Nice.
Although yeah, Scout apparently reads HP Lovecraft too....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. The side could use a little organizing though.
He does indeed. I hope he won't start complaining about the rats in the walls.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He has them as pets.
If you're wondering where Scout gets his Mad Milk from, he keeps a cute little goat in a secret compartment in his backpack.
And yeah, he won't complain. He likes Cthulhu and Lovecraft way too much. Which is why he enjoyed the Bombinomicon and fighting Merasmus and Ghostfort- it was just like the books he read.
And he keeps a copy of The Call of Cthulhu and the ACTUAL NECRONOMICON in his backpack too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see.
So that's where his unlimited supply comes from...it must be really small to fit in the backpack.
Yup. He got to live out his fantasy of defeating evil sorcerers and cosmic spirits.
So he has the Necronomicon itself? I wonder if he will become the next Merasmus? Or maybe use it to follow where Lovecraft left off?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. But he intends, surprisingly, to use it to stop the Lovecraftian Horrors after he sneaked into the Gray HQ and found the plans to steal it and unleash Yog Slothoth on the world. He also wants to explore and follow where Lovecraft left off.
Every night he goes into the Medic's Room with the Engineer, Demoman, Sniper, Saxton Hale, Soldier, and Pyro. They study it in silence, and write down notes. No talking is allowed. Apparently recently, they're doing something very important. It involves the underwater city where Cthulhu lives, and the Mountains of Madness. They say that Yog Slothoth didn't make the guy in the Mountains story go mad. Something else did. Something that Gray Mann desperately wants to use. Something that came from Hell.
It looks like Scout is smarter than we thought.

Yog Slothoth's reign of horror will shroud the world.
I'm surprised he managed to talk the soldier into it.
Fast on his feet, and his brain.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And apparently, they found out only the Lovecraft stories in the Call of Cthulhu are true. Everything else in the other books are fictional.
UPDATE: They think they know what it is. And apparently, it's right under Coal Town.
We are screwed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So it seems.
Under Coal Town! Of course! The one place no one would think to look!
We are indeed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Just Odin, really: The Greek Gods are helping the privates and are very busy fighting the Titans on Mountain Lab.
Right now, me and my squad and five other squads have just helped Tyr kill Fenrir-and now we're busy helping Thor and Loki battle Jormungandr.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My squad has managed to send Nyalahotep retreating back to the gateway between worlds and Cthulhu has been temporarily sent back to his temple in Ry'leh, with these two out of the way for now, the fight seems to go in our favor.

Good. I'm in the infirmary, reading. We are fighting off the frost giants in the barricades we have in Viaduct. Coldfront has been taken, so we are defending that instead.

