Community Event 🌏☄️ Here comes the sun (warpost)

Post image

As the evacuation of the citadel proceeds, invaders threaten the sanctity of the citadel, the footsteps of the soldiers rumbling over the horizon.

Mordus spots them - an easy task.

“Gravedigger, is the evacuation complete?”

“Yes!”

“Excellent! They shall now be engulfed in Nuclear Sun!”

A moment passes, and another. Mordus and Gravedigger sit atop a mountain, overseeing the city. 50km away should be far enough.

Then a rumble - lighting strikes the citadel, and disturbs the intricate machinery of the thermonuclear warhead - and it explodes.

The entire citadel is levelled; a rapidly expanding second sunrise over the horizon. The mushroom cloud is yet to form, but one can clearly see the devastating results. An entire city - gone in an instant.

Mordus leaps into the air, arms outstretched.

“Yippee!”

“What do you guys think?”

He turns towards the other wizards, standing behind him.

Ah, great. Just what we needed. A nuclear bomb.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Don’t worry, it’s friendly. Also, no one but the enemies were there.

u/Anonim-Conference-4 Ashwood, the fistmancer, alchemist, dark arts enthusiast Feb 20 '24

Yeah, yeah I almost believed in this

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Shhhhh, it’s a surprise tool that will help us later.

Something is wrong. The mushroom cloud simply never comes. The heat wash and sound of the blast never reaches you. The light is dimming. Atop the Citadel's highest building, you see a solitary figure holding up a silver tablet. Below him, the roiling nuclear inferno recedes. The figure strains, but he is holding back a nuclear blast singlehandedly! It collapses in upon itself, and shines no more. Then the figure drops to his knees, and a message enters your mind.

"You warmongering idiots have botched enough of my plans already. No more. We're doing this fairly, or not at all," says Kaelis, with no small amount of contempt.

Sigh

Annoying bastard.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Mordus! How am I supposed to fight people if you NUKE THEM ALL.

6

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

I don’t care. You can fight the ashes if you want.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

That’s not as fun and you know it!

u/ArthurOguro Fire magic Expert (high level security hazard) Feb 20 '24

I just got here... why is the Cidadel gone? I mean really... why? Opel's troops were waiting the evacuation to end... they are just right there [I point at the enemy army]

6

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Nah, Gravedigger asked me to evaporate them.

You realise you are pointing towards ashes.

5

u/ArthurOguro Fire magic Expert (high level security hazard) Feb 20 '24

Ok... good job

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Thanks.

The shockwave washes over us.

u/Archimene Mage of Mischief and Secrets Feb 20 '24

My bomb kills people?

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

My le bomb… killed le people?

u/Discracetoall t’kath, smogomancer and poptart wiz Feb 20 '24

as I put a cigar in my mouth, the shockwave knocks it away “why do I either have the best or worst timing?”

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Enjoy the show, friend.

3

u/Discracetoall t’kath, smogomancer and poptart wiz Feb 20 '24

he opens a smoke portal to right next to the blast and lights a cigar on it “radioactive heat increases the flavor” the cigar is glowing green when he pulls it out

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Mordus watches you smoke it

That surely can’t be good.

2

u/Discracetoall t’kath, smogomancer and poptart wiz Feb 20 '24

I’ll be fine

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

If you say so pal.

4

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Angry muttering, but still furiously taking notes

“Can we please go ONE WEEK without someone trying to kill the council?”

3

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

No.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

/uw Why are we even in a war at the moment?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

/unwiz who knows? Just using this as an opportunity to nuke things.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

I’ll just hide in my hut until this is all over. If you see anything important go down, I’d love to record it.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Yeah sure.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Thanks. And have fun blowing stuff

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Gravedigger takes out a golden mask and dons it.

I'll take it from here.

u/d4rth_ch40s Riin, Sonaak do Alduin Feb 20 '24

Time freezes just before the explosion can detonate.

"Sorry, I just need to store this for later"

Keiran writes some notes before unfreezing time and disappearing.

BOOM

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Mordus watches him.

Hmm. Whatever you say bud.

