This is from Warboss Goomb:
Good to see you lads lining up for our little Pre-Campaign exercise. My thought is that it will be a good opportunity for members of both forums to have some fun with fluff. As Wissenlander was indicating before, this doesn't have to be a novel (unless you make it one). I envision my guys creating something like this:
One of the ragged goblin riders crashed through the underbrush, scattering the flock of birds who were feasting on the berries in the thicket. The birds flew high into the air above the dark, ominus woods, clearly marking the location of the scouting party.
"Zog it, Kboz! Youz 'ill bring down da whole umie army on us!" cried Boss Snaggaz. "Dis ere forest es like a jungle: too thick fer uz ta move. Weez gots ta move toward dat road ova dere."
Kboz, Snaggaz and the other goblin riders spurred their mounts forward toward the road and halted as the reached the bottom of the ditch where the water from the rainstorm the night before pooled. Dismounting for a minute, the goblins allowed the panting wolves a brief rest and drink.
"Oi, dere ain't no land ova ere fer a base. I don know wat da big boss iz tinkin," mumbled Kboz.
"Weez ain't been goin long enuff yet, ya maggots! Wan da new Big Boss ta krump yaz good?" roared Snaggaz. "Weez ill keep goin til I sayz..."
The relative silence of the wood was shattered by a lone horn from somewhere up the road.
"Shiz!" cried Snaggaz. "Mount up! Iz dem umies!"
The goblins did not wait for a second command as they jumped onto their wolves and moved quickly across the road and into the pine trees on the opposite side....
At this point, perhaps one of your Empire scouts (pistoleers or outriders) would jump into the story and provide the Empire perspective....and this could go back and forth for a while.
Over at the Path, the lads are looking for a suitable location for our command center and supply dump (and I do mean dump in a fine greenskin fashion). On Da Path, the best fluff gets to name and pick the spot. I am not sure what Wissenlander is planning for you all, but good luck.
As far as the logistics, Wissenlander, do you want my guys to post first and I can PM you their parts? Do you all want to team up right away? I was thinking we could conclude this by June 8th or so.

So far I've got:
dWhisper
Johan
Rha Celt
Dendo?
Ansel?
Ansel, I'm not sure which side you want to write for, so that's your call. Dendo, I'm not sure if you wanted to write any fluff or not.
The greenies have:
Dragoneye
Ansel?
Angelos
Snagafang
Klinktastic?
Klinktastic will be out of country for a while and will do what he can, but no promises.
Pairing off would probably be the best thing to do, it will be easier I think. Let me know what you guys think though. And if anyone else wants in let me know. We can work something out, so don't worry about that.
I would encourage anyone who wants to sign up at Da Warpath only because it'll be easier on all of us. We can start a new thread once it starts regailing the stories, but since the orcs are putting it on, it would be easier for it to be in one place.
Oh, and the winner gets to name the unnamed fort. So that's your prize.
And again, let me know of what you guys think!
