Maybe now would be a good time to set up the location/map. I don't think it should be quite as adventurous as the last one on iScF, however it can't be too small. I think a small island(s) would be good.

If you could knock up a map, that would be great, then we can get started.

Um, graphics aren't really my thing. :( There are enough people here that are good at that sort of thing that I'm sure one of them will be able to do a much better job than me.

Well I gave up waiting! :P

Mountain - Well this isn't so much a mountain as a large hill which is extremely difficult to traverse.
Caves - The main caves are about 20 foot across inside but there are tunnels that lead of them which are unexplored.
1 - A small airport. There is a hire shop there with bicycles and motorbikes. There is also a taxi stand.
2 - The main town. The largest town on the island but still not very big. There are various shops here from which you can get pretty much whatever you want.
3 - The main dock. Deals mostly with ferries from the mainland (where ever that may be).
4 - The marina. Full of sailing boats and yachts.
5 - A small fishing port.
6 - A small town. Part of the town is abandoned including an old school.
7 - A small town. There is a hardware store and mechanics here.

The whole island is about 7 miles across each way (if you think this is too small I'll change it). It is mostly covered in medium thickness forest. Travelling through the forest is quite slow but there are small well-known paths, that are not on the map, that are faster. The sea is only really accessible from the docks, marina and fishing port. The rest of the coast is cliffs.

Well, while I'm here, I may as well start the RP. If you don't like this beginning then I can change but anyway.

Forceuser had recently moved to the main town at 2. Before he arrived there were no other squads on the island. With a few new-made friends he set up a small squad who would have battles between each other. They would normally have them in the forest between 2 and 7 but sometimes they went round the other side of the mountain and used the caves. There were a lot of rumours about what was in the tunnels at the back of the caves but Forceuser did not know of anyone who had explored them all.

One day while they were in the caves Forceuser and his squad found the remains of a base. Littered around were water balloons and a few water bottles. The next week Forceuser tried to find out all he could about who had been fighting there. Eventually he heard that there was another squad on the island, made up of newcomers based in the town at 6. More worryingly, Forceuser found out the name of the squad. The Tempests! :o

Forceuser set about contacting everyone he knew and informing them about the Tempests and requesting fo their help. The holidays would start the next week and he knew he wouldn't be able to deal with them alone.


EDIT: Well I suppose I should better explain who's in my (fictitious) squad.
The main members of Triaqua:
Forceuser - Commander - CPS 2000/4100
Sophie - Grunt - CPS 21K
Stingray - Grunt - CPS 1000
Piranha - Scout - XP 105

Thanks! Glad you took the initative, this should be good. I've just made up a new rule, put the storyline in bold type.

Spinner was a longtime inhabitant of 7. He had retired there after serving his time as a major in the British Army, and now spent a peaceful existence. Maybe a bit too peaceful...despite the calm, he sensed things could always change, and kept a secret and powerful armoury in his cellar.

Then, one day, he received news of an uprising, a mob who were terrorising inhabitants. It was time to be vigilant, and to re-open his cellar...

Crashdummy was in the remaining section of 6 that wasn't abandoned. The section of 6 was shattered as in a heavy battle, wbl's had hit the buildings. As Crashdummy was in his house in 6, he recieved word that some drifters were coming to 6 from the east by 5. They were unskilled warriors but their numbers, about 5 might be enough to overwhelm a skilled soakerphile. Crashdummy had all of his weapons filled already by a well next to his house and was ready for a bombardment at any time. Crashdummy was always ready though as the Tempests had been by his house for quite some time.

Hehe, that was fun to type.

