KEEPER RATTUS
Rattus the Reviler, the western-most Keeper in the Red Crystal Islands, watched the last of his vanguard struck down by Kuroki's pitiful defensive force. He was markedly unimpressed.
This is the best that you can muster against me, Kuroki? Already your creatures fall! Is this some trick? It won't work!
Deep menacing laughter echoed the halls of his dungeon.
"Destroy them, my minions! Drive these fools into the sea!’’
A foul horde began to spill out of the entrance to Rattus's dungeon... trolls and goblins - all baying for blood.
Behind the back of the pack, striding with the authority of decades of service, was the orc Priam. His scarred face was obscured from view by the visor of a thick Knight's helmet he had looted from the corpse of a slain foe three years earlier. Yet, despite his fiercesome appearance - looking every inch the perfect leader - he was only level 1 having only just entered the dungeon. Upon seeing the orc, Rattus had assigned him behind everyone else for the singular reason that he hoped it would distract the sniper that Kuroki had skulking around the back of his lines and free up everyone else to wreck more havoc. Priam didn't know this, of course... he just thought he'd been promoted.
Fool...
While he waited for his forces to advance, he eyed the progress of his imps in claiming.
The other half of his plan to counter the sniper involved an unassuming Level 5 Goblin who was actually amongst his longest serving minions. Electra had been the one to terminate Kuroki's scout down in the portal settlement. She was capable with a sword, but she also carried a hunting bow with a full quiver of barbed arrows... she was eager to kill again and amongst her fellows she blended in excellently. Also she wore sandals which made her even more deadily because stepping on sharp rocks wouldn't dig into her feet... or something.
ROOM RESEARCHED:
Casino
Rattus addressed his research staff, "Finally... I'm dying here of old age, you slackers. Get back to training... You are needed to bolster the attack if it fails.’’ The enemy Keeper spammed the Must Obey spell.
As his forces neared the edge of his domain he cast Protect on his pet orc and instructed his creatures to; "Charge!’’
KEEPER KUROKI
Kuroki tensed as Rattus's force of minions came spilling out of the fog-shrouded dungeon. It was not the sight he wanted to see, but very much the one he was expecting.
A voice from the battlefield nearer his dungeon intruded upon his thoughts.
"I suppose it doesn't matter, so long as we claim victory over Rattus... but is it truly over? These are nothing but low graded insects. Surely even that wicked Rattus can obtain stronger Creatures, and in larger numbers. Keeper Kuroki... are we being fooled?"
"It is far from over, Pope, as another greater force bares down upon us as we speak... Oliran, please block the end of the bridge... Goblins, stay at his side, cover his flanks and keep him safe... Zaral and Asifet, second line of defense - take out anyone who gets through and protect Annika and Chester in the middle, only aide the fore if it starts to get overwhelmed... Niea, stay where you are - deal out as much chaos as you can from the rear."
Keeper Kuroki placed down two Lightning Traps which left him 6,000 gold lighter in the pocket. He cast a weak Create Gold Spell to once more help to bolster his finances.
He additionally cast Speed on his two ranged creatures.
Good luck, Keeper.
Pewter the Imp had only barely got the two Lightning Traps in place when the enemy force thundered into sight of his creatures...
