No, we will not have a FAQ. We will skip to the story.
 

 Act 1

Chapter 1

Manor of Duke Earlgrey, 1522

 

As you may have just read, it is 1522. The Spanish Colonization of America is in full swing and Baron Earlgrey wishes for England to get in on some of the action. The Baron was a man of considerable power, and ruled the duchy of Earlgrey. He was a kind man to his servants, and had a large voice in the royal politics. He was a follower of the saying " speak softly and carry a big stick." as he was one of the few experts in England who was an expert with the Zweihander, a sword which his father had bought when he went to Hannover. His most prized possession, however, was his hat which he had made himself. Many an assassin had died trying to get his hat. His son's name was Anduin, and his wife's name was Maria.

He had a bronze statue of himself in front of his manor, and the entire yard was a garden, which was tended to by an army of gardeners. There was also a gazebo which he and Maria would sit in when Anduin was out with the peasent children. They would talk about things that were bothering them. On the fateful day of the 6th of March, he revealed his considerable plans.

(Earlgrey) : Maria, I have plans for the future of this place.

(Maria) : What do you mean by "plans"?

: It'll be a multi-part plan.

: And step one would be?

: To unite this manor and the village.

: How do you plan on doing that?

: Some ... remodeling of the walls would be in order.

: Well, what else?

: And a bit of your gardens...

: What's in it for me?!

: Your Gardens will be vastly expanded.

: I like it.

: It'll take about a week to remodel.

: Alright.

: I will announce these intentions to the villagers.

: Go on then.

Baron Earlgrey's home.

: Driver, start the coach.

(Driver) : Yes, sir.

At the speaker's area...

: And you will no longer need to exit the safety of the walls suurrounding the area to reach my manor!

(Peasents) : Yay!!!

One week later...

[cmdp123789 710]

cool story... nice start man!!!

[Follarch 327]

Huh, a nice little story and a nice arrangement of Roman walls and the White House.

Nice start so far.

[Dumanios 35]

 Chapter 2

Step 2 of Earlgrey's Plan

 

: Well, we can start phase two now.

: And that would be?

: Go to London.

: London!? But why?

: To get the King to go the New World.

: And what of the manor and the village?

: While you and me are gone, Anduin will be the leader of the house.

(Anduin) : Yay!!!

: Driver, let's go.

:  Alright, sir.

And off they went, to the city known as London, the capital of the Kingdom of England. They would stay in one of the fancier rent apartments until they got the time to talk with the king. In the mean time, Anduin had brought all of his friends (AKA, all of the peasent children) into the manor to have a feast. Also, I had more fun with Microsoft Paint.

(Those are not police cars, those are sheriff wagons.)

: Well, at least this place isn't drab and dull.

: Agreed.

2 Days later...

: Well King, the Spanish are colonizing the new world like there is no tomorrow, we have to get some land before there is none left!

(Henry VIII) :  I would consider it, but we have enough on our hands right now.

: Then I will sail there myself.

: You are mad, Earlgrey! I have the power to have executed right now!

: But do you have the courage, King?

: Guards! Execute him!

(Guards) : Yes Sir!

And thus Baron Earlgrey had a fight with 9 Knights in the court, and because of Earlgrey's skill with the Zweihander and spinning attacks, he killed all 9 guards. Then 100 Soldiers started chasing him. He then ran out of the courtroom and had the driver get them out of there. They ran until the soldiers were tired.

: Well, that could've gone better.

: Agreed

: I have a plan.

Chapter 3

The escape and the betrayal

 

: We need to leave, Maria and Anduin.

: Anduin, we will probably never return, have you said goodbye to your friends?

: Yes...

: Well, we have a different driver today. Come on in, John.

(John) : Yo.

: Psst, wrong time period.

: Umm, hello thy lord.

: I have not seen our ordinary driver.

: Let's just leave before they get here.

: I agreeth, let us go-eth.

Meanwhile at the Tower of London..

 

: Are you sure this is reliable information, Edward?

: Yes, I was their coach driver you know.

: Send three ships after them. You will be given the title of admiral and a force of 100 Longbowmen, 100 Spearmen and 100 Swordsmen. Do not fail me. If you do, you will hung in the square.

: Yes, your majesty.

 

The next day in the ocean...

: Anduin, why did you chose the black sails?

: Because then it's harder to see us at night.

: But at day, you can see us from a mile away

 

: Quit your bickering or I will turn this boat around!

(Sailor) : Sir! English Ship spotted off the left side!

: Fire the cannons!