While hiking on the mountain, NiborDude saw something weird. He came to a ledge where he could look down on whatever was going on. Flabergasted (hahaha funny word) He fell back and muttered to himself, "How the Hasbro HQ did the Tempests get on the island without being seen? Not to mention how they got all the stuff that they have in the camp?" NiborDude then ran to his house in 6. Where he met up with others in his squad saying that Forcauser had found a Tempest base in the caves. But that was strange, because the base NiborDude saw was on the other side of the mountain. Pondering this mystery, he put on his camo jacket and grabbed his WBL. Then threw it in his ALICE backpack. And grabbed his CPS 2000 and his CPS 21K. He was ready to go.

While driving on his motor scooter in the town of 2, Racer noticed a younger kid being tortured by older kids with SS guns, so he parked his scooter and tried to make them stop, but nope, they just made nasty remarks and told him to leave, so out of his backpack, he pulled out the loaded XP 75 that he was going to show a friend of his, then he soaked the older kids. The younger kid thanked him and ran off, thus the start of his water gunning scene. Racer ran back to his house on the outskirts of 2 and told his friend.

While Nibordude was hiking on the mountain, Duxburian recieved word that a band of Tempests were headed towards the town. He grumbled to himself, "Why do they always have to harass us here at 6? There are plenty of other better towns on this island, yet they can't seem to leave us alone here." Duxburian then rang the neighborhood bell which was a call to arms for the rest of the team. Several weeks of heavy bombardments and street battles had transformed the team into a prepared and viligant militia, ready to deal with more trouble at a moment's notice. Duxburian instructed the team to have their weapons ready and to make repairs on their street barricade. The barricade had saved their neighborhood from the last Tempest assualt, but it had been heavily damaged. The militia was 11 strong, but without its other commander and without any intelligence on the approaching Tempest force Duxburian was taking no chances.
The team then went into their warehouse to retrieve their weapons. The team produced and sold defensive items to other townsfolk to pay for their own supplies.
They also had the only WBL's in 6, and they had been vital to the defense of the town. Duxburian thought that it never seemed like they could make enough because other water warriors in the town always needed more. "What 6 needs is unity, the scattered neighborhoods can't present a formidable defense. We need a leader to unite the neighborhoods and we also need more WBL's. I can't believe that there's still not enough to defend the town, and it's such a small town too." Duxburian brought out a pair of his 21000's and his 2500. As the team continued with their defensive preparations Nibordude returned from his hike. He then relayed the news of the Tempest base. Nibordude went to get his supplies and then the team was ready. Although Duxburian did not know what their next move should be. They should be ready for an attack against their street. But if the attack were to fall somewhere else, the Tempests might break through. Duxburian was especially worried about the southern part of town, where Crashdummy lived and where there were no barricades.

Crashdummy was well aware that in the southern part of town where he lived there wasn't a single barracade to be seen. Thinking of this, Crashdummy dug a 3 foot deep trench around his house. After that he took his soakers and had them pointed out of his windows in his house, monster on a tripod. On the roof of his simple house, he had a last resort wbl with filled balloons around it. His base was heavily fortified but the rest of the southern section in 6 was empty, the remains of the previous battle askew.

Realizing Crashdummy was a dead man on the southern side, NiborDude told Duxburian to stay put around the barricades. Nibor then took 2 men with him south along the main road in town. Nibor was point gaurd and the two others fallowed behind next to each other. Nibor had his 21K in hand. The man on the right of him was carrying Nibors CPS 2000 and the man on the left carried a CPS2500. They got to about 100 yards of Crashdummies house. They waved to him signaling that they were not Tempests. When all of a sudden they heard, THUD THUD... THUD THUDTHUD.... THUD! Nibor reconized the sound immediately. "GET DOWN!" Nibor and his 2 counter parts dropped down and rolled to the side of the road. They covered their heads as 6 water balloons hit the ground around them. Afterwards, they got up and began running towards Crashdummy's house. Nibor yelled, "Return the fire Crashdummy! Shoot your water balloon launcher! Give us covery fire!" Crashdummy returned fire at the forest area from which the shelling came from. Nibor and company were at the ditch he had dug around his house when another round of shots came from the forest. Nibor and company took cover in the trench. SPLAT SPLAT... SPLATSPLAT..... SPLAT! One water balloon was missing. Getting up, the company moved towards the door when the last shot rang. It hit the front door of Crashdummy's house, knocking down the door. Nibor hustled in his men and then placed the door up and moved a couch in front of it to hold it up. A shot rang from the roof where Crashdummy sent off another water balloon. Nibor and company were safe for now.

