Europa's Inu Thread *may contain spoilers*

Lady Flame (DrR) · 20th August 2006, 04:29 AM

Thankyou for the imforming me, this is indeed bad news but it seems they have learned from the Orcs of the despise invasion, that of returning. Last night there was one last spawn left at Skara that we kept having to remove. Although it took longer and longer to return each time we took it out. Perhaps if we clear it back to there once more, and man that point we may be able to control this a bit more, whilst a solution to the Ophidian situation can be found. I enclose the map on how to liberate Vesper once more. I have seen that Bee Hive Island (the start point) has already been liberated, which should help prevent the Ophidians from continuing onto Serpent Hold, a commendable quick action and well done to everyone who helped to clear it.
This just leaves me to invite everyone to Brit Palace once again tonight at 7pm UK time. I will also get a map for Papua ready to aid us.

Did everyone forget you have to clear out the spawn in Fel also, or they will just keep sending them from there to aid the invasion in Tram?

Lady Flame (DrR) · 20th August 2006, 05:33 AM

Excellent NEWS Vesper is once again free. I hope for a bit longer this time. We pushed them back from both Bee Hive Island and then the Bank Island then we had Beserkers spawn all over Vesper, slowly and carefully we took Island after Island from the Beserkers and now we only have the last few at the Graveyard by the note, which seems to be constantly reinforced no matter what we do.
Onto South Papua. Rune to the South Papua in red rune book number 3 an top floor of the guards rest.

For a Small Fee, Dip and I can clear out Felucca for you. If it positively, absolutely has to be destroyed overnight, Dip and I can take care of it for you. "Have War, Will Travel."

News in from Stratics' Europa reporter

Source - http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/u...Number=6787159

Twas on the third dawning of a rising sun... a weary army holding thier heads high rode through the dead and depths of hell to achieve a victory that no other has ever accomplished to this date. We rode for Sosaria... We rode for life... and in the end we rode for each other. Never before in all my days have i seen such a group of people assemble for a unified purpose. Here is where my story begins my friends... In the halls of our king. Where we had met so many times before.

Lady Flame was there in the red of the Bloodguard, her blond hair reflecting the light of the surrounding sun. Lord Mord by her side, ever noticed with his white wizard hat, and Fear... A mysterious man of the dark arts of magic. A call of a trumpet was heard echoing through the castle announcing the arrival of our army.

In marched the soldiers i had seen so many times before. Trevelyan, SpyderByte, Arak, Clara, Morgana, Hunter, and more then I can even begin to mention in this story. I stood behind Lady Flame watching the gathering soldiers and thinking if we can actually do this... The battle of Vesper... *shiver* I still remember the screams of falling warriors as the Ophidian reinforcements continued to replenish thier ranks at the inn. Today was to be our day of fate. We would succeed or die trying... there was no other option.

Standing before her fellow sosarians Flame glanced around slowly. Despite the fear showing in her eyes her face was strong and resolute. With a deep breath she began to address those who came to the call...

You all know why you have come. So i do not feel that i will waste words or time with noble words or sentances. No words... no speeches... shall ever echo as loudly as your deeds which you... you brave and noble people have come to do. Tonight is THE night we charge into the abyss! Tonight is the night we take our land's enemy and return it to the place it came! Tonight... We Free Sosaria!

With those small words the crowd cheered and Lord Mord wove a moongate to Southern Papua... Where our battle took form.

We entered Papua in an orderly fashion. Our horses trod softly as if knowing that surprise would be of great benefit to us. Men softly ran through the woods and mud pausing as we crested a hill to view the assembled army below us. An Ophidian General sat hissing at his warriors. Then with hardly a glance he turned to slay a poor soul of Papua as he pleeded for his life. Shakily i admit i remembered to breathe. Slowly Lady Flame drew her sword out and rose on the mound... she needed to not say a word as we rushed forward... our fear forgotten. Our quest for revenge renewed. Fire burned through our blood at the sight of these immoral creatures. It was with THIER blood we shall wash the soil of Papua. It was with hardly a glance the General looked up to witness his own doom. With our numbers we were a flood of horse and metal. Unstoppable we waged war without remorse. Today there would be no mercy. No quarter would be spared for these snakes. Not on this day...

