(Continuous) Siege on A1 - Extremely difficult!

[A1 Otto7]

Damn,man i lost to a..cookie?!!
I got positive chills on both start and end of Atom's story. Then the cookie part..
But for God that was so freaking funny that i laughed my ass out there, so even i cannot blaim Atom for making that joke up!!

Ps: shall i help before the next and last chapter of Cwhitt's great adventure with the info that the original mythological Sisyphos was an ancient Hellen great King. The only person that foolled Death himself 3 times and made Ares, Hermes and finally the great Zeus to act so that eventually he would go to the underworld!!! (oh and it would only be fit that a Hellen king got revenge for the fall of the Spartan Guardian!)

[Cwhittastic]

That story was awesome!!! the cookie part was hilarious!!

I'm sure the story of my siege coming to an end will be just as epic haha

Hi Preybird,

when can you play? I'm usually available 6-19 GMT +0 on weekends and 15-19 on weekdays.

If that doesn't suit you, I'll try to be more flexible.

@Finneri I've PM'ed my availability to you.

Thanks for the well wishes guys!

TJ Cwhittastic (Lance) 0 - 2 A1 sisyphos (MS)

Human stealth master vs shadow stealth master! But Sisyphos won the battle of stealth bec of Plasma Behemoth and to a certain extent Shadowfont. With no access to DD, Lance only have Assassination to deal with stealth.

Cwhittastic Siege on A1 - Final part

Cwhittastic and his team stepped into the inner bailey of A1 castle. They were impressed by the sheer size of it all. Rumour has it that all the A1 and Acolytes gathered in this Inner Regiment Courtyard, to be trained. It's usually quite a sight, but tonight the Inner Regiment Courtyard is empty.

Cwhittastic and Lance made their way gingerly across the Inner Regiment Courtyard, searching for the entrance to the Keep. Gwen had been ordered to act as the rear guard and standby at the draw bridge.

Cwhittastic scanned the Courtyard for the fifth time to make sure it is empty. Except for their own flickering shadows, there were nothing. But Cwhittastic can't help feeling a constant chill down his spine, as if he was quietly observed by someone.

"...By the time you see him, it's too late..."

Cwhittastic swung his head to see a shadowy figure behind him. No, not shadowy, but more like a trickle of silhouette. Light seems to part around him, and you can't perceive him at all.

In that split second, Cwhittastic knew who the person is.

The number 1 assassin king with 364 kills to his belt this summer. The man with no footstep, no scent, no shadow, no fixed avatar, no fixed signature, no fear...

The man with no qualities. A1 Sisyphos.

Two bright sparkly beams on Cwhittastic right snapped him back into attention. Lance was being attacked by two fiery Plasma Behemoth. In their centre stood the smirking Moonstalker.

Lance could not bring up his Spelleater Bands in time and were struck by the two beams in the head and the chest. His soldiers tried to form a protective circle around Lance, but the two Plasma Behemoth ignored them completely and carried on their strikes against Lance.

Lance fumbled for his Spelleater Bands and finally managed to defend himself against the sparkly beams. Moonstalker raised his right hand to stop the Plasma Behemoths, and with his left took a purple chalice to his lips. He drank heavily from the chalice, licked this lips, and disappeared from plain sight.

Everything was silent. No one could see Moonstalker, but they knew he was lurking. Somewhere. They looked left, right, behind, everywhere.

A claw knocked away Lance's Spelleater Bands. Waves of sparkly beams knocked Lance into the air, and he landed with a thud.

Cwhittastic rushed towards his fallen lieutenant. He checked the pulse; Lance is still alive, but barely. Cwhittastic ordered a retreat for his other soldiers and they rushed towards the draw bridge, which Gwen was guarding.

Moonstalker and his Plasma Behemoths stood impassively in front of Cwhittastic and Lance.

"Let the soldiers escape. We only need the commanders alive to elicit information of their headquarters.", commanded Sisyphos in his wispy voice.

The Plasma Behemoths stepped forward to apprehend Cwhittastic and unconscious Lance. Cwhittastic stiffen, ready for the worse.

A piercing screech filled the air. The Plasma Behemoth looked up to see A Soaring Falcon. The falcon swooped down and grabbed Cwhittastic and Lance with its claws, and climbed rapidly. The Plasma Behemoths raised their hands to blast the falcon, but two rapid fire arrows struck their wrists, and they misfired their shots. Now certain of his liege escape, and the safety of the retreating soldiers, Gwen stealthily made her escape into the forest.

P.s. thanks guys for the compliments! As you can see, I not very good in the descriptive terms, but I hope that its sufficient to plant the images into your mind (which Danae has said in his original post). I also tried to capture the defining moments in the game and put it in the story. Lastly I try to make it light hearted, with tons of references to the real world characters or events (sparkly beams, anyone?). Hope you all catch the references, heh

Damn, Sisyphos sounds scary as in that description. I got the feeling he was hiding behind me when I read that haha.

[Atomzed]

It was tough to think of a nice avatar for 'A1 man without qualities'. Since I can't think of something as epic as a king, I decided to work on the 'without' part.

Hope he don't kill me

[iClipse]

Nice read Atomzed!

[Palestitch]

Barca down

[ahmet476]

[Preybird]
