The Forgotton: A Necropolis Campaign for Heroes V: Ghosts of the Past
Hi! Since no one seems to read The Angel, I guess it is too long. I will thusly post this in segments. This is the first mission of the campaign, The Forgotton. It is about Sandro, his death, and how he rose again.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Forgotten
[Lightning splits the night sky, and in a dark clearing below, two heroes are fighting. One wears a dark black cloak, the other a blue one with white fur. Their swords clash repeatedly]
Lucretia: "Why.." [slice] "..Won't.." [parry] "..You.." [bash] "..Die?!"
Sandro: [Grabs her blade and pushes her into a tree] "Die? Me?" [laughs] "I died before your ancestors were born. I killed my parents, my brother, and my sisters twice each. I am Death. I am Sandro. I am Death! And to be more specific, I am YOURS!"
Lucretia: [Stabs him] "If you're going to kill somone, kill them, don't stand around talking about it."
Sandro: [looks at himself as he begins to disolve] "No!" [He grabs Lucretia, and sinks his fangs into her neck. As he fades to ashes, his head is last to go, and it drinks deeply of her lifeblood. Then he is gone]
Lucetia: [Holds hand to her neck, where her blood disolves to ash, and her skin turns pale]
(20 years later)
Mission 1: The Overlord
Thant: "Scouts report that we are only a few days away from the southern border of the Bull Dutchy."
Lucretia: "The Bull Dutchy? I think I'll drop in and visit my brother, I haven't seen him in two dozen years."
Thant: "There may be many guards at the checkpoints leading to the capitol."
Lucretia: "Good, we've been running low on footmen."
Thant: "You intend to march your armies right across the feilds of the Human's food?"
Lucretia: "Of course not!"
Thant: "Oh good, it could be peril - "
Lucretia: "I intend to march right over the main roads!"
Mission Starts: You must lead Lucretia across a Large Map filled with Garrisons and Human Troops. When you get from your town in the Southeast Corner to the Haven in the Northwest one, the following cutscene plays:
Lucretia: [Stabs a random squire, then kicks down the door that it was guarding. She walks inside] "Hello Brother."
Giovanni: [Who is sitting in a throne, looking out the window at the destruction and slaughter] "Hello Lucy."
Lucretia: "You don't write, you don't visit, you don't give me tea and cookies when I come here between conquests...What's happened to you after all these years?"
Giovanni: [Has not stoped looking out the window] "The west tower just fell. I used to love the view from the view from there."
Lucretia: "I could give you a whole new view, brother."
Giovanni: [still looking out the window] "I don't think we'd see eye to eye."
Lucretia: "I don't think I'm getting through to you." [walks over to him] "I'm here to kill you."
Giovanni: "Kill me?"
Lucretia: [smiles] "Only a little." [she sinks her fangs into his throat]
Giovanni: [moans, then shudders]
Lucretia: [backs up, blood dripping from her mouth]
Giovanni: [becomes pale, and darts away from the sunlight comming through the window]

You'll see. I've got the next part, up, but I'm not happy with the Third, so you will have to wait a bit.

Mission 2: The Diversion
[A battle is happening]
Giovanni: "Gr'bane, the Wraiths on the West Flank are too far forward, call them back. Shrakkn, tell the ghouls to fall back! Aarshke, those Griffins arecoming back again, don't let them get too near!"
Angel: [Comes out of no where] "Coward."
Giovanni: [turns to her] "What?"
Angel: "I said, coward. You hold your troops back and think that's a good strategy, but you let us come to you. How long do you think you will last when I burn your flesh and body?"
Giovanni: "Be silent!"
Angel: "You will be." [Attacks Him. As it does it runs into a mystical fire sheild. As he/she burns and disintigrates, he/she says] "Didn't even risk attacking me."
Voice: "She's right, you know."
Giovanni: "Who was that?"
Haedis: "Giovanni! Giovanni! The Humans are falling back, we need to opperate phase 7."
Giovanni: "Yes my Lord."
Mission Begins. You are tasked with amounting a strong enough force to attack the Garrison at Ozgaealath, a Haven City in 2 months before the distraction commences. The city is guarded by a powerful Hero, who will be distracted by Lucretia from the other direction. When the city is taken, the hero will return to attack you. (he will be suitably weakened by Lucretia) After he is defeated:
Gr'bane: "The Cavaliers are retreating, should we persue them?"
Giovanni: "No, let them run."
Voice: "What! You lost to many skeleton footmen. Chase the riders and destroy them!"
Giovanni: "Who is that!?"
Voice: "Let me handle this."
Giovanni?: (Voice changes) "Destroy them! Destroy them all!"
Gr'bane: "Yes...captain." [The liches take off and attack the retreating cavaliers]
Is it getting confusing? Good.

It is.... Nice work Daystar!!! Let me guess... The voice is either Kah-Beleth (who wants not only to control an Angel, but a Vampire as well) or Sandro...

There are ghouls in Dark Messiah that are commanded by Necromancers so it is not unheard of in the Might and Magic universe.

 DAYSTAR  You, Vokial follower The point of this campaign is to make Giovanni the king of all undead, that is why Sandro dies in the beggining and then Giovanni becomes a vampire

Sorry then, Daystar. By the way do they need offerings for campaign scenarios - I mean the GoTP makers.

There was a thread in maphaven a while ago, that detailed campagn making... But ubisoft has said cutscenes are very complicated to make, maybe text elements would be better.

That Gorgan is cute but he will still bite your nose off.
