Guild and destroy thier tower in Tranos
"A wrong will be righted!"
Hail Warriors! <salute>
On Monday, Jan 6th, a great event will occur. This is a guild battle... one which will right a wrong done with sneakiness and cowardice. Egos will be burst which have long needed it.
Support your guild! Make what arrangements are necessary to be there. When the night is through, it will go down in history. Where will you say you were?
The event will occur at 3 am EST in the morning. Thats midnight for PST, and 8 am for those across the great pond from us. It is an event spanning great distances and so the time was a bit of a logistical mess.
Be there. Be where the action is.
Be a part of the history of the Guild.. and the Lands.

"...a scout's orders..."
::Hanson sits, relaxing on a mound of dirt just outside Goldcroft's southern gate. He grips his hammer tightly as he glances over his blood covered armour. He raises his head to see many men adorned in the same fashion as himself, and a grin appears on his face...::
::He mutters a few words and then calls for a scout, and then begins to collect his thoughts on the days events...
::The scribe arrives, but does not wish to interupt his concentration..::
"Today's battle was well fought indeed. Who would have known that men and women of all creed, race, and guild could stand together in battle. Takara obviously was as surprised as I am now. ::Hanson says with a half smile::
It does me good to see this come to an end. I now have my old hunting grounds to enjoy at my leisure, and I'm sure Tol_kajjir will be happy to hear the threat towards Tranos is vanquished..... Ahh, and lest we forget Chay... she now has no threat of the Und interferring with her shipments and trades.
::Anxiously, the scout speaks up...::
"You sent for me?"
"Ah, yes, I have a message for you to deliver to our guild."
"Shall this be another private message to Tol_?"
"Hmmm..... Nay, ye may post this for all to see. Tol_ and I can speak in private should he wish to ask anything in secret."
::The scout nods with a smile, and takes the parchment. He snaps to a salute and is sent on his way...::
::Hanson gathers himself, and stands to his feet. He walks towards the coastline, as he enjoys the sunset in a rather secluded spot...
"Now... this other matter to attend to. It would seem preparations are already in motion, I shall hasten my journey to the guild, for the time is drawing near... ::He cocks a pressing grin..:: The Warrior's shall prove their might once more.....HUR!"

<a young guard salutes nervously and hands Kazak a scrap of parchment>
<taking the note Kazak reads it slowly (he reads everything slowly)>
Ah! Good news indeed! Hanson and his troops are available again just in time, yes indeed this is good news.
<as he leaves he feeds the note to Wuffles his behemoth>

"Zir's Justice!"
<The doors to Kazak's workshop burst open to reveal an extremely weary Ogre, blackened from his labours at the forge, his calloused hands raw and bloody from the long hours spent working with some of the toughest materials to be found in Terris>
At last! Warriors behold! Zir's justice is ready for battle!
<He steps back from the doors and through the smoke you begin to see a huge cylindrical shape emerge... you can see that it is 20 feet long and made from four carved, Ironwood trunks bound together with iron bands. There are handles along each side and the length of it has been treated to make it flame-proof. Runes are carved along it's length, glowing with a dark light, you guess they must be providing magical protection to the whole. But at the end... oh my.. across the head of this amazing construction sits a massive sculpture of Zir's face! Recognizable from his many statues across the lands it is sculpted with enormous skill from pure Black Mithril, the hardest metal which can be forged by mortals.>
Impressive ain't it?
<Kazak gives a cheesy grin>
I can't wait ta see it put to it's purpose!
<you watch as Kazak's workcrew begin hauling the enormous object up to the roof of the guild where it stands on end in the sunlight and smoke, casting a dark, chilling shadow south across the nearby buildings of Tranos>
Not long now,not long at all, hur, hur, hur...
GLORY TO THE WARRIORS!
BEWARE THE JUSTICE OF ZIR!

