Breaking the Siege of Blackhearth Keep

[AnkhOfYmph]

WOW!  Such an amazing adventure!  This totally blew my mind and is the reason I still play a decades old game over anything put out in the present.

DMs, players... my hats off to every one of you.

I tried to get some decent screenies, but during the action it often was just sort of... impossible.  I think I need a thing where it just captures screens and auto saves them with a number... if anyone knows how to do that let me know.

In the meantime:



Brief meeting with Madame Larue in the Kingsman before the battles.


The Hyrsicator warns the Duke not to go, the Duke tells him to piss off.


Duke Trenada names his General:  Infantryman Aishȇ Nafrémetit, First Honors - Commander of the Siegebreakers!


The First Circle of many


We are set upon by the hordes almost immediately!


The bigger they are, the smaller you feel.


The thing is, if it's the Sinister Two... where's the other one?!?


Approaching the Siege camp


Within, the forces of H'bala gather... to break the siege, we must explore below


Everything we killed so far?  Yeah, we gotta kill it again.


A Legend in Life... Otoroo was always a baller.


This actually made me very sad.  Elder Otoroo... how often did past PCs look to him for guidance... we'll miss you, bro!


Skipped past the Orc Commander killing part... that guy was nutz.  But yes, the siege is broken!  HUZZAH!!!


The vines... they call to me... must swing... from... vines... yes...

Hope nothing was spoilerish, I don't think so, given the DM shouts during... but as always DMs, feel free to edit!

And if anyone else got shots, let's see em!

[Arkantos]

Vines, lots of vines. Sorry I couldn't finish with you. Died midway...

[Nightshadow]

Stupid? That wouldn't be stupid? Link it! CURSE YOU SLEEP! I wanted to be there. :(

Awesome shots.

[Bearic]

Was really fun. =]

[LiAlH4]

Damn good event, I'm still kicking myself for having to leave midway through. Still, kudos to you Armada, Militia, Golden Alliance, and everyone else for badassing your way through. Great stuff!


From after the battle:

It was great... I was glad I got to take part just before work! Unfortunately didn't take screenies (one of those things I always forget to do), but again just wanted to say thanks and congrats to all involved.

I took a few screenshots also.

The Numinous Order mans the walls during the heavy siege...

Trenada's forces assemble to march and smash H'Bala's army...

One of the first of her many fearsome lieutenants is defeated...

A massive, many-hour battle against the dreaded undead....

Some familiar faces....

At last, the siege is broken. A great victory for the living!


Greater challenges await.

the vines were excellent

[Luke Danger]

It was long, it was tiring...

... and I loved every second of it.

[Takenbymadness]

Superb work to all involved. Amazing event. This is why EFU:A is better than modern video games. I think someone already said that though, so I'll just second the notion.

[Dash]

Amazing fun time! I didn't take any screenshots though. :(
