4 Part Battle Report Narrative.

[N1ck]

Hello everybody,

This period in the escalation/achievement league that I am participating in, had an achievement in which I have to link 4 games into one long battle report narrative. I figure I would keep it on the same thread and will add each part in a new comment within the thread.

This is my first attempt at doing a narrative so please bear with me. If you have any thoughts, concerns, or questions please feel free to ask.

One last note, in the narrative I assumed that I shouldn't kill off Unique models such as Ototo, Johan, Taelor, etc. so I have them "knocked out" or "fainted" just as a heads up. However the non-unique minions and what not well get the full force of the slaughter.:1_Happy_Puppet1:

Game: Reckoning

Schemes: Take Prisoner -Taelor & Breakthrough

Final score 1-0 in my favor

Above is my opponents crew and on my right is my crew.

Now on with the story!

Ototo received a mission from Shenlong, Ototo’s attacking leader while Misaki was away for reasons unknown. Shenlong demanded to know why Viktoria and Taelor were so concerned about a few abandoned, ruined buildings in the middle of the woods. He ordered Ototo to take a small group and figure out what all the commotion was about.

Ototo called upon a Torakage, two Archers, and his companion, the Oiran.

The five of them snuck into the woods unnoticed and spotted a clearing up ahead. In the clearing, were the ruins that Shenlong had mentioned. There he spotted Viktoria and Taelor. They were accompanied by Johan and the Student. With the element of surprise still in effect, Ototo told his Archers to flank each side of the ruins to surround the Outcasts.

The Torakage slinked his way towards the ruins and continued to sneak around in order to get a closer view of what was so important. Realizing that it was Taelor, whom had whatever that interested Shenlong, was needed to be taken prisoner. He asked his trusted Oiran to walk into the middle of the ruins and wait there until the enemy spots. Sure enough this plan became successful when Johan and Taelor both stumbled across the baited Oiran. Before Ototo could approach Taelor, he heard one of his Archers call out saying he had spotted Viktoria and that she was hastily approaching his location. Fearing that the Archer would undoubtedly perish, he ran off towards the Archer hoping that his Oiran could fend for herself. By the time he got to the Archer, Viktoria was almost upon him. Ototo quickly ordered the Archer to let loose his arrows on her. The Archer, with deadly accuracy, struck Viktoria twice. While her main focus was on the Archer, Viktoria did not notice the Torakage charging her until the last second. Unfortunately that one second was all that Viktoria needed to dodge his oncoming blade. However she did not see the other blade coming, striking her hard and poisoning her with the tip of his blade. Near death, Viktoria gathered up what remaining strength she had left and swung at the Torakage with all her might. The blow caught the Torakage off guard for he didn’t have a chance to defend himself. The blow killed him instantly. Ototo, who saw the entire incident unfold, shrugged saying “Damn, good thing Torakage are expendable.” With renewed spirits, Viktoria fled into the woods.

Ototo planning on chasing Viktoria heard the Oiran’s screaming. Sensing danger, he ran into the ruins hoping to get to her in time. Meanwhile, with there no longer being an element of surprise, Taelor easily spotted the other Archer and quickly approached him. The Archer was clever and was able to run away from Taelor just in time. While fleeing Taelor, the Archer spotted Johan and fired an arrow at him. Johan seeing the arrow come at him, deflected it effortlessly with his Relic Hammer. Johan then charges the Archer, whom was able to leap out of the way just in the nick of time. With the commotion no longer focused around her, the Oiran quietly walked away. She spotted Ototo and whistled to get his attention. Noticing her, Ototo quickly approached her.

With the death of the Torakage, and the failed attacks on the Archers, Ototo had to think of a new plan. Ototo was caught off guard when Taelor charged him and swung at him. “Well that made things easier,” Ototo thought. Screw taking her to Shenlong for him to interrogate her. He wanted to get down to business himself and figure out what was going on. The new plan was now to knock her out, take care of the rest of the Outcasts, and then personally interrogate her. Taelor connected her hammer to Ototo’s face yet he didn’t flinch. He stood there a minute looking at her, and spit out the blood that gathered in his mouth, that made him angry. Ototo returned the favor by whacking Taelor with his beat stick. Ototo looked down at Taelor, who was getting back up from the hit, laughed at her and said “Oh come on now, it’s just a flesh wound.” Focusing and laughing at Taelor, Ototo didn’t see Johan’s hammer fall upon him. This made Ototo’s blood boil, he was very enraged at the pesky Outcasts. The Archer that was able to dodge Taelor earlier spotted her within the crowd. He took carful aim and released an arrow from his bow. The arrow found its target badly wounding Taelor.

Oiran was fearful that Ototo would die, the only thing she could think of being able to do was be in the middle of Ototo and the enemy. She confronted Taelor attempting to protect her man.

Unfortunately this left a clear shot for Johan. He took his Relic Hammer and beat the living snot out of Ototo. Barely breathing, and slowly getting back up from the beating he just received, he struggled to let out a chuckle and said “That’s it? It’s only a flesh wound.” He quickly turned to Taelor and delivered a devastating upper cut with his Tetsubo, instantly knocking her out. Johan seeing what just had happened couldn’t believe his eyes. Taking the opportunity for the distraction, Ototo swung his trusty Tetsubo at him. However the damage, how severe it was, did not knock him out like it did Taelor. Oiran seeing the chance to deliver the final shot approached Johan and shanked him. The concealed weapon was able to take to knock him out due to the fast acting poison on the blade. While everyone’s attention was focused on what was going on within the ruins, Viktoria charging out of the woods takes her sword and slashes through an Archer killing him instantly.

The other Archer seeing that his comrade has been slain, fires off arrows toward her. Each arrow grazing her, and was hardly doing any harm to her. Viktoria slowly approached Ototo and took a swipe at him; he was barely able to dodge the attack. Ototo was tapped on strength, he was overly exhausted. Seeing this, Viktoria whacked him with the butt of her sword knocking Ototo out cold. Realizing that their leader is now longer conscious, the Archer saw that the poop was gonna hit the fan, and was gonna hit quick. He confronted Viktoria, being a distraction in order to give the Oiran enough time to drag Ototo away from harm. The Oiran took Ototo into the woods, she turned back to see what would conspire only to see Viktoria approach the Archer with her sword at the ready…

As a reminder,there are still three more parts to this story. They will be posted at a later date. (Probably by the end of this weekend.)

Great write-up! I think I like your write-ups more when you don't claim that they are the greatest of all times.

I like this story, especially when the torakage dies... again. There seems to be a theme building with him. Die every game. But I like the story, keep writing these up.
