JainaQuest, giving SV voters control of Jaina in the Warcraft 3 era

The ogres hold their position as Jaina deliberates on the best course of action available to her. 'hmmm, diplomacy would be unlikely to work with ogres, however it would be for the best if we can avoid this conflict entirely. Then it is best to start with diplomacy but to keep the troops ready for a fight and at a distance so the ogres have to come to us if they wish to battle.'

Deciding on her course of action she informs Captain David of her choices. "I don't believe it will work milady, however with the precautions you are taking I suppose it is worth a try."

Moving the troops forward a bit and summoning 2 lvl 2 water elementals as extra insurance. Jaina then gets within easy shouting distance and attempts to reason with the ogres. "Greetings ogres I am..." However her attempt fails completely as before she finishes a sentence the ogres start to charge at her. Expecting such an action but hoping otherwise Jaina instantly reacts by channeling a blizzard in the path of the ogres. The troops however are stunned by how swiftly this went from talking to battle and fail to react swiftly. As the Troops fail to react suddenly several people pop up from where they were hiding to the sides of the road and attack the army. "Ambush!" yells Captain David. "The bandits must have planned this with the ogres beforehand! To arms warriors of the alliance! Defend yourselves!"

However only the 6 reserve footmen and water elementals are swift enough to respond to this event, the Sorcerers are far too stunned to do much of anything, and while the priests do respond they do so slowly. The footmen are able to block the charge of the bandits and absorb the ranged attacks without too much difficulty especially when the priests start to heal them. The water elementals shoot out their ice bolts at the strongest looking of the ranged attackers inflicting severe wounds on him.

While this goes on however 4 of the Ogres charge right through the blizzard and while the ogre lord takes little damage from it thanks to his sheer resistance to magic the ogre magi are severely wounded by it as well as the warrior who failed to avoid it in time. Noticing the ogres continue to get closer, and that the footmen and priests have the bandits handled Captain David snipes the ogre lord inflicting a severe wound unto him destroying the shoulder opposite his club arm.

As the sorcerers continue to be frozen in shock first Jaina and then the Captain attempt and fail to snap them out of it. Jaina because she focuses on casting an empowered blizzard in the path of the approaching ogres again, this time with more accuracy and intent on all the ogres instead of the lord. Captain David failed because he realized the need to take out the ogre lord as swiftly as possible and lines up another shot on the ogre lord.

While this goes on 3 of the 6 reserve footmen continue to battle the 3 bandits that charged them and the rest focus on blocking the attacks from the spear throwing bandits from reaching the priests instead. The priests continue to heal all the injuries the footmen take with ease and the sorcerers stand there like terrified rabbits. The water elementals however switch to individual targets and inflict heavy damage on one of the enemies engaged with a footman, while the other deals severe damage to one of the weaker ranged attackers as well.

Continuing to charge the ogre magi cast bloodlust over all the ogres including themselves speeding up their movement and strengthening their blows. However they failed to account for the Blizzard that opens up in their path and while the ogre lord makes it through with barely a scratch both of the ogre magi and the previously injured ogre warrior are slaughtered by the waves of shards of ice that rain down on them. As this happens Captain David snipes the ogre lord again, only this time he destroys his jaw. The remaining ogre warriors, heavily wounded by the blizzard spell and seeing 3 of their comrades fall and their lord so heavily injured, turn around and run away.

The sorcerers continue to be paralyzed in shock and fear, however when Jaina yells at them to "Get your shit together you damn idiots!" they finally snap out of it shocked by her profanity. The sorcerers split up following the original plan with a touch of improvisation for the bandits. With 6 of the sorcerers flinging arcane missiles at the ogre lord, and the rest splitting their Arcane missiles between the bandits Engaged with the footmen, Jaina nods and leaves the ogre lord to them while focusing on the ranged bandits instead.

Captain David seeing the fleeing ogres goes "Oh HELL NO! your not getting away." and picks them one of them off with a quick shot to the back. While he does this the ogre lord draws ever nearer to the ranks of footmen braced against his charge even while arcane missiles begin to crash into him.

