Inspired by a tale told long ago, I wish to bring you the next chapter detailing mankind's struggle to survive.

The year is 2015. The awakening of Dendar has caused all hell to break loose on the surface and unknown aberrant enemies of the Dread Army threaten to overrun the last bastion of mankind. It is up to the forces of the S.A.N.C.T.U.A.R.Y initiative, Lower Industries, and Wildling Co. to fight back.

We are the first (and last) line of defense. This is our story.[/B]

Impossible is fun but missions can get way too long and tedious with how many extra enemies you have to deal with


Ironman is a must. FD everyone always. Also selected in Second Wave: Not Created Equal, Hidden Potential, Angles


hmm aye. You can watch the cinematic here if you want.


First contact is a little boring and you can't customize soldiers before it, so we're just going to skip the details.


The first non-tutorial mission comes up, Operation Empty Spark. After the quest sending is made the following people show up in Freedom Square.


Abala Quickfeet uses Divine Power


Rare footage of Coppertop actually hitting something


Wow! Pretty easy so far. Abala got 3 kills, Coppertop got the last. Clerk Connley and Watcher Flint watched I guess.


Sanctuary recognizes Abala's efforts and promotes her to Prefect support


Clerk Connley was so impressed he even made a medal for her.




Huzzah!


Disclaimer: I'm just adding characters randomly as I see/think of them on EFUSL at the time of play.

THE HONORED FALLEN:

Clerk Aden Connley, killed by a rampaging fire elemental. Rest his soul.

I see you're using The Long War mod. It's pretty gangsta, though unfair sometimes.

Actually running vanilla EW here, though I really want to try Long War!

A quiet day in Sanctuary...


The Office of Construction continues to work hard expanding our borders when suddenly a strange sending comes over the system...


Something about a missing person in the in-between. Adventurers assemble to the square!


Blake kinda shows up later I guess. Don't question it. The party goes to investigate...


The group talks strategy and passes out potions among themselves.


Large pillars loom in the distance as the group trots down Sanctuary's stairs to the in-between...

[hide="Operation Red King"]


Enemies almost immediately! Clerk Connley opens fire...


Lord Falconer gets a pot shot off on the kobold as it retreats. The group can't help but wonder if it's a trap...


Abala chases after, only to have the kobold open fire! She gets injured as a result.


Jarik chases after and finishes it off. Whew.


Aden Connley uses Dissipating Unstable Purple Crystal


Refreshed, the group makes their way out, through fields of fire and lightning...


More kobolds!


They prepare for the incoming attack...






... Even getting a few shots off! Things are looking good until...


A fire elemental appears!


Abala throws down a potion of bless. So long as they're careful things should be alright, right?


welp


cool


COOL


Immune to Fear, Abala charges on...


... While Falconer gets blasted. Ouch.


Nearly dead, the Lord charges forward...


And throws a tanglefoot bag!


...


The event ends...

RIP Aden. The rest of the group walks away with a hefty amount of XP and gold and manages to save the missing person!


A new medal emerges from the House of Governance. Shame the Clerk is no longer alive to award it...
