Issue 1: The introduction
I think it is only fitting to introduce main characters of this history first.
The Flame Boys. We are a group of adventurers who venture the realm and
fearlessly kill evil monsters. Oh wait, not only evils, we actually kill goods
and neutral too. But what actually is evil and what good? I think it is bit
unfair, that followers of draen-dalar are called evil and faenor good... Well,
I think I get the main point, but why only by what religion you follow makes
you "evil"? For example, when a templar inquisitor or nun kills a perfectly
nice bloke, who just happens to work in Triad of darkness, how that is good
action? Well, maybe you got the points, if this babbling actually has any
point. But now I got sidetracked from the story. Long points short. We kill
"monsters" to get equipment and riches, so I guess this makes as an evil
regardless of our religions, but in this story we fight even more evil guy, so
I think that makes as good too, right?
We call ourselves the Flame Boys, we are many, but in this story main
characters are:
The front row:
Noche the lizardman monk. Incredible tough monk-templar who has no tolerance
for fools or foolishness on general. A fantastic warrior, offensive and
defensive.
Seabot the valar. Recent rebirth made him much weaker than he used to be, but
still formidable monk, who doesn't necessarily hit that hard, but can defend
well and is an excellent healer
Jakey the barsoomian. Tiger-spider. Hits like whirlwind with his fist and
daggers, but bit fragile for a tank.
The back row:
Colonel the duck. Extremely powerful mage and knows about every monster of
realm.
Autumn Colours the Zombie. A humble follower of tarmalen and druid. This
treehugger is our main healer with great jokes.
And me, The Joker of Skyforge. Bard, Folklorist and Merchant. The provider of
Fantastic jokes and music! (*Imagine amazing guitar rift here*).
Issue 2: The Event.
Wise wizards of Batmud called on an event: Make Laenor Great Again (MALGA). In
the event a wealthy grand demon DonFrunk seized control of continent of
Laenor, while promising to people, that prices will drop, and exp tunes would
be better. But after in power, delivered only death and misery to the land and
prices went up and exp tunes down. It was also almost impossible to travel to
Laenor from other continents. Gaining incredible wealth while controlling the
Laenor. Many brave parties and inviduals already have tried to stop DonFrunk
and his Ice Demons, but all just got their noses hurt. Then we decided, that
it is time for Flame boys to solutions this problem.
It was a winter time in Laenor. Me, Noche, Seabot, Colonel and Autumn were
waiting in bar of the hotel in Skyforge. We were waiting our spy master, the
Jakey, who was suppose to come here tonight from gathering intel about
DonFrunk and his whereabouts. Finally around midnight door opened and Jakey
came in. He was formidable looking invidual while added to his natural four
arms, he had also a glass arm, long tail, horn and two extra arms from his
carapace spider armour, moving faster than lightning he was in one second
after the door opened sitting by our table a beer in his hands.
He said: "Hi guys, this took some time, since those Ice Demons are everywhere
sniffing around, but I should now know where that DonFrunk is located."
"He has built a big fortress he calls Sea of Lakes, that is in southeast coast
of Laenor. The place is heavily defended by Ice demons, but with an element of
surpise I think we have a good odds to take him down."
We packed finished our drinks, packed our stuff to my airship and we drove to
Secladin, planning to continue by foot from there, not to raise alarms of
FonFrunks sentries. After few hours from surrounding forest we saw the
fortress. It was a square shaped complex, that had high surrounding wall to
all four sides. Only exists were one main gate to northwest and one to
fortified port by sea. in the center there was a luxurous looking fortified
mansion.
We waited for a night and then our tiger Jakey went invisibility on to
northeast wall and using his superb dexterity climbed on wall. In wall he took
care of few sentries using some well placed dim maks. Then our backrow
relocated at him and summoned the rest of the frontrow to top of the wall. We
went quickly to one of the towers that were on the corner of the wall. There
was an Ice Demon there, but our tanks quickly turned him to minced meat.
Colonel volunteered to lead the battle and ordered the prots. "I handle AOA's
to front. Autumn: Flex front, Joker: Wares.". Then protted up, we started to
move stairs to down. We hoped, that we haven't yet been noticed by everything
living, while we took doors down. Before entering the yard, Jakey and Colonel
casted invisibility to everyone and we were able to pass the yard and enter
the mansion.
We found the grand demon DonFrunk alone in the large oval shaped office. He
raised his orange face and asked us: "Who are you and what do you want?"
I said: "We are the Flame Boys and we are here to kill you."
The demon didn't looked exactly impressed, but he raised and came our side of
the big table calmly. "I don't think you can. I am the greatest fighter there
has ever been. But I admire your balls. I want you to join my peace army, the
Ice Demons. What do you think? You would only pay me 100 Millions and you are
in."
The poor bastard, I mean the rich bastard didn't notice, that while he was
talking, our stealthy black tiger, Jake has somehow circled backside of him
and took a deadly dim mak hold.
"Ouch!", we heard, but unfortunately it was Jakey, who broke his fingers and
then "SMACK" and "Crash", when huge backfist strike sent our brave barsoomian
to hit the wall and to unconcience.
Next mage staff of Colonel was pointed at the demon and split second after
that demon was hit by some lava, beam of magic, bolt of lightning, acid, ray
of ice and some whirling winds. And after that Noche and Seabot were on him
Noche attacking his martial arts strikes and Seabot with his hammer and
shield.
Especially that prismatic burst seemed to actually hurt the demon and it gave
a split second to our tanks to hit some heavy blows at him. While that Autumn
was able to revive Jakey and heal him back to battle ready. Screaming "Charge"
he attacked demons backside with a power of tornado, wielding pen knives!
I was singing songs that healed our team to support Autumns healing and all
the time Colonel was casting major offensive spells at the demon. All looked
good. I screamed "Die you Demon! The Laenor shall be free again!"
That was a mistake, the bleeding demon seemed have some more power by my taunt
and he said: "Free? Hah! That's Fake News!". He suddenly jumped over his
office desk and shouted some magic words and suddenly a vortex opened over the
room and huge golden coins started to rain from there, like in a worst golden
blizzard of nightmares! It was impossible to continue the fight and spell
casting while bombarded by those gold coins. The Colonel called a retreat, so
we ran away from the Oval Office.
"Shit, that was a nasty special.", said Seabot. We regened, re-protted and
tried again few times, but all the time same happened. DonFrunk summoned the
Gold Blizzard, and we had to withdrawn. He was just too rich to be beaten.
Issue 3: The Lesson.
Well. Let this serve us as a lesson, to not vote for those asshole populists!
So, vote the next time for, well, I don't know who, but not him at least or
his friends!