Chay wanders around Zir's Justice and grins. Excellent workmanship as she knew it would be. The carving is so lifelike she can almost sense the heat from the Great Warlord's helm and see the flash of fire in His eyes.
Looking out across Tranos she reviews for the millionth time the plans for tonight, going over them in her mind step by step. Yes.. they were good plans. Success would be theirs.
Leaving the guild roof, she wanders to Nirimloth Forest to oversee the final preparations there. Hmm.. a couple casualties, but they were easily replaced. She didn't like spending the extra gold, but it will all be worthwhile. Nodding to the guards stationed in the forest now, she inspects the proceedings.
"It all looks good. No more...disruptions?" she asks the guard.
"No General Chay. It's been quiet but we have doubled the guard by Kazak's command and nothing will stop tonight's fun." he grins eagerly.
"Good. Well done, Warrior."
Have 2 guards remain here tonight. When their works is done they will be sent back through and they are to be taken back to Stormgard and left with Kragon. Is that understood?"
"Yes General."
She nods, knowing it will be so. Kazak has a good group thats for certain. A good leader attracts good men.. and women.
She leaves the area and heads to Stormgard to get alittle rest before the battle.

RETRIBUTION!
Kazak <60> Shouts <An eerie, low pitched horn blows from the roof of the warrior's guild summoning them to muster>
The surface of Sun Lake is broken as a slight disturbance startles the nearby wildlife
The body of a dead dwarf is seen bobbing in the small pool of water left in the lake.
A LARGE force of warriors gather on Warriors Way
Many warriors are seen on the roof of the Warrior Guild throwing lines over the new tower to the south.
A small group stomps through Nirimloth forest and disappears into a previously hidden hole in the ground.
With cries from Kazak guiding their actions, the tower starts to teeter over.
Kazak <60> Shouts PULL! PULL!!!
Kazak <60> Shouts First team more! Second line more slack!!
With a mighty CRASH the tower falls onto a waiting timber frame
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <growls> PULL!!!
Kazak <60> Shouts <cheers>
Kazak <60> Shouts Harness the behemoths!
A horn blares from Nirmloth as a signal to Kazak.
With roars, mighty behemoths are harnessed to the frame work, and tow it to the south rampart
Kazak <60> Shouts <berates the behemoth drivers for more speed>
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <growls> Tighten that rope!

The ground below Nirimloth begins to vibrate from below... as if the ground itself were joining in
Kazak <60> Shouts HEAVE LADS!
Kazak <60> Shouts NEARLY THERE!! A FEW MORE TURNS!!
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <grabs the lead behemoth's rope and drags it along
The mighty cranks are turned on the frame, it is a gigantic ballista!
Liynk <108> Shouts They were bred for working!
The ballista is now armed, and an eerie silence drifts over Tranos...
Kazak <60> Shouts <walks up to the enormous, curling, dragon horn on the roof of his guild>
Bubbles begin to erupt in the sluggish mess that is all that remains of Sun Lake
Kazak <60> Shouts Here goes nothing then.. <takes a deep breath>
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <grins evilly, his eyes bleeding as the rage takes over once more>
Kazak <60> Shouts <puts his lips to the horn.. and blows>
The warrior's horn bellows from the rooftops!
Kazak <60> Shouts LOOSE!!!
You shout '::An answering blare from another horn in Nirimloth Forest answers Kazaks::'
Kazak <60> Shouts <fires the ballista>
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <releases the explosive volley from his Catapault, a savage grin on his face>
The enormous bolt flies south towards the Knights stronghold in Tranos
Kazak <60> Shouts CHARGE!!!!!
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <growls> Death to all!!!
It strikes the gates ripping them nearly asunder,the sculpted head of Zir at it's tip tears through the flimsy gate
Stil's explosive charge rocks the walls of their citadel
Kazak <60> Shouts YES! Zir's justice! is knocking at their door!
The ground shakes beneath Tranos' east side as the first volley hits the tower
A force of warriors grab the battering ram and charge the gates
Kazak <60> Shouts <orders the warriors to batter the gates out of their way>
A warrior races to the other side of Sun Lake and casting off a pile of brush, and breaking the dam is revealed
Hanson <145> Shouts Push Harder Men!!
A force of warriors charge the gates again!
Kazak <60> Shouts Aye AGAIN!!
Kazak <60> Shouts This insult shall be purged!
With a screeching roar, the gates topple from their hinges!
Kazak <60> Shouts NOW! IN! Destroy their defenders!
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <growls> Death to all!
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <growls> Their insult shall nae go unpunished...
The waters rush back into the lake and floods into the wide tunnel that leads under the tower itself
Hanson <145> Shouts <runs to the outside wall and places a Huge Barrel alongside it>
Kazak <60> Shouts HOLD THE GATE CLEAR MEN!!
The warriors charge in throught the open gateways, battering guards aside
Hanson and Liynk place large barrels at supporting pillars and walls
A violent shaking and suddenly the grounds within the tower open up as Dwarven Slaves from Stormgard breakthrough!
Hanson <145> Shouts <charges in whilst slaying with well orchestrated combinations of arrows and swings of his hammer>
Renowned Stil <119> Shouts <growls in rage as his Blade cleaves all in his path>
Chay and several Warriors push them aside and join in the heat of the battle, slaying all who get in their way
Kazak <60> Shouts CHARGES SET MEN??
Hanson <145> Shouts Blast at Will!
Kazak <60> Shouts LIGHT THE FUSES!!
Kazak <60> Shouts OKay lads, cover the withdrawl!
Outside the upper section of the Knight's guild
This huge citadel belongs to the knights guild. It was built in honor
of the knights patron the Immortal Alvogyl. The shadow of a strange
second tower on the roof of the Warrior's Guild to the north falls
across the crystal walls making causing a chill in the air.
There is a guarded door to the south