The footmen continue to battle the bandits but noticing the first arcane missiles passing by and injuring the bandits, quickly switch to a more defensive stance focusing more on keeping themselves uninjured and letting the sorcerers finish the job. Jaina meanwhile casts another empowered blizzard upon the ranks of the spear throwing bandits which quickly tears through their ranks slaughtering the injured ranged attackers near instantly and turning the remaining ones into frozen corpses with dozens of holes in them before they can get away.

The ogre lord however continues to approach as the bandits are dealt with tanking 1 and then 2 waves of 6 arcane missiles hitting him as he draws closer, however just as the 3rd wave of missiles is unleashed and approaches him he unleashes a shockwave into the ranks of the footmen hitting several of them and causing massive damage to each footman hit. Then the arcane missiles connect with his torso and throat and the ogre lord dies with his last act being to harm as many of his killers as he could before he fell.

The remaining bandits fall to the arcane missiles of the sorcerers with only the leader of the bandits still standing though only barely. The bandit leader throws down his weapon and starts to gasp out "I sur..." Before the footman he was fighting shoves his sword right through his throat before he could finish. As the last bandit falls a shot rings out from the Captain and it strikes the final ogre as it flees. Screaming in pain its knee is blown out and it clutches its leg as it swiftly bleeds to death its cries getting weaker and weaker until they finally stop and the final oge breathes his last.

This is a line/Timeskip

After the troops were healed by the priests and they all rested for a moment, Jaina and her troops once again started moving towards the meeting point.

"Well Captain, that could have gone better but at least now that the sorcerers have experienced a battle they should be faster to respond." Jaina says, starting a conversation up with Captain David. "Indeed milady, there is that. Also this should get it into their heads that this is not a vacation to the peaceful countryside they are on, but rather a mission to an area possibly filled with enemy combatants."

As they finally approach the meeting site, they see the supposed escort waiting for them impatiently. "Finally, you're here." A tall blonde haired man, dressed in regal looking armor and wielding a warhammer stated. "I know you usually run a little late but this is extremely late, even for you Jaina."

"Prince Arthas! This is a surprise, when Antonidas told me he was getting me a special escort I didn't think it would be you. And I do apologize for my lateness it could not be helped. I heard from a friend that there was likely more than a few undead in the area and I felt it prudent to gather up some extra support, just in case of a worst case scenario. A good thing I did too as on the way here we were ambushed by a group of ogres led by an ogre lord working alongside several bandits. If I was alone for that I would likely have fallen." Jaina replies, surprised to see her former boyfriend being the one escorting her.

"I see, a good thing you gathered them indeed then Jaina... It is good to see you again." Prince Arthas states with a weird expression on his face.

Vote time!!! how do you reply?

[] "You too Arthas, its been awhile since a prince escorted me anywhere." (cannon option)
[] "Yes, it has been far too long since we last saw each other Arthas."
[] "Indeed, but the time apart did us both some good."

"Yes, it has." Arthas states losing the weird expression on his face. "Well, I guess we should get underway."

The party then gathers together and starts moving through the village starting off on their mission to investigate the plague in the region.

You level up by gaining EXP from defeating enemies in battles or duels, The more difficult the battle/duel the more EXP gained. Difficulty of battle or duel is determined by enemies level in this quest multiplied by their level in warcraft 3. (all units have levels in warcraft 3.) Duels grant more EXP than battles of the same difficulty level.

Amount of EXP needed to level to the next level for heroes starts at 10 at level 1 and increases by 50% for every level gained.

Troops also gain EXP and can evolve into more powerful versions of themselves if they live to gain enough.
Troop levels go by Recruit-Basic-Veteran-Elite-OP in that order. It takes 10 EXP to go from recruit-basic and doubles for each level up after to the max of 80EXP to go from Elite-Veteran

all troops involved in a battle share two-thirds of the EXP from it, though not equally as lower levelled troops will gain more EXP than higher levelled troops. Higher levelled troops just tend to have the level tag in front of the name of the unit they are, unless they are basic in which case they have no tag. Heroes involved in the battle share the final third of the exp, again with lower levelled heroes getting a slightly bigger share.


All spells/abilities level based on how much you use them/practice them. EXP from each use in battle depends on how successful the spell was. While each use in practice/training grants the amount of EXP mentioned before you choose to train. EXP needed to level spells/abilities is 10 to GET the spell in the first place and then doubled for every level afterwards.
