Chapter 1- Many Meetings


The World

http://g.imagehost.org/0434/maptn.png (http://g.imagehost.org/view/0434/maptn)

It is midday, and sun is sitting in the clear blue sky. The road leading from Federation to kingdom of Haran has seen little travellers this day, as the major trading caravans have travelled it weeks ago, carrying their goods towards Federation. Sometimes lone travellers or little groups of people have traversed this major trade route, but all know travelling alone is dangerous. Bandits have been sighted along nearly every road, much to annoyance of officials, and little has been done to put end to them. But today there are no bandits in sight, and though unnervingly empty, the road looks traversible. The weather is almost perfect, if not taking to account the heat which forces most to lessen their travelling clothing. Small clusters of woodland dot the edges of the road, and small village can be seen in the horizon, marking the outer edges of civilization. Far on eastern horizon loom the mountains marking the boarder of Haran and Tarsus.

[TheSummoner]

Solam is traveling down the road (with the green team), reading as he walks as he often does. He pauses for a second.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Its going to rain today"

As if there was nothing odd about stopping in the middle of the road and declaring that the beautiul and sunny day would soon turn to rain, he continues walking while reading.

[nothingclever]

Oswald marched along with his companions and spoke to no one in particular, "The road may have been safe so far but there is no guarantee that it will stay this way. We must be actively on guard at all times in case of an emergency if we want to ensure a smooth journey."

OOC: When I have a portrait I'll edit it in. I'm on Team Blue for clarification.

[Bracket]

Daren muttered under his breath, "Hopefully something does happen. I swear if I don't get to use my bow soon, it'll start rusting..."

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld walks with an air of overflowing confidence, his armor reflecting the sun off of it's dark hide in a dazzling display. "Don't worry about it Daren, with all the trouble there's been, we're bound to at least spot a thief along these roads." He smiles mischievously, resting his hand on his sword hilt. "After all, who would deny a chance to test his metal against a lord and his company?"

[Geno9999]

Alex simply stays silent the whole time. After all, he was just paid to escort, not to strike up conversations with everyone else. Still...
"Why do you think it's going to rain? I know that weather can change in a matter of minutes, but rain on a day like this is unlikely."

[Bracket]

Daren sighed, "I suppose you're right, Resfeld. After all, anyone a league a way could see that garish armor of yours. We should run into someone eventually."

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Hmm?"

Solam looks up from his book.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Call it instinct... Those capable of wielding magic are a bit more sensitive to subtle changes around us like the kind that would signal a coming storm."

[nothingclever]

"I prefer that we not run into any trouble but at least if we are attacked by brigands we will be able to rid other less bloodthirsty travelers of a potential threat by killing them," said Oswald.

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld bursts out laughing, "Yes I suppose that's true, although I think bored might be a better word than bloodthirsty, there hasn't been anything to do since... well, not in a long time, I'm afraid I might be getting a bit rusty." Resfeld continues chuckling, the smallest trace of the words "garish armor" can be heard along with his snickering. Eventually, he turns to Karius, "What about you Darius? Do you think this peace will hold up?"

[tgva8889]

At that moment, Karius seems to appear behind the group, as though he had been there the whole time. "I scouted far ahead of time, there has not been much activity along this road recently." Looking off into the distance, Karius seems elsewhere for a moment, then turns back to the group. "Of course, anyone that should be on this road should either be friendly or weak. Our force alone should be enough." Despite this comment, Karius's hand does seem to hover along his belt for a while. "As for the peace...From what I remember, I doubt we will have to worry much longer about that." He smiles slightly at the thought but says nothing further.

"Resfeld, should I take the lead and scout ahead further or remain with the group?"

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld turns his head for a moment, considering. "You might as well, there isn't much else to do with the day."

[nothingclever]

Oswald turned to face Resfeld as he walked. "If the peace doesn't hold and we are forced to go to war again I personally won't mind one bit. I'd rather fight alongside you in a more formal capacity against a clearly defined enemy instead of random highwaymen and assassins. I worry about how our citizens will fare though."

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
A glint appears in Resfelds eyes, "Random highwaymen don't burn down villages and leave people for dead Shield. Nothing is worth that price, nothing." His voice turns cold, a soft, yet determined tone that matches his face which holds a strange feel of determination.