Bravely we fought without regard for our own safety or the safety of our mounts. The battle raged until the Ophidians were pushed from the docks... We fought hard and cleared them from the Inn... No where in Papua were they permitted to live. Men and Women together charged into masses of warriors. A truely awe inspiring event that as i think on it brings a tear to my eye. Never have i seen such bravery...

Finally though we reached a point where we were stuck... a point where the Invaders kept coming back. In rage we fought on forcing them East... West... North... in an effort to discover from the direction they are coming. Suddenly on a hill someone noticed our Commander! He came! From our despair of not being able to force a defeat we began to have hope. With the fading light glinting off his armor Jurrel raised his sword in salute of us below and bid us to fight on and never give up. What a sight met my eyes. Warriors who were tired... bleeding... and on the verge of defeat at the site of our commander saluting... not a lord... but US... the people... they had renewed life and vigor. Onward we fought and we won! When the last Ophidian fell Lady Flame ordered the Army to the bank where a picture for all time was taken...

The Defenders of Papua Ophidian Invasion

This night though we did not just defeat the Invasion of Sosaria. We delivered a messege to these snakes. As our forces slowly marched North towards the Ophidian HQ. There we slaughtered the gathered forces. Entering there HQ Building and Tents allowing nothing to remain. Still not done though Lady Flame announced to assemble upstairs and the army advanced to Terathanon Keep. The fighting continued as we destroyed anything with a tail. This was our messege to the Ophidians. Let them learn it well.

Lady Flame (DrR) · 22nd August 2006, 01:36 PM

Once again the Ophidians take our Cities, so once again we need to push them back from whence they came.

On Thursday 24th August
At 7pm UK time
Castle British

We meet again to show these Snakes that there is no place for them in our homes. As before any that are already fighting them please continue to do so, many have seen your courageous acts. For the rest of Sosaria be you farmer, baker, warrior, mage, tamer etc you are all needed for a united attack on the above date.

Light gives us some vital information here in this report

On this raining, horrid day i sat alone in the office of the commander. Reading reports... taking notes and studying maps of the Ophidian Invasion. It was heavy on my mind... noticing it was getting dark i waved my hand lighting numerous candles in the room. I confess to you my friends that i was very perplexed. How was i too give advice this time. I sat wondering about the fracture between the facets... The debates between the blues and the reds. Setting down my pen and ink i reach up and massage my temples. The headaches... they seem to come more frequently now... I know not what is causing them it doesnt not appear to be a common afliction to us elves...

Out of the corner of my eye i notice a shape ghost past the window and sit up a bit straighter... my hand involuntarily reaching into my robes to take hold of my spell book. I hear soft steps coming towards the meeting room door and ease back into my chair... after all, snakes dont walk do they. The door opens inward and to my surprise an out of breath Petra Fyda stands before me. Before i can say anthing she stumbles into the room. Her violet armor dark and wet. Seemingly without energy she pushes a parchment into my hands and collapses onto a chair. Worried i began to cast complex healing spells of magic but she appears unhurt... breathless she finally manages to tell me to read the parchment...

Slowly and carefully i unroll the sheet... and read it...
my hands shaking in the candlelight for this is the news we have needed to hear for a long time...

(inside the parchment was a small scribed section that i will relay to my friends here. It appears to be a conversation between dr... something the rain has ran the ink; and Petra)

...The invasions of Trammel and of Fel are NOT interdependant. Though we DID have to stop the ophidians from using the moongates...

(again the rest of the note is far to smeared for me to read)

In awe i raise my head to Petra and with a smile pour a glass of elven wine and push it into her hand. This information is something we all needed to hear yet doesnt change that Ophidians still are in our cities... The bloodguard is calling out to you all to clear trammel. Soon we will also be trying to clear Fel cities as well. These snakes will recieve no mercy and no quarter for their invasion of OUR lands.

Lady Flame (DrR) · 24th August 2006, 09:18 AM

Thankyou Tabbitha, that is some really good news, well for us perhaps not for our two getting rich fast mercenaries on here.