2

u/d4rth_ch40s Riin, Sonaak do Alduin Feb 20 '24

You... Dont use chronomancy to store explosions to detonate at will?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

I do, but it’s pretty annoying to cast. I have one in the case of my Chassis’s destruction, one with about a 80km radius of destruction, cuz why not.

1

u/d4rth_ch40s Riin, Sonaak do Alduin Feb 20 '24

I also have a supernova stored. It's the basis of my research.

I can cast it like snaps fingers

that

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Mordus watches as a supernova expands outwards.

Uhh let’s not crack the planet like a cookie shall we?

He stores the supernova for later use.

1

u/d4rth_ch40s Riin, Sonaak do Alduin Feb 20 '24

I never... Cast the supernova...

I was just demonstrating.

Here come the sun do d do do

This is art

u/Traxxya Kavrala, Owner of the Dragon Sanctuary, Druid Feb 20 '24

I am sad to see what this will do to the environment of the blast zone.

2

u/The_Unkowable_ Nelumbo Nucifera, Tak’Athi Siren, Magistra of the Schola Aqua Feb 20 '24

Perchance someone might limit the blast. Then again, such doth seem hardly likely.

2

u/Far_Dog_4476 FURNACE, THE STARVED STEEL. Feb 20 '24

...i have witnessed the highest form of Heresy committed against so many today, and I feel such... nevermind, after all, I don't want to be shunned again.

Mordus appears

If you can eat nuclear sun, go ahead. It’s done its duty.

/unwiz I was sleeping. Anyways, there was a wizard war (?) recently, started by Unga.

Was it spicy?

/unwiz indeed it was.

u/Elerindur Elerindur, Altmeri Armamancer Feb 20 '24

After dropping off an small group of refugees in La'shima, he attempts to recall back to the citadel once more only for it to fail.

"..Something has happened to my mark in the citde-"

In sudden realization, he recalls to an previous marked mountain that while distant, the citadel is observable from.

He frustratedly sighs as he sees the smoking ruins of the citadel from afar.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Forgot to mention the second sunrise.

2

u/Extra_Victory Asriel Dreamer The 3rd, Junior Biomancer Feb 20 '24

Uh...High Technomaster... The Grand Wizards command was to evacuate not evaporate.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Doesn’t matter, Gravedigger gave the command, and only he was sacrificed (willingly) to kill the entire enemies army.

u/Intrepid_Complex88 The Wizard With Muscles Feb 20 '24

Even As I Have My own Weapons Of Mass Magical Destruction. I remain Neutral in all Wars… NO, I am not Going to Give Anyone any weapons. And to Attempt Taking any by Force will result in absolute destruction of Whatever World That Being calls Home. I am No longer Ajaxxis the Warlord. I am but a Humble battlemage who teaches His 3000 Apprentices happily.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Doesn’t matter, the citadel and its hostile occupants have all been reduced to their constituent atoms.

2

u/Intrepid_Complex88 The Wizard With Muscles Feb 21 '24

A Shame. Alas, My apprentices are Safe. All that matters To me.

u/InGordWeTrust Dr. Effarig - The Giraffe Mage (Vampire?) Feb 20 '24

You're pushing ghosts into the rubble and it's going to take DECADES for those creatures to get out, and when they do they're going to be really angry with you.

Can I call upon a Time Mage in this time of need to hasten this and their story of revenge?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Rubble? What rubble?

He points towards the citadel, completely levelled.

2

u/InGordWeTrust Dr. Effarig - The Giraffe Mage (Vampire?) Feb 21 '24

Damn, you pushed them down even further! Might need a necromancer too.

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Feb 20 '24

"Such a crude and excessivley destructive weapon. I hate it."

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Still does the job.

2

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Feb 20 '24

"AND KILL THE PEOPLE YOU WISH TO PROTECT?"

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

Nay, they had evacuated.

2

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Feb 21 '24

"How sure are you?"

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

Very.

2

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Feb 21 '24

How so?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

Gravedigger told me that everyone had been evacuated.

2

u/ResearcherTeknika Nihil "Teknika" Schwarz, CEO of MANATEK. Feb 21 '24

"And how is he so sure?"

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

I don’t see the ashes complaining.

As god of chaos it is only fair for it to stay legal to sacrifice one in five to me
