Physician & Gildorios, lvl 7 ruin annihilation
Posted: 20 Feb 2013, 22:21
The long quest for the secret ruin
The search
It started with a rumor at the "Red Flag Dragon Bar", after few drinks of Arnest flasks we heard someone talking about a secret place full of monsters guarding a cave of black gem, and when I hear "black gem" my eyes open.
My friend and I went to that guy, named Gilgamash (a bit strange but who am I to judge), and ask him about this place. He said he doesn’t know much but knows of places with monster heroes who we can interrogate and he will show us the way only if we agree to let him join, and of course we did.
Then the journey started, we manage to gather some mercenaries to join our army building it up to enormous force, we traveled through mountains and forests. During our quest we slaughtered many monsters looting their bodies, after few days we faced a camp with a hero, we charged it without mercy, capturing and interrogating the hero to tell us about the secret place, and well we used too much force since he died (we learned to the future).
Days passing, army growing, fighting monsters, interrogating heroes telling us the direction we need to go, they lead us to the cold north, with high moral we hurried sending ours scouts to explore the area, they came back reporting us a cave entrance at a ruin occupied with an army of monsters we never saw before.
Now the time has come, night before the battle my friend and I planning our strategy, their army is no match to ours, we decided to circle them and leave no survivors. The morning has come; our commanders spoke to the fighters:
The speech
"We will fight them in the fields, in the woods, and in the meadows. WE WILL FIGHT THEM WHERE EVER THEY RISE. We will never surrender. We SHALL drive them back to the gates of hell from which they came, because on THIS EARTH the monsters SHALL NOT STAYS RISEN!
Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of elvs comes crashing down, but it is not this day!
This day we fight!!
In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, and it's yours.
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you to stand, Men of Evelyn!!"
The battle
Our army spread around and was ready to battle, we casted few spell to aid our army and then we gave the ward, the massacre has began: we had the element of surprise so first kill was by our archers creating rain of arrows upon them, they didn’t know where we came from and they screamed for battle, they started to charge on us and we reply with the same action, blowing the horn and sending our warriors and Calvary in together with airborne, the fight was intense with many looses, body parts flying around, huge puddle of blood forming beneath us, it was hard to see who is alive and who's not from all the blood on us and around us, it was kill frenzy, the screams, the horror, pile of so many dead bodies, the sight wasn’t pleasing, we didn’t know when this hell is going to end and after few hours it was over, the last warrior of the monsters army was killed, it was tremendous victory , we annihilated these monsters, we won the battle!
Looking around for our fallen ones, calling our healers to do their job on them, they were too many and we searched until we found all, healers were preparing their herbs and spell to the resurrection ceremony and when they were ready we resurrected them all.
Afterwards
After making sure we had all our troops back we entered the cave and we couldn’t believe our eyes, more than 90k black gems to divide between us, more than 45k each. We took the gems heading straight home to our housewife and friends, feasting our victory, telling our story, satisfaction I cannot describe.
"I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades Vex the dim sea: I am becoming a name; For always roaming with a hungry heart, Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, council, governments, Myself not least, but honored of them all; And drunk delight of battle with my peers, Far on the ringing plains. I am part of all that I have met; yet all experience is an arch where through Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, to rust unfurnished, not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life."
Now it's time to rest, until the next ruin pops

I hope you guys and girls enjoyed the story, it was fun to write it.
