The Temples Operation In Celestriana 240922

In the shadowy heights of Fort Ravencrest, amidst the craggy peaks of north Celestriana, an ensemble of Templars embarks on a clandestine mission under the cloak of night. Under the operation named Omelette, their goal is strikingly clear yet daunting - infiltrate the fortress, expel its griffin defenders, and destroy their nests, ensuring the majestic creatures have no home to return to. Among the chaos, characters like Cara, Isaiah, and Emmanuel take the lead, their actions fueled by a mix of strategy and the inherent chaos of battle. Isaiah's magic conjures a flaming ally, while arrows and calls for reinforcements fill the air, mirroring the tempestuous weather above.

As the battle rages on, unity and quick decision-making become their sharpest weapons. Despite the threat of overwhelming forces and the confusion borne of the firefight, they maneuver towards their objective - the wagon, symbolizing their target within the fortress. Misfires and near misses dot their journey, yet their resolve remains unbroken. The Templar forces, including Jodie with her Herculean efforts against the griffon nests, push through the disorder. Under a ballet of arrows and the glint of moonlight on armor, they find their rhythm, a dance of destruction and protection. This night, fraught with peril and punctuated by the sound of clashing steel and whispered strategies, culminates in an unexpected victory. The Virtuous Alliance stands triumphant over the husks of griffin nests and the silent fortress of Fort Ravencrest, a testament to their might and an ominous sign of the new order that dawn in Celestriana.
At Sat Sep 21 2024, in a village near Celestriana

Mission: Get to one of the three designated sites and continue destroying or protecting griffon nests until the process is complete.

Atop a mountain in north Celestraiana stands the mighty Fort Ravencrest, final bastion of organized military power in the region and home of the griffin riders. The Temple intends to take it, and use it to establish dominance over the region. If The Templars hope to hold the fortress though, they need to ensure the griffins do not return.

At 7pm, Friday the 20th, Templar Operation Omelette begins. False information planted by local sympathizers will ensure the griffons are away so the Templars can play. The Temple will storm the castle, and attempt to destroy the creatures' nests. If successful, the pride of griffins will move on regardless of what their riders might want, and holding the fortress will be much more viable. Perhaps once the griffins are ousted the Temple will establish an air force of their own there? There is after all no such thing as overkill in the eyes of the Temple, only fire superiority.
