Taking on the DAIII forum? That'd be a handful. Not the craziest thing you could though, lol

Chapter Index, Introduction and BSN Party Member Profiles.

Recap:

The group of Fast Jimmy, Johnnie Walker, Celrath, Kallianira, KloieKat and Billy the Squid meet up with BioWare Social Network rebel leader, Allan Schumacher. On the behalf of Stanley Woo, the party have come to aid the rebel against the tyrannical reign of Queen Jessica Merizan.

After pledging themselves to the cause, the party carries out it's first mission and secures a supply line for Allan and the rebels. They take out Merizan's loyal forces in the Dragon Age: Origins subforums and establish a base of operations there.

After pushing back a counterattack from Merizan's loyalists in the Off-Topic Zone, the team move forward to their next target - the prized Dragon Age 3 forums. It's close proximity to Dragon Age: Origins and it's large population base makes it a perfect location for the team.

Chapter 10:


Image IPB

Image IPB: Ugh. This is going to be a tough battle.

Image IPB: Good thing we were able to rest up for a few hours and scout out the area. Thanks for not letting me die, by the way. I appreciate that. I like living.

Image IPB: There are a lot of them but it's 4am. They'll be completely off-guard.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Follow me, everyone. I'm good at sneaking and night operations. xP

Image IPB

The team skulk along the Dragon Age 3 subforum outskirts, taking out any unfortunate guards in their path.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB: Whoa, that one was behind us! Where all these guys coming from? Are we getting tracked with a GPS or something?

Image IPB: Don't exaggerate, there's just a high concentration of them in the area. I'd stay sharp though, they might be onto us now that we've already started shooting sh*t up.

Image IPB: Quiet, I hear something. Maybe footste-

Image IPB

Image IPB: Ow!

Image IPB: Kloie, you okay...?

Image IPB: Yeah, just grazed me...

Image IPB: This isn't good, guys. Our position's been compromised. They're going to be coming in from all angles now!

It seems like the team's attempt at stealth was not so successful. Jimmy orders the team to hunker down. In the middle of the night, careless movement could get them killed.

They do exactly that, and begin to engage the loyalists fumbling around in the darkness.

Image IPB

Image IPB

It was quickly becoming like a deadly game of whack-a-mole. Even as they shot loyalists down, others would instantly appear and take their place.

Image IPB

Luckily for Billy, the combination of poor aim and poor visibility save his hide. However, the momentum of the battle was shifting away from the team. No one was seriously injured yet, but they were beginning to get overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Merizan's loyalists.

Celrath, recognizing this, attempts to shift the balance back into the team's favour and stall the loyalist advance, even if only for a short while.

Image IPB

They aren't stalled for long though, and continue peppering the team's position. This time, Kallia is the one who gets grazed by a passing bullet.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Argh, crapsticks...

Image IPB

Image IPB: This is messed up man... if we get through this in one piece, you're buying me some goddamn rocket grenades, Jimmy boy.

Image IPB: Get down, everyone!

Image IPB

The loyalists continue to hammer the team's positions and spray them with metal pellets of death. One of the bullets ricochets off a nearby tree and hits Kloie directly in the chest.

Image IPB: Kloie...!

Image IPB: I'm... I'm okay. Kevlar is useful... for once...

With Kloie a bit winded, but otherwise unharmed, the team breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Image IPB: Are they ever going to stop shooting at us?!

Image IPB: Yes, they will. The disorganized and staggered shooting patterns means that we will find small gaps of a few seconds to counterattack while they're reloading.

Image IPB: Good, these guys are pissing me off.

Like clockwork, Celrath's theory is proven correct as several of Merizan's loyalists stop to reload their emptied clips.

Image IPB: Okay, now!!

Emerging from the cover of trees and shrubs, the team move out into the open and begin picking off loyalists in a flurry - the loyalists had to be taken out quickly before they force the team to hide behind cover again.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB: Take that, bastard!

Image IPB: Wow! That looked... painful.

Image IPB: Haha, is that a professional medical diagnosis?

They only had a few seconds, but a few seconds was all it took. The brief gap in the loyalists' fierce attack had allowed the team to completely decimate them.

As the bodies of Merizan's loyalists littered the vicinity, the team reloads their weapons and their mental states as Jimmy reminds them of the fact that there were still more out there.

Image IPB

Image IPB: C'mon, that should've been all of them, Jimmy!