The Flying Dragon and the English ship got into a fight which ended with our heroes victorious.

To be continued!

This is a great way of incorporating other games into an SC4 journal. However, you seem to have strayed away from the "City" part of the City Journal

Aye, replies are a bit low.

Kingdiz_55: I guess I have.

Part 4

Aborted Arc

Author's Note: I decided to skip about 5-8 weeks of sailing so that I could show my attempt at Medieval Portugal.

: We're here!

: Well, now that we are here, we can hide here until the King is gone.

: That'll take a while.

: Agreed, let's geteth off the boat.

: Let's speak with King Joao III. If we can.

: I speak Portuguese!

: Well then, let's go.

: Go on, John.

: Don't pressure me, all right?!

(Author's Note: Translate Conversation into Portuguese for Authenticity)

: Greetings, oh King Joao III of the Kingdom of Portugal.

(King Joao III) : Greetings, citizen of Oporto, I welcome you into my presence.

: My name is John, to the left is Baron Earlgrey, from England, to the right is his wife, Maria, and I am there coach and ship driver.

: Ah, I've heard of you three, King Henry VII is after the three of you. However, if he tries to intrude upon Portuguese soil, he will get it.

: I am comforted that we are safe here, however, we will not be able to stay here.

: Then where is your next port?

: Morocco.

: Land of the Moors, eh? Good Luck and be careful.

: We will.

Now for pure showcasing.

Here we have a marketplace between the populous part of the city and the suburbs.

Here is the main marketplace. Across the street is a Cathedral.

If you go North, you'll find the home of Lord Saltheril, a Feudal Lord with a fancy house that has a fountain, boulders next to the de facto driveway and a pond behind the house.

Lord Saltheril, being a Feudal Lord, spends most of his time having dances and lavish feasts and thus has a rather poor peasent village. They have a few over-crowded houses, a wood-chopper, a small chapel and a wall with two look-out posts at the gates.

To the north of Oporto, there is the town of Ouro da Cidade, or Gold Town in english.

to the south of both Ouro da Cidade and Oporto is the village of Prata da Cidade, or Silver Town in English.

And of course, you would not be able to forget the main part of this Large City Square, Oporto itself!

Any comments, questions, criticisms?

[Benedict 3,119]

You certainly have a unique cj - I don't think there is anything quite like your walled city here in the cj section.

Benedict: Thanks!

Part 5

Morocco

The group then went to Tanger, in Morroco.

: Here we are! Tanger, Morroco!

: Well, we should be safe here.

(Knight) : I'll watch the boat.

: Just don't rock the boat.

(Old guy) : I'll stay too.

:Who the devil are you?

: A stowaway.

: Let's just go, alright?

Then they went through the city. The Harbor itself was impressive, the path was lined with a fort and the lighthouse could see a large area out into the sea and inland as well.

The city itself was a different city than both London and Oporto. The city was built in a middle eastern style yet had some European inspired buildings. (Due to a lack of Middle Eastern buildings in  the STEX)

They went to the palace and talked with the leader, which I don't feel like doing.

The palace was an impressive building. With two spires out front and and impressive main building, it is no wonder that the leader lives here.

Then they explored the area and found a place to stay.

Meanwhile, off the shore...

: They are here.

(Sailor) : You sure?

: Yes, now fire a warning shot.

: Yes, sir.

[Dumanios 35]

Time to res this thread.

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Looking good - and an interesting variety of places you have here.

[Dumanios 35]

Part 6: The battle of Tanger.

As you may have known, Admiral Jim, AKA the driver has just attacked the Moroccans.

(Moroccan) : Sir, we are under attack!

(Ahmad al-Araj) : Send in the army! We must repel the attackers!

: Yes  sir!

: Earlgrey!

: What?!

: What is going on!?

: We must repel Admiral Jim!

: If we must...

: I've got soldiers on my ship, I'll go get them as well.

: I will get my army as well.

The armies assembled while the Forces of Jim assembled. The armies then started to fight.

But it started to seem hopeless as the British ships started bombarding the city. Tanger seemed to be an inferno of death and destruction as the British ships bombarded the city. It was hopeless, it seemed.

[Dumanios 35]

Schulmanator: Yes, I do have a wide variety.

Part 7: Duel of the Fates

Then, a surprise occured. The navy arrived!

The British ships were occupied with the navy while the army was being beaten back by the remaining forces.

But at the palace, Ahmad al-Araj and Earlgrey were faced with an enemy that would just not give up.

: Why can't you just give up?!

: Your navy is destroyed, your army is dead or routing, and your surrounded, Jim. What hope do you have?!

