Title: CORGUL DEFEATED! Post by: Octiovus on May 11, 2018, 12:13:53 am When Vesper called for aid, it was Cove that did answer - taking the fight to the infamous Corgul who had been snatching Vesperian citizens along the coast! A brave trio of myself, Raven and Pickles did set sail to do battle with the beast, aided by a... colourful collection of friends, including the Countess of Moonglow, a pack of dragons, and Escaflowne the Bearheaded beastmaster of Vesper. Many other Covians did volunteer for the fight, but couldn't quite find their sea legs - the absence of the Covian navy obviously takings its toll!

Despite his immense power (and seemingly unlimited vitality. It really was a lot. Seriously) with unparalleled teamwork we wore him down in the battle of attrition, despite shortages of arrows and bandages - I even saw Raven go at him with nowt but a mere dagger in hand! Carnage! Explosions! Dragons! Mayhem! Truly a tale for the ages, you should have been there! But in the end Covian force of arms prevailed (with some help) and Corgul himself was cleaved in twain with my own halberd! We did however, have little time to contemplate the victory - the whole island itself began to rumble and vanish beneath the waves. I escaped with only his head as a trophy! I believe some Vesperians were left to sink beneath the waves, but such are the dangers of a guardsman's life. (https://s20.postimg.cc/kcs7yc4zx/Strike.png) ANOTHER GRAND COVIAN VICTORY!