There is 1118 gold in the room
Liynk says 'If you don wanna die, i suggest you RUUUUUN'
Hanson puts his Well balanced Flame Bow of Berian in his backpack
Hanson HOLDs a Well balanced Bloody mithril hammer
Valdez slowly fades back into view.
Kazak UNPACKs a Spiked steel hammer
You give a low "Hur hur hur hur hur."
Elrad gives a thoughtful "Hmm..."
Eoden looks down
Shandro looks to Valdez.
The fuses are lit, the countdown begins...
Druid of the Elements Valdez <69> Shouts ::enters the city and attempts to heal what wounded he can::
Shandro approaches Stil.
Stil says 'Go, i'll hold them'
Liynk nods at Stil.
Kazak <60> Shouts CHAY! GET YER MEN OUT OF THERE NOW!!
Shandro says 'Move aside Stil.'
Hanson exclaims 'Warriors, fall back!'
Kazak nods.
Stil asks 'Do you wish death?'
"Aye laddie," utters Liynk.
Stil stares at Shandro.
Hanson prowls to the north, the Saber Tooth looking hungry as it leaves
Liynk storms to the north the Behemoth's swinging tail almost knocking you over!
Shandro asks 'Do you?'
DEATHBRINGER moves to the north
Shandro grips his Sword and Staff.
A horn sounds from below the shaking ground and warriors and slaves emerge from the tunnel into the forest again
Kazak <60> Shouts Nae, lad we withdraw
Shandro says 'You will allow these people to leave the tower Stil.'
You give a low "Hur hur hur hur hur."
Kazak says 'They may leave when we do'
Liynk <108> Shouts Or the explosives
Kazak points north
Stil says 'They can do as they wish, they are dead to me'
Chay says 'The men are out of the tower Kazak. The foundations are about to give way'
Shandro says 'Soon, you will be dead to all.'
The fuses creep inside the barrels...
Eoden moves forward, looking at the bodies on the ground
Eoden lets out a deep sigh.
Eoden says 'Cowards... '
An omnipresent commanding male voice Guild Shouts 'WITHDRAW'
Stil chuckles away.
Valdez attempts to aid a few of the fallen
Stil says 'Any time anywhere'
Kazak says 'WITHDRAW!! '
Shandro says 'You fools...'
Chay kicks a body out of her way with a bloody boot toe and stands with her guild brothers
Kazak storms to the north the Behemoth's swinging tail almost knocking you over!
Shandro asks 'Have you no idea what you have done?'
Druid of the Elements Valdez <69> Shouts this is hopeless
Eoden narrows his eyes at Stil.
With an ear-splitting crash the charges explode, a dust cloud obscures the knights stronghold
Chay says 'Be still Shandro. They built this tower on OUR back door without even asking permission to do so'
Kazak <60> Shouts <CHEERS>
Chay says 'Then they insulted the Blades of Zir with their comment on it'
Shandro asks 'Be still?'
Hanson <145> Shouts So BE it
Shandro says 'Hah. '
Liynk <108> Shouts <cheers>
Chay says 'This tower will fall '
Chay says 'And it will never be rebuilt again'
Shandro says 'We shall see.'
Chay says 'No knight will build in THIS city'
Kazak <60> Shouts <waits for the dust, smoke and screams to clear>
Eoden says 'I think you have just run out of wars to sniff out'
Stil says 'Aye Chay, aye'
Arganon asks 'This is what this is about? squabbling over our tower in Tranos?'
Shandro says 'Your guild, and your temple'
Shandro says 'Are fools.'
Chay says 'Tis no squabble.. tis retribution.'
Stil pats Shandro on his head
Kazak storms in from the north on the back of a Behemoth! Its eyes glaring at you.
Shandro says 'Soon you will see.'
Chay says 'Simple '
Liynk storms in from the north on the back of a Behemoth! Its eyes glaring at you.
