Jona lifted his signature axe out of the backside of the last foe he had slain. Axe heavy in hand, he stood up caked in sweat and the blood of his enemies. He looked around, and saw that there were no others to stand before him, for which he was thankful. Astralis had put up a good fight, the day's battle hard-fought indeed. He walked about until he stumbled upon the majority of his troops. Being the field marshal for this particular fight, Jona didn't know whether or not a speech was expected of him. When he saw the awaiting glances, he knew he better go for it. Ever the man for eloquent speeches, he figured he would detail the events of the great battle; how although they were facing unfavorable odds they still managed to triumph due to the might of their great marksmen and commanders, how the outcome of the battle could not be known until the very end, how the suspense was almost too much to bear. Yes, this speech would indeed be a memorable one. He let out a sigh of exhaustion, and cleared his throat to speak. He looked around, looking each of his men in the eye and nodding his approval to each. They did well this day, and deserved to at least hear some inspiring words before they went their own separate ways. As he was getting ready to speak, his hands seemed to get even sweatier than before, his grip on his axe tightening. The men continued to stare at him expectantly. Alas, he spoke.
"Well shit, we won."
And with that, he turned and walked away in shame, wishing he wasn't so damn socially awkward.
I gotta say that this war against Black Company and Wards of Mithrim was by far the least irritating, anger inducing war we've ever fought. It was a lot of fun frankly, good job to everyone involved.
Right back at you. While no one necessarily wanted to be fighting you guys, it was definitely fun. The lack of shit talking and trolling was a breath of fresh air and very welcome.
Astralis is far from gone, we'll be around. And when we decide to make a move again, the proud people of crpg can anticipate some fun fights - there will be war!
Glad to hear it, we definitely wouldn't want to see you guys go! You Astralis guys are an honorable clan, and honorable enemies as well (which is unfortunately pretty rare in strat). 10/10 would do battle with again (though would prefer not to :P).
