[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 4253092, member: 9026"] A terrible scene confronts the Heroes as they gaze into the mirror. A great, glorious city stands proudly, but descending upon it is a seeming wave of blackness. Closer inspection reveals the wave to be black-plated warriors, advancing upon the walled capitol. As you watch, Shining, Silver-plated warriors upon the backs of silver dragons appear ab ove the city, teleporting in from elsewhere to aid their brethern, but as they do, the remainder of the vile army reveals itself as swarms of white and black dragons descend from the clouds, the riders on their backs leading the charge with bolts of lightning and balls of fire as the aerial battle begins. Upon the ground, the battle is allready well under-way, the front lines of Lyrevan's defenders - Dwarves and humans, mostly - holding fast against their foes. Though they are outnumbered 5 to one, their discipline and heart shows through as they repel the first wave, priests moving up to aid in the defenses. From one of the four towers of the castle streams a volley of magic, some aimed at the army, some at the dragons, turning the tide in favour of the good guys. Until an ominous figure bursts down through the clouds. The gigantic black form swoops down, chasing a smaller Silver dragon. It catches the Silver and shreds its wings, sending it plumetting hundreds of feet as the Gargantuan Black Wyrm lets out a roar, spitting acid into the city's walls, a section of them melting. The black and red figure on it's back raises his sword, and wheels the dragon about, heading for the tower as the rain begins to fall. [sblock=ooc] If you wish to teleport, viewing the place through the mirror will be enough, as would simply going through the mirror. I'll assume you all find a way to get there with your epicness ;), so Please post Initiatives and intended actions for the first round (you'll be unnoticed until you do something to draw attention to yourselves). If you have intentions OTHER than going immediately to Islo's aid, please post said intentions. For those of you that did this the first time around, you may notice I've allready changed some things. :) the fight will be different, but I think it should still be a suiting start to an Epic Campaign. Also, to all in regards to this fight: I prefer to use a bit more free-form location system in Epic battle. If a specific distance matters, I'll tell you(Such as with the black figure), so otherwise, assume you can get into position to shoot a good portion of the army, or siege engines, or a dragon or two, or whatever your intended action is. Just make it fun, exciting, and preferably 'Epic'. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