They were last seen heading into the mine shaft underground- Scout wielding his Scattergun, Soldier with his Rocket Launcher being healed by the Medic's Quick Fix, Pyro with his flamethrower out, Demoman with Stickybomb Launcher in both hands, Engineer with his Wrench in one hand and Sniper with his rifle slung across his back. They were followed by Heavy with his Minigun, Spy with his Knife, Saxton Hale and several other recruits. I saw them as I filled up my Canteen with Ammo.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you were there to see the whole thing? I'm intrigued. What happened next? Did the mercs make it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure. We haven't seen them for 2 days. But...OH WAIT THE CCTV SHOWED SOMETHING.
Oh god. WHAT IS THAT? IT'S HORRIBLE!
It's an Eldritch Abomination and they're fighting it. And the worst thing of all it looks almost...HUMAN!
WAIT! I REMEMBER!
( Grabs the book of Strange Tales of TF2)
( Flicks through the pages of supernatural stories and urban legends)
THERE'S A LEGEND THAT THE ORIGINAL 9 BLU MERCENARIES IN THE 185OS TRAPPED THE MONSTER IN BADWATER BASIN! UNDER WHAT'S NOW THE PAYLOAD PIT!
IN WORLD WAR II, THE TFC MERCS SEALED IT HERE! IN WORLD WAR 1, THE QWTF MERCS WERE ALMOST ANNIHILATED WHEN IT ESCAPED FROM BADWATER AND STORMED INTO 2FORT!
Oh god, It's true! And....Oh my god. There's another, they've seen what it is!
It looks like.....PAINIS CUPCAKE, VAGINEER, AND TENTASPY MIXED TOGETHER! THEY'RE SCREAMING IN PAIN! AND....IS THAT...OH GOD.
There was another legend! The freaks were all defeated in June 1968, remember? Remember the experiment with radioactivity and Bestralium on 9 Mercs that went horribly wrong? It created the freaks. And they threw them down the mine shaft!
It looks like the thing's mutated. Whatever it is, we don't know. But it looks horribly similar to the monsters of Ancient Egyptian myths, Greek myths and Norse myths.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My God...the legends are true! Who knew such entities existed within this world?
I will gather a small well-equipped crew to investigate these areas. I will report my findings within the next couple of weeks. If I am not back by then, keep waiting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wait a second- COAL TOWN WASN'T ORIGINALLY HERE!
It wasn't in Teufort, it was originally in the place where Foundry now stands. The place it now stands on used to be a WWII Battlefield where a very bloody battle took place.
Apparently the British and US troops were sent to defend the area when Germany bombed it. They lost, and all the troops were used for horrific experiments that killed every one of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
My god...the foundry. Why did I not think to go there first?!
My excavation crew just returned from Egypt, only a few artifacts were found but we couldn't find anything else relating to the legends.
The artifacts are to be taken to Drogentote for analysis.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The team have found the skeletons of the dead soldiers in WWII too.
And they've found robotic alien things that look like the Greek, Egyptian and Norse gods, rusting and dead, with 3 SPACESHIPS smashed together. And apparently..WHOA! The only ones who escaped from the battlefield were Jane and John Doe- THE BLU AND RED SOLDIERS! They were driven mad and went on a German killing spree to avenge their comrades!
Oh and- the Foundry. It's very risky, but to find the secret- they say you have to go into the factories, go into the fires or look behind the wall in which the infamous " Tobor" sign is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just got the analysis reports of the artifacts my team recovered in Egypt. It appears to confirm the legends you mentioned concerning the artifact's connection of Greek and Norse mythology.
I must investigate further. My team and I are going on another expedition. This time to Foundry, which has gone dark for over a decade since the conflicts between RED and BLU subsided.
I shall report my findings within the next couple of days. I get the feeling we won't come back empty handed...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the archives, you may have to head to Coldfront for the Norse myths, and for the Greek Ones...well....Hydro, oddly enough.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good to know. We didn't find any artifacts in the Foundry, however we did discover a little history:
Did you know Foundry was built over an old temple that crumbled into ruin many years ago?
We would assume all the artifacts or whatever else of interest that was inside were presumably taken by either treasure hunters or the construction workers.
Just that bit of information proves the legends.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmmm......interesting. It should help.
Check the temple a bit more. See if it's Egyptian, Greek, or Norse.
Although the source I'm reading says that the US soldiers in WWII stumbled on a Norse Temple in Coldfront, under a lake of frozen ice, and another group found a Greek Temple, crumbling, in Hydro. Finally, there should be another Egyptian Temple in Upward.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the info. I will arrange for the next expedition to Upward for next week. For now I will prepare.
The Foundry temple was of Greek origin by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooooooh.
Hmmmm...just a warning. On Upward, the pit is very radioactive.
Also, Upward- I'm not really sure where the temple is.
And yes, Saxton Hale is asking you to find and excavate the temples in order to find- well, try and capture the gods, monsters and creatures in those temples- they'll defeat Cthulhu and his gang of very ugly abominations.

-Two couriers walk in through the door carrying a package-
Courier 1: Good day sir! We bear a message from the Drifter himself! He is undergoing treatment in the hospital but is slowly recovering. He meant to send this to you, your hands only!
The note reads: I hope this message reaches you soon. What I have discovered there, it is beyond comprehension and imagination. The rumors of beings and Ancients far beyond our control...they are real! They are here!
I have sent you this package, it contains what I have managed to retrieve from the temple before...they took everyone! Inside are said to be, according to legend, one of the key artifacts to seal them away in another universe.
Whatever you do, DO NOT touch these artifacts with your bare hands, the consequences are devastating! You must hurry! There is not much time!
-The note ends-
Courier 2: Well, looks like that's it. Time to go.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did their hats survive too? And, how many men discovered the Egyptian Temple that was THE MOUNTAIN ITSELF?
I've heard the temple is very MC Escher esque, and many men fell to their deaths.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Their hats survived. All of them.
It is indeed. I have seen it.

