Final Battle of Dogwarts

The Final Battle of Dogwarts was the last and largest major battle in 3rd Life Season 1, occurring in Session 8.

Background
Following the events of Session 7, Dogwarts was left in a weakened state. Meanwhile, Renchanting/the Red Army is unhappy that their original Enchantment Table was stolen by the Pizza Alliance; another large battle between both sides was simply inevitable. The Pizza Alliance also wanted revenge for killing Solidarity.

Prelude
At the beginning of the session, Grian visited his Creeper farm to gather gunpowder for the battle; finding none, he decided to grind for them manually. Grian then looks for GoodTimesWithScar to plan their actions.

Meanwhile, Scar, BdoubleO100, and ImpulseSV are gathered in BdoubleO100's Crastle. After searching for a while and not finding anyone, Grian decides to just go to the Crastle. Grian and Scar went outside and the former warned the latter about the amount of people who want to kill him.

BduoubleO100 decides to create a secret tunnel towards Dogwarts, although Grian and Scar make fun of him for it.

Grian noticed that the Red Army were going in the Nether (through Rendog's "We Need To Go Deeper" advancement announcement in game chat), and he got the idea of placing lava on both sides of the Ruined Portal.

SmallishBeans later arrived on the Crastle, carrying with him a very large hound army.

After a break, EthosLab and Bigbst4tz2 reunited with Rendog and InTheLittleWoods at the remnants of the Wool Fortress.

Following the final deaths of their allies, Smajor1995 and SmallishBeans, Scar, Grian and ImpulseSV tower above Renchanting in a sky base.

Main Battle
With a renewed resolve, the Red Army headed towards Renchanting for a final battle. There, the Pizza Alliance are waiting on their Sky Fortress above Renchanting.

Impulse and Grian mess around with Scar for some reason, before Impulse is dropped of the fort (while surviving the fall). Scar and Grian scheme, however Impulse (their planned target) runs away.

ImpulseSV shoots Ethoslab with his flame bow, burning him to a crisp. Impulse is attacked by the Iron Golem. The Red Army takes this opportunity to charge in, and killed ImpulseSV, bringing him to his last life. Just after ImpulseSV's death, TangoTek charges towards the Red Army, but he is quickly struck down by the Red Army and burns to a crisp.

Scar and Grian, on the top of their base, decide it is time to jump down and start fighting. Using an arrow of slow falling, they levitate to the floor and help their allies.

While cheering, BigBst4tz2 is shot in the back by Grian, killing him and bringing him to his last life. Rendog and InTheLittleWoods immediately retreat underground. Rendog goes back up to engage Scar, but he is attacked by an Iron Golem and subsequently shot by Scar. Enraged, InTheLittleWood charges at Scar, but he is also shot down, ending the battle.

Summary & Reception
The Final Battle of Dogwarts marked the end of the Red Army. With their enemies gone, the Pizza Alliance disbanded. Some say that the Final Battle of Dogwarts was one of the most intense battles that occurred during 3rd Life, while others argue that the Battle of the Red Desert was the most intense.

The battle left the server in absolute dismay. Almost all facilities where rendered unsuitable for living and only Grian, GoodTimesWithScar, BdoubleO100, ImpulseSV and Bigbst4tz2 survived the battle, and not for much after. ImpulseSV died to BdoubleO100 (from a clock bribe), and Grian and Bigbst4tz2 suffered a similiar fate. Finally, BdoubleO100 died to Grian, leaving only GoodTimesWithScar and Grian.

The battle, as said prior, destroyed all alliances except the Scar-Grian Alliance. This led to a collapse of the entire server, and eventually led to Scar and Grian being the only two members remaining.
