Somewhere in the Brikverse, an old, retired dwarvish general and his small crew of miners and salvagers fight for their lives against an overwhelming onslaught of orkish fury, trapped by the attack within a quarry with only one exit.
Hektor: Thurvald! We’re gettin’ butchered like rats in ‘ere! What’s tha status on those reinforcements?!
Dwarf Infantry: No tellin’, radio signal’s weaker than an elvish stout this far underground, so we’re not sure they’re gettin’ any of our transmissions!
Hektor: By tha bloody flame of Aurantiaco, what do you mean we’re not-- Damn it all, give tha fockin’ thing ta me.
Hektor: *Smashes transmitter against a rock repeatedly.* Hello? Dispatch? Come in, this is Foreman Sootbeard with Minin’ Platoon #27 requestin’ IMMEDIATE EVAC, repeat, IMMEDIATE EVAC! We’re under attack by those damnable Blackrock greenskins and their new best fockin’ friends, them crazy fockin’ Brootal urks! They portaled in here and have us trapped within Mineshaft Eolxecz-438! Repeat, requestin’ reinforcements and IMMEDIATE EVAC!
*crackle* *gArBle* *ssskzzzzzkk* *GaRgLe*
Dwarf Infantry: It’s no use ser! We’re too deep to reach tha surface, and whatever warp tech tha greenskins used ta get in ‘ere fried tha underground-ta-surface transmitters! We’re on our own!
Hektor: Damn their eyes! I guess this is it then, we’ll be makin’ our last stand here. Never thought a bloody minin’ job’d be what finally did me in after all these years. Get those boomstick gits up here, we’ll take out as many of those ork bastards as we can from a distance, then blow tha whole shaft ta hell and collapse tha place in on em! If we’re goin down, we’ll take them with us!
Dwarf Infantry: Right away ser-- Wait, what’s that?!
Hektor: Oh damn it all, another portal? More of these focks?! Well come and get some then, ya gristlemunchin’ barfskinned underbite lookin’ headass twats! I’ve got enough fire in me gut ta take ya all on!!
Vindelvuur: Ah, yes, that will not be necessary my friend, I am here to be of assistance to you, not to harm you!
Dwarf Infantry: And just who are ye? Where’d ye come from all of tha sudden?
Vindelvuur: My name is Vasith Vindelvuur of the planet Medivo. I have traveled to Novium to seek out Hektor Sootbeard, former general of the forces of Dag Loduhr?
Hektor: Aye, that’s me, what’dye want?
Vindelvuur: Well first and most pressingly, I am here to rescue you and your team from the sudden predicament this contingent of Brootalz has thrust you into.
Hektor: Right, ya all heard the old man, ain’t gonna look a gift ibex in tha mouth, get movin into tha portal ya ruddy gits!
Dwarf Infantry: Yes ser! Right lads, follow me!
Hektor: So, what’s the catch then, mage? Whether yer from Novium or this “Medivo,” ye magik users always have a second motive for doin’ tha things ya do.
Vindelvuur: You are perceptive, master Sootbeard, I do indeed have ulterior motives, albeit ones that are also within your best interests. You see, I’ve come to speak with you today on behalf of a group known as the Watchtower Alliance…
