((Welcome, Graystripe! Feel free to imagine up any class you deem remotely fitting. As 'Crazed The-Hydra Fangirl' is a legitimate class, so have at it. Once you've decided, well, just jump right on in.))

*You have hired the Black Earth! Two figures teleport close to the nearest Teleport Anchor.*

*The Testificate is clad in grey and brown material unidentifiable to you; the Human in some black metal also unidentifiable to you. The Testificate wields a sword often in the hands of adventurers and mercenaries your class and level; the Human wields a mace of somewhat better quality, with a pistol in the holster.*

Testificate: Thank goodness! Bolding our mercenary title worked, Carcino! Oh, hello there, we're the Black Earth, yes. We'll work as long as you need us to.

*Wow. The name was made bold on purpose to grab your attention.*

Carcino (The Human):...What's that? *He's pointing outside the door to the amassing army*

Tazz:...Congratulations! You are now officially part of the last defense of existence! Consider it an extremely high honor!

Carcino: WHAT?! Jeremy, what did you sign us up for?!

Jeremy (The Testificate):...Well, anyone on the Mercenary network can be hired by anyone, which is why I was reluctant to use it.

Carcino:...Augh! Out of a frying pan and into the fire!

Jeremy: Indeed...But, what is that?

Tazz: A very very angry Tyrant Overlord named Nidhogg. He's...Well, he's not INVULNERABLE, we've done him in once, but his only weakness is to asphyxiation, and-

*Carcino and Jeremy both look like they've made a massive mistake.*

Tazz: We will basically pay out of our rear ends for this. Or should I just send you back-

*Carcino and Jeremy both look like that would be even worse.*

Carcino: Tyrant Overlord, dead, no problem!

Jeremy: Completely up our alley!

Tazz: I'm just going to assume that you are in well over your heads here, and admittedly, I think all of us are as well...But, it's either let it happen, or try to stop it. And trust us, Nidhogg's probably only topped in serious threat level by maybe a few other guys-

The Black: <They're coming! Wave 2 is coming! Get ready!>

Tazz: And that is our employer telling us to get on with it and get ready!

*Carcino and Jeremy have joined the defense! How effective they are remains to be seen, still. They may just not know the level difference here. The gun Carcino wields looks very formidable...*

*You have made no alterations to units in the time you had, so...Wave 2, Start!*
