c02s05e00 - The Liberation of Darguun Hells yes. The first hybrid nation of Athasain, Thranish, and Warforged is adopting the Darguun reservation after roflstomping New Cyre. day 223 The team loads up 2 clawships heading for New Cyre. They intercept and wreck a small scout ship with kazarak emblems displayed. the south mountains are sprinkled with warmek turrets and the city itself is garrisoned with warmek. Beyond range of the turrets amassed 30,000 Darguun warriors on horse and foot stuck in the bronze age with animist shamans bolstering morale and providing for the sprawling collective of greenskinned clansmen willing to die to resist their oppression after the slaughter of undreds of thousands of plainsmok (not plainsmen) innocent of Kazarak and the Cyran cult aspirations. two years is all it took for the cult of kazarak to devastate an entire people. Now a bridge of hellish land connects Darguun to Thrane and the mok aren't isolated alone at the mercy of the skyborn humans any longer. The paladins of fury are SO on board with this. 19 hours between Bartertown and Darguun. day 224 kicking their way through scouts, guards, dozens of curious encampments of hardened hulking hobgoblin warriors, slender sly goblins, and hawk-eyed bugbear-- the team hands out pamphlets of propaganda about the fury, the formation of bartertown, the threat to all homes from kazarak. Finally, face to face with the The head shaman zhro taag'kor -- he hands Frank, Dhraksis and Rogar pamphlets of DolDorn, the Hero of Courage and Steel. The propaganda speaks of the world as living spirits and that DolDorn embodies the highest traits revered by the clans of Darguun.. strength, Cunning, Courage, Sacrifice. A real Kor Mok all the greens aspire to be in their own lives. DolDorn provides ability and tenacity. The Fury provides focus and direction. it's an elegant expression of how the two groups can aid each other's development. Darguun provides the raw power and numbers needed to storm the gates of hell, The team has the path to retribution literally mapped out to avenge the murdered Darguun plainmok, and retake their independence as equals among the Khorvaire nations. The team begins training the bronze age warriors in modern weaponry while two pickles full of seahorses, firearms, and additional manpower to support the training. day 225 The assault on New Cyre begins. in summary- the team use their airpower to distract and pressure the turrets and warmek that is defending the city. The darguun pull in fog to provide cover and storm the gate after the team destroys the barriers with cfocused gunfire. instead of thousands and thousands of mok lost it was a minimal 800 dead. that was it of the 30,000 willing to die. Good day. the high citadel of New Cyre was protected by a force shield that could be teleported past but was able to take incredible amount of damage from the firearms and melee wapons alike. the more damage it took, though-- the more the shield shrank, becoming stroner as it decreased in size. Inside the citadel it was vacant. Down in the ddepths of the structure Dhraksis found a portal stepping across to the nether which he destroyed immediately. At the top of the high spires, Frank finds a warded room ocupied by a docent system controlling the force shield, but they are undefended and seized by the team for awakening and repurposing. Lots of docents available for repurposing, along with thousands of warmek automatons remotely controlled, void of their own docents. From here, Bartertown begins shipping spare materials, stockpiled weapons and armor and warmek engineers to repurpose the scrapped machinery and modernize the tools for the idle docents to further empower the new army. 200,000 mok died during the Cyran ritual. 600,000 remain across the continent. The clans agree to align 50,000 warrriors with Bartertown for training and payment for the support during their liberation. those that siege hell will become heroes of legend. The hunger for freedom is palpable among the ranks, blending with the conviction and purpose of bartertown envoys harmoniously. day 227 thrane and aundair are able to send relief and support to bartertown day 234 Glaive of undoing is finished purification. <end of session> day 234 (first frost due soon) 2/3 to level 19 loot acquired ----------------- thousands of animated armor 100 docents dozens of turrets warmek frames the force shield gizmo 50,000 Hard-Kor Mok Darguun Warriors
