Magic: The gathering- war of the planeswalkers

[Flying-Emu]

Spoiler: I understand, but...

Just one complaint, cptjack. If you read my post, Elira had you in a death-lock. It's going to need a bit more than a smack on the wrist to break that.

C'mon, be creative! I realize we need to spread apart, but give it a bit more effort!

 

[ae86gamer]

Freya watched as Ailed walked to his respective side. She put her staff back on her back and turned.

So now it really begins.

She slowly made her way to Julius. She walked past him and stood a few feet away.

"It is an honor to be fighting by your side Julius."

Sorry, didn't read that post very well.

 

[Crowghast]

Black and violet mist clouded the sky, and settled as a thick fog over the land. The ground shook, the terrain altered, and a gate appeared.

Kazimierz stepped out, briskly, and shouted with a voice amplified both by magic and anger.

[b\][i\]Alkaloth![/i] Listen now you heartless, conceited, cowardly, elf![/b]

He ripped a wall formed of the mist and corrupted terrain between them, a contorted writhing mass poured from it, thralls of all shapes and sizes, which viciously attacked the knight of Bant, and surrounded the elf.

[b\][i\]You dare to hawk perjury at me? [i\]Do you?[/i] You promised me a body, not irrevocable destruction, this battle is [i\]folly[/i], you [i\]waste[/i] my time and [i\]scoff[/i] at our agreement![/i][/b]

Kazimierz may have let his impatience get the best of him, but how many hundreds of years had he waited? One more second... he could not bare it. He would have his desire, now.

 

[SargentToughie]

Julius sits down on a log, sighing to himself
"Are that elf and I already so famous that people know our names who we've never even met?

...

Alkaloth looks over to the individual that he had made an agreement with, he didn't hear the rant of Malice
"Silence, once that human is out of the way, we will be the rulers of everything in the known multiverse"

 

[wesdabigman]

Bartok, after finally burrowing himself out of the earth, listened closely to the earth and felt the two warriors at opposite ends of the planet, preparing to fight, but was unable to tell which side was which from half the planet away, and didn't really care, since a fight was a fight regardless.

"Hmmm... Eenie Meenie Minie...THAT WAY!" he shouted and began shuffling toward the side of Alkaloth calmly and without hurry.

 

[Crowghast]

Kazimierz threw his hand in the air, and his servants stepped back. His ghostly pathos shimmered and contorted, and his eyes smoked black as he shuddered with fury.

[b\]You would ask me leave for 'silence'? No, not even so, you [i\]demand[/i] me to be silent?[/b]

The other planeswalkers began to annoy him, especially the one talking to itself, "Malice", was it? He set his other servants upon them.

Merging into the surrounding fog, and jumping out of the shadows, they pent up all the others.

[b\]Do [i\]not[/i] let them move. They will not interfere.[/b]

He turned back to Alkaloth.

[b\]I will let you satisfy your pride, you may slay this human, but remember that when you signed our agreement, you gave me a leash.[/b]

The burning mist of black subsided, and his form relaxed.

[b\]A leash... is a noose with [i\]two[/i] ends, elf, remember that.[/b]

He focused his attention on the other planeswalkers.

 

[SargentToughie]

Julius looked around at the other planeswalkers, although some of their forms were misleading, he knew that because they were with him, that their hearts were in the right place. So he stood, his sliver armor glowing faintly in the dark night sky, he spoke out to the other planeswalkers in his camp, praying that they would remain as allies to his cause.

"I have never met any of you before, but you are here, with me. This means that you have made the choice to fight for freedom, now is the time where I explain to you, confused souls, exactly what is going to happen. Both if we win, or lose"

He tells them of Alkaloth's ambitions, and of their previous meeting on the field of battle. He tells them of the elf's dark desires to dominate the universe. And he tells them that they have no choice but to prevail, for the sake of every living being in the known multiverse.

.......

Alkaloth looks over at his 'allies'. They were here for the same reason he was, to dominate the multiverse and rule over it for the rest of their known lives (except for the one that seemed to pick a team at random). He grinned as he realized how many of them were on his side, after this battle was over, their reign would be one that was a race to see who could betray who first.

But before the betrayal, they would stand as a single front, and crush those overconfident idiots that had sided with the humans. He spoke to them, told them of the unbound riches and royalty that stood over them. They would be gods, dark gods that ruled over the world with a dark fist.

Spoiler: now you...

just talk among yourselves for a few posts, if I come back online to find 2 pages of small talk, I'm gonna start bustin' heads

 

[Crowghast]

Kazimierz had signed his pact with the elf for two reasons. One of the reasons wasn't as necessary, but the second was.

First, he needed a new body. He could've chosen any other carnomancer in the multiverse, but he decided the elf would suffice. Why? That's the second reason. Alkaloth was an experienced, and powerful planeswalker.

Kazimierz was merely the powerful owner of many powerful others. He was new to the spark within him.

He accepted that easily.

He did [i\]not[/i] accept the weakness of requiring another person, however. He only had a minor toleration for it, and that had nearly broken earlier.

[i\]I must temper myself, lest the elf see the joker in my deck...[/i]

He sensed the ambition in Alkaloth almost seconds after meeting him. Driving, singular, and folly. The man believed he could become, by design, a god. He believed he could [i\]rule[/i] the multiverse.

Kazimierz understood ambition.

He also understood the practical and the impractical.

Attempting the rule all that is and ever will be, without any sort of sense as to the grand scale of economic and political power it would take to run such an empire, was, inherently, doomed to fail.

