So you and your friends have found an internal bug in Vista which is not documented ANYWHERE else online? Wow.

Have you told Microsoft what this bug is, how you trigger it, et cetera?

Silvar

Caught unaware, the Imperial watch was slaughtered almost instantly by the barrage of arrows and rocks that flew from the city walls. Slowly, as the the a horn was blown to awaken the remaining Imperial soldiers, they began milling out of their barracks, grabbing arms. It was only when they were outside, in the clear night sky that they saw the sheer numbers against them.

Unwin looked around, as still more arrows flew into the city. There was no way out, but he sure as hell wasn't going to go down without taking out a few Hunters with him. He held back his men, until the arrows stopped and the invading army began it's march into the city. As the first Hunter troops entered the gates, he shot forward, followed by the rest of the Imperials. As spells flew from the priests, and arrows shot forward into the column of Hunters, Unwin drew his sword and charged, determined to make them pay before the banner was torn down from City Hall.

New Sumar

Meineke strolled through the singed crops and blasted corpses. The village had not stood a chance, and the "battle" was over in minutes. As the shade had descended, the villagers had locked themselves inside, hoping to hide from it. And, it had worked. Whilst the soldiers fell before it's scythe, it was the balls of fire that had done for the villagers, burning them in their own homes. The breadbasket of the New Empire was nothing more than cinders.

Pergies

An earth-shattering thud resounded around the mountains, and a cloud of dust rose to the heavens. Caught unawares, the miners had suffered many losses, but these folks were hardened to live underground, and weren't going to wait to be slaughtered. Whilst several of them took their picks to the Hunter soldier's skulls in the main cavern, a small group collected the tiny amount of explosives residing in the mine. Setting it up around the entrance, they lit the fuse, preventing anybody else getting in. Or out. They ran forward, eager to die at the hands of the Hunters rather than die of hunger like their attackers.

The city of Pergies didn't fall so quickly. Despite the heavier fire-power of the fleet, the city had a large force of soldiers and weaponry of it's own. Despite being surprised by the attack, the city watch fought back with vigour. Broken bits of masonry were flung back at the ships from the one catapult that the city had. The few battle magi in the city threw fireballs at the attackers, and the villagers were evacuated into the mountains through tunnels dug out centuries ago for this purpose. The tunnels led away to the west, where the villagers could regroup and head south to Delan.

As the last of the villagers left, the tunnels were sealed, and the remaining population prepared for the ground attack, determined to hold their ground...

Perrin

The city burnt. It had only been a farming town, and there was no great military presence there. After most of the farming had been moved north to New Sumar, it became a primarily residential town, and it was only townspeople that were slaughtered by the Hunters. Within the hour, the city had fallen, it's flimsy stone wall breached and it's buildings gutted.

Delis

The attack on Delis was the least successful of all the attacks. Whilst it was no fortress city, like Delan, it was still a city that had stood the tests of time, and grown stronger for that.

As the spells and rocks, arrows and bolts flew into the city, Imperial mages began retaliating, firing bolts of fire at the fleets sails. The wooden fleet would not last long under this sort of retaliation.

Delan

Gathin knew nothing of the attacks. A sour expression played across his face as he marched to Barleycorn's room. Barging in, he began accusing the visiting delegate of the murder of Clarice.

Bemused, the Hunter defended himself, stating that bandits were rife in Krizsan at the moment.

"Well, I have no evidence to suggest that bandits are active in an area so close to the Sanctuary, and so I have nobody to blame but Hunter forces. And until somebody else comes forward, I am holding you responsible, Hunter. You will await your punishment in the town's dungeon."

He signalled for the two soldiers outside Barleycorn's door to bind and restrain him. As he was led away, Gathin sighed and sank into a nearby chair. It looked as if war with the Hunters was inevitable...

Aminro

Sarrin finally reached the gates of the Sanctuary city. Dismounting from her horse, she strode forward, ready to deliver her letter...

I checked, and it was tiny, too. To be honest, I'd assume it would be scaled automatically. I just rathergleefully didn't tell anybody that it wasn't.

FYT. Although I'm actually not sure which way is funnier, really. Maybe both for completeness?


Definitely both. I tend not to draw on my hand these days, and just write notes to myself. I'll take a snap later.

It has nothing to do with money. Within a competition, scenarios of hugher quality are likely to be produced, since everybody wants to win.

And, with all respect, when you "write a little story" based off "some knockoff programming language", you can criticise. If there's one thing Blades needs right now, it's not cheap shots.

It's a day late, and I'm sorry :( ...

Anyway. I'd like everybody to join me in wishing Nico a happy 16th birthday for yesterday. Lots of love, and hugs, and cookies. :)

(I just checked the archives, and it turns out that your last thread was a day late too, so yay for tradition!)

It works fine. The only problem you may have is switching between the graphics, but if you want you don't have to do that.

And enjoy the scenario. It's pretty good for a Mike Slack scenario. :P
