| Hail the Octopope
The tentacles that strike.
The beak that bites.
The ink that blinds.
The Octopope protects.

The Legion of the Octopope spreads the news of the Octogod and his Glorious Tentacles throughout this world, and beyond. At the present, a small cohort of the Legion struggles to bring the zombie infested hamlet of Malton back into his many-appendaged embrace. Join us in this magnificent struggle and earn the favour of the Octopope. We operate in Foulkes Village, Ruddlebank and New Arkham. Our members can generally be found defending a Necrotech in the region. We consider ourselves somewhat adept at defending against zombie sieges and generally consider these the most fun part of the game. We prefer players with a focus on reviving and healing but all are welcome.
History of the Legion
Foundation Myths
The Legion in their March on Malton
The Octopope is the head of the Church of the Octopope. When news of
Malton's degeneration reached the Octovatican, it greatly saddened his betentacled holiness. Out of love for his suffering people, he dispatched the Legion of the Octopope to bring the Octogod-forsaken town into his divine light. The full strength of the Legion was led through the quarantine zone and into Malton by his loyal henchman, the Papal Bull.
The valiant Legion burning their dead and various undead
The soldiers enforcing the Quarantine Zone were alarmed by the appearance of a medieval army and did not prevent their entry. Marching through the western gates, they occupied Grigg Heights. Initially, the Legion met with great success, trampling several unlucky zombies underfoot. But within twenty minutes they found themselves surrounded by a vast horde. The final battle took place in a carpark as the Legion were struck down by the undead heathens.
The Papal Bull is believed to have broken free of the melee and escaped to bring the ill news to his almighty leader. Although we are not worthy to speculate on the mind of the Octopope, many of our Octotheologians have professed that such grave tidings will at the least cause our beloved Octopope to wave one, if not two, tentacles in a grievous show of anger and emotion as has not been seen in an age.
Fortunately, some of the Legion had fallen behind, engaged in Octolooting, and once the horde had moved on, they emerged. Pausing only to burn their dead and assorted undead, the survivors dumped their armour, armed themselves with modern weapons and took to the buildings to continue their holy war.
The Cohorts
Heroes of the Legion
Provost was awarded the Order of the Papal Bull (left) for his defence of the Ruddlebank Octotemple throughout the RRF invasion in February 2007. While not the first awarded to the OctoLegion in Malton, it remains the first awarded to a OctoLegionnaire who wasn't immediately torn to shreds by an undead mob. As the Octopope inspired his glorious resistance, may others draw courage from his example. Remember, children, serve the Octopope and you too, could earn an equally shiny decoration. Even the Grand Medal of the Octopope (right) is not beyond your grasp.
First Cohort: The Papal Bulls
The Horns of Victory
The militant wing of the Legion, these survivors are hoping to become hardened zombie killers, one and all. Their name is taken from that of their former leader, the Papal Bull. It is their fervent belief that each heathen vanquished in the name of the Octopope will grant them a tentacle in His likeness once their time on Earth is done and they have passed into the inky blackness.
Second Cohort: Defenders of the Faith
Defence of the Faith and assistance to the suffering
The great minds of the Legion labour to return His warriors to their rightful place - at the forefront of the battle, between the scientists and all the brain hungry undead.
The Holy Mission
Current Mission
The Legion of the Octopope fights to redeem the population of Malton. We protect Necrotech buildings from those seeking to eliminate this source of hope.
In honour of the Octopope, a mighty temple was founded in Foulkes Village, that the people might learn of his aquatic but holy ways. Additional temples have been founded in Ruddlebank and New Arkham. However, building materials are in short supply due to use as barricade fodder or melee weapons.
But neither fog, nor union wildcat strikes, nor feral zombies, nor even a fullblown invasion by most of the Ridleybank Resistance Front will stay our courageous construction teams and shockingly eloquent clerics from bringing the faith to the huddled masses. Watched over by the steely gaze of the Octopope, they cannot fail. Join us in the struggle and fight for the Octopope today.
Original Orders
You are inside the Octo Vatican. Ancient icons, glorious murals and magnificent paintings cover every square inch of wall and ceiling. The building has been extremely heavily barricaded.
A globe-spanning religion has been set up here. It is running.
Somebody has spraypainted Hail the Octopope! onto a wall.
Since your last turn:
- The Octopope has ordered a crusade against the undead hordes. (55 minutes ago)
- The Legion of the Octopope has left for Malton (54 minutes ago)
The OctoDiplomatic Corps
The Legion recognises the need for cooperation with the rest of the population of Malton. We are open to alliances with other like-minded groups, but cross us, and end up with a place on our hitlist.
Our friendship now comes with a free template:-
|
Friend of the Octopope

| We stand by the Octopope. May his dark and holy ink blind our foes.

OctoLegion Allies
The blessed light of the Octopope shines brightly on these souls.
CAPD are clamping illegally parked vehicles in Foulkes Village.
Tikhon Medical are operating on the wounded, dying and dead in Ruddlebank and Dartside.
OctoLegion Friends
For their following to the ideals of the Octopope, these groups have earned the cooperation of the Legion.
The Regulators Alliance are fighting the Red menace in Dartside.
Tompson Mall Security are patting down scruffy teenagers in Lockettside.
Josephine's Generals are wearing very fancy hats and ordering each other over the top in Wykewood.
File:MFU.pngMalton Forensics Unit are eliminating disease vectors in South Blythville.
Fallen Friends
Fallen in the sense of "not around anymore" rather than "turned from the light of the Octopope". Because that could never happen, obviously.
Dead vs Blue:SWEEPZ are fragging the undead in Ruddlebank.
Z.E.O.N. are attempting to deploy battlebots in Ruddlebank.
The Malton Bureaucrats are currently stapling triplicates of H-98 in Wykewood.
Teachings of the Octopope
The Legion recognises animosity amongst it's members as an infection needing immediate treatment before such feelings fester or escalate. The Gladiatorial Arena Policy hastens evolution through natural selection as well as providing an outlet for such feelings. Two men enter, one man (and one zombie) leave. Avoid such Arenas if our members are present.
The Legion guarantees safe havens for all zombies willing to forsake the ways of undeath and rejoin the fight alongside the faithful.
The Legion doesn't run far when the zombies tear through their territory. Where there is life, there is hope.
The Legion believes that those groups clearly favoured by the Octopope's blessings should be cooperated with. If you're not overly po-faced, you're fine with us.
