The Bartimaeus Trilogy:
Ptolemy's Gate
-Story
Taking place at the end of book three, this map covers the final moments of the Trilogy. For anyone who hasnt read that far in the books, stop here or read what I would consider a spoiler. Or if your not reading the books and plan to, that too.
Nouda, the great demon summoned into the body of Mr. Makepeace is causing general havoc with his new army of hybrids, magicians who have summoned demons into themselves. In their quest for power, they have made their bodies the vessles of these horrid creatures, who now have set their eyes on the destruction of mankind.
London is in flames, lower magicians scramble with their leaders either captured or turned into hosts for demons. A small police force keeps the commoners out of the government's zone. But they cannot hold for long.
In St.James park, the commoners are being killed as they are trapped by the demons in their hosts forms. Various figures that were once prominent in the government now jump and leap sending spells at various crowds of people.
A stab of white light. One of the few remaining magicians, and the most powerful one left alive, John Mandrake, with Gladstone's Staff in hand, fires on the demons. Inside him lurks Bartimaeus, fueling Mandrake with his demonic energys.
Now, with the city burning to the ground, Nouda, sitting in the glass palace feasting on the populace, and Mandrake trying to save who he can, the struggle takes place.

So, is this an RPG or a kind of offense/defence map?

Oh, I forgot wishing you good luck, something I always do.

The magicians will be defending the government building zone while trying to drive the demons back into St. James Park. The commoners who are easy access for the demons must band together to try and fortify the burning city.
So yea, offense/defense/rpg-ish kind of thing.

Honestly i wanted to do something with this awesome trilogy, and book 3's end is the only part exciting enough to do it with. There isnt much to go on, did what i could.
And i see your afrits and raise you a Ramuthra. GG.
