8th Cycle: Mas: Orders and Reports

[Q-wert]

This board is for post of messages and orders during the nights of blood of the eight cycle after the return of the Old Gods.
Any of such concerning the Realm are to be put here.

Orders
Three eyed creatures, especially walking corpses (which are commonly named Mummies of Madness) are not to be slain at night or any time during the month of the Fallen God, but lured and sealed away. Anyone found breaking this command will be chained to the trees in front of the gates to be eaten by the undead attackers.

In case of emergency a prepared fire is to be lit on top of the palace, such will notify Runewick of the situation and call for help. In case of fire sighted in Runewick any forces that can be spared are to depart there immediately.

Focus of the Defence will be the Gates of the Realm as such shields the settlement of Cadomyr, the Chosen one and the temples of Zhambra and Tanora. The minions of the Fallen God are expected to attack in massive but uncoordinated waves during night-time, targeting gatherings of people. Forces are to gather at the gates to be ready for such attacks when they are not needed elsewhere. Coordinated movements of hostile forces are to reported immediately.

During daytime the holy sites of the Realm are to be patrolled at least once. In case of a site besieged or even occupied by impure creatures a unit is to be dispatched to cleanse any ground holy.

The orders and reports of the last two defences are to be read by any having time to spare. They will find helpful information there.


May the primal strength of the Ushak-Skath be with the defenders of the Realm,

Midnight of the first Night of Blood:

• The House of the Sea Serpent did repell the first wave in Cadomyr and joined the Runewickian counter attack of the Bearers of Fire, closing a dozen of portals. Runewick and Cadomyr are save, no undead remain near the temples, roads or populated areas. Defence of the settlement of Galmair remained a mess up until the moment of this report, their defenders only slowly gaining ground. The Cadomyrian forces are gathering for preparation of the second wave against the Realm.

Evening, first Day of Blood:

• The Galmarian defenders and the House of the Sea Serpent did encounter an undead three eyed dragon on closing portals near the cult of Salavesh. The dragon was slain once by overeager defenders, resulting in two of these creatures now roaming the area. One is to stay clear of these dragons until the end of the nights of blood and naturally the same command as for any three eyed creature do as just as much apply to this new kind of dragon.

Nightfall, third Night of Blood:

• The Cadomyrian defences held with acceptable discipline. Populated areas, roads and temples are secure at the moment of this report.
  The following attacks were repelled:
  
  • -Several waves of portals in between the other attacks, similar to those of the initial attack on all settlements. The last one reported this morning. A hand full were found out in the desert near the razed temple of blood while the majority appeared in relative vicinity of the walls. All are closed now, the undead forces that made it through are no more.
    
    -Three red undead cultists coordinating an attack on the gates, managing to catapult a hand full of attackers behind the battlements of the defence with the help of magic. A swift swipe lead by Countess Annabeth did secure the rear while the remaining defenders held fast and crushed the primary attack.
    
    -An undead king with a small fellowship which rose from the old ruins in the desert and marched against the Cadomyrian walls to claim the throne of the Chosen One. The Templewarriors duel with the dead king was interrupted by undisciplined shots from Jerem Elessar and Floriel. Still, the Third House and the Galmarian visitors did crush the attack in front of the Cadomyrian fortifications.
    
    -A black pillar, later identified as an repurposed magical accumulator, appeared in front of the gates, reanimating already dead attackers. With the help of the Bearers of Fire the pillar was identified, magically disabled and dismantled.
    
    -An undead horde of several hundred animated corpses which did rise and attack near the morning of the first night with a black dragon circling the sky above. The House of the Sea Serpent launched an counterattack, scattering the hostile formation, slaying undead and dragon in a lengthy battle.
    
    -Two dozen of hostile humanoid fire creatures pouring out of the smelters of the Realms smithy, slain by the Templewarrior. The smelters were cooled down aferwards, any remaining creatures dragged out, extinguished and beaten to death.