: You fail to take into account my skill with a blade...

: You're good with a sword?!

: Not just good, one of the best. That is why Henry the 8th himself chose me for this mission.

: That bastard! He sent you to kill us!?

: Oh yes, he sent me, he also funded me and gave me my troops and fleet.

: Your life ends here now, infidel!

: For my country!

: You fools are not prepared!

Then Earlgrey got out his Zweihander, Ahmad started duel-wielding Sickle-swords and Admiral Jim pulled out a pair of swords. Earlgrey swung first, almost hitting Jim but missing, then Ahmad start swinging his twin swords, all the strikes being blocked. Then Earlgrey charged, sword extended and missed. Then he was kicked back into a wall. Ahmad and Jim were fighting a deadly dance of blades.

: Just give up, Arab. You will die otherwise.

: I would never give up. I'm fighting for my people, for my allies, for my country. Now, die Infidel!

: Take heart! Your friends will not long mourn your passing!

Then Jim jumped back from Ahmad, who had swung both of his swords in a downward manner. Then Jim ran toward Ahmad and stabbed him through the chest. He pulled his blade out and Ahmad fell to the ground.

[Dumanios 35]

Part 8: The Defeat of Jim

: You... You Bastard!

: You may harness your hate and rage, but not even that can-

He was interrupted when he was thrown outside the building. His throwedness was broken by a conveniantly placed pillar made of baked clay.

Ouch.

: Ughhh, that hurt.

: Take this!

And once again Earlgray threw Jim across the sands into a rich man's home.

Ouch. Again.

When Earlgray came to attack Jim again, he was no where to be seen.

: He's gone...

(Footman) : He's gone. Let us go to the ship and leave this wretched continent.

: Agreed

The Aftermath had the city practicully destroyed.

Then the good guys left. For good

Jacquelina: Thanks.

Part 9: The Corazon Isles

After a few weeks of traveling, they found an island chain. These islands were not on any map that the crew had.

: Well guys, we're here. But this is not the New World.

: Then where the devil are we?

: I haven't an idea where we are. But this is not amusing.

: We should send a scouting party.

: We've disembarked. What'll I do Earlgray?

: Lead this scouting party.

: Let's go men!

 : Let's go!

The exploration party found a shack on the island. John entered the building.

: Hello?

??? : Who is it?

: Show yourself!

Then the inhabitent revealed himself. He was an old man.

: Who are you to dare intrude my home?!

: Heh, I can take you!

The rest of the troops were unaware of what John was talking about. Then John fired his crossbow at the old man. The crossbow darts were blocked by a magical shield summoned by the old man.

: What the devil?!

: You see, you are obviously outmatched.

: Troops, attack!

: Charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then the old man laucnhed a bolt of lightning that bounce off all the soldiers and killed them all.

: Son of a- What are you?!

: I am Gabriel of the English Catholic Church. Son of a wizard and a nun and of the everliving.

: Everliving? Who, no, what are they?

: The everliving are people that live forever. They are also known as Highlanders and Immortals.

: What's going on?!

: He is a threat, but may yet be able to help us.

: Why have you come here?

: We wish to live here.

: Well then, you must consult the great and mighty leader of the castle over there!

: The great and mighty whom?

: The great and mighty Mr. Bigglesworth!

[Dumanios 35]

Part 10: Mr. Biggleworth's Castle.

: You're kidding, right?

: No, I am not joking about the owner of the castle. We must go together, or die separate.

: Time for a 4-man raid!

: A what?

: Everyone just follow me.

And so the group followed John the Futureman into the castle, where Earlgray, John, the old man and Maria all went.

The heroes went through the castle, which had background music. They battled enemies they had never seen before. Including human guardians, the undead and daemons.

Eventually they came upon the first boss. An Undead Guard Leader.

: Greeting mortals. I am Zoganthiar, leader of the Undead forces here and general of the undead forces on this world, perhaps you would like to join.

: I know not who are you are, but I shall send you back to the grave!

: If you wish...

The group then fought Zoganthiar for about 50 minutes until Zoganthiar gave up.

: You four are very strong. Perhaps strong enough to fight the next one...

Then the heroes went through the castle some more until they found an odd looking enemy...

: Aaah, these are the mortals Zoganthiar told me of. I am Kaz'rogl. I am the leader of Mr. Bigglesworth's Doomguards. Perhaps you wish to die?

: To Hell with you!

And the group fought Kaz'rogl for another hour until Kaz'rogl fell defeated. Then the group went on. They eventually found the last room between them and Mr. Bigglesworth guarded by a single woman.

