The Damneds Operation In Bucharest Romania 240214
In the eerie gloom of a forest near Bucharest, a group known as the Damned embarked on a perilous mission to unearth the hidden grave of Vlad Tepes' second son, surrounded by the dark magic and immortal defenders left by the Ottomans. The night air, chilly and thick with anticipation, buzzed with the sounds of conflict as members of the Damned, including Caelum, Solomon, Martin, and Autumn, faced off against enchanted Ottoman skeletons and private mercenaries, their actions driven by a blend of duty and the promise of uncovering secrets long buried. As Autumn's arrows flew wide and Solomon's incantations summoned balefire, they fought not just the skeletal defenders, but the land itself, which seemed hellbent on hindering their progress. Caelum, with resolve as sharp as the twin blades he wielded, made significant strides towards their objective, his supernatural prowess on full display as he contended with enemy after enemy.
The night wore on, a testament to the Damned's determination to breach the grave's secrets. Even as fallen comrades faded into the shadows, Solomon and Caelum pressed on, their spirits taxed but unbroken. Solomon's mastery of dark arts was a beacon in the relentless tide of skeletal defenders, his spells carving a path through the relentless onslaught. Meanwhile, Caelum's persistence at the gravesite, tempered by the physical toll of the excavation, bore fruit as he finally uncovered the remains of Vlad Tepes' son. As the first light of dawn threatened to break the night's spell, Caelum declared their victory—a testament to their unwavering resolve. Their mission, fraught with supernatural peril and the wrath of the undead, ended with the alliance triumphant, their success a dark heralding of the power they sought to wield. The spirit of Vlad Tepes' son, now unearthed, was destined to serve the enigmatic ends of the Damned, as they reveled in the grim victory they had snatched from the jaws of the nightmare.
At Tue Feb 13 2024, in a forest near Bucharest, Romania
Mission: Get to the designated site and continue digging up the corpse of Vlad Tepes' second son until the process is complete.
Vlad Tepes -- Dracula -- was one of the most famous of medieval Romania's rulers. Said to consort with the Devil, he is rumored to have studied at the Scholomance and been an extremely powerful vampire. In history, too, he is famous, for leading the Wallachian forces to fight back against Ottoman invaders.
Vlad's first two sons died in battle, while his third son continued the line of Drakwyla even into modern nights. It is second son that the Damned are concerned with: unnamed to history, he was captured and executed by Ottomans and then buried in a secret grave deep in the woods. It is this graveyard the Damned seek to raid, though it is defended by immortal, deathless defenders set there by the magic of the Ottomans.

The Balanced&Corrupt Alliance has proved victorious.
The night wore on, a testament to the Damned's determination to breach the grave's secrets. Even as fallen comrades faded into the shadows, Solomon and Caelum pressed on, their spirits taxed but unbroken. Solomon's mastery of dark arts was a beacon in the relentless tide of skeletal defenders, his spells carving a path through the relentless onslaught. Meanwhile, Caelum's persistence at the gravesite, tempered by the physical toll of the excavation, bore fruit as he finally uncovered the remains of Vlad Tepes' son. As the first light of dawn threatened to break the night's spell, Caelum declared their victory—a testament to their unwavering resolve. Their mission, fraught with supernatural peril and the wrath of the undead, ended with the alliance triumphant, their success a dark heralding of the power they sought to wield. The spirit of Vlad Tepes' son, now unearthed, was destined to serve the enigmatic ends of the Damned, as they reveled in the grim victory they had snatched from the jaws of the nightmare.
At Tue Feb 13 2024, in a forest near Bucharest, Romania
Mission: Get to the designated site and continue digging up the corpse of Vlad Tepes' second son until the process is complete.
Vlad Tepes -- Dracula -- was one of the most famous of medieval Romania's rulers. Said to consort with the Devil, he is rumored to have studied at the Scholomance and been an extremely powerful vampire. In history, too, he is famous, for leading the Wallachian forces to fight back against Ottoman invaders.
Vlad's first two sons died in battle, while his third son continued the line of Drakwyla even into modern nights. It is second son that the Damned are concerned with: unnamed to history, he was captured and executed by Ottomans and then buried in a secret grave deep in the woods. It is this graveyard the Damned seek to raid, though it is defended by immortal, deathless defenders set there by the magic of the Ottomans.
