    Pre-battle flavour text:

    Your internship with the Inquisition's R&D department is almost at its end, you've spent months engineering a trap that's sure to make Yurik's head spin and all that stands between you and that cushy position as a Junior R&D is a simple test run of your trap.

    It took much convincing, but the Inquisition was willing to lend you an Afflicted Guard they subdued for questioning. As the Inquisitors push the hapless subject into the testing chamber, you put your ears on the door with glee for the sound of flapping wings followed by swinging blades and falling boulders.

    Post-battle flavour text:

    Now you're getting real antsy, it's already been a minute! Suddenly you hear the sound of a window shattering and an increasingly distant cackle. The Inquisitors push you aside as they barge into the room and you suddenly hear the sound of swinging blades and falling boulders followed by silence.

    You have a feeling you can wave that position goodbye. You quickly make away with your meager commission and start applying for another position at another employer.

    Note: No points are awarded for killing enemies.

    Scenario name: Silverwood Camp
    Pre-Battle flavor text: Having received armament from Svitlana, warden of the Silver Forest, your band of three sets out to scout the lands of Lord Makhail and report back. You make camp for your first night on the edge of the silver forest. It's no walled village, but surely the monsters would not dare enter the forest which is home to Svitlana and the origin of their bane, fey steel.
    [​IMG]
    Post-Battle flavor text: It seems the monsters are emboldened by their numbers and are even entering the Silver Forest itself. Is nothing safe from their blight? They must be taken out at their source, Castle Mitternacht. You gather what you can from their remains.

    Title: From Beyond the Grave

    Account: Vlamona

    Before text: You don’t remember why they killed you. You remember almost nothing from when you were alive. You do remember that you want revenge. It feels like your whole being is made from your desire for vengeance. You have twisted the minds of two vampires, made them loyal to you. They will help you get revenge.

    [​IMG]


    After text: Your revenge is complete. Your whole reason for existing is gone and you fade away.

    Title: Culinary Conclusion

    Pre-battle text: Home, sweet home! While you might have lost the finals, you're pretty convinced that a second place is almost as respectable, and your employer should be satisfied with your performance. As you ponder that, while occasionally paying some attention to that cauldron of boiling soup you're supposedly cooking and maybe even having a look at the oven, too, you hear a servant enter the kitchen with a message: Lord Cadford wants you to know that your reward is on the way. Content, you turn back to the cauldron. You don't know what you and your twin brother, the remaining Garcottos, will receive for your spectacular results, but you're sure it's going to rock!

    Post-battle text:
    You can't really wrap your head around what just happened. You try everything you can: putting the pieces into your award-winning soup, roasting them, frying them. But to no avail! The thing just refuses to taste any better, even after you try all combinations of seasonings known to you. This feels like pretty poor form from your employer, especially after all you've done to further his name and fame. You consider packing up and finding an employer who doesn't completely lack taste.

    Before Text:
    You called your three friends to come to your castle and play the latest E and E (Education and Employment) campaign with you. After pretending for over 8 hours to be a middle school American adolescent in the 1980s you've finally reached the last level. As your party try to escape an army of gunmen you take shelter in a nearby middle school. As you close the door behind you, you hear loud singing, wailing really, down the hall. What do you do?
    [​IMG]
    After Text:
    That was no Chorus teacher singing a solo. That was a shade from Mitternacht who'd invaded your otherwise pleasant game. Good thing you'd been doing your exorcise.

    [edit: changed out Orc for a gnome inciter, gunners for blinking wisps, and the xbow archer for a blood priest]

    Before Battle Text: In the cemetery where the 3 Ancient Kings of Cardhuntria are.... a strange magical energy fell in the cemetery, causing the kings and their armies to revive like zombies. The Guards and the Manager of the cemetery were enjoying their lunch quietly, when they began to hear the moans of the zombies, now they have to fight to stop them and prevent them from escaping from the cemetery.

    Map: Royal Graveyard.jpg

    After Battle Text: After a long battle the cemetery guards managed to defeat the horde of zombies. The next day they discovered that the spell had been done by an apprentice magician who could not control the power of the necromancy spell and his energy was sent to the cemetery.

