commanders and smiled "it seems our enemies have also learned of the news. Prepare for battle. Do not forget your bodyguards, the enemy has flying halfmen with weapons blessed by death itself. They will surely be seeking our commanders."

The army of Mictlan charged. Amongst the armies of man, the witches sang songs which filled the troops around them with courage. Prophet Godwin was in the center calling down blessing and words of courage to those around him. The command was given and the sky grew dark as hundreds of arrows filled the air. Only a few of mictlans front troops were taken down.

A high priest called down for the blessing of their god. Sacred warriors all along the Mictlan side had their weapons burst with a dark glow. Fate itself also favored them.
The Jaguar warriors raised their obsidion swords and outpaced the sunwarriors which were placed at the front of the army to lure the archers of man. Their morale was high. They roared as one as they charged forward. Too long had they endured waiting. Thunder and lightning struck the forces of man. The sky opened and searing stellar lights fell. Clouds of green spores designed to lull a warrior in to sleep descended upon the forces of man.

The army of man survived the first barrage of magic. Knights charged out ahead of the men at arms, eager to come to grips with the hordes of savage jaguar warriors. Over their heads flew more arrows, again darkening the sky with shafts of death. Yet for all of that, the arrows seemed to be twisted by fate itself and the warriors of Mictlan rushed forward once again unhurt.

With a great crash the jaguar warriors met the first charge of knights. Flying to the rear of the army of man, dozens of blessed eagle warriors reaped havoc.

Castellen Sigered looked around him. It looked bleak. his bodyguards cut down by the furious onslaught of savage eagle warriors all around him. Some distance away he could see the knights who were assigned the duty of cutting down fliers charging to his aid. It would be too late. But he would buy them time. His screams were cut short by the 8 eagle warriors whos blades bit deap into his body.

The 8 eagle warriors were at the rear of the army and were setting about their task of killing all of mans commanders. They descended upon a group of 4 more, with the knights hot on their track. But they would have time enough.

Prophet Godwin saw his commanders in trouble and yelled orders to the closest witches. Calling down the wrath of his god to smite the closest eagle warrior only to be resisted.

The eagle warriors swooped upon Commander Hedda's group. Vines from the earth lashed out upon direction of the witches and entangled the fliers. Even so entangled they fought savagely. Yet this gave time to the knights and they finally caught up to and slaughtered the last of the eagle warriors.

At the front of the battle warriors fell on both sides. Yet the savagary of the mictlan warriors was winning out. Only a handfull of knight and man at arms stood between the ranks of longbowmen and mictlan teeth and claws.

With the threat to the commanders past, order was restored. Archers took aim. A deadly volley again whistled through the sky. As such short range the volley was deadly. The seemingly invincible jaguar warrior ranks was shattered. Invulnerable to the arrows falling around them, the last remaining knights cut a bloody swath through the last of the Jaguar warriors.
Upon seeing this, the rest of Mictlans army fled. leaving behind spellcasters passed out from their efforts to call down lightning upon the armies of man.

[jimkehn]

HAHA!! Good recount, Rytek!!

[Revolution]

Their desperate gambit had failed. The western armies of Mictlan regrouped to lick their wounds. If only the southern armies were not hogging all the lizard cavalry...
