THE DARK SUN, Issue 21.
WAR INTENSIFIES IN GONDOR, MORDOR FLOODED WITH "REFUGEES"!
The bloodshed shows no sign of abating in this increasingly hostile
and
brutal War of Liberation. The so-called Dark Servants have dedicated
themselves
to freeing Middle-Earth from the Elven-led Capitalist Conspiracy,
therefore
the deaths must continue.
At the capital of Rohan this turn, the renegade Woodman BEORABORN was
put
to the sword by Cloud Lord agents, others there might think themselves
lucky they survived. BEORABORN had obviously prostituted himself to
the
Rohan cause after the early collapse of his own nation. At the
Northmen
capital too there has been much activity with the kidnapping of the
army
back-up commander COLOVAERE. At the same place SWITHWULF`s life was
ended
by the Cloud Lord`s 3rd ranked assassin, injuring a pitiful wretch
called
MIN in the process. Once more the Northmen have been generous to the
DS
cause donating around 9k...i guess they are making so much that they
can`t
spend it all!?
Once again, the Freeps refugees have left their northern lands for
the tranquil
, beautiful plains of Mordor. Are things so harsh in the barren
North? A
good many companies have been spotted in our pop.centres. Luckily we
know
the names of many of their number and the next week might provide a
crushing
blow against this previously fortuitous tactic of the Freeps. So many
targets...
so few daggers...
Kal Nargil, that popular Mountain Retreat and Health Spa, so loved by
SAURON
& his cabinet, has once again changed hands from the Blind Sorceror
to
the Dark Lts this time. And guess what? ELROND and his little
effeminate
chums have decided to visit the world famous "Eagles Nest"
Restaurant. The
The phag-hag Galadriel has tagged along as usual, despite her brush
with
a would-be assassin [see what accidents might happen when you
continue to
appear where you are unwanted?] and will probably spend her entire
fall break
looking through the bottom of an empty bottle of Orcshead Ale. The
slattern.
A party this week at Durthang has been arranged to welcome our many
Freep
guests, unfortunately we are not sure that they will like the gifts
we proffer.
Did someone forget to do their scouting? Hard to say what the
collection of
emmies, mages and agents hope to achieve there, but it might cost
them more
than they are willing to pay...unfortunately [or fortunately if you
are
a pointy-eared, lipstick wearing Freepy] Ice King assassins failed to
take
out Elfhild last turn, though KLEEBO would like to compliment her on
her
"special party dress" and would like the chance at a 2nd date!? Good
to see the
stumpies bounce back at 2717 with a new army, perhaps in ten turns or
so
they might have a force big enough to scratch Morannon`s front door?
The Dark Lts continue their military offensive in Rohan at the
forefront
of the Dark Invasion. Last week GOTHMOG led his huge army against a
Silvan,
and two Rohan armies, losing narrowly @2522. However he did manage to
kill Widfara
in a pre-game duel! Celedhring was less fortunate, his challenge
being refused
by Camthalion who subsequently captured him in the heat of battle.
The big,
stinky wuss-boy. Celedhring did escape, but without his cherished
artifacts.
Boo! Argaldor, the Silvan back-up was chibbed post-game, so not all
was rosy
for the freeps, especially with reinforcements on the way for the
Darks!
More skulking Freeps have been seen at 3822, another popular Mordor
holiday
resort , it seems. They too might regret this, this week. Knives are
being
sharpened in anticipation!
Another battle for Woodstock [2527] took place this week, with the
forces
of Adunaphel`s Quiet Avenger`s overpowering 1100HC of the White
Wizard.
Methinks that that Saruman is making too much gold! After the battle
UGLUK
had the cheek to hire a new army here, so another battle is sure to
ensue.
The Freeps have at last unveiled their Ownership of Curse Technology,
with their
first victim falling this week; whilst the Darks have had this weapon
for
a long time, it has seen little use during the War, however this
attack--
it`s victim being the WK capital commander JUKATH--ups the ante
somewhat.
Reprisal attacks are expected soon. Very soon. In the North, armies
of Angulion
have been wreaking havoc; ROGROG`s forces winning a battle at the
DUNS capital
before heading North into Arnor. Two other WK armies are also running
around
the North Kingdom looking for things to burn...
The Rhun commander Jyganoth obviously has relatives at 3719 as he has
sent his
force there to take it back from Khand hands. Oooh, a camp, spare us
your venom!
The armies of Khand are building slowly for the coming offensive in
the East.
It is hoped that the Long Rider will soon be active in this region
too, though
the armies of Rhun/Northmen/Dwarves are enemies to be reckoned with...
hardly any sarcasm there.
After all the visitors the Freeps sent into the FK capital, very
little happened!
Two inconsequential FK characters died, and they left again.
Galadriel got
lucky to survive an assassination attempt and that was about it. The
FK
grows with strength every week! His armies will soon join the
offensive in
Gondor.
Speaking of which...two more South Gondor population centres have
fallen into
the hands of the Corsairs; Ethring fell to the forces of ALLURAC and
he
marched to Rendul which TELKURHAD had already taken to meet an army
of the
White Wizard under DURBUHUK in the near future. TELKURHAD moved on to
the
South Gondor`s new capital at MORTHONDOST and faces the refugee
CELEBORN
there this turn. The invasion gains pace. With new ships arriving and
ground
troops coming from the east, what chance have the Freeps got? The
second Battle
of Dol Amroth again went the way of the first; with a victory to the
forces
of VARGAELAS of the Corsairs. He defeated 1200 Duns charioteers, and
will
head North soon to aid his comrades. The Coward URDREK once more
refused
a noble challenge from GEDRON. But that was to be expected. We can
have no
pity for former neutrals who chose the wrong path in their disdain for
the One True Lord; SAURON! There will be no quarter given, no mercy ,
we will
kill all who stand with the Elves in their heresy!!! The great news
from
Morannon is that it is back in DS hands, the Corsairs having
liberated it
in time to see a paltry pair of Dwarves arrive there. Their folly! I
guess
they thought they were being clever, but as i`ve said for weeks, the
FP
luck had to run out. It did so this week. The earth of Mordor will be
soaked
in Freep blood by the time i report back to you again,
Your Servant,
Wrigol Perrit, Prophet of Sauron, Minister of Information.
