Second Battle of Windcliff

The Second Battle of Windcliff is a continuation of the First Battle of Windcliff (also known as the Grand Clusterfuck of 290) In which the Lorentish Army faced off against a group of Windcliff Rebels
== The Sides and their Motives ==
There were four sides to the Second Battle of Windcliff, the Vastarokian Imperial Militia, The Windcliff Garrison, and the Windcliff rebels, along with some Bardonian peacekeepers.
=== The Vastarokian Imperial Militia ===
The VIM was deployed to Windcliff to stifle the Lorentish Rebellion and mend any poor relations caused by the First Battle of Windcliff. They were led by Rogue_smile
=== The Windcliff Garrison ===
The Windcliff Garrison was deployed to Windcliff due to the raiding of Windcliff by the rebels, they were led by Makkis Pekkis
=== The Windcliff Revolutionaries ===
The Windcliff Revolutionaries were deployed due to the status of Windcliff being a primarily pacifist city, with the goal of gaining some actual legitimacy with a victory. They were led by Macador and Phoenix.
==== The Bardonian Peacekeepers ====
The Bardonian Peacekeepers were deployed by Bardonia to stop the raid in Vrodlor, a Bardonian City. They were not led by a specific player however a major member of their side was Akula1
== The Second Battle of Windcliff ==
The Battle began with 7 Windcliff Revolutionaries led by Macador and Phoenix attacking and overwhelming the few online citizens of Windcliff. Their sacking of the city led to many pleas being made in general chat by the Windcliff citizens which were heeded by many assorted volunteers including Rogue_smile and the VIM. After wiping out the Revolutionaries using superior gear, skill, and numbers, a short period of diplomacy occured. While it has initially seemed as though this would lead to the end of the conflict tensions between Macador and Rogue_smile broke down the peace talks and Rogue led the VIM into the Bardonian city of Vrodlor, which many Revolutionaries had taken refuge in. Initial fighting led to an essential victory for the VIM as although they were outnumbered the defenders were slowly pushed back into their houses through the higher skill and better armor many of the VIM had. After returning to Windcliff a few minutes of peace elapsed before VIM Captain MrClip got online and remustered the battered VIM and returned to Vrodlor. Encouraged by this push many Windcliff warriors accompanied them. They arrived to find the defenders reinforced by heavily armed Bardonian peacekeepers. Upon their arrival the VIM and Loyalists quickly gained the upper hand, dispatching the devastated Revolutionaries and forcing them into hiding barricaded in their houses while the heavily armed but few Bardonian Peacekeepers barely held on while manuvering from house to house with godbows trying to pick off VIM and Loyalists. The VIM and Loyalist players began tiring and considering returning to Windcliff and Vastarok respectively, however suddenly player Macador began claiming that the Revolutionaries had won in global chat. This invigorated the attackers who began breaking into houses and slaughtering the few remaining Bardonian peacekeepers while the Revolutionaries met up in a single large brick house, shooting out of the windows and occasionally picking off lightly armored Windcliff citizens. A last Bardonian push was led by Akula1 to try to force the Attackers out of the town however after focusing and killing many of the lighter armored Bardonians MrClip attacked Akula1 and, with some help from his allies, heavily wounded him and forced him out of the town. Now with all Bardonians dead or retreating the attackers grouped up around the house the Revolutionaries were barricaded within, they eventually discovered a weakness in it as a nearby hill allowed them to jump into a weakspot in the houses defenses and a last stand of the Revolutionaries was quickly crushed and they were massacred.
=== Ending Diplomacy ===
Although no official peace treaty or agreement was made the Revolutionaries essentially lost all ability to retaliate to the attack and with their blunted military force many either returned to Windcliff or took refuge in North Bardonia.
==== The Skirmish at Amberwood ====
Another town within Lorent had been set upon by a player with a godbow, who repeatedly killed the inhabitants of Amberwood. In response to this Rogue_smile, RockRoo, and MrClip responded to the town. After a short battle the player fled and the only casualties were a few citizens of Amberwood and a volunteer in unenchanted Diamond Armour.