    Account name: Maniafig

    Pre-battle flavour text:

    Word has reached your ears that Aloyzo Industries is planning to hold a contest to determine what new line of Alozyo-approved and monster-maligned items they are going to manufacture.

    As a local regent, you are ever concerned about the reach of your Batford brand, so you have brought your charismatic and tech-savvy sniper as well as your precious pup with you to make a friendly suggestion to Alozyo to theme the contest around none other than yourself and your grand estate.

    You barge into Alozyo Industries expecting nothing but some common Sevants or animated Golems, but are quite distressed to be greeted by an unusual mechanized minion.

    "INTRUDERS DETECTED. ALARM STATUS: ON. TRAP STATUS: ACTIVATED. FIREWALL: ENGAGED. WELCOME TO ALOYZO INDUSTRIES."

    Post-battle flavour text:

    You congratulate Alonzo on hacking you a way through cyberspace and turn off the security system before making your way through the offices unopposed.

    Aloyzo is quite peeved that you completely wrecked his security system, perhaps animated golems weren't such a bad idea after all, but Alonzo's crossbow and Blackfang's snarl quickly convince him to strike a deal: Alonzo shall help improve Aloyzo's cyber defenses and the upcoming Aloyzo's Arsenal contest will be themed around your grand etate!

    You leave Alozyo Industries quite pleased, but not before taking some of your well-deserved royalties for the rights to use your brand.

    Pre-battle flavour text:

    Life has never been easy for Dog Boy and his best friend, Dog Boy. Their only friends in life are their scaredy-cat Psi Cats and they are picked on by everyone in Shieldhaven Prison, got pummeled by adventurers and worst of all they have been imprisoned by the Troll Kings to be used in their sacrificial ritual!

    Just as all hope seems lost, the Dog Boys are met with curious mewling from the loose cell grates. The psychic powers of the Dog Boys' precious Psi Cats allow them to establish a psychic link together and they share that the Troll Kings have almost finished their ritual and are about to be imbued with great power.

    As the Orcish guards come to take the Dogs Boys away for their sacrifice, the Dog Boys make an impassioned speech in unison and the cats nod along. It's time to show these hoodlums the power of friendship and strength in numbers!

    Post-battle flavour text:

    The Dog Boys and their Psi Cats cheer with newfound confidence as they undo the ritual and collect the Troll Kings' valuables. If even these Troll Kings cannot stand up to their combined power, then who can?

    The Dog Boys resolve to change their names to Cat Boy and to amass an army of Psi Cats. Together they shall usher Cardhuntria into a bright new age of friendship and purrs!

    That sneaky Lord Stafford and his scary dog Scar are stealing Master's gold! The servants must be in on it too - they've locked you and your brother in your rooms and made it impossible to get out without breaking Master's special vases. Maybe if the two of you work together, you can find a way to get past the ropes they put up and stop the thieves.

    It's been a while since you've been in your secret tunnel though, not since Master taught you to stop digging. It's probably fine.

    Master gave you treats for your help! Today was a good day.

    You open your eyes and look around your bedroom. Everything seems to be in place, but you feel something is off, something is not quite right... and what is that smell?

    You call out to your faithful companion: "Blackfang! Here boy!" but there's no response. Instead you hear... purring?

    And then you wake up and find that the Nightmare Fairy left some cheap trinkets under your pillow.

    You make a note to avoid banana-n-bacon pudding before bedtime.

    Pre-battle flavour text:

    It has been a perilous quest, but your hunt for the Mirror of Death is near its end. You have determined it is held in the depths of Cardhuntria's most well-guarded museum. Infiltrating the building and taking it for yourself should be a trifle matter for a royal Creature as the Night such as yourself.

    Alas, you underestimated their defenses. As soon as you enter the museum an arcane Scrying Eye spots you and puts you in an impenetrable Celestial Stasis. You're trapped and there's nothing you can do! Unless... Yes, the exhibits and the Scrying Eye will make for fine minions, they can deal with the guards so you can undo the Celestial Stasis.

