Part 1
The summons was heard and the summons was heeded. The cult of Mallibus was formed around the black obelisk led by the mighty barbarian Chaos. The dark priestesses could be heard chanting inside the ring of guards even over Chaos bellowing orders.
As the obelisk began to crackle with dark power Sir Forest and his band of followers appeared demanding the cult “step away from the obelisk”. Chaos sneered at the request. As his guards formed up behind him Chaos charged in to the Emerald Hills line singing a bloody song to Mallibus and hacking away with his sword.
The ferocity of the charge of Chaos and his guard took Sir Forest and his small army off guard. Their line bucked under the vicious attack of the blood thirsty barbarian and soon the field ran red with blood. Sir Forest managed to hold the line though, barking orders as he faced off against the berserker.
Suddenly, the priestesses of Mallibus were gone and the obelisk was charged with its dark powers. The bloody charge of Chaos had held Sir Forest off long enough to complete the task. With the priestesses gone though the cult army seemed to falter. Sir Forest took full advantage of this and began to deal out deadly retribution. Everlast smashed into a flank and decimated it single handedly, while Sir Forest charged up the middle with his wizard raining destruction down on the cultist. The rest of the EH army followed suit and they began to rout the followers of Mallibus.
From nowhere a lone assassin appeared in the middle of the Emerald Hill Army. The Grand Master of assassins made his might known. Causing confusion and panic in the lines the Grand Master weaved his trail of death through the EH army. This opened the gap Chaos had been looking for and he and his followers charged through. The Grand Master vanished into darkness as quickly as he had appeared leaving nothing to tell of his passing but bodies.
Sir Forest, once he regained control of his army, knew that Chaos was his. The barbarian had one last trick up his sleeve though. Chaos stepped forward and waved to the Emerald Hills army and particularly Sir Forest. With the signal give black clad assassins smashed into the back side of the Emerald Hills army. Spell and daggers were flying illuminated only by the eerie light cast off by the obelisk.
The assassins were no match alone against the might of the Emerald Hills army, but the fighting was bloody. Rage and Torian cut a bloody swath into the EH’ers until Rage was blasted by a death spell and Torian was overpowered by Sir Forest and one of his guards. Many of the other assassins were falling or wounded as well, but not a sound escaped their lips. Then from out of the night a dagger struck Sir Forest in the back and he fell wounded. The EH army paused to protect their wounded general and the surviving assassins faded back into the darkness from which they had come.
As for Chaos, well that slippery old barbarian and his followers were no where to be found.
