The First Defeat of the Harbingers
Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2004 3:47 pm
The Harbingers of Doom resurfaced in Majestic Gardens to commit further atrocities, this time the murder of a Matis woman, Riccia. He executed her in Yrkanis and then, in the nature of the Harbingers of Doom, ran off. It was Sorrowblade again, the same who was responsible for the death of the Tryker girl some time ago. He was tailed to the Matis Arena where his pursuant warriors made rather short work of him. His guild mate, Mournblade, the fiend responsible for the attack on Mynias, showed up presently to taunt the homins around Majestic Garden. He seemed to lose his level temper, however, and began to challenge the homins. After several minutes of talk, he disappeared and things went quiet.
After Mournblade went silent, the homins began to settle down and return to their normal routines. There was a wedding planned in Fairhaven of Tryker lands, and the homins began to suit up and head south to the portal to Tryker. Not long after the caravan left though, Mournblade returned to exact his revenge. He came with friends this time. Three other members came with him and began to execute the Green Seed tribesmen. They had cleared out the camp when they began to goad the homins publicly. Homins began to arrive at the camp one by one, daring not to challenge the four Harbingers. Before long, there was a group forming, and those present gathered courage from their numbers. There were countless duels in the overrun Green Seed encampment, but it seemed the Harbingers were unbeatable.
Recognizing that the individual strength of each Harbinger was greater than their own, the homins began to coax the villians towards the arena. Their numbers now ranked around 50, far more than they would need to destroy the small regiment of Harbingers. It took some convincing, but eventually the Harbingers agreed to head to the arena. When they arrived at the arena, there were already homins waiting. Their numbers steadily increasing. The unity of the homins present was clear when the Harbingers asked for 6 challengers to enter the arena and the lot of those present promptly walked in, leaving the Harbingers outside. This prompted more dueling while the Harbingers challenged the homins to give them a fair fight, but no matter how many homins fell, they were always healed right back up.
It took much time but finally the homins agreed to fight the Harbingers on their terms. The challengers entered the arena with the Harbingers close behind. The fight did not last long. Although the power of a single Harbinger is undeniable, their cooperative efforts were lacking. Once the first fell, the rest toppled under the organized force of the challengers. The Harbingers were silent in their defeat and after they all fell, they promptly vanished.
Mynias the Watcher, having recovered from the Harbingers' attempt on his life, was delighted to hear of the Homin victory. He had this to say:
'Homins, you have brought a great smile to my face. I always knew that if we homins would work together we could overcome any foe. You have proven this beyond doubt. But do not be too presumptuous, although this is a great victory over these Harbingers of Doom, I have since had a report of further activity, although I have no details, they are set back, but not defeated. Stay vigilant homins, and good work!"
