After the Great Battle of Magincia, I have decided to make an online blog of my Ultima Quests on the Pacific Shard.
Here is the tale as it was written in my backpack journal as we fought:
The Magincia Battle of the Undead has raged on for days now. I have taken part in long, hard days of battling Ancient Lichs, Lich Lords, and countless hordes of the Undead and protecting unsuspecting wanderering travellers and slaying Lich Lords and Ancient Liches with the company of many.
I have even seen Sarlock Longbow of The Elves grabbing loot of of an Ancient Liche he killed as I ran by healing myself after engaging one too many Rotting Corpses. We tried to corner and close exits of the main streets near the main square and tried to hold back the hordes of Undead spawning along the Magincia shore. They came in obscene numbers and the spawns were heavy.
A day of bloody memories.
We met at the Shattered Skull in Skara Brae as asked, a Sosarian Secret Council Meeting called by Sarlock Longbow to discuss the oncoming threat of Mercaerin and the Undead War in Magincia. We crowded the tavern and drank many ales waiting for any word. We were gated to a location and given brief history of the mercaerin by Zed, he spoke of their history and how the mercaerin were once powerful Paladins who have found a dark path. He prepared and motivated us for battle and the death that lie ahead for so many in Magincia. Sarlock told us of the importance of our gathering and that the turn out was goo for our realm. He also told us while Magincia may be the only city under siege right now, the constant swarms of the undead would surely make way and spread to other cities. From Trinsic to Skara Brae, and Vesper. Horrifying tales of death and destruction. We vowed they would never do so aloud!
With the aid of Lazarus and Chosen we again slayed beast after beast in bloody battles on the shores of Magincia, after what feels like the 4th Day of Blood. There are still streets filled with Ancient Liches, Skeletal Knights and Mages galore! A great night for beer and blood!
Random entry: Today I was feeding my horse near the bank in Skara Brae after some rest when Kalis Sevryn appeared announcing news of a call to the Royal Guard! After days of fighting in maginciaI hoped the Undead and the Mercaerins had not started their assault on the beloved Skara Brae so soon, and alongside the Battle of Magincia.
People poured into the Skara Brae main area. Kalis mentioned that Magincia was now under a more fierce attack than ever. The Dark Fathers and 10 times the amount of hordes were spawning in the streets of Magincia.
He said even corpses were exploding and there were piles of corpses like never before.
He urged us to make our way to Magincia as fast as we could.
A call had been put out to all cities for aid and a call to Battle. Some recalled but most of us standing near Kalis darted for the Skara Brae moongate to get to Magincia. I was one of the first from Skara brae out of the moongate in Magincia and helped lead them as a young warrior screamed "Where to again?" as I gated, I cried out "Magincia!"
As I exited I could see dozens of warriors forming a line to sweep into the city.
Mages and warriors, bringing Dragons and mounted on Swamp Dragons piled out of the moongate and started to walk across the jungle surrounding the entrance into Magincia. We walked through the much and Serpents and formed a solid line to begin our assault on the Undead Vermin from the West to East.
We came to the edge of the jungle brush and immediately saw multiple Bone Daemons writhing in the city. They were lining up alongside Ancient Lichs and the Dark Father Azazel leading dozens of Skeletal Knights, Rotting Corpses, Lich Lords, and other unspeakable foe such as the Tentacles of The Harrower.
The Battle raged on with many deaths, the City was now a field of slaughter, blood covered the streets and was everywhere. Corpses piled upon corpses filling the streets, with blood forming pools as the dead warriors thrown aside by the might of the Dark Fathers breathed their last breath as Mages fought on for their city one last night. Among the Dark Fathers lay following Maliel, Kaltivel, Baratoz, and Anshu forming a dark cloud that rose over the city and let us know how dark these times really are.
We fought long and hard, and took back the city. Afterwards, we swept the city one last time killing off the remaining Ancient Liches as we formed a swarm of power and ran around the island clearing our streets. Kalis informed us we had indeed fought them off and had taken our city back. We sat and the lucky showed off their loot. The Mercaerin Cloak was exceptionally nice.
After many deaths we smiled and drank ale once again, for the Battle of Magincia was now over.
