Hopklis Nur (Intro and Sign Up)

Post by Semaj Nagirrac » Tue Sep 27, 2011 10:43 am

As promised, I said my next battle would be a forum battle. There will be seven players (one will be hidden for most of the game). No vehicles, because I'm going to school full time, working and also lazy.

Image
The temple of Hopklis Nur, built by the first Avalonian refugees from Cyrmu. Rumor has it that an ancient map that leads back to Cyrmu is inside the temple.

The Warhead sphincter and his army have taken residence in front of the main gate and are fortifying their position.

WARHEAD'S ARMY

Warhead's Army is divided into three groups: Warhead and his hand picked followers, Battle Droids, and a group of Ying Si Ninja.

Warhead's Group

Image

Imbued with the a desire for immortality, these troops may redshirt for Warhead and have a chance of staying alive afterwards.

Image

Movement: 5"
Attack: 1d6 +3

Image

When close enough to a target, the droid may roll to "torture" the enemy unit and force them to change sides. The converted unit will be under the control of the droid army.

Image
Battle Droid

Movement: 5"
Attack: 1d6 +2

AVALONIAN FORCES

Avalonian forces are also divided into three groups.

Image
Imperial Forces of Avalon

Movement: 10"
Attack: None.

May explode causing 2d6 damage withing a 5" radius.

Image
This is a winter battle. Any troop can build a temporary bunker out of snow during their turn (except Battle Droids). Snow will provide an additional +2 to defensive rolls.

Image
The Temple of Hopklis Nur. Warhead's goal is to enter this building. He holds the key, but has found it is not as simple as turning the key and opening the door.

Image
The temple is indestructible. Two keyholes lay at the bottom of the door. The key must be in the correct hole (that's what she said) while the lock is decoded.

Image
The coded lock. The lock can be turned, buttons can be pressed, but it must be done in the correct order. Once the key is in the correct hole and the lock decoded, the gate will open and whoever open's it may enter inside.

Anyone is capable of opening the lock.

SECRET FACTION

PM me for information if you are interested in playing as the Secret Faction.

Ground rules.

All skill roles will be at 3 unless otherwise stated. You may receive additional reinforcements of two units every two rounds unless otherwise stated.

If you have questions or comments, let 'em rip. This is my first forum battle, so I'm sure I've already made a couple mistakes.

The combat sleds can be used by anyone.

I figured Warhead would have priority to play as his sphincter. Brag has priority to play as the Joint Avalonian-Prussian Spec Ops.

This does look interesting, but you may want to have someone move this over to the Forum Battles sub-forum for you. You will get more people who want to play that way. :D

Good Luck with the game.

Avalonians please. This sphincter is a real dick and must be put down for the sake of him making the others look bad.

Well, this looks like a great one. I think I'll stay out of this, though, I've got a bit too much going on. Will be watching avidly, though :D
