"I have no coins on me." "Really, sir? Larn, go see if our new friend's lying." One of the men walks forward, and begins searching you. > You let him You stand there, as one of the men walks over and begins patting on your pockets. As the few coins you have left jingle, the man quickly draws a knife and stabs you t...
Once you've spent your gold coins, you make your way back to Dendar's cart. Unfortunately, you find yourself in the poorer part of town, clearly having taken a wrong turn. As you make your way through a side street, a voice cries out. "Hello! A little lost, are we?" A voice cries. You turn, and are faced with a tri...

After a long ride to Riverton with Dendar who mostly insults you and Gruzub, you eventually arrive at the small town. You eyes immediately find multiple ways to spend your precious coins. There's a brothel in the poorer section of town, a large shop full of delicious foods you wish to sample, a small gambling ring and ...
You arrive at a large building and take a deep breath, breathing in perfumes of foreign fruits and sweet incense. An elderly woman walks out, and smiles at you. "Ah, a patron. How may I help you, Sir?" "I'd imagine it's the same reason everyone comes here." You reply snidely. "Ah, of course. I'm sorry, you look l...

You go inside the gambling ring, where a large half-orc stands, leaning against the doorway. "Good evening, kind patron." He says in a dull, bored voice. "Would you care to see a fight? Five coins, make a bet." "What's the fight?" You ask, eagerly. "A Dragon Youngling, can barely spit fire, vs a trio of wolves we...

You walk into the Tavern, and drop five gold coins on the counter. "Barkeep. Get me a mug of your finest ale. No, get me however many mugs of my cheapest ale this can get." You're slid over several mugs of ale, which you begin drinking with glee. As you do, an old man sits down next to you wearing the Kingdom of Ma...
You smash your fist into the man's head, knocking him backwards. The man stumbles backwards, and you leap in, punching him twice more. > You leave the Tavern You turn to leave as the man stands again. As you walk, the man draws a sword and yells. You turn to confront him, but he stabs you through the chest, straight th...
You roll to the side, narrowly dodging a goring from the beast's tusks. As it runs past, you leap forward with your knife, cutting through thick fur and drawing a fair amount of blood. It squeals, before running forward and turning around once more for another charge. > You have Gruzub distract it "Gruzub! Distract th...
Paper-Mache By Jster02 > You start The pain is the first thing you notice. It feels as though someone's poured an entire vat of hot coffee over your entire body. Somehow, you get the sense that you've been asleep a lot longer than normal. You open your eyes to find yourself laying in a patch of grass, staring up at...
The next day, you begin the journey to the fortress, escorted by a few rebels, and Bolard himself. It takes several days to get there, and you get to pass by Arrorn on the way, so that's fun. (Though, you don't get to actually enter the village. Too much risk of being recognized or something). Finally, you spot ...
The next two weeks are a blur. You train for six hours a day, preparing for the big day. Before you know it, it's nearly arrived. The night before, you find another note on your pillow, this one a little longer than the last. "Enclosed is the note you must plant in the fortress," It reads, "I hope you've decided t...
What are you thinking? Of course you're going along with them! This rebellion kidnaps children, for crying out loud! There's no way they'd make good rulers. You finger the note in your pocket, your resolve slowly growing. Tomorrow, you get to leave this place forever. With that thought in mind, sleep comes easy.....
Your dreams are a confused mass of pictures and images. Lots of formulas and numbers, the strange disk you found in the woods, a violet light engulfing you... A whisper in your ear breaks you from your slumber. "Wake up, strange beast. I need to talk to you." You open your eyes so find that it's still dark. Th...
You drop into a crouch and creep closer, stopping behind trees whenever you can. Now that you're closer, you can make out more details, and boy are these people weird. They're even shorter up close, they'd probably only come up to your waist. But that's the least strange thing about them. They're skin resembles Pa...
The pain is the first thing you notice. It feels as though someone's poured an entire vat of hot coffee over your entire body. Somehow, you get the sense that you've been asleep a lot longer than normal. You open your eyes to find yourself laying in a patch of grass, staring up at a clear, starry sky, interrupted by ...
You sleep like a rock. It's been a very long day, that's for sure. You've hardly stopped since waking up in the forest last night. But of course, it doesn't last. You awake to Merk staring down at you, poking your side with his foot. "Wake up, human," he says, "It's time to go." You sit up, blinking back the...
You are at the bottom of a spiral staircase, leading up to the surface. Three, hard packed dirt tunnels branch off from here, each with a sign that tells where it leads. A notice board full of announcements hangs on one wall. You glance over it and notice one in particular reminding the whole facility of a mandatory...
You head down the tunnel, trying your best to tiptoe. The earthy ground helps muffle your footfalls, thank goodness, but it doesn't matter. There's no one in the tunnel. When you reach the end, you find yourself in a room made of wood. Shelves line the walls, filled to the brim, not only with books, but also with o...