Image IPB: No, they would've had some men as reserves, Kloie. Not smart to commit everyone to the battle at once. If we're lucky, they'll be spread out and scared sh*tless.

Image IPB: And if we're not lucky?

Image IPB: Then there will be a big group of them hunkered down in a really well defended position.

Image IPB: Hey, if you ladies are done chatting the night away, you might wanna keep up with Billy and me.

Image IPB

The team tries a sneakier approach, attempting to creep up on a nearby shed. If the team could safely take control of the shed, they could split up and conduct a sweep of the surrounding area using the shed as a base point.

As they get closer to the large wooden structure however, they realize that the remaining loyalists had the exact same idea.

Image IPB

One loyalist goes down to Billy's precision shooting. The other one, a Sergeant, to their surprise, runs off into the night, limbs flailing wildly.

Image IPB: Hmm. Guess I was right. He is scared sh*tless. He won't run far though, those trees and the shed itself provide a lot of protection.

Image IPB: So, we flank him then.

Image IPB: Okay, so we go around the shed in a counter clockwise movement... then follow the smell of crapped pants back to it's source. Right?

Jimmy nods and takes the lead. They sneak around the shed and when they wheel around, find that the cowardly Sgt. did not take refuge there.

Image IPB

Jimmy soon finds the last remaining loyalist, huddled up against a tree. Strangely enough, the man had lit a flare. Perhaps the Sgt. was looking for help, but it only made him easier to spot.

Jimmy puts the loyalist out of his misery.

Image IPB

Image IPB

The team breathes their second collective sigh of relief for the night. They got lucky. Had they been pinned down in the middle of the day, they might not have survived.

They go inside the shed and find a few beds and a couple of planks that could be used for beds. Kallia stays up for a few hours and treats everyone's wounds, scrapes and bruises. But it isn't long until she too falls under the spell of the sandman and along with the others, takes a long and well deserved rest.

After all, they may have won a tough battle against Merizan's loyalists, but this was only the beginning and their victory was in the outskirts of the Dragon Age 3 subforum. They would need every minute of rest they could get to match it with Merizan's loyalists in the heartland of the Dragon Age 3 subforums.

Oh crusty dis one is gold, tbh.

Just a few suggestions

How about a more closer look at dem loyalists? A 'good' antagonist should make a better playthrough experience.
And I thought the team needs some dingin. Means a lvl up for all. Oh and maybe some disabilities, with all the shoorin dem took.

But maybe dats just me.

After pledging themselves to the cause, the party carries out it's first mission and secures a supply line for Allan and the rebels. They take out Merizan's loyal forces in the Dragon Age: Origins subforums and establish a base of operations there.

After pushing back a counterattack from Merizan's loyalists in the Off-Topic Zone, the team launch a daring night raid on the outskirts of the Dragon Age 3 forums and capture territory from where they could stage further incursions.

Chapter 11:


Image IPB: Take five, everyone, and well done! We're all a bit banged up, but Merizan's loyalists won't be coming to take this area back for a while. Kallia, make sure everyone is patched up. We'll have a good rest first and head out tomorrow afternoon.

Image IPB: Wait, wait, wait. First thing's first, Dear Leader. Where's my goddamn rocket grenades?

Image IPB: Huh?

Image IPB: You said if we lived through this, I'd be getting rocket grenades.

Image IPB: Actually you said that, Vette. Not Jimmy.

Image IPB: No, YOUR M-

Image IPB: My mother is ambivalent on the issue of rocket grenades.

Image IPB: D:<

Image IPB: Heh. Don't worry, I got you covered. We need some other types of ammunition, as well as some knee pads and shin guards. So I'll roll it up into one order. Lifted the wallet of one of the loyalists, so I got the dough to pay for it.

Image IPB: Sweeeeeeeet!

Image IPB

Image IPB: Wow, must be a pretty fat wallet you lifted then, Jimmy.

Kallia works late into the night and early in the morning, ensuring that everyone would be ready to go when given the order. Admiring her tireless efforts, Jimmy prolongs the team's recuperation time in order for Kallia rest as well.

Image IPB

As the others in the team continue their naps, Celrath gets up and begins to check up on everyone's equipment, making small repairs and adjustments when necessary.

He receives an email about an enemy attack of the Off-Topic Zone once again, but after frantically scanning the email for a report, he sighs and returns back to more pressing duties.