We will once again be clearing Sosaria of this evening, maating at Castle British at 7pm UK time, all help welcomed.

Lady Flame

**DiP** · 25th August 2006, 05:41 AM

I spent all that time killing Berserkers in Fel and it didn't even help the cause in Tram...

I was hoping it'd clear out some areas in Tram to get more into Fel.

**Maddux** · 25th August 2006, 05:57 AM

And I thought we were using Ophidians as bait, to get more ppl to Feluccia.

**Tabbitha** · 26th August 2006, 09:28 AM

After a long time of thinking, I finally worked out how to get past. If you want to know, check this thread where I was beaten to the posting by Gildar (Who I was talking through it with at the time of discovery!)

A forewarning:

- To get past the flames you need to say an incantation (See above, or ICQ/PM/whatever me). A clue: Translate the runes on uo.com (Let Fate Guide Companions) then translate the translation into a spell incantation (it doesnt exist, but if you dig around, youll work out what it needs to be).

- ONLY MAGES CAN SAY THIS But anyone can try. Once the barrier is down, you have a few seconds to get past.

- Beware! There is no way out if you are dead. I currently have my mage stuck between two fields, and a dead mage cant cast this spell.

**SPOILER**

- The blackrock pillar will spawn berserkers as you kill it, be warned!

As with Yrigor, I am alone at the time of this discovery so it may well be that by the time I am up it is all over. Someone PLEASE get pics if it is, and tell me what happens!! It was frustrating figuring it out, but even moreso killing that think (or trying to)!

Good luck! If anyone wants to orgaise a hunt tomorrow to kill it *hint hint Flame!* then please do so in a more evening time this time!!

Draconi UO Designer

As of about 9am its dead in Trammel! Took a good few hours and 6 people (3 archers, a tamer, a bard and a mage). Look for a writeup soon!

Fast work indeed, as only could be expected by such a strong group of people. We commend Europa for its steadfastness in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds; you met fate straight on, and won.

**Tabbitha** · 30th August 2006, 06:12 AM

source taken from a report on UO.Europa

At last nights auction,tragic events unfolded as the lands most famous collector of rare items was slain by an infamous hooded man.

The tragedy began as Elendrik appeared with a grave warning

Elendrik: For the love of Draconi! Don't sell the Blackrock!

Hemisphere: eh?

Elendrik then did his usual ' vanishing in flames trick '.

Deciding to ignore the interruption,Hemi continued to try and sell the blackrock.

Hemisphere: that's a bit of a pickle considering the blackrock is coming in one more lot, however I vote we ignore his advice!
...
Lucy of Kenton: is this the blackrock Trev got?
...
Hemisphere: it's a piece of blackrock, no not Trev's blackrock it's one of mine

Dinozzo: Dino 20 mill

Vix: vix 22m

Dinozzo: Dino 30

Suddenly the proceedings were interrupted again,this time by a sinister looking hooded figure.

a hooded figure: Insolent wretch!

Hemisphere: what!?

a hooded figure: You honestly believed that I would let the blackrock fall into the hands of the unwashed masses?

Hemisphere: erm?

a hooded figure: You clearly have no idea what you're dealing with here, Hemisphere

Hemisphere: ehm..

a hooded figure: My name is no concern of yours, but know this before you die. The Followers of Armageddon shall rise again!..... Vas Flam - Fireball

Trevelyan: shouted "sorted" as Hemi fell to the floor

a hooded figure: I'd almost like to say it was a tragic waste of a life... but, well.. it wasn't. I think you'll all agree the man was scum!