It soon becomes apparent that you are closer to the village than you thought. Is it just you, or are those buildings smaller than they seemed from afar? You come to the edge of the village to find that the smallest of the houses are about your height. Everything is half the size it should be, from the road through t...
For the next few days, you continue on the path, surviving on nothing but the supplies left in your bag. You're almost out of Cheez-Its, so you'll have to find another village soon or you might starve. No one comes after you, probably because you took out their leader. No-one to give orders. Still, you move quickly...
"I'll be back for you all later," you say, as loud as you dare. There's an opening in the wall with a spiral staircase going up, so you head through it. At the top of the stairs is a wooden door. You can hear voices from the other side, probably guards. Quietly, you turn the handle and push it open. Two guards...
You reach the fortress at about noon the next day. It's really not much of a castle. Instead of stone, like you would expect, it's made completely out of wood, with a few rickety looking towers poking up from behind the wall. Once you're only about a hundred feet off from the moat, Kralmer stops you. "Send my famil...
You rush up to the bars of the nearest cage to you. In that moment, you decide that there's no way you're leaving anyone behind. If you're taking one, you're taking them all. "I'm here to save you." You say in a low voice, "all of you." "What... are you?" Asks the Oalkwardner in the cage, inching backwards. ...
"I'll be right back," you say, turning around. There's an exit a few yards away, a neat gap in the wall with a spiral staircase behind it. You head up the staircase as quietly as you can and find yourself at a wooden door. You can hear muffled voices on the other side, probably the guards. Gently as you can, you tu...
After word gets around about how you helped save that Oalkwardner girl, the villagers seem to trust you enough to allow you to roam the city without sounding any alarms. Over the next few days, you help with preparations for the funeral, in part because there's nothing better to do, but also because you feel a little ...
I don't know what it is with me and zombie games, I just love them. A while back, I wrote a story called No Man's Land. It did a lot better than I expected, prompting me to try again. So here it is: Ultraoverlord Strikes Again, Zombie Style. A NOTE ABOUT THE GAME: The structure of this story is kind of a new one I'...
You climb up onto the roof using a ladder, and taking out the skylight. The roof is curved, so keeping your balance is a struggle. You look out into the sea of the dead. It doesn't look as big from here, but it's still too many. There's no chance of distracting them. Unless, somehow, you could sneak through them. You...
You get out and take a gun with you. "Hey," you say. The two attackers look over at you. The man tied to the pole can barely move his head. "What's going on here?" "This fine gentleman over here," one of the men points to the beaten victim, "has broken our golden rule. That rule is NO TRESPASSING. And it seems to me ...
You load up the gun and kick the door open. The closest group of zed growl, and stomp over to you. You kneel for better balance, and do your best to aim. When you pull the trigger, you are surprisingly accurate. By the time you're out of bullets, you've cleared just enough of a path out. You slip by the trailer and mov...
You aren't sure how to feel as you pace up the road, vaguely in the direction of Washington. You feel remorse for your decision, and wish you could take it back. Giving up Megan was a stupid choice. She cared about you, and you would gladly hand her over for your own protection. There's no more time to dwell, though. T...
"We can work this out," you say. The man lowers his gun. "I'm listening." > You offer half your supplies "Half our supplies," you offer. "Please, just let us pass. We need to get somewhere, quickly." You search for any sign of anything behind the man's eyes. You find nothing. "Sorry," he says. "But unless you have a be...
"We can work this out," you say. The man lowers his gun. "I'm listening." > You offer your gas "Gas," you say. "You can have it. Just leave us enough to get out. You can take the rest." The man doesn't even consider it. "Look around you, stupid. Do you see a single functioning car?" You look around. "NO!" the man yells...
You begin to get a bad feeling about the place. The empty buildings and atmosphere feel a lot more sinister now than they did a second ago. Your instincts kick in, and you try to drive away. You quickly find that the roads have been blocked off by debris. They're herding you in a certain direction. You can't get out ...
You won't let the man continue. You draw your gun and shoot both men down. They were at close range, but it still took a few shots. Once they're dead, you go up to the victim. His face is swollen, and his nose is bleeding. He flinches, expecting you to attack him too. > You leave the hostage You can't take in a new mem...

