Ye' Grand OOC Thread

Sorry Mordkaiser isn't here right now, please leave your name and promise for cake at the beep.

Apologies again everyone. Thought I could try to keep up constant RP here, but seems I cant. Holla if you need me.

Important news regarding the special troops and the berserkers in particular: The plain Pendor knights recruitable from estates are now considered Pendor foot knights (as most orders already have Pendor mounted knights in the form of retainers). Their skills have been appropriately adjusted and you can now fully consider the berserkers equal to these regarding skills and stats, i.e. 6 foot melee skill instead of usual 4 for Dawn knights, but only 3 mounted melee skill instead of usual 7 for Dawn knights.

coolios

Dang now I've been taken out.

Good luck Daedr0th

surrender?

The GM Azlanek has forsaken us, quickly we must prepare a sacrifice to regain his favour!

Hmmmmm, who ratted us out. I bet it was that fiddler on the roof.

I can only think of one major character who could have betrayed us. Rodrick. Blaze doesn't have the depravity to betray us to the Red Dawn.

But ... we can still kill the fiddler right?

There was no way for me to escape and I didn't want to die a pretty lame death.

You can't die in this rp. Plus, your probably just going to die an even more lame death by being burned or tortured. They weren't looking to capture us, they were going to kill us by burning us alive.

For the people! By the people! Brought to you by Blaze®

If you want to search for Roderick, say so. Talking about not having seen him will not miraculously summon him .


And while it is true that we will not kill your characters without your consent, your characters do not bloody know that. I like that Thaddeus kept this in mind, whether this was a wise choice or not.

Oh, before I forget, Thaddeus, if you want to, you can jump in as the leader of those Gauntlet knights who are left outside the city

silvermist aswell?

Cant you all just arrive at the same time so i can argue with you once?

Also do we count this as the eve of battle, cause if it is Merzinas should probs head off with the squires and prepare the ruse.

Had you planned to give Fitzmerwill another reply, Aranor, or shall we just go on?

Could it be, that there is a slight geographical confusion regarding the map Aranor? Javiksholm does not have a western gate. (Note that on the map of Javiksholm north is to the left, not up.)

EDIT: I made a mistake, too. I wrote south-western where it should have been south-eastern.

Oh sorry! Brain fart

I'll go to fixing it.

Bieng a port city, the port has got anti ship weaponry in the main harbour.

"Harbour (District 5): Javiksholm's harbour has over the years seen his fair share of Vaskerry invasions and at some point the lords of the city took precautions to protect their city from raiders. The entrance to the bay is guarded by watchtowers and catapults." - Azlanek

Theres also a good chance that they have placed iron bars over all the sewer grates, making it nearly impossible to get through them.

Azlanek... That was not there before! I smell trickery!

Well anyways...

I doubt that the Red Dawn put iron bars over the sewer grates.

i mean the city would have allready had them there

Well it does not hurt to try.

it will if we catch dysentry from the sewer

I dont know who is offering to go up shit creek but they certainly wont have a paddle, or even a boat.

Oh true. Maybe we won't be going in the sewers....

Sir Aranor points towards the eastern southern gatehouse.

"If my troops inside the city don't open the gates for us by dawn, I shall give the call to send forth the ladders we have assembled, covered by our militia archers. When our troops storm the walls and take the gatehouse, we can do the switch, the militia archers will march to the southern south-western gate, while the Silvermists sprint up. You can then take to the walls, and hopefully snipe the knights that will come for us while we make a foothold in the city."

Sir Aranor points towards the northern eastern gatehouse.

"We are currently planning to divert the Red Dawn's attention here as well. We have gathered supplies and horses to stage a mock cavalry charge led by a group of squires. That, combined with your attack, will either
1. Split the enemy between those two gates
2. They'll think that the western northern gate is the real attack, and come there, letting you thin out the east south wall and let us take that district quick.
or 3. They will think that the eastern southern attack, is actually the real attack, and then we can storm the northern eastern gate and flank them."

Is that what you wanted to say?

No. The distraction is happening at the northern gate. (gate to the far left)
The main charge would happen at the eastern gate (near district 7)
