This just in! Ashtan under attack from Yudhishthira

edited December 2012 in North of Thera
The dragon Yudhishthira shouts, "You think to probe my mind, tiny Ashtani, in
hopes of vanquishing me?"

A fiery red star arises from the peak of Polyargos, swifting winging its way
through the skies of Sapience.

Dark, oppressive clouds swirl in the skies above, occluding the lights of the
firmament and casting gloom across the earth.

fool, a coward, and a weakling."

Legatus Sohl Vallah, Herald of Ruin's Carmian voice resonates, "I stand right
here, wyrm. What is it you wait for."

The voice of the dragon Patriarch Kard Silvertongue, Mace of Justice thunders,
"Which fool? They have many."

The dragon Yudhishthira shouts, "You can save them, fool. Only you."

[The deathsights go on...]

The faces of the Conclave, eyes alight with some secret thought, glimmer 
momentarily in the sky before fading away.


[Reports of Ormyrr surrounding Ashtan along the Petra entrance].

[Deathsights].

An unfinished road off the Prelatorian Highway (road).
It is raining heavily, pregnant drops of water pouring down onto you. A ladder
of long, soft leaves comprises a wispy Weaver's Fern along the ground. A runic
totem is planted solidly in the ground. There are 8 ormyrr priests here. There
are 11 muscular ormyrr here. There are 4 ormyrr guards here. There are 2 potash
crystals in a group here. There are 2 goldenseal roots in a group here. There
are 2 bloodroot leaves in 2 groups here. There are 3 salt crystals in a group
here.
You see exits leading southeast and west.
"Trust in me, Universe, I will deliver / the promise that no-one shall ever / set their mind to games or play / for Serious Order is the way. I will not rest until it is done; / rules will be made for everyone. / They will know Order and its graces - and just like me, all shall be Greyfaces." - The Heroes of Sapience, Act 5, Greyface.

    I wish I had the log of what happened but it's gone from my buffer already. :(

    Edit: was fun though, +1 admin

  • Yeah that was cool.

    I didn't get any nod for following Yudhi's wishes and solo attacking him though. Beya didn't even put my death in the log! I am disappointed. I better make it into the events post.

    Sorry about that! There were quite a lot of dead Ashtani.

    Do you have a log? I wish I had something from the point of view of the Ashtani. This is the sort of thing I want to make plays and stories about IC.

  • I don't have much of whatever happened, since I died fairly quickly and wasn't following Sohl around, but here's the beginning:

    The dragon Yudhishthira shouts, "You think to probe my mind, tiny Ashtani, in hopes of vanquishing me?"

    A fiery red star arises from the peak of Polyargos, swifting winging its way through the skies of Sapience.

    Sohl strums a few notes on a Lasallian lyre, and a prismatic barrier forms around him.

    The dragon Yudhishthira shouts, "Let me teach you a lesson in the silence of death as I devour your entrails."

    Tapping into the unfathomable depths of your power, you sense that Sohl is at Parapets above the gate of Ashtan, in Ashtan.

    Parapets above the gate of Ashtan.
    It is raining heavily, pregnant drops of water pouring down onto you. A rune resembling a horse has been sketched into the ground here. Encased in gold-plated armour, a knight of the Illuminati stands motionless in silent vigil. A Shadow Amazon stands ready to defend Ashtan, whip in one hand and darkbow in the other. Casually sending electricity to dance between the fingers of her iron gauntlet, a smirking War Witch of Ashtan stands guard. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. Mounted atop the battlement, a mighty wooden ballista points out over the gates. Stretching its wings in an impressive display is an ebony pegasus, its dark coat absorbing the surrounding light. A terrible red dragon towers over you here.  Legatus Sohl Vallah, Herald of Ruin is riding on an ebony pegasus. He wields a Shield of Absorption bearing the House arms of the Occultists in his right hand.

    The dragon Yudhishthira says, "You hide behind the barrier of cowards." <--- I was very confused why we weren't being attacked

    The dragon Yudhishthira says, "Fight me like the heroes of old."
    The dragon Yudhishthira curls his lip and sneers arrogantly.

    You say, "Worth an attempt."

    7094h, 6743m, 33040e, 29334w cexkdb-

    The dragon raises one great, scaly eyebrow at your foolish action and utters a sinister chuckle that rumbles like thunder.

    You are no longer stunned.
    2835h, 6743m, 33040e, 29352w cexkdb-

    A fearsome wyvern batters you with an overhead blow.
    You have been slain by a fearsome wyvern.

    Then Sohl bailed and shouting started. Also this happens every time we do anything with Yudhi:

    (Party): You say, "Nw of gates, currently."
    6788h, 6363m, 33040e, 29980w cexkdb-
    Mizik has been devoured by the red dragon Yudhishthira.
    6788h, 6363m, 33040e, 29968w cexkdb-

    6788h, 6363m, 33040e, 29980w cexkdb-
    The ground shakes as a great red dragon comes rushing in from the north, its great wings unfurled buffeting you with great blasts of air.
    6788h, 6363m, 33040e, 29980w cexkdb-
    The dragon Yudhishthira's eyes gleam as Kilalli is butchered with a wicked blow.
    Kilalli has been slain by the dragon Yudhishthira.
    6788h, 6363m, 33040e, 29980w cexkdb-
    You shudder in fear as a titanic form towers above you, its voice the sound of a thousand snakes as it growls at you, "What are you doing here, mortal FOOL!?"

  • Accepting the challenge of Yudhishthira when he's (it's?) come to your city with intent to kill people and cause damage.

    You can take the soldier out of Mhaldor, but you can't take the Truths out of the soldier.
  • I astralformed to Mhaldor in a brilliant attempt at griefing, but yudhi didn't take the bait. :(

  • It's that last bit  about the Conclave that's got me to thinking.
  • JonathinJonathin Retired in a hole.
    Let's hope this doesn't reopen the mirror magic bit.
    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.
  • Although in all seriousness I hope they continue with the sieges of cities. Would be fun if Ashtan fell next, then the rest. We all rebuild!
  • The Cabal that controls the Council that controls the City that controls the continent?

    They planned it over AIM.

  • Cooper said:
    That was kind of rude. Sycaerunax raided pretty quick after Yudhishthira raided. And they abused timezones.

    Looks like everyone's Christmas is gonna be ruined. 

  • If Ashtan fell, it would just be replaced with some OOC clan and nothing would change. That's why status quo is better than destroying Ashtan.

  • admittedly I really did want more of the "sieging cities" part to go on, even "scarping the old, bringing out the  new".

    Yes I know the "Shallam was scrapped for a reason, the event is just an excuse", but I generally like exciting factors in an event and this one seems to have met its end.

    Could have at least broken down Hashan a bit Sartan. We do exist you know!