: Well well well. If it isn't the challengers.

: Who are you?

: I am a fellow person. just like you.

: Why here?

: To learn from the best. Now, would you like to pass?

: Then we shall fight!

: Saphirron! I summon thee!

The ground began to crack, energy and steam were pouring out of the cracks and then it appeared.

Out of the ground, came the skeleton of a dragon, pulsing with energy and the power of the cold.

: Now mortals, you must die!

[jacqulina 162]

Jacquelina: Yes, I've got an interesting story.

Part 11: Mr. Biggleworth's Castle Part 2

: Earlgray! Why did you do that?!

: I did not see that coming...

(Saphirron) : Are you done bickering?!

: Yes! Now, we shall fight!

: Where is this music coming from?

: DIE!!!

Saphirron then breathed cold breath towards John but was blocked by Gabriel's Magical Shield.

: Time for my attack!

Earlgray then, with the help of Gabriel's magic, jumped up on top of Saphirron and started hacking away at him. On the ground, John was firing his crossobw while Gabriel was sending Fireballs(no Chain Lightning) eventually the heroes  defeated Saphirron the Mighty and could go on.

: Now about the woman...

: No need to kill me. I am Arladmina, my former name is not for you to know, however, I am of the everliving as well. I can also open this door.

: Then do so, I haven't all day.

Then she opened the door to reveal the throne room. And Mr. Bigglesworth.

: What in the hell is going on here?!

: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! A h talking cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

: This is Mr. Bigglesworth. He is the owner of this island chain and in order to live here, you must get his approval.

: Can we live here?

: Hmmm, should we let them live here?

: They are quite strong.

: What kind of cat is this?

: I am Mr. Bigglesworth, multi-lingual, able to open portals to other worlds and very smart. In order to be able to settle on this archipalego, you must beat me in a game of chess.

: Sounds easy enough.

[SCA Jolly 0]

Hahah! Bloody --. this is interesting! Very good effort, mate! Am hoping for a very amusing finale

Chess, sounds magnificent.

[Dumanios 35]

Part 12: Chess

John and Mr Bigglesworth engaged in a chess match that lasted for 5 hours until John won.

: How... How did you win?

: I am a member of the chess club in the national league.

: Nevermind, I shall now show you the future of the village you wish to build.

And the good guys saw the future and were awed.

[Dumanios 35]

Part 13: Establishment

  : The last update was kind of disappointing...

: It'd not my fault the computer got turned off while the author was playing Star Wars: Empire at War!

: I can't believe the biggest contribution I make to history is getting tea named after me!

: I can't believe the author didn't show the pictures of the future!

: And then, after we overthrow this fool…

Me : I can hear you guys, and this episode has broken the fourth wall more times than a deadpool comic, are you happy?

All : Yes

Me : Now, back to the story!

Part 13: Establishment, Take 2

: Ladies and Gentlemen, we may now build our town!

Villagers : Yay!!

: Where is the ship?

: How do you think we got the wood for the houses?

: Oh. I wasn't planning on going back to Europe anyway...

: Well, now that all this action is done, we can get to work making this village better.

: Now we get to stay!

: I was sent by Mr. Bigglesworth to keep an eye on you and your people.

: Ain't he paranoid...

: Yes he is...

[Dumanios 35]

Part 14: Winter

: It's cold.

: Yes, I know it's cold, the fire is assembled though, we can warm up there.

: The fire has warmed up my body.

: Sir, we are almost out of food! What shall we do?

: Everyone capable of holding a deadly object should go out and hunt!

: Yes sir!

: The hunt is finished, we now have enough food to last us the winter!

: We may have won today's conflict, but the next may be differant.

: Now let us enjoy a nice cooked dinner by the fire.

: That food was tasty.

: Thank you. I am good cooker. As long as I don't have to deal with spices...

Flashback...

Mother: John! Did you put the entire pepper shaker instead of a dash of pepper?!

John: Oops.

Act 2

Chapter 15: The Successor

24 Years after the escape from England

Anduin had grown up over these 24 years. He remained unmarried, but had the support of the rulers of the island, his father, Earlgray and his mother, Maria. He also had the support of John, who seemed to age slower than Earlgray or Maria. It had come to be the day when Earlgray and Maria would allow their successor to become the leader of the island.

(Anduin) : Father? Why have you called me here?

: Anduin, Maria and I wish to give the crown of these islands to you. You are now... King.

: Thank you father.

: You are welcome, son.

