[quote]Smoke grenades were tossed out, making most of the arrows go wide of their targets with a few rare lucky ones actually hitting.
From behind the Orcs were coming reinforcements, who were firing and lobbing grenades into the orc ranks[/quote]
[spoiler]I believe smoke grenades don't work like that. Especially if they were tossed out after the volley. A smokescreen would had to have been set in place to hinder archers [b][u]before[/u][/b] the fired arrows. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well I assumed you would continue firing arrows. Not just a singular volley [/spoiler]

[quote][spoiler]Well I assumed you would continue firing arrows. Not just a singular volley [/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler]Nah, just time for one volley. React accordingly[/spoiler] The smoke grenades were hardly noticed as the smoke started to spew out. The archer line was cut down from the gunfire. The rest of the orcs were blown apart. (Most died but a few survived, though they were incapacitated at the moment.) From undiscovered positions, armor piercing arrows shot out in the darkness towards the ambushing party of humans. The trolls tore chunks of earth and threw them at the gunfire. The Shadow walked over to the Smoke. Its footsteps flowed molten red.

The ambushers, being ambushed, pulled back, retreating into the village while the gates of the dojo were closed, leaving the goblins, Orcs and such outside it's mighty walls

[quote]The ambushers, being ambushed, pulled back, retreating into the village while the gates of the dojo were closed, leaving the goblins, Orcs and such outside it's mighty walls[/quote] The remaining Uruk-Hai, Goblins, and Trolls change position and take cover. The Balrog inhales the smoke and laughs. "They deny me, hehe, out of feeeeaaaarrrr hehehahahaHAAAA."

The gunfire stopped, and the area outside the gates fell into an eerie sort of silence as the troops left, and the Orcs had no way of getting in

[quote]The gunfire stopped, and the area outside the gates fell into an eerie sort of silence as the troops left, and the Orcs had no way of getting in[/quote] A soft but heavy knock was heard at the DOJO gates. A voice like a burning furnace and rolling lava called out. "Please, grace me with entrence and spare me with place within these walls. I seek mercy. I seek repentance. The Balrog's head hung low with the weight of his shame.
-
"Huh?" A sigh was heard upon the dojo wall, with a pilot looking at the Balrog. "Really?"

[quote]"Huh?" A sigh was heard upon the dojo wall, with a pilot looking at the Balrog. "Really?"[/quote] The Balrog looked up, its skin began to grow as the warmth of a fireplace. "I have been given a glimpse into what lies in wait for me and the end of the road of destruction and fear. Destruction begets destruction. I wish to repent. I wish to exist in opposition to what I have become. To undo, as possible, what I have done. "I have been humbled by the lowest, most neglected, and most abused of my slaves. That man there," the Balrog pointed at the figure behind him, who seemed to be staring blankly into the night in the opposite direction. "I peered into is mind through my shadow, seeing him as he really was. Behold, my lowest slave, whom that figure had swiftly beheaded, appeared before him. Then more beings and creatures emerged, from where I can only scarcely imagine. They were phantoms of the dead. Then hundreds. Then thousands. Then millions more. All grotesque from the effects of destruction at that figure's hand. They blinded him. They weighed him down. They were as a plague to his soul. He struggled against them, powerful as ever. But they were countless. He, the embodiment of destruction, wrought his own defeat: as he destroyed constantly, he was cursed to constantly destroy. He is consumed by his own destruction. How he will overcome this obstacle of mind and spirit, I do not know. "But, I want no part in that fate. I heard the voice of my fallen slave whisper to me in my mind. He... he said I have hope. That I must turn from my destruction and seek out the pure purpose of fire and shadow." The Balrog bowed deeply to the pilot. It's flames died down to liken that of glowing embers. "Please, accept me into your walls."

"Do you swear, not to harm a living soul within these walls, and within the village that borders it?" The pilot asked calmly, keeping his eyes on the Balrog

The pilot asked calmly, keeping his eyes on the Balrog[/quote] [spoiler]sorry for the hiatus [/spoiler] [i]The Balrog pounded his chest with his right fist[/i] "I swear not to do so out of evil. I cannot do so completely however, for this is a fallen universe, and violence is inevitable."

[quote]The gunfire stopped, and the area outside the gates fell into an eerie sort of silence as the troops left, and the Orcs had no way of getting in[/quote] The orcs and goblins changed positions again. The Trolls roared in victory. The Balrog finished inhaling the smoke and flew over the heads of the Trolls.

[spoiler]Actually, what are you taking the test for? Do you plan on Invading or something? [/spoiler]

[quote][spoiler]Actually, what are you taking the test for? Do you plan on Invading or something? [/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler]No. Just so I can officially put myself on the pvp roster to participate in it. We didn't finish our last bout because my I felt my character might seem too OP, so I withdrew him for the time being. Maybe he wasn't and I just need to feel this place out more. Apologies. You did say I kinda did pass when I used Jim Halpert, but I'd rather have a more definite passing. I don't plan on staging invasions as I don't feel I have the time or patience to manage that. But if I did, I'd aim to use it within a plot and maybe some rewards. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]In that case, why are you using a large force of mostly NPCS for the Test?[/spoiler]

[quote][spoiler]In that case, why are you using a large force of mostly NPCS for the Test?[/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler]1) to try it out 2) I felt it would make for interesting plot. Mix things up a little 3) a test within a test, I guess. If an opponent had trouble with this small group of infantry, they'd rationally have an extremely hard time contending with the Balrog. I'm experimenting with it to bring consistency of power levels.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I see. Well you're good. I'll give you the A+ [/spoiler]

[quote][spoiler]I see. Well you're good. I'll give you the A+ [/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler]cool thanks. The ball is in your court if you'd like to continue. If not, let me know.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Passed what? [/spoiler]

I'd imagine we're still fighting. As the Orcs are still in the dojo vicinity.