There's no time to waste. You gunshots echoed throughout the area, and you doubt those two were alone. With the man hiding in your trailer, you try to drive away. You quickly find that the roads have been blocked off by debris. They're herding you in a certain direction. You can't get out of the car, either, as you s...
You refuse to let some stupid sign deter you. Who are the 'Followers' anyway? You don't care. You and Mikey get out, and move the chain link fencing. After that, it seems like smooth sailing. You do start to notice, however, that the place seems less quality here. Graffiti covers the area, and certain buildings are j...
After everything is packed up, you do one last check to make sure you didn't forget anything. You find a few water bottles in a vending machine, but nothing else. You say goodbye to your makeshift home, and get in the driver's seat of the minivan. On the road, you follow roads that you know to head north. You try to ...
Heeding the warning of the sign, you decide to change direction. You look on the map and find an alternate route. You'll be able to loop around and rejoin I-5 after some time. As you drive, you begin to notice something is very wrong. You expected to be out of range of whoever the 'Followers' are, but graffiti and ro...
"Okay, we'll stay. But tomorrow, we leave. First thing in the morning." Everyone nods their heads in agreement. You have a bad feeling about this. After everyone is settled down and laying on their air mattresses, you slip out the front door. Outside, it's still rather free of zombies. You sit down on the road and l...
Reluctantly, you follow the man. Roger stops you. "You sure this is the wisest choice?" Conway chimes in. "Yeah, these guys seem a little...'on edge'." You nod. "I know this is dumb, but they have the firepower, and outnumber us two to one. We don't have another option." Slowly, your group follows the strange folk ...
You blindly scramble through the forest, not thinking enough to follow someone else or even pay attention to what direction you're running in. You point yourself towards the helicopter, since you assume that's where the others are going. You can easily outrun the horde, that's no problem. Once you're far enough away,...
You realize you aren't getting out of this alive without a weapon, and run for the helicopter. The garbage people start to fire back, but that doesn't go to smoothly. Roger follows you into the cockpit, safe from the garbage people. You scrounge around, and are rewarded with a small handgun with a full clip. Looking ...
"I'll do it," you say. Matthias nods. The other soldiers go over a plan for the farmhouse, while you take a defensive position behind the helicopter door. You figure that it's extremely unlikely you'll see anybody, you still want to remain vigilant. You sit up straight and try your hardest to stay awake. The others h...
For the next few hours, the ride is uneventful Everyone is minding their own business, and the cabin is silent, except for the occasional noise from Ozzy, at the controls. Before you know it, you're drifting off, and then it's a new day. You look out the window. The terrain has changed. You're no longer above a city ...
Thankfully, the seats of the helicopter are soft enough to lay on. As the sun sets, you lay down. The group agrees to taking two-hour shifts to watch for garbage people or zombies, and warn the others. You volunteer for a later spot, so you can get some rest. The night drags on, safe but very boring. When you wake up...
Despite your fear, you stay put. The pair of feet walks up to you, and you hear the top of the dumpster being opened. Then, it closes, and you hear a dissatisfied, "Nobody over here." The people struggle to find any of your group, you scattered pretty quickly. As you hide, you make eye contact with Ozzy, who's hidden...
You've always kind of wondered what riding in a helicopter would be like. Now you know: boring, with a slight touch of fear of heights. Finally, Ozzy makes a short announcement. "We're nearing the landing spot." Thank goodness. Suddenly, something starts beeping on the control board. "What's that?" asks Roger. "We ...
Your walk back is uneventful. You still aren't sure what the point of that excursion was, but it's nice to get your mind off impending doom for awhile. Plus, as Conway said, there's no shortage of bullets. You arrive back at the campsite as night is falling. "Well, time to hit the hay," says Conway. "Are we leaving f...

The arrows never stop flying. Crawling through the mud, you watch as unlucky comrades around you are caught in the volleys. A grunt and a thud, in the trench in front of you one falls, reaching his hand out to you. Crawling over to him you rip off his armor, trying to stop the bleeding. Almost impossible with the...
As you get closer to him, you arc your sword over your head, aiming for his neck. The Imperial soldier slams it away with the flat of his blade and, mid-push, brings his blade back down. The sword cuts through your thick leather armor, biting into your shoulder. You wince and grunt as he pulls his sword, the both o...
The last six months since Galik's death have been eventful. It took a while for you to reorganize the camp, fixing all of Galik's mistakes. While it was stressful at first, you managed to delegate some responsibility to Grolik, Gro'tesk, Hidius, and Rolomag. Everything is now organized, but it seems that the Empire...

