Hi everyone I'm loki100, also a moderator on the AAR forum and current writing AARs for Pride of Nations by AGEOD, Rome and EU3 by Paradox. I've taken the humans. So on with the business:
A warlock (Loki) and his cat (Tiddles) approach a ramshackle town.
The name plate swings ominously in the spectral wind. Our hero starts to rub at the obscured sign with his robe ... realises he will get dirty and uses Tiddles instead.
Slowly (as in Alien) the letters emerge ... F---O---R---T---W---I---C---H
"what do you reckon"?
[miao]
"so thats all you have to say"?
Tiddles starts to clean himself.
"Oh well, lets see if we can get some food for tonight"
The Warlock enters the town and ascends the steps of the central building.
"Friends, Fortwichans, Countrymen ... lend me your ears"
[urrghh, I'm not that hungry]
"Greetings oh humans, I am here to save you in this era of turmoil"
[we're all doomed then]
"Shut up tiddles, this is meant to set the scene and convince them to trust us ... you do want to be fed tonight"?
[miaow]
"Anyway, to help you out I've brought some nice lizardy chaps along, don't panic they really will be on your side soon enough. Thats them, just to the south".
[miserable bunch of fly eaters]
"Tiddles, shut it".
