[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2137703, member: 9255"] STRIKEFORCE: MORITURI SEGMENT 093 “The War of the Multi-verse: THE LEGION OF DOOM” Chrystrall sat on his planar throne contemplating the events of the past two weeks. The mind flayer was contacted by a human from a back woods world called earth. He seemed prepared for anything and brought along a doppelganger for protection. It was this person that he knew. The human’s money and gems were good but it was the doppelganger that closed the deal. Chrystrall could have simply erased the human’s mind and memory but the assassin was known as Jarella. She was a well-known planar killer and to be working with him suggested bigger powers. The scarred human was merely a puppet. That was fine, in the end, we all dance on strings muses the mind flayer. The secret of life was to pull more strings than to be pulled by others. With the artifacts and gems given to him, he could more readily do this now. Vandal Boc was going to have the Legion of Doom to add to his pathetic shadow warriors. The choice of battle location was curious to him. At the Ruins of Snake Tongue within the Chaos Plane of Acheron. Snake tongue was a grand twin fortification built over a maze of deadly traps and captured creatures. The creators build it too well. They were placed under siege and it took 15 years, but eventually their stored foods and supplies ran out. That was thousands of years ago. Many armies have claimed control over the ruins. No one controls these ruins. They are alive and will look out for itself. To make it more of a challenge, there were two armies massing to try to control the forts. The Legion was to ignore these two armies and hunt a third force. A small team of highly skilled and armed warriors of Epic power. Chrystrall couldn’t resist any further. He has sent out several teams of his warriors and it is just a matter of time before the humans are killed. Speaking of which …… “Sounds like the battle has either ended or moved on.” “Okay then how do we get out?” “Join my hands and let us leave.” Says Christina. The cleric takes the hands of Vander and The Captain and says the last words of her spell. She asks them to close their eyes and she then does. She visualizes the grounds above and lets out her breath slowly. “You can open your eyes now.” It is still dark. There are signs of ice, lightning and fire damage everywhere. Pieces of a glass orb lay on the ground before a stone monolith. Vander looks at the pieces. “Someone teleported out using Planar psionics Captain.” “Jarella. Then it is official- they know we are here.” States the Captain. “Best be on alert.” The Captain looks at Christina. “I’m sorry Christina. I suspect she has gotten to Jim and then tried for Jean. However, we have our mission and don’t forget what lies at stake.” “Could it be your lives?” comes a hoarse but female voice. A large figure steps out from the dark shadows. She wears no clothes but carries a large spiked chain. She appears to be an ogre or ½ ogre. She smiles at the Captain. “Captain- narghhhhh!” snarls Vander as waves of energy seem to appear out of no where aimed directly on him. The Captain and Christina avoid the worst of it. Something moves rapidly within the shadows laughing a tiny high-pitched laugh. Even as Christina rises to her feet she feels waves of infernal energy wash over her. She feels herself weaken but then wills it off. Out of the shadows steps a ratman dressed in tattered strips of cloth. It carries before it an unholy symbol. “Your will …it is strong.” Christina looks at the creature and remembers Jean’s description of the creature that altered her into an undead creature. “oh-no.” [/QUOTE]
