A strange turn of events unfolded one fateful day, there just happened to be two people working on similar projects on the other side of the universe with the same problem. One, hailing from our universe, was a brilliant human scientist, working with a prototype transporter using a nearby wormhole. The other, a universe away, a somewhat bumbling wizard working on a way to sneak back into his favorite tavern past closing time using his mirror as a door. As you can guess, both their calculations where continuously way off, and, for a split second, crossed each other. At that point, the drunken wizard poked his head threw the portal into the astonished scientist's portal. The laboratories security was amazing, and the scientist was somehow practiced in systema, so the poor drunken wizard was in chains a second later. The laboratory then quickly phoned the Kremlin, a group of sorts much like a clan or even a government, who then sent a small brigade to the sight to check it out. A scout force of twenty people had gone thrue the portal, ten on foot, three scout ships, two officers, and five motorized units. Communications where cut after they had gone into the portal, and the wizard was to drunk to say anything, so the lab remained under heavy guard and top secret for about a week.

After the about a week was over, the wizard finally recovered from a sleep he was in, typical after using your own magic to open a portal to some other galaxy, and attempted to break the somewhat primitive, but effective, fetters he was in using spells which to his amazement where unable to do anything here. The guards thought he was mad, and stopped attempting to interrogate him. Then the important bit happened, the men returned. Not only did they return, they did it fat and happy, with pockets stuffed with valuable items. They stated this to the Kremlin, who started raiding the other galaxy immediately. Withing a month, they had become the richest corporation in seven sectors, with no end in sight to wealth. But then, problems came up. Several men reported being attacked, several men died. Nothing significant, but it started worrying people. The main thing was that three infantry men armed with Ak-1000s where killed by a man and his wife, one only had a sword and his wife a stick. The observer in the truck stated that the armor was not just plain steel, bullets didn't seem to pierce it, and that the wife was using some kind of spell. She was shooting fire from her hands. The man in the car quickly ran to the Gatling turret in the back of his car and fired several rounds, it took three to kill the man and two to kill his wife. This was the first real encounter with any inhabitants, as most seemed to be scared away by the flying and rolling metal monsters. The Kremlin decided to send some more people in, and even a nuclear missal and a battle ship, but with neither fitting threw. But it is hard to keep things like that secret, so other companies found out and demanded to know what was going on on threat of war. The Kremlin told, and developed a new policy. Anyone from anywhere in the galaxy could use it's portal, with a small tax on entering, and the ability to keep whatever you managed to find.

Of course, for the native population of this galaxy, this was a bad thing to get continuously raided. Though this world is extremely wide, somehow spanning millions of miles, and you only have medieval technology, magic allows most of the world to get this news. So good luck out there.

The weapon you are currently using is from modern times, against Sci-fi weapons. Your weapon is ancient compared to the more modern ones the guards are using.

You try to fight off the guards, failing. Miserably. They had already their guns pointed at you. The man with a Siaga-100 fired two rounds at you from point blank, while the man with an Ak-1000 fired two rounds into your stomach. You managed to get off two rounds, finding themselves useless against the modern armor of the guards. It turns out that weapons built by the modern Kremlin far outclass those of their ancestors.

The only thing you managed to get lucky on is the fact that when the cashier pressed the button, it also called in an ambulance. And the ambulance saved your life, if barely, and after staying in intensive care a week you managed to escape in your ship to avoid prison and payment for the hospital, with a little of your health back. Ow.

You are still in your ship, deciding the next destination. You could go rob something else, probably something less guarded like a convince store or something. You could go threw the portal, probably joining a mercenary gang or something do to the fact you can't pay the entrance fee. Or you could get your wounds healed. What do you do?

I go to an underground gun shop and trade my crossbow for an AK1000u, and my shield for body armor. Then I go and get healthy from a a doctor.

Biography: A young man who never sought trouble after settling down in a cottage with his wife in the countryside. His job as a merchant, although not stable, was enough to sustain them.

Physical appearance: Around mid 20s, somewhat tall for his age, of average build, short, black hair, brown eyes, crooked nose.

I ask what kind of defenses the city has, while suggesting that I try to strike this monster with a lightning spell.

You enter the first gun shop you can find, one one planet over. This planet was still in Chranth territory, so it was pretty much the same as the last planet. Boring, no one cares about it, in the middle of nowhere. You find a burly gun shop owner and debate a pure trade, your weapon for the Kremlin surplus that seems to be absolutely everywhere in the galaxy. You manage to convince him for a trade, by pointing out the fact that as an antique it had some value. Though you had a big argument over it. Nothing specific, a bit of yelling, a small arm wrestling contest, and you cleaning up his backyard. Other than that, the negotiations went fine.

Body armor, however, is another thing entirely to find. The Kremlin produced enough weapons for 99% of the galaxy, but usually kept the best stuff and body armor for themselves. You tried finding someone to trade with, but everyone who had one wanted more than you had or desperately needed it for their own profession. You eventually find yourself in a shipyard, and manage to make a deal with them turning your shield into a small piece of armor in the forage. It isn't much, but it is something.

Well now that you are armed, where do you go? Pretty much the same situation as last time.

