War for the wasteland. (closed SRP)

[Selyn Shadowstorm]

Silus chatted with the blue dragon on the way to Zul'farak and they made a deal to become allies, all three partys.

((fixed.))

[The Madgod]

((we kinda interrupted that, to head over to ZF, mate. I'd say that this would have been talked about along the way. Essentially, we're wondering if your guys wanted to ally with us. If your intentions are just a small amount of pyrite like that, then it might be a good idea to ally with us. We'd have talked about it on the way to ZF, like I said.))

[Ryker]

Ryker heard a horn and low and deep rumbling in the distance. He and his goblins had been resting in a large cave near Zulfarrak. "BOSS! BOSS!" The watchmen ran into the cave startling the other goblins. "BOSS! We got a big group of who the hell knows marchin straight for Zulfarrak!" Ryker mulled over the information. "Everyone get ready for a fight, I want all my bruisers in formation NOW!!!" The startle bruisers ran out of the cave forming up ranks. "Sharpshooters follow close behind but keep well hidden, Im gana talk to these people and they start gettin hostile cover our retreat and we'll hole up back here."

Ryker and his bruisers marched towards the oncoming cloud of dust. One goblin held a broken long pike with a white rag on it while another held a long pole with the Insignia of Kezan identifying the goblins neutrality.

[Sora Dawnblade]

(ok, the rest of us need a little time to decide regarding alliances and whatnot and positioning of forces if you are arriving last and are already here.)

[Ryker]

(Already there, well not in Zulfarrak but in a large cave a couple hundred yards away from it))

[The Madgod]

Morzath sensed several creatures heading towards their war party. Instead of letting them see the army up close, he decided to come to them. Signaling two of his captians, an orc, and an elf, both clad in sinister-looking plate mail, he appoligized to the Demon Hunter and the dragons, and left, heading towards the creatures he sensed.

When he crossed a hill, he saw several goblins. Calling out in his sepluchral voice, he asked "Who goes there, that flys the flag of neutrality?"

[Sora Dawnblade]

Sora saw the goblins scuttling out of the cave with their flags and considered. He could undoubtedly swoop down on these little pests and annihilate them, yet it may leave him vulnerable to attack from behind if the drenai proved hostile.
Let's see how they react to this.
Signalling his knights, he dived down toward the sandy desert floor, Fireheart letting out a mighty roar. Sora and his brother knights landed their drakes at the midway point between his column and the goblins, awaiting their reaction.

(my party and the drenai would be seen by the goblins before yours, I think, since we had less to travel.)

It was too early for the youngling to fight. As of now, she was merely sitting ontop of a wagon, looking at the horison, trying to figure out exactly what she had done wrong. Xana belived that the stronger she was, the more likely she'd be able to assist him. Yet he didn't want her to seek it out in that way. The only question that remained was - how then?
Leaning backwards, her eyes were drawn to the sky.. "Empress sounds bad, if I am to be honest" She muttered to herself.

[Ryker]

"HOLD!" The bruisers quit marching and watched as the drakes landed barely phased by the show of force.
((idk who got to me first.. Ill assume it was the dood on the drakes))

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS HERE DRAKE RIDER!" Ryker shouted over to the men on the drakes.

[fryloc]

Fryloc stood atop the hilltop overlooking Tanaris. It had been a long journey for his army of crusaders. Following the path down he directed his two siege engines around rocks and obstacles. "Watch that rock fool you hit that and you get to push the engine the rest of the way." The driver popped out of the siege tank and swore "Paladin i swear you tell me how to drive my tank one more time and I'll run you over."
Fryloc laughed "Master dwarf I am merely trying to assist if you want to crash into things be my guest, but after your contract with me runs out."

Fryloc and his group set out towards Zul'farrak and set up camp a short distance away. "Tomorrow we scout the area since we were so late getting here I'm sure there are others nearby."
Fryloc walked around the camp making sure everything was in order before retiring to his blankets.

Dawn had arrived. Aalena woke un instantly, her heart pounding furously. The desert was full of commotion now, she could hear them. "Wake up my Draenei brothers and sisters!", she shouted, "They come, and we must move!". Suddenly, the other Grand Anchorites and Vindicators, along with Teluun, entered the tent. "We must go. More people come, and we must not fall behind. Begin waking the others, and prepare the elekks. We move in 10 minutes.", said Aalena, as the others rushed out of her tent.