: The crown of queen shall be unworn until you find a suitable queen.

: I shall now survey my realm.

: Wow, Everything is differant as the king.

: Attention all! My son, Anduin, is now the King of these islands!

All: Yay!!!

[Dumanios 35]

Chapter 16: The First Few Days

In the days since Anduin became the leader, he had horse hitching posts put up, a lumber yard started and a church was under construction. Things seemed to be going well. He had no idea what was coming in these next weeks...

Meanwhile, off the coast of Iberia...

(???) : Those fools know nothing of what will happen to them...

(Sailor) : W-w-w-what do you mean?

: Their death sails upon time itself. It will happen by my hands.

: B-b-but who are y-you talking ab-bout?

: Earlgrey and his wretched family will suffer endless torment by my hands.

: W-what happened?

: Years ago, I was the man who almost succedded the first time... now though, I am reduced to this state. I have been nearly killed by those wretches once. Now, I shall gain my vengeance eight-fold. Earlgray will die. His family will die and his village will be mine! My name they never learned...  my destiny will be to destroy them once and for all! I will kill anyone and everyone who gets in my way.

: You should reconsider this milord! There is no way that you will be successful! All that you will find is despair and failure!

: You dare doubt my powers? ... You shall be among the first to die!

: You're crazy! You think that- Augggghhhh!

Then the sailor dropped dead from the sword that impaled him.

: Now who else wants to doubt my powers!?

Meanwhile, within the castle of Mr. Bigglesworth...

: I sense that an evil plot is about to start unfolding...

(Bigglesworth's Demonic Guard Captain) : So do I.

(Kazrogl) : As do I.

(Zoganthiar) : And I feel the evil plot unfolding as I speak.

: Does Arladmina sense the madness unfolding as well?

: Yes I do. This makes me worried about the safety of the village...

: Perhaps we should see how the village is doing at this moment...

: They don't even look like they care about the safety!

: I shall warn them. If I fail. Then the village will fall.

: I am putting all of my trust within you, Gabriel.

In the makeshift town square...

: People, you must listen to me! You are in grave danger! If you do not evacuate the town, you will regret it later!

: Your crazy!

: You're stupid!

: You lie!

And then the mob started throwing objects at Gabriel, ranging from shoes and boots to shovels and cans of paint.

: What in damnation is going on out here?

: We found a witch! May we burn him?

: No you may not! He was a major character during Act 1 since he was a member of the 4-man raid that successfully infiltrated the castle of Mr. Bigglesworth!

:crickets:

: He's important! You can't burn him!

: Curses! Foiled again!

: You're village is in grave danger, Anduin! If you don't realise this soon, you may never realise anything again!

: I am confident that me and my people can defeat this threat!

: You don't get it! He is an old enemy of the past back for revenge!

Meanwhile out at sea...

: They think they can defeat me? Hehehehehehehehehe.... They know nothing of my newfound power...

: One would think that over 2 and a half decades, they would be more prepared...

Chapter 18: The Fight at Nightfall

: We are here...

: The members of the Crimson Sun stand at the ready.

: Fire!!

 : Sound the alarm!

: Off I go then!

The alarm was sounded and all of the availible soldiers went to the coast to battle the enemy. In addition, some of the villagers went to the beach to help the brave defenders. The enemies then landed upon the beaches to battle.

(Captain of the guard) : For victory!

(Enemy Warrior) : Glory to the Crimson Sun!!

The defenders were proud and valiant, the two armies were evenly matched, but then the leader came out of the boat.

: You wretches have done well in your defense against my soldiers... but this is where the scales tip...

The big bad then lept forward with a pair of swords and killed the guard captain. The Crimson Sun then proceeded to slay the guards. The rest of the town was quickly taken over. Our heroes however retreated from the battlefield mostly unharmed.

Later at the castle...

: The town's been taken! Is all lost?

: All is not lost, father. If we get some forces from some of Mr. Bigglesworth's portals, perhaps we could win this war yet!

: Now that's the son I know!

: The big thing is if we can get the kind of force we are hoping for.

: Does someone need our help?

In with Mr. Bigglesworth walked Gabriel, Arladmina, Zoganthiar and Kazrogl.

: Yes please! We need some forces from beyond this world! They may be our land's saviors!

: Me, Gabriel and Mr. Bigglesworth will need some time to open the portal to the world known as Draenor.

: We can provide that.

Earlgray then pulled out his Zweihander, Anduin got out a Flachion, Zoganthiar brought out his longsword and Kazrogl summoned his battle-axe.  And they waited.