Trevelyan: Aye!

a hooded figure: You're probably wondering why I'm here, so perhaps a quick introduction is in order Some of you may know the Followers of Armageddon of old.
Our history is both deep and complex, but we strive one thing... The knowledge and resources to cast the ultimate spell: Armageddon!
Alas, our plan was doomed to failure... It has been many a moon since our ranks last walked the lands of Britannia
However, the greed of one of your fellows turned out to be my fortune When a certain young lad named Trevelyan gathered not one, but 22 pieces of the precious blackrock
I'm sure he thought himself quite the champion, parading around with his rocks on display for all to see
However, slowly, the dark material corrupted both his body and his mind
Though the Followers were defeated, their spirit lived on, trapped deep within each piece of the roc
The rocks began to possess him, and before long he could think of nothing else. They became his mast.Trevelyan built a shrine to his new Gods, laying the pieces in formation around a pentagram.
He began to speak, knowing not what he said, but only that he had to say it.
It was then, that I was summoned into the world.
Ah, I nearly forgot...
*rummages around in Hemisphere's corpse and removes the blackrock*
...
a hooded figure: 23...
...
Trevelyan: Raw!

a hooded figure: Now... since we're all here.Seems to me like a good oppurtunity for a little charity of my own *Rummages a little more in Hemisphere's corpse*

Trevelyan: my blackrock now

a hooded figure: Not a bad little cloak. I'm not even going to ask what those stains are... You may start the bidding

The hooded figure,standing in fornt of a marble table,took over the auction,and began to auction off some items

The figure then did something Hemisphere never would do!

a hooded figure: *Hits the hammer on the table*

Furi Noz: dont hitz the hammer toooo hard or u break that table!

a hooded figure: *Hits the hammer on the table*: Next a blessed half apron made by the late Hemi

Trevelyan: Hes dead now, worth more

Much later Hemi returned from far outside and took his way upstairs

a hooded figure: Yes, do we have more Trev my Minion

Trevelyan: ah ha o

Hemisphere: Geez

"Oh Look Who's back!" ,said the hooded figure," Vas Flam - Fireball What do you want!? ....Well??"

Hemisphere: what's the meaning of all this? you come along to my auction you kill me and now what...you're selling my belongings?

a hooded figure: Well, in your abcence I took the libery of raise some funds for my over course

Hemisphere: not to mention the blackrock

a hooded figure: Gathering Blackrock for Armageddo! You have served me well though...... I have what I need So I bid you farewell

Trevelyan: sir

a hooded figure: I shall return though!! Be ready for Armageddo!!

With that the hooded figure left

Hemisphere: sorry about that interruption guys I'm afraid it'll have to be it the blackrock was going to be the last item.I'm not sure what happened to that to be honest

So the auction was brought to an abrupt halt.

I am sure there will be many more reports regarding this incident and the perils of owning Blackrock.

*watch this space*

Trevelyan: Raw! a hooded figure: Now... since we're all here.Seems to me like a good oppurtunity for a little charity of my own Rummages a little more in Hemisphere's corpse Trevelyan: my blackrock now a hooded figure: Not a bad little cloak. I'm not even going to ask what those stains are... You may start the bidding The hooded figure,standing in fornt of a marble table,took over the auction,and began to auction off some items The figure then did something Hemisphere never would do! a hooded figure: Hits the hammer on the table Furi Noz: dont hitz the hammer toooo hard or u break that table! a hooded figure: Hits the hammer on the table: Next a blessed half apron made by the late Hemi Trevelyan: Hes dead now, worth more Much later Hemi returned from far outside and took his way upstairs a hooded figure: Yes, do we have more Trev my Minion Trevelyan: ah ha o Hemisphere: Geez "Oh Look Who's back!" ,said the hooded figure," Vas Flam - Fireball What do you want!? ....Well??" Hemisphere: what's the meaning of all this? you come along to my auction you kill me and now what...you're selling my belongings? a hooded figure: Well, in your abcence I took the libery of raise some funds for my over course Hemisphere: not to mention the blackrock a hooded figure: Gathering Blackrock for Armageddo! You have served me well though...... I have what I need So I bid you farewell Trevelyan: sir a hooded figure: I shall return though!! Be ready for Armageddo!! With that the hooded figure left Hemisphere: sorry about that interruption guys I'm afraid it'll have to be it the blackrock was going to be the last item.I'm not sure what happened to that to be honest So the auction was brought to an abrupt halt. I am sure there will be many more reports regarding this incident and the perils of owning Blackrock. watch this space __________________
