In the Heart of the Shadow

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

In the Heart of the Shadow

Fortress of Darkness:

Image

Cedric the Bull: "I've brought the prisoners, Dark Lord."

Dark Lord: "Welcome Sir John and Lillian, I've been expecting you."

Image

Cedric: "Well, I have other business to attend to."

Image

Lillian: "Dark Lord? Who are you?!?"

Image

Dark Lord: "Sir John, you know who I am. Why don't you tell your acquaintance?"

Sir John: 'Sigh'

Image

Sir John: "His name is Draven Malum. He was once an advisor to the Black Monarch, and one of his hobbies happened to be magik."

Image

Sir John: "But over time, he became obsessed with majik, and the study of the dark arts."

Image

Sir John: "Eventually, he was consumed with the desire for power, and started plotting against the Black Monarch. His plans were discovered, and he was banished, never allow to return. Furious, he rose an army of skeletons to take the throne by force. He was thwarted at the Battle of the Twin Peaks, and slunk back into hiding."

Image

Sir John: "Because of Draven, the Black Monarch ordered a ban on majik, and all sorcerers and wizards were forced to either give up their practice or leave the kingdom."

Image

The Dark Lord Malum: "Indeed, that is what happened. But I will not fail a second time."

Image

The Dark Lord Malum: "And you two just so happen to play a roll in my plan."

Lillian: 'gasp'

Image

Sir John: "Lillian!"

Nason's Keep:

Image

White King: "I want you to assemble a small group of men and head north, to the Vikings. They have aided us in times past and we could use their added manpower to destroy this Undead menace. Please negotiate with them and try to procure their allegiance."

Image

Sir Marcus: "It will be done, my King."
Remember, as a wise man once said: "Nihil Est Quod Videtur"

Wow! I get a Battle for Wesnoth vibe from this, for some reason. :)