You call the people together in what seems to be the center of the square. It is really just on a dirt road, a rather narrow one at that, but it is something. You manage to call all the people, mostly by shouting. Then you start the speech. "How can you say you are happy here? You are trapped. The elves..." and that is how far you got, before a voice came that seems to come from nowhere. Or everywhere. Or something like that. It was definitely male, but somewhat high. It was beautiful, some would say, in a strange way. What it said was "No uprising, peasant. Be happy we let you live!" and was accompanied by five arrows fired from one bow somewhere where you cant see, heading straight into your chest. Your armor blocked the balk of the attack, however you still felt a scratch on your chest.

But there is good news. You managed to find the only place they could hit you like this from, straight ahead from a slight angle, and fire. Your Ares felt strange to use with five arrows sticking out of your armor, but it was still effective. A body fell out of the place you aimed, the closest tree. Upon examining the body, you notice three bullet wounds. One in the head, two around the chest. It had blond hair, but it's face was smashed by the high power of the Ares. Other than that, it was wearing green cloth that seems to act more like camouflage than armor, and a golden bow. I mean real gold. Not very practical, but worth a ton of money. You take it then come back to the square.

The people stood in awe, mouths gaping, first at your weapon that was extremely strange to them, then at the dead elf. Then at you. Then at the elf. Then at you. Then they argued, though you couldn't hear who was saying what. Some stated that this means the elves where not invincible, and that we should fight, maybe burning down the forest. Some stated that the elves would want revenge, and that they should sacrifice you. Some ran off to there houses, locked the doors, and hid under their bed with their family.

Soon they decided amongst themselves that they would compromise. The ones who wanted to fight would grab whatever tools they could and aid you, while the ones who didn't would join the others hiding under their beds. They figured if you one, great, and if you lost, then you where pretty much sacrificed.

The men scattered, and a few minutes later several people arrived. They number somewhere between ten and twenty men, not a lot but better than going alone, all armed with various farm equipment. You where the only one with a ranged weapon, yourself thinking, which isn't good when fighting snipers. But these thoughts are interrupted by a tall young man smiling menacingly and carrying some bottles of beer and smiling evilly. Molotovs. You just have to reach a group of trees and set them on fire. The whole forest will go up in flames, it seems to be overgrown from the little you have seen.

But of course, the elves are not going to like that, and your "soldiers" don't have enough metal to build armor for your horse. They all run off once more, getting their horses and give Molotovs to everyone, as well as distributing crude torches amongst themselves. The young man who had gotten the Molotov looked at you and said "On your orders" with a small farmer salute.

Well you are the only one with any military experience. It is up to you to decide what strategy to take. You could rush the nearest tree, just a few feet away, but your men are probably outnumbered as well as unarmored, you may be completely eliminated if the elves had managed to put a defense there. They had the time. You could retreat to the other end, as your horses are probably faster than the elves can move, especially in the tree tops, meaning that you will have to go further but probably face less of an enemy, but will also have to go around the lake. You could also go anywhere in between, to keep the guessing. You could also try playing defensive. Or you could split up your men and do several things, weakening your forces but allowing them to do several things. What do you do?

You start your jog to the second city. It is easy, but you are slightly burdened by your larger load with not much to carry this all with. You still manage to make great time, a few hours at most, but are slightly tired when you get there. This city is also walled, but more crudely than the other one with wooden spits instead of stones for walls, as well as being shorter. You reach what seems to be the door, a retractable latter with two guards wielding crossbows on the top of it, and yell "Merchant" while waving your loot around. The latter lowers and you enter the town. It seems most things here are crudely made of wood, mostly log cabins, or more accurately, huts. You manage to find a merchant who buys your two items for two silver each. You don't know much about money in this galaxy, but that sounds pretty good.

Now what do you do? You could look around some more, and see what you can find out about this town. You could leave and see what else you can find. Or you can try robbing something again. What do you do?

You ask the man who seems to be the head guard what defenses this city has. The guard's reply was "Well, our first official defense was Chicken Pete, but I think we just said that to get him out of town. Our second defense was the wall... Which this thing has passed. Our third defense is us, the guards. Our last line of defense is running like hell. We don't have any defensive garrisons in the city, just the wall, and the buildings can't stand this thing. This bunker was made for dragon attacks, orc raids, or other similar things. You know, things that aren't really looking for humans, just loot or food or whatever. It is really just a wine storage some mayor declared a bunker after the dragon attack a century ago... Gulp"

"Well, we outnumber this thing, and I have some spells. Maybe my lightning spell could do some damage!" you state hopefully. The guard fans himself off, sweating a bit now and states "We are right behind you... Though I don't know what our crossbows can do to that thing. Maybe...Maybe I can send some men to get some better fire power, we have two billistas and a catapult in a storage aria on the other side of town... But at the rate this thing is going, the town will be destroyed before we can even get to it. Maybe... If we can hold it off for long enough. If only..."

Well, that is the defenses. So what is the plan? Are you going to try fighting off the tank, either sending some men for the heavy weapons while holding this monster back or using all the men to have a full force on defense. You could evacuate the city, giving it up. Or you could try something else, what do you do?

I decide I will not let this stand; I tell the leader "Send the men needed to get the long range artillery, it might prove to be most helpful. I will try to hold this thing off!" and go and do so, by using the lightning spell I know, while taking a moment to look back and say "The rest of you, stay strong!".