[nothingclever]

Oswald wasn't sure what Resfeld meant. "I think you might have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to say I wanted the peace to end or that ridding the land of bandits isn't important. I just prefer fighting in more of an organized military style. I like to know exactly who and where our enemies are."

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld seems to shake himself back to reality, before turning to face Oswald. "Hmm? Oh you mean... sorry about that it's just..." He shuddered, "It was just my first time seeing that sort of carnage, last winter I mean. I'm glad it's over, over and done, but yet... but yet I also know at any second war could break out with even more destruction and hate than before." He sighed, mumbling to himself "I didn't ask for any of this, all I wanted was to live an entertaining life with out a care in the world." His eyes turn wistfully to a bird circling overhead, but even such morose thoughts fail to keep Resfeld down for long, turning to Oswald he grins, "Why don't you and I have a skirmish right here, you know, just to pass the time." His sword is already out of his sheath, ready to strike as soon as the fight begins.

[TheSummoner]

(So... Grim, why don't you let me know what I'm reading in this book? ^_^)

[nothingclever]

"If the circumstances were different I'd point out the danger of having a duel out in the open like this but since it appears that we are alone I accept your proposal. Feel free to come at me now." Oswald readied his lance and shield and braced himself for whatever would come his way.

[Bracket]

After hearing the word "skirmish" Daren moved a few meters away from Resfeld and sat on the ground. Even if he wasn't in the fight, watching it was better than complete boredom.

[tgva8889]

Karius nods to Resfeld and then seems to disappear from the group again.

He seems to appear again as the others prepare for a spar against each other. "I would be wary of fighting each other now, Resfeld. We can't have you going into a fight without being fully prepared. I'm good, but I'm not omnipotent. It's possible that someone is out there that I have yet to notice." Before anyone can respond, however, Karius is simply gone again.

[Bracket]

Daren shook his head. "It beats doing nothing. They may as well be ready for combat when it comes. Plus, we have plenty of vulner-"

Daren noticed that Karius wasn't there, and he was talking to nobody.

"...Wish he'd stay in one place."

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld shrugs and turns back towards Oswald, a familiar smile slipping into place as his sword becomes alive with motion.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/Xondlord-2.png

[aje8]

OOC: I have no response to the whole mage thing..... thus I'm going to totally ignore it.
For those who missed my comments on the OOC thread, we all went on a mission after a tip-off by a trusted soilder that a count or earl was traitiorous. We found no evidence.

General Blackstone: Frustated
"I can't believe the mission was an utter failure. We marched all the way out here, me in full armor I might add, infiltrated the mansion, without alerting a single guard...... only to find that there was nothing incrimininating anywhere within the place." The General pauses for a second, "Oh and now we're going to a damn political meeting with the king's advisor...... I hate that mumbo-jumbo." The way he says political makes it sound like a curse word. "Ugh..... At this point I'm activley hoping we're attacked by a wandering Tarus patrol or something. I love to take out some frustration on those villanous dogs."

[nothingclever]

Oswald mostly tried to block Resfeld's strikes with his shield and only struck back at him when he felt he had a good opening. He figured fighting defensively was the best course of action since neither of them would be likely to get hurt and both could focus on their technique.

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "I wouldn't call it a complete failure... his library was pretty loaded... books I've never even heard of back home!"

Solam continues marching, desperately trying to hide the mischevious look on his face.

[aje8]

"Wait.... did you take any? If you did, he'll know someone infiltrated his base, which means if he IS a traitor, he'll turn tail and run..... we'll have no chance to catch him now....... did you at least take something militarily relevant? A deadly spell or some such?"

[TheSummoner]

Solam reaches into his bag and begins pulling out countless books. After several minutes of rummaging, he produces a small, leather bound book.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Its a journal. I haven't found anything incriminating yet, but its hard for me to stay focused... its so... boring..."

This is something he has never said about a book before.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Constant droning idiocy... It doesn't hold my attention for long..."

[aje8]

OOC: I wish I had portrait to post with my stuff.

General Blackstones mood noticeably improves. "I knew there was a reason I brought you on this mission.... this could be just what we need. It is possible that he didn't put anything traitorous in the journal, but if that's the case I'm willing to assume we can trust him." The Duke then pasues for a moment and realizes something "However if it's too boring for you of all people to read, there's no way any of the rest of us could finish it. we might have to get a scribe or some such to look it over for us."

