Gates of Ekrund... Through Solid Stone Walls
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2015 1:14 pm
On a grassy knoll overlooking the Gates of Ekrund, Ooul the Chosen stood shoulder-to-shoulder with some of his most respected comrades.
“Welcome, Dark Elf,” Ooul said, in an aloof but not enlightened voice. “You have survived.”
“This is shaping up to be a most difficult assault,” claimed Sleenkey, a Discipline of Khaine with a highly strategic mind. “Reports say they have seven healers and many of their warriors use the ‘magic’ bullets and "seeker" arrows we have come to hate.”
“I don’t mindz wot you call a stand-up fight, boss,” the crick-nosed Shaman Porkstar observed as he trundled up to the two of them. “But dis time you is right. Dey gots all of the cheatin’ classes, plus da healz’s.”
Still, Queleen, Ardz, and Timber, fresh from taking down the three lair bosses, arrived. There had been no resistance at the lairs since all Order were defending the ‘Gates, and the rewards had been great. Now the Destruction warriors agreed that despite the greater numbers of healers on Order’s side, the skill of Destruction would run the show.
The Destruction team charged down the hillock and up the assault ramp, going into the supply room. As Order took position two-hundred yards away, their Engineers began to target Destruction’s warriors “through the solid stone walls.” With each second, the turrets of the Engineers took health from the Destruction side. The Shadow Warriors were already shooting as well, much in the same fashion.
But this time the Desturction force was ready, sending a large contingent to ORDER’S side of the gates to hit from behind. The Choppa Regicyde and Ooul the Chosen flanked Order as they emerged from the ammunitions cache onto the deck. Then, up a broken piece of stone came the Choppa Daskull and the Chosen Morwar, along with an axe-wielding mutant Marauder named Gnashspike and the Ork Iamdabiggestest. The destruction melee train shut down the ranged power of Order and their healers either fell like weak trees in a windstorm, or jumped off the top of the Gates to their deaths in utter panic.
Gnashspike laughed in spite of himself and shouted to all who could hear, “There are none who can stand before us in a fair fight!”
From the top of Ekrund’s Gates two mighty Dark Elf Sorcerers, Tarajima and Mez, blasted the Order re-enforcements as they came up the Order-side approach. Each accounted for ten kills that morning, as Order kept trying and failing.
Astride his disc, the Magus Voidmaster had been hanging back at the supply room, mindful that the other members of his team had the situation in hand. Yet he saw Order was trying to to slip the noose that Destruction created, flanking with their fat, greasy Engineers and effeminate, pasty Shadow Warriors. Voidmaster called out, “They are at the supply room!”
As one, the Destruction team left their positon on the wall overlooking the Order-side approach and together they charged to the supply room. The Choppa Dreadsta and the Ork Smashah lead the way, cutting into the soft Order healers, followed by the rest of their comrades. This time, it was Order’s destiny to fall. That evening, the victorious Destruction team stood watch over the Gates of Ekrund.
