Another update to Thormun's Journal?

[Retlaw]

Ok, I looked, but the last post I saw about updates was the entry with the knights, so me if this has been on here already:

CHAPTER 3: Travels and Travails
Journal Entry #25


From the pen of Sgt. Drake Alexander:
We have traveled by the light of the moon along a dangerously narrow mountain path. A select few are with me, some of the my best warriors. The sun breaks over the horizon, and with it comes a new day, a day that won’t soon be forgotten.

While still climbing through the last stretch of this winding pass, I can hear the clatter of battle rise from the valley below. It is our troops assaulting Utgar’s camp. Their attack is only a ploy. The plan is beginning to unfold. The attacking force, led by Thorgrim and Finn – the Viking brothers – catches the enemy off guard, and then, just as Utgar’s army musters their forces, the Viking brothers turn and retreat. The Utgarians take the bait: Their forces charge after the retreating soldiers, thinking the attack was some desperate and ill-conceived attempt at victory. Utgar’s army believes that today is the day they will triumph over Jandar’s dwindling forces. They could not be more wrong.

When the retreating troops reach the foot of Stechavan, they turn and charge back upon their enemy, an enemy that outnumbers them more than twenty to one. I can picture it now: The rows of Grut Archers howling in laughter as they let loose their arrows at the command of pacing Swog Riders, the great troll stampeding forward, his oversized sword swinging back and forth in deadly strokes, the grin worn by the Minions of Utgar as they lick at their teeth in anticipation of the coming slaughter. But the slaughter will be their own. From over Stechavan’s hilltop flies a sole kyrie warrior. She lifts a spear above her head, and with a mighty battle cry thrusts it to the ground. There, at the point of the spear’s strike, a towering giant appears, charging with sword in hand. A dozen more kyrie fly over the hilltop, then two dozen, then four. This gives pause to Utgar’s forces for only a moment, and then – laughter.

"Pathetic! Not nearly enough to matter!"

They speak too soon, for in the very next moment over the hilltop and among their ranks ride the Templar Calvary, and just as quickly, the swarming forces of Ullar’s viper army join the fray. Utgar’s army falls to chaos and is swept away by the frenzy of vipers and charging knights. Victory belongs to us! But not without its costs…

Rumors have been stirring that Utgar himself has come, in his arrogance, to be here when his forces break through into Nastralund. Now is my opportunity, this is our chance to take that tyrant down! And so, under the cover of night and during the long battles of this day, I’ve led my small band of soldiers through the hidden mountain pass. Our purpose is to enter Utgar’s camp while his soldiers are out at war, fight our way through his personal guard, and destroy Utgar himself.

I scan the western perimeter of Utgar’s camp with the aid of my binoculars. Two of Utgar’s Minions stand guard. With a movement of my hand, I signal the pair of Omnicron Snipers who traveled with us. The soulborgs move in unison and fire on each of the minions with a deadly precision. We stream into the camp in pairs, splitting off among the black tents in search of the evil Valkyrie general. Paired with me is Shotgun Sullivan, and I’m glad for it; we’ve become quick friends since meeting here in Valhalla, and I trust the man with my life.

Shotgun makes a low whistle to get my attention. "We’ve got trouble," he whispers, nodding up ahead. From around a tent stalk three ravenous wolves sniffing the air. These are not the werewolf-looking types we’ve encountered before; these ones crawl on all fours. Looking up, the wolves spot us, their eyes lighting up in anticipation of their newly discovered meal. Snarled lips twist up, bearing sharp teeth. The wolves spring at us. Sullivan reacts quickly, peppering them with shotgun spray. Two of them drop; the third releases a warning howl cut short by my sword. It's too late— the camp is astir, our cover is blown.

Edit to add:
Here is the drawing of the new puppies - drawing doesn't look like the robo-dawgs (besides, one shotgun blast woudn't stop 2 deathstalkers), so more hounddawgs coming for Utgar?

Now the story is picking up!

[yagyuninja]

Cool!

[NecroBlade]

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

[Uprising]

Cool story. Makes me wanna use the Jotun-Saylind combo. I hope them trying to assassinate Utgar wasn't a premonition for the end of Scape. It's just starting to get really good.

[NecroBlade]

I'm pretty sure he'll get away to fight another day. No sense in killing the game off now.

Hmmm.... anyone think this might mean that one of the next big packs/flagbearer type waves are going to be the Valkyrie generals.


As for the story, I think Utgar is almost certainly going to get away, then summon a million more guys and retaliate.

No, I'm telling you guys. They are gonna kill off Utgar and introduce Baby Utgar. Utgar's infant love child with Runa.

[IAmBatman]

But then, as he grows, we'll quickly learn that he's not baby Utgar himself, but a clone of Utgar with the original Utgar's brain inside!!! He's younger, he's faster, and he's just as evil as ever!

Taelord is 180 points because he's going to replace Utgar.