    Post-battle flavour text:

    You undo the Celestial Stasis and quickly suck the fresh corpses dry. Orc blood has always had a peculiar aftertaste, you're not sure if it's truffles or mud and aren't too keen to find out. Now that they have been dealt with, surely nothing stands between you and the Mirror of Death...

    Pre-battle flavour text:


    Finally, the gold-framed Mirror of Death stands before you. But as you inspect the blighted thing, you don't show up in its reflection. Typical, really.

    As you ponder how to make it work, you notice there's only one throne in the room but two in the reflection. As you sit down on the throne, portals suddenly appear in the room and you are met with the reflections of two familiar figures who seem eager to lunge at you.

    "If you are truly worthy of bringing the Blight to Cardhuntria, then prove your capability to command the Creatures of the Night!"

    Post-battle flavour text:

    With both Yurik and Makhail's reflections destroyed, the mirror shatters! You quickly raise your cloak to defend from the flying shards, and when the sounds of shattering glass go silent you realize Yurik and Makhail stand before you in person, freed from their imprisonment.

    "Give us the word, my dear Countess, and together we shall dance in a night everlasting!"

    Ah Yurik, ever the romantic.

    Pre-Battle:
    Aloyzo is celebrating the second anniversary of opening his Artifactsy store by inviting his favorite monsters to a party. But when they arrive, the host is nowhere to be found.

    Oh well, at least there's enough cake for everyone... and the one on the left looks like it might be chocolate!

    (Note: Enemies are in groups of two but only can spawn one each. I wasn't able to beat the map when the cakes could attack multiple times.)

    Post-Battle:
    That was a bit more messy (and violent) then expected. But delicious.

    Title: Legend of the Invincible Monkeys
    Monkeys.jpg
    Account: descept
    Text: Once upon a time the Great Ancient Troll King and the Most Glorious Skeleton Ruler Twins had a very practical matter to decide: which kind of immortality is the most awesome - the one struggling against death or the one merging with it. After some vain bruising they considered that their minions should not see any discord amongst the rulers, lest the minions disobey the even more ancient Alliance of the Nether Nations against Annoying Heroes, destroy each other, and the nasty lightlings come and take all the treasures. So, the most ancient rulers were thinking for two days, and finally decided to make the nature herself select the strongest: when they go to the crystal-clear Monkey Pond in the very heart of the eldest forest and wash themselves in it, everybody would see whether its water becomes black as the death or green as the slime. However, they forgot to ask permission from the monkeys.

    That battle was later called The Great Defense of the Monkey Kings. The poets (though we know that they most often mix their fancies with the facts) tell of many its influences upon the later history of Cardhuntria. To name a few. The Alliance of the Nether Nations against Annoying Heroes was renamed as the Alliance of the Nether Nations against Annoying Heroes and Stealing Monkeys. War Monkey martial style evolved with maxims: "be soft as jelly and hard as bone" and "learn your enemies' defenses, use your enemies' weapons". They also say that the Flying Monkeys took those maxims too literally. And, even more unrealistic story sung by the bards, is that the nameless founder of the Crossbowmen of the Border, in his youth being a ranger, was very lucky to see the monkey monks training and learned some few tricks. Whether that be truth or not, is for you to consider.

    Title: A Minor Disagreement

    Creator:
    lambnbacon2

    Pre-battle Text:
    Whorl said magic was better. Riptide disagreed. Riptide said magic was better. Whorl disagreed. Being the friendly anthropomorphised floating weapons that they are, they decided to settle this minor disagreement in the quickest and most effective way of finding out, an all out duel to the death. (Bring along your friends!)
    [​IMG]

    Post-battle text: It is now obvious which is truly better. No flimsy magic can compare to what you can do with your own two hands. That is, if Riptide had hands. On a side note, it would take months, no, years, for the gore to wash off from Riptide's blade, so that was a small victory on Whorl's part.

    The main idea of the battle is that it is relatively simple with only three characters to control, but positioning and coordination are necessary to bait out Whorl and the Mind Flensers. The Arcane Imps can be surprisingly irritating at times, but the fight is a matter of who can take out the other team's high priority targets more quickly.