Hanson enters from the north, upon the back of a Black Saber Tooth that snarls and hisses
You laugh happily.
Kazak gives a low "Hur hur hur hur hur."
Liynk gives a low "Hur hur hur hur hur."
Chay says 'We will indeed'
Shandro says 'The might of the Valheru.'
Elrad gives a thoughtful "Hmm..."
Kazak splashes in the shallows
Hanson's movements return to normal speed
Kazak <60> Shouts < admires the new watering hole for warriors mounts> HUR!!!
You shout out "Zir! Zir! Zir!"
Hanson <145> Shouts Spartum always wanted a place to bathe regularly
Hanson throws back his head and gives out a mighty "MUHAHAHAHAHA!"
Hanson shouts out "Zir! Zir! Zir!"
Eoden says 'You're right I have seen no might, I've seen senseless carnage'
Shandro spits on the ground, a dab of it hitting Chay's boot.
You shout 'FOR THE GLORY OF ZIR AND THE BLACK DRAGONS'
Kazak shakes his head no.
Shandro says 'That is what I think of your false god.'
Kazak says ' we have righted an opld insult to our guild'
Chay laughs and rubs the spittle on one of the bodies at her feet
Liynk nods at Kazak.
Kazak <60> Shouts TRANOS belongs to the warriors!
A disembodied voice says 'Fools...only much death will come of this infraction'
Chay says 'What ye think has nay EVER mattered to begin with Shandro.. so yer point is moot'
Kazak <60> Shouts The age of Acdum hails a new order, Warriors are the true defenders of Tranos!
Shandro says 'Oh, what I think does matter, poor Warrior.'
The tower begins to shudder as the waters do their job and the foundations give way
You shout 'Next time ye use sneakiness to build in a city nay yer own, Knights.. remember this day'
Shandro says 'Even the barbarians are more civilized than you Warriors.'
Arganon exclaims 'Mindless thugs!'
Kazak grins at Stil.
Chay says 'Oh that cuts us to the quick'
You roll about on the floor laughing!
Liynk is hurt
Liynk laughs happily.
Kazak says 'We never pretended ta be ... 'civilized' boy'
Kazak spits on the floor and rubs it in with his foot
Valdez says ' the deed is done.'
Kazak exclaims ' we are the warlords of Norland!'
Elrad rolls his eyes in disgust.
Kazak gives you a Warrior's Salute!
Liynk says 'Now run along'
Valdez says ' there is no need for futher discussion.'
Eoden moves to the forward of the group, standing before the warriors
Arganon says 'And ye never pretend to be mindless neither'
Stil says 'If you've EVER considered ME civilized you're a bigger fool than I took you for'
You grin at Stil.
Stil gestures towards Hanson
Kazak Guild Shouts: 'Nay'
Hanson says 'Your words mean nothing, should you ever wish to advance them with action, let me know'
Hanson spits on the floor and rubs it in with his foot
Chay leans over and gives an order to one of her Stormgard men to take the slaves back to the fortress
Liynk reaches over to Eoden and wipes a little tear from his face
Liynk says 'Awww '
Eoden blinks.
Kazak says 'The knights do not belong here now Eoden'
Kazak says 'They never did'
Stil says 'And never have'
Kazak says ' this happened because of their own pride'
Kazak says ' and self importance'
Stil says 'And an insult too many'
Kazak exclaims 'Self-labelled 'defenders of Terris' HA!'
Shandro says 'Perhaps it is time, for a hasty retreat, before this here tower collapses'
Kazak spits on the floor and rubs it in with his foot
And with that, Tranos can truly be thought of as under the ample defense of the rejuvenated warriors guild!
