This time the troops of the Rowing Doom have returned to take revenge for the last stand of general Muraoka who was the first of the Northen Wind that dared to follow the fugative memebers of the Confused Houses into the savage lands of the Z1 natives. With them they had on their side the slimy ghoul allies and the brave troops of PATO. Through some minor order mistake the ghouls refused to join the fight which almost lead to a repetition of the disaster of the last campaign. Due to a cunning strategy the help of Agrik the forces of the Rowing Doom at last stod as victors and the blood of the fallen enemy was collected in big barrels. General Daquer has already declared that this victory is the biggest in his carrer and that he hopes that he can lead his troops out of this dark Banana-woods out into the sunlit plains where there will be some more lebensraum for all brave warriors that have left the home-continet to seek there fortune in a strange and hostile land. ######################################################################## On her travel during the last month Undine had met a lot of peoples. She had talked to them about the advantages to be a member of APPV: - first protection against this Lord Vox and his gouhls - second economic help to develop - third free teaching of magic, of sword fighting, any other stuff that could be teached - fourth help with diplomatic negotiations to avoid wars between APPV-members ******************************************************** Are you interessted to join too?? Then contact the First Ambassador: ute.winter@ku-eichstaett.de or any other APPV member. ********************************************************* ######################################################################## PAVILOVA - People Against Vox's Invading Looting Outragiously Violent Armys. Anyone out there who is opposed to VOX and is in the area of (8,30) or so please contact me immediately. I will be loosing my account soon and need to transfer my troops to someone who will continue to oppose VOX. I have a small band of nobles [ level 7 swordmen and the like ] and some peasant cannon fodder. Anyone interested in sending units to accept the transfer contact Ekij Lord of the MUSADites <133> @ u9127658@athmail1.causeway.qub.ac.uk VOX need not apply , but since he is an uneducated barbarian I suspect he can't write anyway. If you do find someone to read this to you VOX, I regret my portal to this world is closing soon and I wont get the chance to rid the world of your worthless civilisation. ######################################################################## Lord Vox looked at the messenger with utter astonishment. He was, in fact, too stunned even to take characteristic violent action, such as pulverizing the man's head. "You didn't want to WAKE ME UP?!?" "Well, frankly, Lord Vox, we had the combat fairly well in hand, and you were sleeping quite soundly. We understand it was a long trip up here, and we thought you'd rather.." "You didn't WAKE ME UP!!!? The biggest battle ever to occur on this continent?? Blood by the tankful? Enemy bodies to reave to ribbons? Nearly four thousand ghouls to feed? And you DIDN'T WAKE ME UP!!!?" The messenger shrugged, then wisely ducked back into the trees. Lord Vox gave a heavy sigh. Apparently the new cloaks worked well enough to turn the tide even without the ghoul army, though Vox himself thought it a bit cowardly to hide behind magic that way. And it *was* a nice nap. But Vox reminded himself to be more alert next month. And on top of that, still no responses from his marriage proposal to the Lady Blair Diamante! Vox had expected at least screams of outrage, howls of chastisement, righteous indignation, and various declarations of jihad. You'd think she didn't even care. Love was such a difficult plight for a Beast. ######################################################################## James Chester sat nervously in front of his thesis advisors. "This study of yours will be a great relief to many people," said one of the professors. "This force you called MP068 was not strong enough to support the weight of Atlantis." "No," said James, "the MP068 is very much strong enough to support this world but there are other forces that prevent its effect. One of these is called MVDNS1. The MVDNS1 limits the rate at which the MP068 may propagate its influence to the world. This limit is enough to cause Atlantis to sink under its own weight. Fortunately there is a new force that can support Atlantis, the IQE. The IQE is not hindered by the restraining force of the MVDNS1, so its full strength can be used to support this world." "Why do you think this IQE will support Atlantis when MP068 and before that the HEFFALUMP have failed." "I cannot prove that the IQE is sufficient. More study will be required to determine if it is indeed strong enough. All my thesis claims is that the IQE is supporting this world and has stopped this land from submerging." ######################################################################## =-=-= END TIMES 512 =-=-= ######################################################################## Up
