The Damneds Operation In Bucharest Romania 240205

In the shadowy twilight of the Carpathian Mountains, a fierce skirmish erupted on the site of an ancient church, a place where the Damned sought to inflict a psychic scar upon the soul of Romania. Their adversaries, a motley array of local gendarmes and fiercely determined mercenaries, engaged in a dance of death amidst the mountainous terrain to prevent the desecration. As bullets whistled past and the air thickened with dark incantations, figures like Samantha and her compatriots fiercely parried the stabs aimed at them, while Solomon inscribed sigils of flame, opening rifts to unspeakable realms. Despite being outnumbered, the Damned held their ground, elusive figures like Autumn weaving through the chaos, arrow ready, as Caelum, with his blades drawn, leapt with supernatural prowess.

The battle crescendoed as Solomon focused on their dark objective, defiling the ancient church, even as his companions exchanged fire with Caelum's relentless assaults. Samantha, undeterred, charged towards the enemy, her armor smoldering from fiery assaults as she kneeled to fire her M4 with deadly intent. Harriet, wielding a mighty warhammer with ease, joined Samantha, offering a wink and a shot of her own. Echoes of ancient evil grew stronger with each passing moment as Solomon neared the completion of his ritual, despite the gendarmes' valiant resistance. It was within this maelstrom that the Balanced&Corrupt Alliance, forged in the crucible of diabolic ambition and steadfast resolve, claimed their victory. With the church's desecration at hand, the Damned staked their claim over the spiritual heart of Romania, their supernatural dominion inching ever closer amidst the crimson-stained snows of the Carpathians.

Mission: Get to the designated site and continue defiling the ancient church until the process is complete.

The Damned are seeking to re-establish control over the Carpathian Mountains, long said to be the home of great demon-worshippers like Dracula or Countess Bathory. There is an ancient church in the mountains that, if defiled, will strike some psychic blow to the people of Romania; when it is turned into some profane rather than sacred, the Damned will be able to use the mystical lines that connect it to other Romanian churches to begin to let sin infiltrate their society.
