MONGOLS OUTNUMBERED 2 TO 1 AND STILL COME OUT VICTORIOUS! MONGOL STRONG!

Mongols were banned by the admin from attacking the GAM so they made a second camp right next to nowhere near the Soviet Republic's borders. With many insults flying around the warmongering mongols decided they spent too long without a war (2 days). A formal declaration of war was announced on the 28th. Two days after the formal declaration some more insults were thrown around and the Soviets accepted the Mongols declaration of war.

The Battle

While the 2 forced armed themselves to the teeth, they had not decided upon a battle ground. The Mongols headed to the heart of Soviet territory while the Soviets marched towards Katarbad. Confused Torans asked what the Soviets were doing on their ground while they stomped around yelling for the mongols to show themselves. Eventually word reached the invading soviet forces that the Mongols had already infiltrated Soviet soil. This lead to an exhausting trek back weakening soviet resolve. The bored Mongols finding no one to fight searched through Merriport slaughtering stray sheep along the way. The mongols found 2 dogs sitting at the portal and decided that there were to be the first casualties of war.
The Soviet forces arrived in the midst of night, creepers, spiders and skeletons were abundant at the outskirts of town. The mongols by that time were patrolling the borders of the town, looking for arriving Soviets to destroy. As the mongols decided to return to the town's borders out appeared soviets from inside town, suprising the mongols as they were expecting an external attack. The soviets armed with arrows caused the mongols to split. Each Mongol went different directions though neither were chased. The mongols quickly downed some potions and returned to the city. Seeing a hole in the wall where were 3 Soviets, Mazznoff quickly drew his sword and disposed of the Soviets, all within the constraints of 15 seconds. GreenKitten then managed to sneak behind Patti who was keeping lookout. Without even having to touch swords Green pushed the sentry off a cliff. The mongols regrouped and looked for the last adversary, though taking its time the mongols split again, Mazz exploring the city and Green guarding the portal. Sturmtiger already knowing the strength of the mongols chose to sneak up on mazznoff and managed to slay him without effort. After being informed the one remaining Mongol was not absent or dead yet, Sturmtiger was patroulling the town on the lookout for him. When he reached the Portal to cross the bridge near it, he encountered Greenkitten. He threw splash potions at him, which damaged him greatly. Tiger decided to do the same, but threw it at a Wall, damaging himself. Realizing he could not beat the barbarian with only two hearts left, he attempted to evade through the portal to heal and come back, but was killed by another superbly aimed potion before the portal transported him. Sturmtiger then admitted defeat in this battle and promised another.

The aftermath

Green then tried to collect all the loot but found there were too many items to be held, so he took all the more valuable items and threw the rest into lava.

Reactions

The Soviets didn't know diamond weapons were allowed, although they then turned around and took it into their stride, claimed that this was only a minor setback and that the next battle was sure to be more competative.

Soviets lost some diamond armour and potions, Greenkitten threw all the soviets bows and arrows into lava. While waiting many of the Merriport stray sheep population were destroyed.