Just BTW Geno.... do you ever play non merc characters.... this characater and the one in Shade's game are both like: I'm payed to fight. That's me.

Oh and Kasanip: I'm assuming it was me and the other two on the mission and we found you with no memory on the way home. It makes a lot of sense as we're traveling near our border with the merchant states.

[Shades of Gray]

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away

Cole is studying. Read page. Flip. Read. Flip. New book. Read. New book. Scratch head wondering if he already read this one. Flip. Draw notes on wall with chalk. Flip. Read. Flip. Erase chalk notes. Sighs.

I'm taking my five-minute break now dad. He says, alone in his cottage. He wades through his room, full of scrolls and books and whatnot. He gets a small bit of stale bread and water from the river, eat. Drink. Sit. Read. Flip. New book. Sigh.

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Its boring because theres absolutly no information in it whatsoever! Why should I care what day his son came to visit or who he met with?!?"

[Kasanip]

(ooc: we never really worked this out... I was kind of expecting her to be recruited at a town, so the 'background' for her joining this group is rather sudden)

Celeste trotted along behind the others, looking around as if distracted by the beautiful scenery around them. Of course, to anyone else it would be but an ordinary road, but before she had been picked up by the three at the last town, she could remember nothing of this place. She frowned, slowing her pace as she strained, trying to grasp any glimmer of information in the emptiness that were her memories. Where were they? So far the three others had been engulfed in their own talk, and she was starting to wonder if had really been a good idea to come with them.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: ...

[Grim ranger]

As Karius scouts ahead, the supposed meeting place finally starts to come near, and there is activity. Two royal knights of Haran flank the road, holding their weapons ready and advancing onwards at steady pace, their heavy armour clanking slightly. Between them strides man in white robes and blue hair, leaning slightly on healing staff. They walk onwards for while and then stop, apparently taking a break from their travel towards nearby village. The decorations on the white robes are royal purple, marking the staff-wielder as member of nobility.

"Found them...", Karius mutters and begins his way back towards the rest of the group to bear the news.

OOC:
Meh, I guess you guys could have found his journal, no sweat there. It's these little details in which players most often want free hands with anyways...

As for Celeste, I guess you can just roll with this, Kasanip? I don't think we need any more complications to this plot than it already has, hmm? :smalltongue:

Oh, and by the way, if you have not yet figured it out, the hooded fellow is the advisor you are supposed to meet now :smalltongue:. Feel free to catch up with him and start a talk, though I can only answer a bit later so hold your horses with it:smallbiggrin:

Oh, and just blue team members are there for start, green team needs to wait until they arrive on map 1


@V: oh no, no no no... battle is not going to start yet, oh no. Blue team's thief just spotted the advisor, no one else even knows about him yet, EXPECIALLY NOT THE GREEN TEAM, WHO ARE STILL ON THEIR WAY. I ask you to modify that post, please.

[Geno9999]

Just BTW Geno.... do you ever play non merc characters.... this characater and the one in Shade's game are both like: I'm payed to fight. That's me.

Oh and Kasanip: I'm assuming it was me and the other two on the mission and we found you with no memory on the way home. It makes a lot of sense as we're traveling near our border with the merchant states.

Well, I do play as an insane shaman in Summoner's game. But if you want, I can retcon Alex to being... some sort of army guard or something.

"It could tell us his daily routine, but beyond that, I don't see any... Wait, general? I think I see the people you're suppose to meet up ahead... I looks like a battle is going to start... orders, sir?" Edit: Sorry 'bout that.

"*sigh* I should have known that was a waste. ah well. Though, I could use some combat, I hope my blade isn't rusty."

[TheSummoner]

(I specifically left out any evidence in there so taking it wouldn't interfere with whatever you had planed... depending on what route you want to take, it could be a crucial piece of evidence... or a worthless waste of time

Or he could just be innocent... Really dont know yet...)

[aje8]

Well, I do play as an insane shaman in Summoner's game. But if you want, I can retcon Alex to being... some sort of army guard or something.
Nah, it's cool. It doesn't bother me too much, it was just a note. Also, 2 characters of 3 does not = a trend.

Waiting for Geno to edit his post as Grim says we don't see anything right now.

