Description

"Here we are men... the ruins of the fortified church of Saint Benegriz... here we can finally rest in a safe place"

"I don't know... these ruins look... ominous."

"The fortified church of Saint Benegriz was a sacred place soldier. At least, until the demons sacked it."

"It looks like a troll nest"

"It's a holy place, protected by ancient magics. You will not find forces of evil withing these walls! Now let's go there! I don't want these supplies falling in the hands of the Enemy!"


Plains of Sargos, ruins of the fortified church of Saint Benegriz during the first war of the power (2203-2223 a.a.H)

Orders or not, would you accept the Spot check made by a knight wearing a great helm? Just sayin'. Oh well, the ozcuras band has initiative and surprise, moving on to the Surprise round....

"Sir?"
"What now?"
"Shouldn't we send in a coupla scouts to, you know, check out the place?"
"It's a holy place, dammit!  Now shut up and get in there!"
(Deep sigh) "Yes, sir."  (Softly to himself) "I've got a bad feeling about this."

I guess Ozcuras aren't classified as overly-evil, then...? .___.

And thats when Jeff says: "Hold up. How the hell is this place still protected by magics, if the demons had already entered it to sack it? How can you POSSIBLY say that evil cannot enter, when it already has?"

ANd then the knight goes: "Well.... good point i guess.."

and then they turned around and lived happily ever after.

Meanwhile a band of disspointed ozcuras sat, and watched their targets walk away from their perfectly planned ambush.

But we know that's probably not how this ends, is it?

Scary ruins? Check
Lightly armed convoy? Check

Going around the scary ruins so you can SEE them coming at you? Not so much.

Hmn?  If churches were inviolable, one would think that there would be fewer ruins of them!

That knight might not be man enough to handle to oncoming ambush!

Naughty girls need love too!  It would seem that soon, these ozcura will have much in the way of provisions and have a party with any survivors?

Nice job with ruins, as usual.  Particularly as these are more complex ruins.  The hiding ozcura have a sense of seriousness about them that aren't overshadowed by the humor in the text or posts.

Armored knights like that were around in the First War of the Power?

About 220 years separate this event from the beginning of the Second War of the Power.  All the figures, men, ozcura, oxen, being reduced to bone and dust long, long before most of the stories we are familiar with.  It's a truism of comparing any earlier century with a subsequent one, but one that often runs through my mind.

That's quite a good point there! XD

Knights of the first war of the power sometimes whore a great helmet, but their armor was mostly chain mails. it would be later that they will began adding plates!

Ooh! >____< Foul Ozcura!! Like... like hyenas! >.< (Maybe they will break into song, like in Lion King?
I love the feeling of this picture- the hiding Ozcura, the way the knight on point SEEMS to feel something is wrong, but surely the men behind him will dismiss caution, leading them right into the ambush... >___>

>> (Maybe they will break into song, like in Lion King?
Marching like the Nazi? Nope, I doubt it. The drows would fit better to such a show. And Ozcuras... I think they totally can smear themselves with blood and dance naked around the fire. I more like them when they are losing the battle, run in panic, and scream in terror. Then they look more feminine

Not to be a Disney nerd here, but that's exactly WHY the Ozcura fit that scene! 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Billie-Bonce In reply to RemnantComic [2015-04-01 09:39:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh maybe. That reference to Nazi marching was virtually the only thing that I enjoyed from the whole movie, and it is definitely the only thing that I remember from it.

No, false... I do remember that there was a song by Elton John. Not the best of his songs, too schmaltzy on my taste, but still a good one.