As these memories flood through your mind, you realize that it doesn't matter what he was. It just matters what he has become; and that's a murderer. He would drag the orcish armies into the grave with him, dooming Orcin to an eternity of rule by the Mannate Empire. Galik laughs insanely as you step forward, and yo...
With a heavy sigh… you lift the sword up, gripping it with both hands. Grolik doesn't even blink as you bring it down. But you step slightly to the side, slicing clean through the arm of the orc to your left who handed you the sword. He screams in pain as he falls over, and you run the second through the chest. As...
It has been six months since you left to unite the tribes. It has not been easy, but it has been largely successful. There were a few that gave you trouble, refusing to join in the fight. Even then, some of their members disobeyed and walked right out with you. The rest will come around eventually. Lately, the Co...
"Yes Chief," you say, "bring one of these shields." Luckily, one of the wagons happened to have a bunch of weapon and shield supplies in it. Galik hands the shield back to you. "Gigalak will shield me," he says, "besides, I don't know how much longer this dressing will hold without my hand." "I'll see this throu...
In the following days, chaos has erupted throughout the camp. The Red Handed and their allies dispersed themselves throughout the camp, then without warning began to butcher as many of your orcs as they could. Trapped by a cliff behind you and the bulk of the late Grolik's forces ahead of you, the only viable cover ...
You've traveled far the past three months total, gaining the support from large and small tribes alike. It has been tough convincing some, but others are far more agreeable. From the reports you've heard, it's put much less pressure on your army, for now. On the downside, Galik and Grolik have managed to engage the...
Lifting your knee, you hop forward and act as though you are about to kick Gro'tesk's shin. He brings one hand down to push your leg away, and in this moment you slam your foot into the ground, lurching forward. In the same movement, you reel your fist back and then bolt forward. Your knuckles hit him straight in ...
Fists raised, you step to the side, constantly circling your foe. Gro'tesk does likewise, a sadistic grin spread across his face. With a huff you step forward, your fist twisting as the arm propels it forward. Gro'tesk's cheek ripples and his head turns as he moves with the punch. At the same time his fist flies,...

You shuffle forward, wrapping your fingers around his forearm. He grunts in surprise as you pull, while simultaneously planting a fist or two into his ribs. Ducking under a swing, you grab his wrist with your other hand and slide the first up his arm and lock it around his elbow. With all your might, you yank is ar...
One Month Later… The large wooden gates of the village creak open, the surrounding orcs casting suspicious glances your way. A few even have their hands on some weapons nearby, and you do not blame them. Riding in through the mist which veils dawn's light, you appear almost as a specter of death. Lifting the hood...
The Imperials try to hold out, managing to down a few orcs, but, in the end, they are overwhelmed. You stand, stabbing an Imperial with one of their own spears repeatedly. His friend, clutching an injury, swipes his blade at you. You step back to dodge and ram the spear into his throat. Gurgling as he goes down he ...

The last few months find you and your army in the forests by the border. Reports had come of a legion of Imperials slowly making their way to the border. In the meantime, you have amassed assistance from a few more orc tribes. All the while, the Imperials wait, and your forces grow stronger and stronger. You wait,...
While some Imperials have been killed, they are quickly whittling down your numbers. To your left, you see the knight caught out of the line, trying to rally his soldiers. You watch as an orc chops at his head with an axe, but it bounces off his helmet. The knight rams his sword blade through the orc's armpit, pushi...
As you get closer to him, you arc your sword over your head, aiming for his neck. The Imperial soldier slams it away with the flat of his blade and, mid-push, brings his blade back down.