Incredibly enough, they were prepared in ten minutes. Aalena, as well as the other Grand Vindicators and Anchorites mounted up, amongst many others, although there was a lack of elekks. They had to make do with what they had, and began leaving their encampment, travelling towards the city of the Sandfury Trolls. Their efforts were not unrecognised, for Aalena could sense it. They were being watched. Yet, the Grand Anchorite waved away the distraction, and continued.

The desert was much less desolate now. The sounds of hyenas, scorpids, and many other desert life forms littered the air. Yet, the air was still dry, and naturally, sandy.


((Also, the offtopic chat regarding the enemy thing on the last page was aimed at Saerwen. She said I was her enemy. However, I would be fine to ally with the Sunfury, if we find common ground. If not, no problem. My main intention is calling Arygos a "youngling". ))

[Sora Dawnblade]

Sora grimaced slightly, disgruntled that the goblins were unfazed by the display.
Odius little creatures, are they not aware they are but a hair from becoming drake food?
Motioning with one hand to halt his knights, he walked Fireheart forward alone to face the goblins. Halting in front of the one with the mouth, he stated, "We come for the pyrite, good goblin. I have no quarrel with you nor your people, yet I will not allow you to bar our path, be that your intention."
Raising one eyebrow at the creature, he asked, "What say you?"

[Sora Dawnblade]

((Again.... you got from Un'Goro to Zul'Farrak at the same time as us? seems a little far fetched given the distance you had to travel?))

[ELYPOP]

Zul'Farrak was finally within sight, and so was their competition. Elves, Dragons, Goblins, and many more. Teluun, the Grand Vindicator, had previously scouted ahead, and he reported his finding back to Aalena and the other leaders.

Aalena ordered her Draenei to take cover behind a nearby rock formation. Here, they were to set up camp, secluded from any interlopers. Anchorites and Arcanists lined the edges, ready to strike down anyone who dared to interfere.

As her units took cover, Aalena and Teluun set up camp closer to the ruins of the Sandfury trolls. They began eavesdropping on a conversation transpiring between a Goblin and a mounted Blood Elf. Something had caught both of their attention, a single word, and the sole purpose for this expedition: Pyrite.

"Wait. Patience shall unravel our true desire. It shall show us what we are here for.", whispered the Grand Anchorite to Teluun. "Very well, Aalena.", he replied. Aalena could sense his anticipation, no matter how he masked it. The blind always know more than what is displayed.

[Deleted]

The travel had actually been quite pleasent for Xana, and her energies were replenishing fast. The Draenei had come to her senses, and she was now readying herself for a battle to come. Hopefully, she'd be able to acquire additional souls for her pendant.
"I wonder where this will all end. So many alliances, so many forces. This could get really interesting" Xana noted to herself, as she was granting her gaze to the open land in front of her.

[ELYPOP]

"Our best bet would be to try and appeal to these others. Perhaps, cut a deal.", whispered Teluun. Aalena nodded in acceptance, "Very well, I shall accompany you.". Teluun spoke out instantly, "No, Grand Anchorite. I shall take Grand Vindicator Yanaa, and 10 others. 5 Harbingers and 5 Arcanists.", he took a deep breath, "You return to camp.". "Very well.", replied Aalena, and Teluun guided her back to their hidden encampment.

Teluun rounded up his 10 personnel, as well as Grand Vindicator Yanaa, and they set off towards the ruins. Hopefully something good would come of this. They remained on foot, for they could not risk the loss of any Elekk. They would be willing to side with any faction in this conflict, as long as they recieve their requested pyrite.

((These are all disposable, encase you want to take aggressive action. They are still all formidable fighters though, but they do come in peace.))

[Deleted]

(( Wich direction are you moving? Towards Xana, or the Goblins? Where you going? ))

[ELYPOP]

((Towards the Goblins/Blood Elves so far. Morzath, Arygos and you are quite close anyway, aren't you?))

[The Madgod]

((Morzath is, at least, yes. And Sora, I hoped to explain it by saying that the troops of the army did not require rest, so they made excellent time.))

Morzath overheard the goblin and elf, and cleared his throat, hoping for attention

"It would do you two some good to not forget about me..."

[Ryker]

"We bar no ones way elf. But we have claim on the pyrite here." Rykers men tensed up as the situation became ever more hostile.
