PipSqueek the Evil Engineer and Bessie the Dreadnought

PipSqueak The Mad Engineer and Bessie his Dreadnought

*the smith looked up at the sound of a commotion out front, "Oi here now whats all this?" he bellowed as he came upon a group of townsfolk surrounding what looked to be a small grey blue child no bigger then a 5 year old. The mayor of the town turned around with a laugh this here "Thing" is saying that if we don@t pay it protection money he will destroy our town! Hahaha. At the sound of the laughter the "thing" came stomping over, stomping would be a overstatement since this "thing" happened to be a member of the keen folk or to be more accurate was a member he now goes by PipSqueek the Evil Engineer and considering he was thought of as Tiny even among his own kind you can see why "Stomping" would be an overstatement.

"I give you one last warning you D#$@^&*T idiotic common peasants, Pay me the amount I want and I wont leave your charred and rotting corpses along the road!" as he said that the smith noticed something in his eyes sweet and intense evil pleasure, it looked like PipSqueek would enjoy it more if they did refuse. The smith cautioned the mayor on being so rude to someone without knowing what they can do but the mayor wouldnt listen "Im not paying that Midget freak a cent! Whats he going to do? Headbutt my knee? HAHAHA" at this the Evil engineer smiled "So be it you Fat mayorness!.

2 days passed and nothing happened , then one morning a clanking rumbling sound could be heard slowly approaching the town. And as the sun crested the hill a silhouette could be seen of a large machine glinting in the early sun, Well, glinting would be excessive. It was covered in soot, dust, ash and scratched everywhere, it had ports and hatches covering it and tubes and barrels sprouting from till to stern. Before the town could even mount a fight the infernal contraption unleashed all hell upon them, fire rained from the skies and chunks of supersonic metal was thrown through houses bringing them to the ground. As the town was systematically destroyed an evil cackle was heard echoing above the din of explosions and destruction.

The smiths injured body was propped up against the wall of his smithy as the infernal contraption slowly clanked to a halt in front of him. His eyes could just make out in red lettering along the side of the machine "BESSIE" a hatch popped open and out jumped 3 foot of cackling insane engineer, he he he would you look at all these bodies Bessie? Oh my such fun yes yes yes such fun, huh whats that? Oh is someone still alive hmmm? No no no what do you mean I cant kill him? But I want to!! Ohhh ok yes yes yes I like the sound of that! Hmm ok Hehehehe it's so evil! Oh yes? Ok OK DAMN IT I GET IT NO I WONT KILL HIM AND YES I WILL TELL HIM THAT!!"

The smiths eyes followed PipSqueek as he approached him, hearing the what seemed to be a conversation held between him and himself. The smith now realised that PipSqueek was stark raving insane.
"ok big pink human you stupid ok? I said give me my money and your town wont burn well look look look? Burning town, empty pockets hmmm huh whats that Bessie? Ok OK ill tell him! ********IT ILL TELL HIM!!!... the smith is it? You will live ok Bessie has told me so and she has also told me to tell you that to spread the this sentance"

Hi Smuggles! Nice to see the hero finally done :)

I would like to give more feedback but I think I'm dried out lol

Just wanna say good job and thank you for asking me, great hero idea! Not to mention, I love how you write the lore, it's very funny (descriptian as well) :D

Nice hero, but why is lights aoe "on top" of him? Why don't have it go with a tanks Shell or moratar or so? Aside from that it was a nice hero!

Changes done

- Spelling
- removed Lights
- Added explanations
- cleaned up and made all pretty

So, the engineer is the main hero, and where does Bessie come in? is she summoned like Summon Spirit Bear?

I think it's more of a tag - team type of hero, same with Squee, Spleen and Spoon. (2 - 3 in 1).

Also that story at the beggining cracked me up so hard. Thanks Smuggles, didn't have a good laugh for some time.

Then you would skill use [Tab] to cycle through the units?

Can you post the stats? You know, like health, mana pool, int, str, agi, and stuff.

No sir, goblin techies (Squee Speen and Spoon) are a single hero, but it contains 3 entities in a single one. (hence each goblin has a name, I imagine this works the same way).

stats and model idea have been added, this was my first hero idea so i thought i would clean it up and update it :)
