Opening Log

[the_last_free_mods]

A few days have passed since the Qin army marched on Midgard's walls. The warriors already there don't know how much longer the front gate can last. The Qin forces are slowly picking off the wall's defenders, whittling down their numbers.

A metallic dragon twists and writhes in the sky, raining destruction from above. Sanzuwu streak back and forth across the sky, strafing and intercepting any aerial units. Shishi slam into the gates repeatedly, while terracotta soldiers make use of siege engines to break down the gate.

And finally, the inevitable occurs; the gate crashes open. Qin soldiers start flooding in.

But at that very moment...the Bifrost activates.

The first wave has come.

[[OoC: Welcome to the game! You'll be starting off fending off a Qin invasion. You are free to godmode enemies within reason, though the mods may occasionally take over from time to time. Defeat enough enemies, and a boss may appear...

Enemy types can be found with descriptions in the cut below.

Dragons - Strange, otherworldly energy beings that serve the Qin. They are given physical, robotic bodies in the form of classic Chinese dragons so that they can interact with physical world. Enormously powerful. Ascend to their home plane if their bodies are destroyed. There are only nine Dragons at any one time, but if ever one is defeated, its body can be rebuilt.

Fenghuang - Flying Qin battleships. Huge. Phoenix themed decoration. Lots of heavy weapons.

Sanzuwu - Qin fightercraft. Fast, lightly armed. Three distinctive landing gear that look like bird legs.

Yaoguai - Soldiers subject to modification experiments that didn't work properly. The Yaoguai are capable in combat, but their upgrades have left them mentally unstable and very violent.

Shishi - Robot lion statues. Powerful frontline warriors.

Terracotta Soldiers - Clay statues of soldiers that have been animated. The rank and file.

And finally, Thor has something to say to you.]

"Well sorry! Why don't we just ask the robots trying to blow us up if they'll stop for a few minutes!"

Straightening out, Cross slams forward to make the ship go faster towards the warship.

"Take your shot!"

[puppy_lancer]

"WHICH BUTTON IS IT?"

[hero_of_smiles]

They're going to die aren't they?

"THE BIG RED ONE! IT'S ALWAYS THE BIG RED ONE!"

He hopes

[puppy_lancer]

Lancer responds and, with the speed worthy of the fastest Servant, slams his fist onto the big red button. This time, it actually turns out to be the right one for firing the guns.

Unfortunately, since this is a sanzuwu, it doesn't do that much damage to the enemy fenghuang.

[hero_of_smiles]

"Gah! These guns don't do anything!"

Cross is now doing heavy maneuvering to try and avoid the ship from getting shot but it's getting hit a bit now.

"Do you have any other rockets left?!"

[puppy_lancer]

"It was this one, right?"

And there goes their last remaining rocket.

[hero_of_smiles]

Wouldn't you know it? The rocket manages to hit one of the propellors on the war ship. Looks like it's going to go down.

"Okay we need to get back down! I don't think this can take anymore damage!"

So Cross veers around to avoid more gunfire and land.

[puppy_lancer]

"Do you need to press any buttons to land?"

Because no matter how he tried to get the ship flat on the ground, it always either lifted up or nosedived.

[hero_of_smiles]

"Yeah. Just hold on it's going to be bumpy!"

Oh and bumpy it was. Cross however does manage to land the thing on a roof top. Hope you aren't feeling sick Lancer.

[puppy_lancer]

Thankfully, Servants are immune to motion sickness. However, it doesn't stop him from giving some dry retches before exiting.

"That was a doozy."