@Kasanip: Do you want the group to already know you don't remember anything or find out now? If the latter, I'll make small talk about where you'll form and all that and find that you can't remember literally anything.

[Kasanip]

@Aje8: (let's assume that the other three learned this when they picked her up in the town... The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a good reason why she is traveling with them... I'm guessing that she is hoping that she will remember something or find someone who knows her when she gets to a large town/city, rather than being stuck out in the middle of nowhere, and traveling with them is safer than trying by herself.)


After a little while, Celeste realized she was falling behind and increased her pace to try and catch up.
http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "Ah...Excuse me, Lord...? What is our destination?

[aje8]

"We recieved word from the King's advisor shortly before we picked you up, asking for an audience with him at a given spot on the road. We're heading for that location now. Despite what Alex and myself would like, it should be a relativley safe journey. The Merchant states are not known for their hostility, though theres always the risk of a suprise attack by Tarus."

(Does Celeste recall the geographical and politcal information about the area? If not, what I just said isn't going to make much sense.)

[Kasanip]

(ooc: She's pretty much down to the bare knowledge she would have learned at the inn, and her name - nothing else)

She frowned. None of those names sounded familiar. She had heard some talk at the inn while she had been there, but not much more than traveler's tales.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "I see... Is Tarus an enemy? Are we at war?

[aje8]

"Tarus? They're our eternal enemy..... they have attacked us numerous times, war after war, battle after battle, some of the worst atrocities every commited happened at their hands...... now we have signed a peace treaty with them. But neither I nor any other Haran(ian?) expects it to last long. "

[Kasanip]

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "Ah... I hope the peace will last then.

She said, subdued. Hopefully at the next city at least, she would be able to find someone who could help her with her amnesia.

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "As for me, I'd like this trip to be as quick and easy as possible... Never really cared for these little interruptions I get sent on every so often..."

Solam puts his current book away and pulls out a new one... a very new one that someone with a keen eye might realize he didn't have when they embarked on their journey. He flips through the pages for a while and then holds it up to Celeste.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "That is Tarsus, and this is where we are now. We're headed here."

He says, pointing out each location on the map from the book.

(Maybe I should've made a thief ^_^)

[Kasanip]

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "I see...Thank you, was it..Solam? Could I perhaps borrow this book?"

She asks sheepishly. Though the map was foreign to her, it was a good idea for Celeste to at least memorize it, so she was not completely lost all the time.

[Xondoure]

(so... I guess since the duel never got calculated we will consider it a draw)
Edit: Unless of course Grim would be so kind as to give us the results...

[TheSummoner]

Solam hesitates.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Yes... sure... no problem..."

He hands over the book, but seems quite reluctant to do so.

[Geno9999]

Akex turs to Celeste, "Are you sure you don't remember anything from before we found you? Besides you first name, you have no idea about almost everything."

[Kasanip]

She looks downcast and shakes her head reluctantly in response to Alex's question.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "I can't... I keep hoping that something will trigger memories...but so far nothing has worked... I wish I knew why."

[Geno9999]

"Well, if it helps any, I hope you find out about who you are. But you do seem to know how to use staves, so it might be possible that you were a cleric of some church." said Alex.

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Shes a healer?"

Solam asks, having completly ignored them going over that fact when they first met her.

[Kasanip]

That little suggestion seemed to give her some hope, and Celeste smiled, looking brighter and more energetic than any of the others had seen her yet.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "That is true... I mean, it's not like I have lost absolutely everything. I can still use this!"

She showed off the staff she had been using as a walking stick. It had not occurred to her that she may well have been a cleric of a church somewhere, but it did make sense, especially since she still remembered the healing arts. In fact, she could well be returning to her home in only a few days journey - and the priests would certainly be able to help her, right? Filled with renewed hope, Celeste looked at the map again, and then handed the book back to Solam.

[aje8]

OOC:

Does anyone know if Grim has left yet?

Grim, if you're still here, I think it would be reasonable for our group to come to..... whatever it is we're going to come to. Conversation seems to have come to a halt.

[Bracket]

((He said he was leaving Tuesday - yesterday))

[aje8]

(Then I guess we're not starting the map.)

