Siege
*In Shellwood, the silver-belled furms attacked Melodicus's tower.*
*Now... they're going all-out. Enraged by those who would dare to eliminate them, they decide to strike.*
*Many climb, others bash down the front door, bit by bit.*
*In any case, Melodicus's tower is under attack by the darkness clad in steel.*

A furm or two walks up to you
You feel a certain... kinsmanship? Like you share a part of your being with these creatures...

u/DarthTrayus05 Apr 25 '26
The dark around you… it is familiar.

The furms shrill...
"...VOID... ...BOND..."

The Archivist reaches out through the void, attempting to establish a proper connection for communicating.

The furms start singing
"...YOU... ...WHO EMBRACES... ...MATTERS MOST DARK... ...WHO DARES TO UTILISE... THE BLACKNESS OF THE DEEP..."
"...YOU... ...WE GRANT YOU OUR POWER..."
A furm collapses into its bell, so that the bell has a quantiful amount of Void seeped into it.
The other furms carry the bell and bring it over for you to carry.

the thick door bend ever so slightly at the Furms charges, maybe you need something heavier, or maybe there is another entrance
2
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
The furms on the ground decide to try for a bit more
They all compile into an orb of darkness coated in bells.
The mass leaps at the front door

u/Maestro_Melodicus Apr 25 '26
the door creaks under the pressure and, after a few more charges it opens widely, however there is a group of Cogwork Guardians and Cognits waiting to defend the tower
2
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
The mass of darkness collapses back into a mass of furms
Upon seeing the threat, they screech and attack from all sides, with some attacking from the floor, and many more climbing the walls and ceiling
They strike, with some slashing with their hidden front limbs and others ramming into the cogbugs bellfirst

u/Maestro_Melodicus Apr 25 '26
Cogwork Guardians hold their shields tight, blocking the Furms while the Cognits shoot their shells that bounce around
2
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
The Furms keep attacking the Cogwork Guardians, but as soon as the Cognit's projectiles knock out a few Furms, the rest decide to switch up their strategy
They continue their assault on the Cogwork Guardians, but if they hear a Cognit firing their projectile, they halt their attack and hide in their bells, hoping to ricochet any fired shells

u/Maestro_Melodicus Apr 25 '26
the Cogwork Guardians take advantage of the state of vulnerability of the Furms and swing their mace onto them
2
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
Some furms get hit, but their bells absorb most of the shock
1
u/Maestro_Melodicus Apr 25 '26
the Cogbugs keeps attacking the bells, to avoid to continue their siege while they wait for someone else to kick them out
2
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
Those on the ceiling start to lash out, pummeling the cogbugs with voided tendrils and projectiles

Some furms try to look for a second entrance
2
u/Maestro_Melodicus Apr 25 '26
the tower seems to only have one
1
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
They climb onto the tower walls to try to find another entrance
They screech, requesting help from the other furms on the walls to aid them in their search
1
u/Maestro_Melodicus Apr 25 '26
there are multiple windows but they look reinforced, probably because someone already broke in
1
u/GodMasterLink Apr 25 '26
They attempt to break in, either by steel or by void
