Mission:  Seaside Town: The Burning
subtitle: Midnight Ceremony

Original Rollover

Going against the recent trend of everything taking do long, I did a rather short Rollover here, but managed to post it the same day the last mission concluded.

It's short, sweet and to the point, too, establishing the mission in very clear terms. Check it out.

Enjoy.


Cloaked in the black skies of an ominous night, the evil Knob Goblin king stood on the top of the Council of Loathing's domed offices, his arms raised to the dragon above. Until this point, the succubus dragon had been content to fly overhead, blocking the Kingdom of KOL's magics and intimidating them. However, the Knob Goblin sought to change that.

Six Knob Goblin pyromancers stood around him, some wounded from earlier. They moved mechanically, akin to puppets being controlled by some unseen master. Between each pair of pyromancers stood an Elite Guard of a different specialty. Among the Elite, these were the most deadly. Finally, the four most dangerous of his guards, four of the Elite 7, stood back, watching the battles around the town rage, recovering from their earlier fights.

It was pitch black, with only the earliest drops of sun showing in the distance. Earlier, the Knob Goblin King had pulled his forces together to suddenly and unexpectedly lay claim to the Council's headquarters in the middle of town, using it to keep most of the twelve Council of Loathing members held hostage.

Daisuke stood alongside his servant, Cattaras, opposite of Grillhamo and the stoic Black Paladin. One could only assume the other Elite Seven were somewhere in the Council building below.

The midnight moon peered over, though the frequent, untiring shadow of the dragon continued to cross it, returned from its earlier injuries at the hands of Catrina Whiteclaw. Heavy fresh wounds remained on her dragonlike body.

"Begin the spell!" The King of the Knob Goblins called out. His command was executed with some precision and execution. "Now that we've seized our new headquarters, let us burn down the wrenched town around it!"

A singular light carried the King's command up to the succubus who flew in her dragon's form overhead. Though she hardly cared to, she was bound to the Knob Goblin King's will. So Seaside Town would burn, and it would burn spectacularly. Then, one day, perhaps the Knob Goblin King would be careless, and she'd extract her revenge for this humiliation by snapping his pathetic, human body in her mighty jaws.

The Adventurers lie scattered around town, and outside of it, with both sides of the army having settled into a resting period. Every battle tired itself out, sooner or later.. but the Knob Goblin had been amassing forces, which would sweep the town like blood very soon.

What little would be left of the town after it had burned down into nothingness, anyway!


Soo, the town's on fire, and it's up to the heroes to save the day! Of course, the Knob Goblins and especially the Elite 7 might have something to say about this. Something like, "Die, KOL, die!"
    We'll get our first Live RP in, then we'll see what's up with Konell and Kadlin!

Kingdom of Loathing (KOL) is a (mostly) original online game that apparently has something to do with Asymmetric Publications, LLC, and something called a Jick, who probably copyrighted it. This is the archive for an interactive writing game based on KOL, and a specific clan within- the Kingdom of KOL. Specific characters belong to their specific owners, specifically, unless specifically stated otherwise. This game was developed by Joshua A. Dexter, with rules based in part on Mercenary and Equinox. Live Roleplay rules developed and balanced by Cameron Millar. This is a non profit game done for entertainment purposes only. If a rash develops on your imagination, desist use immediately and consult a physician, psychologist, or 1-900 psychic for further assistance. KOL forums, store, entry at Answers, KOL's entry at Archive.org, and it's entry at Wikipedia, and KOL's own wiki. - JAD
In other words, I don't own KOL, or KOKOL, and KOL doesn't own KOL. Get it? Good!