I went to Coldfront, to investigate the Norse temples.
We ended up running and shooting.
THE FROST GIANT YMIR GUARDS THE TEMPLE, AND THE TERRIFYING FENRIR.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The frost Giant Ymir! And Fenrir too? This is on a much greater scale than I feared!
Is...Is this it? Could the secrets be hidden within Coldfront? And if they are, do they hold the key to the very purpose of this universe?
I must know. I have to go there. To the dark place...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes.
Oh my god.
ASGARD IS LOCATED IN COLDFRONT!
AND....OH GOD.
I HAVE DISCOVERED THE MAIN EGYPTIAN TEMPLE, WITH THE GODS AND THE UNDERWORLD, IS LOCATED, IN OF COURSE, GULLYWASH.
AND OLYMPUS AND TARTARUS ARE LOCATED IN MOUNTAIN LAB.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...
It is true...I knew it all along!
It is time that I must face my destiny, my fate.
I must go to Coldfront, past the gaurdians, and become whole again!
I could spend an eternity learning the vast secrets these gods and elder beings have held for countless millennia.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
JUST A PROBLEM THERE.
We sent negotiators to the Gods.
Only the Norse Gods are friendly, even Loki, although he was still tied up. We sent messengers to the Egyptians, they came back dead. And when we sent messengers to the Greek Gods, they ended up squabbling.
Also, Saxton Hale's ordered us to go to either Coldfront, Gullywash or Mountain Lab. I'm one of the privates shipped off to Coldfront today. We also have to carry one of Roger Lancelyn Green's books-Myths of the Norsemen, Tales of the Greek Heroes or Tales of Ancient Egypt. Take your pick. It's compulsory to carry one of those, because they are very good for finding out the weaknesses of monsters and have a secret map hidden in them.
UPDATE: OH CRAP.
The bravest privates have been sent to either Harvest, Egypt, Lakeside, Mann Manor, Coal Town Event or Ghost Fort to battle THE ELDER GODS. YOG SLOTOTH. CTHULHU. ALL FAR MORE DANGEROUS. They've been sent with upgraded weapons and a copy of HP Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu. I wish them luck.
We talked to the Norse Gods, and they agreed to help. However, it seems the Egyptian Gods are siding with the Elder Gods, and when we mentioned them to the Greek and Norse, the Norse started talking in whispers and the Greeks winced and fell silent.
Apparently they fear the gods far more.
Oh, and we're being sent to the maps so Mann.Co can kill the abominations there to stop them destroying the world.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This situation is most dire! You cannot stop them! The Elder Gods will consume us all!
They are calling for us...I can hear them! I...must go to them.
It's the only way...

I...I see. I will send a squad with me to deal with the guardians at Coldfront.
Wish me luck.

Odin has agreed to accompany you, and is bringing several viking warriors and a few Valkyries as well. However, he requests that you upgrade your weapons first, as Cthulhu is very tough. And when you're dealing with Nyartholep- be careful. He will mind rape you.
Also, Thor has won the fight by jumping up and down on Jormungandr while bashing his head with Mjolnr while Loki took time to dump the acid that's been tormenting for years on the serpent. We backed them up with gunfire.
Right now, all of us are dealing with Ymir. We've set up a defense in the cabin in Coldfront, and our bases have missiles and laser cannons ready.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Our weapons have been upgraded. We are set to go.
This is it...the battle of the century...
I am ready. I've saved the elder sign for just this moment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good Luck.
We are holding the fort...down to our last bits of ammo. The Valkyries are riding off and getting health and ammo boxes and hats and weapons and food and drink for us.
I'm reading in the infirmary, while I get a new leg. There's no anaesthetic, but it doesn't hurt because of the Quick Fix healing me. Apparently, the Frost Giants have decided to something like a Cavalry Charge, but without the horses.
The Pyros are holding them off with everything they have.
I ran out of ammo for my flamethrower, so I used my Shotgun and the butt of it when the shells ran out. The Engineers have salvaged just enough metal to build Level 3 Dispensers, so there's still hope.

Upward is quite a distance away, about an entire day's worth of travel.
Hmm...sounds like a very difficult task. This will take some time to prepare for.
