The Battle of Howick

The Battle of Howick was the first engagement between The Secret Society and the Provinces of Lumen in the Microwave-TSS War. On the 11th November 2020, TSS members ohKast, commandervv and Queueue_ attacked Howick Plains, a recruitment town belonging to Lumen, in retaliation for The Battle of Aska. It ended as a victory for TSS, since they had griefed the town thoroughly.

Background
On the 11th November 2020, The Battle of Aska took place. Seeing Annick30 at The Battle of Aska as well as The Battle of Lagom combined with information from Annick30 and a couple of other highly trusted informants stating that Annick30 was a member of M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E. in an effort to dismantle the group under the orders of the Provinces of Lumen led The Secret Society to believe that the Provinces of Lumen were involved in the grief, and was just getting M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E. to go after TSS and make sure Lumen remained on top. Annick30's presence in The Battle of Aska was increasingly pressing due to promises made to inform The Secret Society of future attacks against them given knowledge acquired from Annick30's efforts to inside M.I.C.R.O.W.A.V.E. directly following The Battle of Lagom. Tensions were already high, and this was the final straw for TSS, so they began moving out to Howick Plains with the intention of griefing it.

Microwave's Involvement
A group of TSS members were spotted forming on the nether highway by Najivka, who informs EdgyCommunist69 about them heading west. Edgy planned to follow them, thinking that they were moving to Gelato, but was surprised to find that TSS members were killing Lumen members in chat. He had coordinates to Howick already, and so both him and Najivka made their ways there.

Battle at the town
The unprepared Lumen defenders were quickly killed, including GuiltfulTuna, spraye and McDapper. By the time EdgyCommunist69 arrived, the town was already badly griefed. commandervv fled when Edgy arrived, but Queueue and ohKast didn't, and began fighting Edgy in a 2v1. Eventually they too had to withdraw, as Edgy managed to pop many of their totems.

Aftermath
TSS would face a lot of backlash for attacking Lumen, and many people would ally against them. After a couple of days, and TSS's capital being griefed, Lumen and TSS came to a peace agreement.
