A war cry went out to all of Sosaria tonight for brave people to defend the southern lands from the ravagings of a Ratman General named Lorgash. Sosarians came from all directions to the Skara Brae Community Center at 10 PM ET on April 18, 2006. By just after 10:30, Lorgash was dead and the 50+ people stood atop his smoldering corpse. Lorgash appeared to be guarding a book in the dungeon. The book was by Nystul called "Studies: The Shattering". The text of this book is contained later in this article. The General was holed up in a dungeon near the Savage (Lizardman) Fort, just north of Jhelom on the mainland. A hut contained a secret rug allowing people to enter the first level of the two-level dungeon. This first level was filled with ratman archers and mages. It was a guantlet to pass through to reach the second level. A brave soul named "Minister" ventured into the dungeon early to safely set up a place to open gates to the Skara Brae Community Center.
By 9 PM ET, an hour before the assembly, several groups descended into the heart of the dungeon to test the general's strength and abilities. These pre-deployment maneuvers were essential in gaining good information about the general's weaknesses. At 10 PM ET, the main Sosarian force entered the moongate bypassing the gauntlet and directly entering the general's command post on the second level. For thirty minutes, the general summoned ratman archer reinforcements as some Sosarians started to fall. Mages healed the injured and set up recovery points to save the dead. Gates continued to the Community Center as more Sosarian forces arrived. Attacks continued from all angles and directions. Melee was most dangerous, but even the archers and tamers were not spared against the wrath of the general and his soldiers.
Flashes of lightning lit up the dungeon walls as the general continued to command "Attack, Crush, Smash! Onward to Battle! Stomp them to dust! Britain is ours! Victory for Despise! Bring me back their heads!" Obviously this is one of the remaining generals from the Battle of Britain a year ago. How many still lurk in hidden dungeons and crevices, we do not know. Finally, with much resilience and team work, the Sosarian forces brought the general down. The remaining ratman enemies were quickly dispatched without the command of their general. The text of the book that Lorgash was guarding is as follows (thanks Ereptor for the text):
Many Sosarians returned to the Skara Brae Community Center to join in song and tale. The tales continued on into the night, some getting more grandiose as the ale flowed and the people's wounds healed.
Congratulations once more Chesapeake Sosaria! Victory is ours! |
