Welcome to Mogalin's latest Battle report, themed somewhat to Diablo II and inspired by both the game and a recent report by GammaRayBurst, who is rumoured to be WC3 and some go as far as to say it is even YRM smurfing. The report was really nice and actually inspired me to see what I could muster up. DII has taken over my life and I tuned this StarCraft report accordingly, but hopefully in an interesting manner :].
So, while you are letting the approximately 42 million images load, I will suggest you 5 things to do: Play DII, Play DII, Play DII, Play DII, and Play DII :]. OK - Let's get this show on the road!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away 3 races were brooding, preparing for a struggle that would last an eternity. Of these 3 factions, there existed possible alliances which have been recorded in the ancient parchments, located in a sector which is now known as the Lost Temple, but in ancient times was more commonly referred to as Rivalry. Constant warring and battling caused the battle ground to become distorted and disarrayed, creating the area Lost Temple.
This is a transcript from the ancient parchments in which a large Terran faction composed of two parts (One in the northeastern quadrant and the other located in the southwestern area) looking to control the area for the Terran armament. However, their victory would not be easily taken.. both a Zerg and Protoss faction had already established a camp in the immediate area, Zerg to the southeast and Protoss in the northwestern area.
A clash was imminent.

All players assumed standard team-game initiation codes and all appeared to be constructing unit production facilities as quickly as possible. If you will take a glance just a little below you will see them displayed.
The parchments' analysis of these initiation codes was a tech, with teching on the Terran's side, teching on the Zerg's side, and expanding on the Protoss side. FireStrike had constructed a wallin- strategically placing his 2 Supply Depots in front of his Barracks, disallowing larger units to zip through.
So, FireStrike was safe enough in his base so he began production of multiple marines to hopefully fend off an early rush which the parchments record that the Terrans had been scouting for. HellGhost sent a Space Construction Vehicle for Reconassaince from his base in the southwest to Cantona's Protoss establishment in the northwest. Recorded for the Terran militia was the establishment of an expansion- accompanied by a single rightous Zealot and two automated Photon Cannons being warped in.
The Terran militia made the tactical decision to allow this expansion and attempt to overpower the early lack of units with some units. So, what have all the players been doing? I'll take a look at the parchment.. Hmm, yes. Here we are. X_Mage_X has been transitioning quickly for Lurker tech, in an attempt to destroy the Terran Infantry at FireStrike's base. Oddly enough, FireStrike has added a Factory and 2 Starports, and adds a Science Facility soon after. A tactical early wraith strategy was being implemented there. Cantona was still relatively low in troop count. HellGhost had constructed an Academy, Engineering Bay, and Factory along with a Machine Shop to produce Siege Tanks. So, the first parchment statement was correct, all factions were establishing higher tech in lieu of rushing. This was relatively rare it had been stated as having double the defending troop count (via double rush) can often lead to one faction's early demise. Oh well.
The first blood of the struggle occurs then. FireStrike sends his first two Wraiths (basic Terran aircraft, capable of firing to both air and ground) down to X_Mage_X's base where 5 lurkers are reported morphing along with slight Zergling support. One of X_Mage_X's freshly-hatched Hydralisks (versatile land and land to air fighter, both quick and deadly) quickly charged in on the scene and chased away the two Wraiths, but not before they struck down an Overlord.
FireStrike, composing one half of the Terran faction alerted his faction member HellGhost that he should be able to handle the incoming "lurkeys."
Of course, their language is ancient and understandable only via a complex decryptionating process.

An initial, tactical strike was co-ordinated on FireStrike. X_Mage_X was swiftly incoming with a semi-large force of about 10 Zerglings and 5 Lurkers. To defend, FireStrike, was armed with about 12 Marines and 2 Vultures without Mines, and two Wraiths. A third wraith and a Science Vessel were currently in production. The following data was recorded:
