Day: 2
Location: Warburg
The storm was much freircer than origanally anticapated. But, the mission went along as planned. Our men reached the Web as the eye of the storm passed over. The battle at the entrance was extreme as the two forces exchanged fire. In the end we gained access. That was untill a Hero Came and screwed the whole mission up. We are still waiting for an ID of this hero. All we know it that it swooped in and decimated our troops with ease.
Pther than that we lost five ships to the hurricane all holding experamental drugs inside. We are still waiting for the results of that. Unfortantly Today was not the best of days.
(So, if any one wants to throw in their hero or not.)
Day: 3
Location: Warburg
Arachnos command contacted me today, saying that they want the Blitz ordeal handled within a week. I requested more troops for another push into the island, but was denied. Reports from our patrols indicate there's an 'orgy of violence' occuring on the island; apparently that hero that caused my squad some 'displeasure' yesterday is wrecking havoc among Blitz's forces.
I think the key to winning the island will be to capture whatever is in 'The Web'. Of course, if I deploy a large portion of my force, Longbow will become curious and investigate. I'd rather avoid that, so I sent another small squad towards the Web, but I still have yet to hear back from them. I wish there was a 'Destined One' around I could hire to go there.
On a personal note, I have some misgivings about the research facility under the island. For some reason the seperatist forces have been staying above ground, instead of taking the obvious tactical advantage an underground shelter would offer. Unfortunately that hero yesterday defeated my troops before they could ascertain the situation there.
The following is the commander's log for the Arachnos base commander of warburg. It documents the going-ons of the base, eventful and mundane. Anyone who wants to post the next entry in the log is welcome to, but the only point of view in this thread is the commander's. (I introduced this concept before in the Forum Games section and it yielded an 'interesting' ending, involving a pie monster and (obviously) the complete and total destruction of the island. I am curious to see how the roleplaying section will take this concept.)
Since this is more of a game, albeit a story-writing one just like the others in this section, I'll lay down some rules.
1) The only point of view is that of the Arachnos Commander. Any other characters must be written about in the third person.
2) 1 log entry per post, and each post should be set the day after the previous post's day.
3) The zone the day's activities took place in should be stated. This game is intended to take place in Warburg, but the last time Commander's Log was done other zones became involved.
Day: 1
Location: Warburg
Our situation is rather dire. When we arrived in Warburg to combat the seperatist forces of Marshal Blitz, we had no idea we'd also be fighting off a well-equipped Longbow unit. We've been here for several months and have made little progress in reclaiming the island. Meanwhile our 'Destined Ones' and heroes from Paragon City have been waging their own personal battles all across the island. The influx of heroes poses a threat significant enough for me to postpone sending a large force of my soldiers into the island.
Tomorrow, however, a hurricane will hit the island, forcing the Longbow aircraft carrier to move away from the island, so it won't be scuttled (it'd be a shame if that happened, yeah right...). I plan to take that oppertunity to send a small strikeforce into 'The Web', an abandoned underground research facility, to determine if there's anything that can be of use to us there.