[Grim ranger]

(OOC: just because I am away does not mean I do not hear you :smalltongue:. Sadly, my chances of coming online are very random and short, so expect no updates for now, people :smallfrown:

But yes, I will be gone for 4 more days, so you have to wait that long at least. After that you can start some social chitchat with advisor and then we can get 1st map rolling)

[TheSummoner]

Solam seems unusually interested.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Really now... I'd like to see this..."

Quickly, he turns and blasts a nearby deer with thunder magic, injuring it but leaving it alive.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Show me your technique."

Solam watches with anticipation... either to see the healing or at the very least get a meal.

(Edit: Just noticed... one of the places on the map, Delius, shares the name of one of my superbosses... Dellius... coincidence or homage?)

[Kasanip]

Celeste looked horrified for a moment.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.png Celeste: "Y-you! You JERK!"

With a swift and graceful motion, she lifted her staff up above her head...

...And brought it crashing down on Solam's skull with a loud CRACK!

Running over to the deer as fast as her legs can carry her, she falls to her knees and runs the staff over it's body, and concentrates. A pale blue light emanated from the end of the staff, and after a minute the deer slowly stood up and then leaped off into the woods.

Celeste stood with a sigh and dusted herself off before returning to the trio. She looked down at Solam with a disapproving glare.

[TheSummoner]

After being whacked, Solam staggers and falls backwards into the mud, spilling most of the books out of his bag, ruining them.

He looks down into the swirl of paper and muck with an astonished and disgusted expression which soon changes to rage.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "You... You idiotic woman! Look at what you've done!!!"

He reaches for his Thunder Tome, miraculously intact

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Do you have any idea how much those cost me? How difficult it was to acquire some of them!?! I didn't even get to read some of them yet!!!"

Solam gets to his feet, holding his tome threateningly

[Kasanip]

As the now muddy-clothed mage stood before her, Celeste balled her hands into quivering fists, a mix of pain, anger, and hurt emotions swirling on her face.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "I thought you were a nice person before when you were helping me. But you...y-you value your books more than lives! How could you hurt something so innocent like that?!"

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Its fine now, isn't it!? Unless you were lieing about your abilities, its life was never in danger in the first place! And even if you were, a meal would be nice about now..."

[Kasanip]

Celeste didn't look too pleased with Solam's dismissal of her worries.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "That doesn't mean you can go around flaunting your power like a bully! Just because someone is there to heal the pain you cause doesn't mean you should do it!"

She crossed her arms over her chest and looked up at Solam imperiously.

"And if you were hungry you should just have gotten some food from your pack."

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "There isn't any in there..."

[Kasanip]

The burning mood seemed to dissipate as silence surrounded the pair for a minute until Celeste gave an absolutely epic sigh. She took her own pack off and rummaged through it.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "Then here...take some of mine."

She procured a wrapped loaf of bread and handed it to Solam.

"Honestly... traveling without food?"

[TheSummoner]

*OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM*

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "brought some... *chomp* had to... *gulp* make room in my... *chomp* bag. *gulp*"

He wipes as many of the crumbs off himself as he can.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Figured I'd be able to catch something if I got too hungry... you'd be surprised how easy fishing is when you can electrify an entire lake..."

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld ends panting, hoisting his blade back into his sheath he grins at Oswald. "A perfect defense as always Shield. You won this one so that makes 15 to you, 13 to me, and 9 draws."

[nothingclever]

Oswald put his shield and lance away. "Well I don't really like to keep score. All that matters is that you keep improving and you definitely have been. You did very well this time as usual."

[aje8]

(Just a note, I'm not dead or anything. The duke just doesn't have much to say about the whole Celeste/Solam deal. I have been keeping up with my half of the thread)

[Geno9999]

Alex watched his two robed allies amused at their interaction.
"Good grief, you two sound too much like an old couple.
Though some dear meat would be nice, especially with some nice spicy sauce to go with it..."

[Bracket]

"Well, if you two are finished we should probably get going. Shooting trees for target practice gets boring after some time. Especially since they don't move or react or anything."

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "I tried... No way in hell I'm doing it again after what happened..."

[Kasanip]

Celeste looks with utter disbelief at the two before shaking her head and running to catch up with the lord.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "Honestly! The nerve of some people!"

She mutters to herself. Just who ARE these people?!

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Finally, Resfeld sighed and continued on their way. "Come on men, we don't want to keep our dear advisor waiting, now do we?"

[nothingclever]

"Of course not." Oswald began his march again beside Resfeld.