While Nibordude and 2 others departed for the south side of town, Duxburian and the remaining men continued to fix the barricades. There were 2, one at each end of the street. As time wore on sounds of battle could be heard in the south; Duxburian knew that the Tempests had arrived there. About to organize reinforcements, something suddenly flew over Duxburian and smashed into the warehouse wall with a loud THUD. Duxburian ducked and yelled, "Get to the barricade nearest to the forest!" The team rushed up to it and picked up the WBL's. THUD, THUD, THUD, several launchers were opening up in the forest. WHOOSH, WHOOSH, shots barely missed the top of the barricade and splattered against other buildings. Duxburian then yelled "return fire!" 8 WBL's opened up, including his own, and sent their shots into the forest. The team ducked again as enemy fire came over the barricade. Duxburian heard a loud crash as several balloons made contact with part of the wall and tore off pieces. Duxburian thought between rounds that this was not the Tempest group that had been reported, this was another one. If the Tempests came from 5, which was roughly south of here, then why were they bothering attacking the barricade here when the south was wide open? Makes no sense...unless they don't know that the south is open and therefore they must have come from a different location. Duxburian glanced up at the caves in the mountain, which were barely visible. They may have come from there, will have to find out later. "Return fire!" The team fired another round of water balloons. The forest became quiet; there was no return fire from the enemy. Duxburian immediately ran into the warehouse and up to the roof, from where he could see the whole town. There he discovered that the Tempests had quit and were progressing torward the south. He could now see that there were about 10 of them and they had ditched the WBL's. "They must have run out of ammo." The Tempest who appeared to be the leader had a CPS 2000, the rest were grunts with 2100's. Duxburian ran back to the group and gave orders to gather supplies and weapons. "The tempests are moving south; we are going to meet them there and try to help Nibordude." Duxburian grabbed his weapons and the team moved out.

NiborDude wipped out his WBL and told his 2 counter parts to take out theirs. What transpired was a continuous firing back and forth at each other. Crashdummy was able to hit one of the Tempests in the shoulder. Besides that, the fighting was a waste of water balloons. But then the WBL offensive on the roof was being driven back and had to retreat off the roof down into Crashdummy's house. They then took last shots out of windows and prepared their guns. In the back of all their minds they knew they were dead. Even though there were 6 people with WBL they knew there must be more Tempest out in the woods. Soon after the last shots by the Tempests, a line of 15 men came out of the forest with guns drawn. Most of the men had 2100's accept for 2 men who had CPS 2000. Nibor figured that they were the commanders and told everyone in the house that they were the most important out of the whole unit coming at them. The 15 men now spread in a semi circle towards the house. They were cautious. Then one of the men with a CPS 2000 yelled, "CHARGE!" They began running at the house. Everyone in the house were dead men. Then WBL shots rang out. Tons and Tons of them. Nibor counted atleast 20 WBL shots from the north side of town. It was Dux! The Tempests were surprised. frozen in their tracks as water balloons bombarded the charging Tempests. Nibor took this time to jump out a window and shot one of the commanders. Crashdummy was thinking the same and got the other one. Dux yelled, "CHARGE!" and our entire militia ran the tempests out of the town into the woods. But now the militia was low on ammo and needed to get back to its warehouse. Everyone then retreated back to the north side of town. Crashdummy's house was destroyed and was little use anymore so he came along with the militia. Everyone refilled and pressurised the WBL's and water guns. The militia needed men badly and hoped some backup would arive soon.
