Things come to an end.

Apollyon:



'Do you even know about personal privacy?' Thunders the titan as he tosses the infernus off himself.



Then he picks up his sword and with an electrifying thrust he slays the demon.



Swordsmen advance to crossbowmen, cannontroll fails his free counter.



2 crossbowskellies die.



Knights try to kill the highjacker orks, but their looted armor save them.



'Fabio! Seize control over the artefact! I shall make your way clear.'



He drinks his maniac eggnog, and plunges into the demonblood, which rapidly starts to eat him away; it behaves like acid.

'What are you doing Apollyon? This is madness!'
'Madness? No. It's a necessary sacrifice.'



'Here! All my power and might, smite the unholy in my sight!'



Due to the demonblood and eggnog power boost, Apollyon bursts out massive amounts of holy light...



Destroying EVERY undead unit on the field (yeah even the glommox, I just forgot to hack it apart).

Keldoclock: ELIMINATED
Silent-sigfig: ELIMINATED



However this feat takes his toll on the hero, and Apollyon perishes ; _ ;

Warboss:



Ork riders break free and even though I considered Beaky's corpse as heavy terrain and halved the movement, one of them can sprint far enough to...



SEIZE THE ARTEFACT!



The warboss bellows a warcry: 'ALL RIGHT BOYZ, LET'S GIT OUTTA HERE!'



This feat succeeds as every ork on the field moves to him, no matter the distance (although I rolled 1d6 damage for those who were too far as physical extortion, which resulted in the death of a bannerboy, and a lot of horse-deaths. Animal abuse is fun!), then they scram.

ORK VICTORY!

Epilogue:



'Sir Fabio, what shall we do?'

'Nothing! Too much precious life was wasted already! We'll retreat and strike later. After all, these are only filthy orks.'

'And what about the corpse of sir Apollyon?'

'He's contaminated, and it's far too risky to escort him... that winged horror might chose him as a vessel to reborn! We'll leave him behind, but never forget his memory.'



The Imperial forces under the wise leadership of Fabio, leave.



Handicapped cannontroll decides to follow the other orks. 'Wait for me!'

Meanwhile, at the Fortress of Evil:



*door knocking*
'Enter, Fink and Ghoul, I hope you bring good news-'
*SLAM*



'W-warhead?'
'No, the MFS himself! I've returned from my vacation, Deadlock. Time to settle some unfinished business.'



'So you made your way back from the Abyss. Not that it matters, I'll send you back in a minute.'



'We'll see about that.'
*swords clash*



*crash*



'Well, you might be stronger, but you will surely succumb to my khaos magik!'
'I've learned a couple of new tricks, immortal. You're not the only will-user now.

*zaps and energy bolts clash with eachother*

*sudden sound of glass breaking*



'My... MY STAFF! How is this possible?'
'Oh I'm sorry, have mine instead!'



the staff cuts in half and disarms Deadlock. Literally; his hands are chopped off.



'Well now, you should really pull yourself together Deadlock. After all, you're the efficient leader not I.'
'Your sarcasm doesn't affect me, Warhead. You may have destroyed this vessel I call body, but it'll be a matter of time for me to rebuild myself!'



'But what's the body without the soul, Deadlock? Quite a lucky coincidence that I obtained your soulblade. If I rend your immortal spirit and lock it inside it, you can have a legion of bodies, can't you?'
'My removal wouldn't change anything. My superiors already got my report, and soon they'll come...'



'LET THEM COME! LET ALL OF THEM COME! They'll all be crushed under my feet.'
Eerie shrieks fill the throne room as Deadlock's soul is culled from his broken body.



'I bit to the left you doofus! Oh hi Deadlock, we have quite bad ne... hey, you're not Deadlock!'

'Correct, Ghoul. I have to thank you for coming. I wouldn't have to hunt you down.'

several cuts later...



'Well-well... time to start everything from the beginning. Just like when I got freed.'

So that was Power of Destruction, hope you enjoyed it. Also, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in any of my battles this year, it was a blast!

The Coming Storm will continue in 2011!

Ork victory!
And yeah, epilogue rocks!

Alas, i knew it was risky to touch that demon blood but the pool was too tempting not to jump into it. At least it killed all the undead as intended. For Fabio's failure to retrieve the artifact however...

It was a lot of fun to play in this battle. I learned quite a bit. Mainly, bricklink some cavallry! And give mounted knights not only lances but also big swords.
Also, well played everyone, especially Silverdream who cooperated nicely.

I won! Good thing my Orkboyz took that armour though since without it they'd have been screwed. Silly horses though... dying after only running half the field... Oh yes and thanks Apollyon, getting rid of the Undead really helped me there...
Oh, and the new Warhead looks awesome.

Seizing the horses and armor was cunning indeed. I was annoyed that the knights were not able to cut down these orks but at least they were locked in combat for a long time. But that last move of yours... it surprised me and i had no idea how to counter it.

Indeed rolls were daft for them; but I'm actually okay with it, it's an acceptable inconvenience against other advantages (devastating charge attack, fastest, toughest non-individual units stat wise).

Final Kill Chart:

Apollyon - thirthy fuckin' seven (!)

RIP Appolyon, who cares about the artefact, the Empire stands supreme on the field of battle!

On a sad note, we're stuck with Fabio yet again; I'll have to solve that later.

Btw, shouldn't putting on the armour have taken the ork's action?

Nope, according to the rulebook picking up stuff (picking it up on themselves in this case : P) is a free action.

I thought I read putting on armour took an action... But oh well the Orcs have gone through enough shit already. First fight they got Beaky and the Shaman back and BAM, Victory! (even though neither survived). The new warboss was cool too - Kensai never really convinced me. It'll be interesting to see what happens next... I'm also pleased I killed (yeah yeah) Deadlock indirectly.

Just as planned, huh?

I'd have preferred to kill him myself and give him a taste of his own medicine (ie using him to fuel a machine) but Warhead's new body will do just fine.

A little extra, I felt this would be necessary for the plot, and see what's going on with the orks:

Ork camp, Warboss tent:


'Just as marvelous as I read about it... truly fascinating.'


'Now I think the time has come...'


'... to throw away this wretched disguise...'


'... and make my grand return...'


'... the Power of the Majistik shall be mine.'

(:protip: if you're unfamiliar about who is this guy, check clash for teh monolith )

I've read it before and am still not sure who he is, but I'm sure as hell going to kill him.

Those new helmets are great.

Indeed, this has been a great story. I love all the background stuff and foreshadowing and excellent drama.

Just a small point. Warhead seems to be under the impression Deadlock still possesses his soul, this is an interesting assumtion that will no doubt come back to bite him. Probably when Khaos comes looking for the damn thing.

Yeah, like what kind of soul powered hell machine could your lot come up with? Fabio's Hellish Hairdryer, oooo, scarey!.. Wait, actually that would be a fate worse than death!

...and lastly to the players of the Undead: Ghoul and Fink. You two couldn't co-ordinate a pair of fuckin' socks! You let the damn Orks win, and they never win! Even the Imperials got away with most of their men.

Will Apollyon ever return? Ok, so his sacrifice sort of made it easier for the Orks to escape Scot Free with the device so it was kind of a fail BUT he did kill a shedload of Undead, that's got to account for something with the powers that be.

I do believe that my Warboss is the Shamon from clash for teh monolith,

there he is (on top of Beaky) same staff, new helmet and new shield.