Kazimierz recalled a saying.
[i\]If brute force does not win the day, you did not use enough.[/i]
He knew that was true. On the field of battle.

He stepped to the right side of Alkaloth, glowering casually at the others by his side.

[i\]He styles himself as a dark lord. An 'evil' being.[/i]

But the wraith knew the elf was smarter than that. He likely understood his folly, and maybe even his insanity. Perhaps that was his purpose? To simply [i\]do[/i] what he wanted, because he could? To shake the foundations of the multiverse until the rafters collpased and the inhabitants begged him for mercy and salvation?

[i\]That's why he needs me...[/i]

Kazimierz realized some of the plan, Alkaloth would only be a symbol. A great, omniscient being of immense capabilities, who would be dreaded and hated.

And someone would have to clean up the messes he made, and assure the people of his intentions.

 

[wesdabigman]

Bartok, after walking with some intent, finally arrived at the side of his "allies". He slipped into line and tapped a rather pale human's shoulder.

"What I miss?"

 

[Flying-Emu]

Elira felt her eyebrow cock at Julius' explanation. It felt so surreal.

To be a warrior for freedom. To fight for the good of the world.

How quaint.

Clearing her throat, she stood and looked upwards at Julius' face, her eyes hard-set. "Listen, Sir, I'm truly appreciative of your cause here; real amiable and all. But I didn't choose to come here. What's the worst that could happen here? One plane falls? There's thousands more. This Alkaloth chap begins a conquest to rule the multiverse? I'd like to see him try; there are plenty on the side of good and freedom."

She rested herself against the now-solid quarterstaff. "No offense intended, but I see little point to attempt to kill another Planeswalker. As if it were even possible, to be sure."

 

[seanez]

OOC: Because of my lack of posts in the thread I'm turning my character over to GM. Sorry, would of loved to of joined in.

 

[ae86gamer]

Freya quietly sat on the floor. Hating fighting she disliked what was going to happen soon. She rested her staff on a nearby stone. She heard Elira and what she had to say.

Does she really think that he'll stop with just destroying one plane?

She spoke in Elira's direction.

"I imagine killing him is not the priority on the count that it is nearly impossible. We must stop him. If he destroys one plane then he will surely destroy more. And we cannot allow him to take the lives of countless innocent. That is why we must try and put and end to the fighting here before it gets out of hand."

 

[Berethond]

"You are correct indeed, Freya. We must not allow him to destroy all the planes." Rho'dar said.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Elira snorted "Please. And do you think that the free people of the next plane will so kindly lay down and die?" She yawned, scratching at her nose. "If they do, then perhaps they deserve to be subjected to that bastard's tyranny. 'Survival of the fittest' and all that."

The others stared hardly at Elira. Raising an eyebrow, she continued "You are all seriously considering battling for the rest of eternity?" She leaned in, using her staff as support, and said in a hot whisper "He will not stop. I know, you know, we all know his kind. He will fight until the multiverse itself collapses around him; this is a battle we cannot win!

"For the sake of whatever divine being you follow, think about it! We can lock in eternal struggle here, fighting until one party admits defeat, which will not happen, by the way. Or, alternatively, we could be intelligent about this.

"Figure this. I can't imagine that those creeps over there haven't had some inkling of a thought along the lines of mine. But hold with me for a moment; if I remember my stories correctly, there is still someone in the multiverse with knowledge of the destruction of Planeswalkers. What if we were to access him? His knowledge?"

Elira leaned back, glancing quickly at the surroundings. "I do not like this. We must hurry, if this is to be carried out. Alkaloth and his minions will surely have thought of the same thing."

 

[ThreeWords]

Spoiler: Question!

Do you need some new players, and if so, can I join? =D

 

[SargentToughie]

Spoiler: threewords

a player just dropped out, so I suppose we have an opening

just PM me your sheet and join in the epic war fun

Julius turns to Elira
"The points you make are valid, but I have met alkaloth several times in the past, we are on this world because it is different from all of the others in the planes, it was made by the planeswalkers of old"

he points around
"Surly you've noticed, noticed how the world doesn't bend to your will like a firebrand through butter, how it remains in tact, and how some of you may even have been injured. We are on this deserted plane because it is the only one in which planeswalkers like us are mortal. It was the elf that first stumbled across it, the two of us made a solemn pact that one of us would be killed here, in battle. And the other would take the multiverse as he sees fit."

He looks at her again
"That is why we fight here, because in this world, we are mortal"

....

Alkaloth sits silently, he had calmed them with incentives of greed and power. Such strength could unite a group of people who would otherwise be bickering among themselves at the very same moment. He smiled to himself as he imagined that self-righteous human try and unite all who may have followed him.

He was in the lead, and he planned on keeping his advantage.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Elira felt her blood run cold. "M... mortal?" She whispered, her knuckles white against her staff. "Y... you can't be serious."

A plane where immortals fall as swiftly as men. Elira gulped, forcing herself to meet Julius' eyes once more. "We can... die here?!" As Julius nodded slowly, she felt fear stab viciously into her heart. To die?! No challenge was worth that!

A pang shot into her mind. "What? Am I admitting fear?" Elira ground her teeth, cursing herself and her fool stubbornness. "I feel no fear! Fear is for the weak!"

Elira straightened her face. No good to be showing weakness here. "All right. So it's here we make our stand, I see." She felt a wry grin build across her lips. "Excellent. The anxiety is killing me."

She laughed at the irony of the statement.
