The fighters for truth have set up their fortress deep in the jungle of Tacticiana. When the next wave of attacks come, they will be ready. With their snipers in the forest and the dangerous golem in the trees, their base is nearly impenetrable. The dark army of old is amassing his power again. Soon he will be able to take over this peaceful area. The enemy dressed in black is soon to show its force to the world of Tacticiana. Situated only a few spaces outside of their forest. The enterence into the forest shall be shown in the next installment of The Battle for TAO. Coming soon...

But here, is the white side's jungle fortress.

I was actually hoping that this thread would be about my story and the ensuing battle scene which will come soon.

(I just had the BW barrier themselves)

Well, A) School is rapidly taking over any time I have ever had and B) My computer will no longer load up TAO and I can't waste time on it. My problem has now been officialy declared insolvable so, I am not complaining anymore. I shall be the official Post Whore!!!!

I think that in the beginning you should start with a scout from the army that is approaching that will draw away the Furgon guards. Then some really good assassin will sneak in and become one of three main characters: The assassin, the general of the base, and the general of the army. If you ever feel like you need help with the story just ask. I will be happy to try.

Man, it sounds to me like you guys need a role playing board or thread like we've got over on the Slayer Forums, and on taoforums.com
I am an avid rp'er, and I spend much of my time writing fantasy/fiction at these two places. They are here: Slayer's Guild RP (http://n00bslayers.proboards26.com/index.cgi?board=roleplay)
And Here: Legends Server Forums (http://www.taoforums.com)

Perhaps if you all like what you see you might start an Rp board here eh?

I am kind of aiming to create such a thing here. An adventure thread or something similar to one.

A fog began to settle upon the forest, just as the fog surrounding the minds of the slaves began to dissapate. Each man grew unsure of his surroundings, none had memory of the path that had brought them to the edge of this great forest.

A single figure among them seemed sure of her surroundings. She passed among the troops, gently caressing each with her hand. Their minds filled with images of battle, and the carnal rewards of victory, the rewards of obedience. Grips tightened around their swords, bowstrings grew taunt, the eyes of each man stared deep into the woods. They were ready.

"Prepare my Sisters, the time is at hand."

Her sisters were already prepared, each having called forth a minion of mud, stone or frost. Each of them ready to rend the forest to sunders with their dark magics.

She walked slowly to her winged mount, to check upon his spell of binding. All was ready, the time of vengence was at hand.

You guys should pm Bills and the other mods until you get your own board. Having this on the general board means you'll get a whole lot of A) Spam,
B) Non-topic conversation, and C) Your thread will constantly be at the bottom because other people will be posting in here. If you want a board, you need to fight for it. I'll send the first batch of pm's off, but all of you that want this, need to join me in requesting it.