As you both ride forward, the knight tenses up, preparing to run you through. Pulling the axe from its loop, you whip it forward. The axe whirls landing in his shoulder, almost making him fall off his horse. Despite this injury he manages to hang onto his horse, pulling the axe from his shoulder. Yet there isn't t...
With the strange campsite far behind you, the group seems to be more at ease. The forest is much more serene and offers some peace and quiet. A stream trickles by, as your horse steps over it, you hear some sounds up ahead. Greusim looks over his shoulder at the group behind him, and you nod at him. You, Greusi...
You look to Greusim. "Sorry chief," you say, "Rolomag is right. We need to work with the orcs, besides, the Imperials encroached on our lands." You draw your sword. "And there must be consequences." You tell Dekard to get the rest of the orcs, in the meantime you wait. "Nolazir," Greusim says, "I'm disappoin...
Scanning the area, you decide it would be best to take out the archers first. Your plan is to split the groups into two, each taking out a column of archers, and then catching the knights in a pincer attack. You and the chief lead one group to the closest archers, and Dekard and another orc lead the others. They t...
All the orcs stand around a giant tree in the village center, waiting for your chief, Greusim, to speak. He stands on a flat rock, looking over everyone. Greusim has the raven black hair that all the orcs have, the sides shaved into a mohawk, with the back end running down to his upper back. White hairs scattered t...
> You turn out the lights. Once upon a time you were called the greatest hero to ever live. You must have been nineteen at the time. Fresh faced, hot headed, and too dumb for your own good. With sword in hand, you set out with your childhood friends to save the world from an evil wizard (damn, you can't even remember...
You walk to the cave's entrance, lighting your lantern. Within the inky black darkness are piles of bones. Most of them are those of animals, though you spot a human skull in there. This might have been a bad idea. Still, you carry onward, swinging your sword around from your back and gripping the hilt tightly. As yo...
You swing wildly, a yell escaping your lips. The blade meets the dragon's rough scales, and it lets out a roar of mixed agony and rage. Blood drips from its wounds, and it rears back, head turning to look at the deep gash in its side... Then, it charges at you. It barrels into you, sending you onto your ass. Another ...
You make yourself scarce, watching them as they continue their march out of the forest. They're a band of about four dozen, and you know that if you had chosen to fight them, it may have meant the end of you. It must have taken close to half an hour for them all to move on so far that they were out of sight, but the ad...
After a moment, you get up from your place on the floor and slowly head up the stairs. Surely you have enough time before Oscar gets back. Once you reach the top of the steps, you find there is a hallway leading to a single door. You approach the door, a sinking feeling in your gut rising all the while. Something isn't...
It takes all your willpower to keep your blade from meeting his flesh. Still, your anger does not subside, and your voice comes out in a low growl when you speak, "What the fuck are you doing?" It is then that Oscar breaks into tears.He falls to his knees. "I... I... I couldn't bare to lose her! I loved her so much! ...
In spite of the darkness, you continue on the path, keeping a hand on your sword in case you're attacked. You light your lantern so that you can see more clearly, and march onwards. Eventually, you spot an old wooden cabin near a lake, not too far off the path. It looks abandoned, but hopefully if anyone still resides ...
You take the path through the woods, being sure to light your lantern along the way. The ambient sounds of wildlife keep you on the alert. For every wolf's howl and twig snapped in the distance, your hand draws closer to the hilt of your sword. Still, nothing comes out to attack you, and you must be grateful for that. ...
You sit up and kneel on the branch. From that position, you watch for a moment, counting their numbers. Altogether, they're about four dozen. You've fought those odds before... Then again, you had your companions by your side. Even then, you can fight like a cornered animal if you try hard enough. Time to see if you st...
No. You won't go quietly. That fire, deep within your soul, it still burns as bright as it ever did. And no two-bit marauders will extinguish it. You swing with more force than you ever have before, take more punishment than you ever have before. Throwing caution to the wind as you try to take down as many of these bas...
In the late hours of the night, you set out for parts unknown. On your back is your sword, chipped and dull. It's far too large to be called a sword; massive, heavy, far too rough. If anything, it's a hunk of raw iron. But it's yours, and a single swing with the large blade is enough to cut down three cavalrymen and ...
Over the next week, the two of you make small talk. Gi'anti is an interesting fellow, with a lot to say on various herbs and plants you come across in the forest. One particular time, he points out a faintly red leaf, and says, "That there is what they call sorem incenti, it's a medical leaf used for treating wounds ca...
As you walk past the stable to the inn's door, a woman, looking to be in her late 20s, walks out of the stables. Her hands are calloused and her fair skin tinged red, no doubt from working under the sun all day. As she spots you, she looks surprised for a moment, before smiling. "Oh, hello sir! Stopping at the inn for ...
You unsheathe your blade, pointing it at the bastards. One of them gulps almost imperceptibly, but the one who spoke to you just lets out another nasty laugh. "Wanna play hero, eh?" He callously drops Isaiah, pulls a mace from his side. The others follow suit, pulling out their own weapons; one has a curved blade, the ...
You shake your head vehemently. "No. I won't stand by while you all give in to worthless bandits. I'll stay, and fight them off tomorrow." Eliza's eyes widen. "You're still hurt! They're near fifty strong, if you fight them, you'll die!" She's begging you particularly hard. "I've fought worse odds. I can handle the...
You decide not to bother the wandering trader, instead taking a seat at a table by your lonesome. Eventually, the trader gets up and leaves, heading back to his room for the night. You never see him again. After a few more drinks, you stumble out of the dining hall and up the stairs to your room. There, you throw your ...
You take the path that eventually merges back onto the main roads. This is a common route for wandering merchants or supply caravans, with villages darting the path every couple of miles. The entire route itself from where you are is about 30 miles, where it runs into the city of Sodran and then disappears, assimilated...
