( ah demon werewolves overrunning the cloud plane)
Now as we all know the plane next door to the cloud plane is seriously overpopulated
with demon vampire werewolves who have got too many
folk and far too little land
The cloud plane on the other hand has got a total of 33,000 sentient
beings for a land area a million times larger
then what the tens of millions of
demom vampire werewolves
had to put up with
Naturally enough cloud plane leaders
has set up evacuation plans
in case those hordes of werewolves
crossed over
but in the end it was
Issac who botched it.
He had slain two of the brothers
of a demon vampire werewolf named
Fenrir
and Fenrir had tracked his brothers
killer onto the cloud plane
where the werewolf
had quickly realized
the cloud plane was worth taking over
Down in the catacombs the first inkling
Nat and Sera the Witch had
that the Game Was Over
was when warning klaxons and red flashing crystal balls
started going off in the catacombs.
A disembodied voice began announcing
3000 kroon seconds to barbarian breach
2999 kronoseconds to barbarian horde breach
2998 kronoseconds to barbarian horde breach
and Gates all around the catacombs were flung open and
Guardians,their minions and what could be called
Groupies
came out and started charging down one tunnel to the left.
Not all Guardians were quite
that awe inspiring.
Out of one came 50 squawking chickens followed
by a kilt wearing anthro fox puffing away
"Amazing Grace" on bagpipes
made out of a sheeps stomach.
But they all headed down that tunnel
and ignored the various adventurers who were here to slay or defeat them.
Nats new pet "C" tugged at her to join the evacuation crowds
but a confused Nat just
stood there.
A Gate burst open and out on a rush of waaaaater came a Lurch
seated in a canoe
paddled by 16 wailing Indian maidens.
Sera the Witch gripped at the canoes sides as it passed by
and asked the Lurch what all the
hullabaloo
was about.
He replied that tens of millions of demon vampire werewolves
were popping through invasion portals
all over the cloud plane.
Since there were only
33,000 cloud plane folk to defend the cloud plane
the Sky King had pulled the evac lever
and everyone had a half
hour to get out or die.
Then the Lurch used one of its tentacles to slap
away Sera's hand and he and his 16 wailing
Indian maidens
headed down that tunnel.
By this point the Sky Kings fifth
son General Aeyrie had shown up in the catacombs
and was checking
to make sure no
Guardians or
adventurors stayed behind.
There was room for two thousand aboard the Intra Portal
Evacuation Shuttle he assured
Sera and a few confused sentient chickens still
hanging around.
Suddenly the last Gate
burst open and everyone
nearly got swept down the tunnels
as a fllod of sea water came out of it.
The front end of a ancient
Phoenician ship
crashed through and jammed partway
out of the Gateway.
99 Greek sailors and passengers
clambered onto the catacomb
floor via rope ladders
and a somewhat numb minded Nat
saw Chirp,still his cheerful
small air dragonet size
amongst them.
General Aeyrie quickly directed the babbling Greek sailors and any last holdouts such as Nat and Sera the Witch
towards the evacuation tunnel.
Aeyrie shouted one last time then strode along the opened Gateways to make
sure no Guardian of his had
been left behind for
the demon vampire werewolves
to capture.
Then he slammed shut the wooden door to the evacuation tunnel
and ran to join everyone else aboard
End-of-Days shuttle