Image IPB

Looks like Allan Schumacher's rebel forces could finally take care of themselves, now that the team had secured them a supply line.

Image IPB

In the middle of the afternoon, Jimmy orders the team to roll out.

Image IPB

Image IPB: There won't be a lot of troops here. So, we'll split into two groups and take them out quickly. Kallia, Billy and Celrath, you guys head West while Kloie, Vette and I will move East. Sweep each house and eliminate all hostiles. Got it?

Image IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPB: Got it.

It isn't long until Jimmy and his group encounter hostile loyalists. Luckily for Kloie, the last group of loyalists had a fancy toy worth keeping. The Steyr Scout Tactical Sniper Rifle was an upgrade on the antiquated WWII Russian Bolt Action Sniper Rifle.

Image IPB

Image IPB

A significant upgrade.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Billy, Kallia and Celrath use the ensuing firefight as an opportunity to storm one of the houses in the area. From there, they could survey the area and defend themselves quite well.

Image IPB

Jimmy, Kloie and Vette soon follow suit.

Image IPB

As they move into position inside the house, Celrath quickly spots loyalists converging on the western edge of the area.

Image IPB

Billy spots more. Many more.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

So much for "there won't be a lot of troops".

Image IPB: Guys, we really need some help here! We're going to get overrun.

Image IPB: We're coming, hold them off as long as you can.

Kallianira, Celrath and Billy hunker down by the house's kitchen sink and fire at the loyalists through the windows.

Image IPB

Meanwhile, Jimmy, Kloie and Vette were running and gunning as fast as they could to try reach and backup the others.

Image IPB

Billy begins suppressive fire, but more and more loyalists came out of the woodwork. Some seem to be leaving from a house in the area.

Image IPB

As Billy, Celrath and Kallia fired their guns relentlessly, loyalists were hit and taken out in the spray while others were seriously wounded. It seemingly bought the team some time, as the loyalists couldn't take the intense rain of bullets the trio was bearing down on them. They began to retreat to the protection of their safehouse.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB: Yes! They're falling back!

Image IPB: So we won?

Image IPB: No, I doubt it. There's still plenty of them left. They could probably bumrush us if they wanted, but decided to retreat instead... Keep your guard up, they might try and sneak ar-

Image IPB: SNIPER, GET DOWN!

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB: Holy sh*t! Thanks Kloie!

Image IPB: So that's why they retreated..

Image IPB: Luckily for you guys I'm the best sniper here xD

Image IPB: Yeah, we appreciate it Kloie! Thanks!

Image IPB: Okay guys, we're getting pretty close to your position. We can't see you yet, but we'll be reaching the house in a couple of minutes. Don't fire at us! We'll be coming from the North East.

Image IPBImage IPBImage IPB: Roger.

As the team prepares to rendezvous and push for a final assault on the loyalist safehouse, Celrath swears he heard a noise outside.

Image IPB: Check it out, okay? Might be a squirrel, but it also might be a loyalist sneaking up on us.

Image IPB

Celrath crouches down and and peaks out the window and back door. Nothing, no movement or sound. But he's insistent that he heard something.

Image IPB: I know I heard something.

As the seconds pass by, he sits and waits, just as Kallia and Billy sit and wait.

Jimmy's ragged voice on the radio breaks the tense silence.

Image IPB: Hey, I think I can see movement in front of the house, is that you guys running arou-

Image IPB: FVCK IT'S LOYALI-

Bang.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPB: KALLIA...!!

Kallia was expendable!

Now if this game is like 'Icewind Dale' put my character instead of her in the party. I'm an intelligent (+7), charismatic (+7) Sniper and know how to use long melee weapons. :ph34r:

What difficulty you playing at?

You seem to have a great start, the enemy seems incompetent (up untill now that is) and I don't see Dressden Coutnerattack enabled (maybe its' for the better).


Speakign of which...unlucky hadshot. Then again the team has been very lucky so far.

I should do my own version of blue steel! It'd make those loyalists run for the hills... Oh that could be a theme when I fight in this game. Iron Maiden's Run for the Hills. :P Haha

Playing on Experienced/Normal and I disabled the Drassen Counterattack. Also, it's not that the enemies are incompetent. I'm being just a little naughty and doing a bit of save scumming. Trying to cut down on it, but it's almost impossible to resist the ALT+S, ALT+L combination.

Still, I relax my save scumming for a while and this is what happens. Poor Kallia.