[TheSummoner]

As Solam walks, he fusses over his books, trying furiously to clean them as best as he can. Every so often, he'll either sigh in disappointment and let one drop on the road or let out a small cheer of victory as he manages to save one.

[aje8]

As Celeste catches up with Blackstone.

"Look, Celeste, I know my team can be a bit..... eccentric at times. Thing is, they're good at what they do and I needed shall we say a special skill set for this mission. Additionally, given a mission this difficult, I needed the best, even if they don't perhaps value life as much as they should."

[Geno9999]

"What did you expect from a mercenary? a guy that runs around shouting 'Let's be friends!'?" Alex mutters.

[Kasanip]

Celeste pouted but didn't complain aloud anymore as the group continued along their way.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "I know..."

[TheSummoner]

Solam nudges Alex

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Ha! A mercenary who fights for his friends, hilarious!"

[aje8]

"Ha! A mercenary who fights for his friends, hilarious!"
OOC: lololololololololol.

[Grim ranger]

As Resfeld's team makes their way further down the road, they encounter reassuring sight: two royal knights of Haran stand by the sides of the road, and between them stands the person you they have been travelling to meet. His Exellency, the Royal Advisor Sumar of Kingdom of Haran stands between the imposing figures of armour-clad knights, leaning slightly on staff. Despite looking rather frail compared to the knights, he still manages to eminate power and confidence.

http://h.imagehost.org/0617/King_s_advisor.png (http://h.imagehost.org/view/0617/King_s_advisor)
"So, you showed up after all, prince Resfeld"

Sumar makes slight bow of the head while the knights bow to one knee. After adjusting his robe slightly, he continues.

"As you know, I called you to meet me here. It is because I have some very urgent news, news which I think you would be very interested in. General blackstone was also called to this meeting, but it seems he has yet to arrive..."

He stops suddenly and turns around, dodging an arrow heading straight to his head. One of the knights responds immidiately, changing his grip on the javelin and hurling it to the place arrow emerged from. There is shriek and trashing archer drops from the nearby tree branch, trying to futilely pull the javelin from his chest. He is wearing red and green uniform colours of Tarsus military.

"Well, it seems that this meeting will be postponed slightly", Sumar notes in rather shaky tone and retreats between the knights.

"We must fight off this cowardly attack or these news will never reach the king! You arrived at fine moment indeed"

Further down the road the now-obvious ambushers emerge from hiding and start to advance on Resfeld's position. Hooded and robed figure can be seen on the back of the ambushing force, leading the attack.

"Bring me their heads within an hour, or I will console myself with yours"

OOC: The map will be posted tomorrow. Members of the blue team, you can rp the pre-battle as you wish, as long as you do not write any attacks yet. Green teamers could hear the scream, but very faintly. They will arrive in midst of battle, so I will tell when that time is. Now you have to console yourself with worrying :smalltongue:

Blue teamers: be ready to start map by tomorrow. Check and recheck things, if you would bother :smallsmile:

And no, none of you can hear the enemy leader guy yet :smalltongue:

[Bracket]

"Amateur. That's not how you shoot a bow."

Daren jumped onto his horse and took out his bow.

"Let me show you how it's done. I've been waiting a while for this."

[Xondoure]

(Pssssst, I already use purple as speech text)
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld's blade immediately springs from his sheath placing himself in front of the advisor he yells "Get back sir, my team can handle this!" He turns grinning slightly to Oswald, Well, it looks like both of us got what we wanted Shield.
Ready to party Daren! Shield, stay by me and work a path though this rabble, Karius, stay behind us until you see an opening, Daren, do your thing." Laughing like a mad man, Resfeld swiftly brings his tactical prowess into battle, a born leader with a habit of cutting things into tiny pieces.

[Geno9999]

Alex suddenly flinches when he hears some noise.
"Did anyone else hear that? I thought I heard screaming..." and cautiously reaches for his sword while trying to pinpoint the cry.

[nothingclever]

Oswald steps in front of Resfeld to protect him from any other potential ranged attacks and begins to scan the battlefield to assess the numbers and positioning of the enemy forces without saying anything.

[Kasanip]

Celeste gives Alex a very peeved glare.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "That's low! Trying to scare me now after acting so insulting! Hmmph. Cut out your childish games already!"

[aje8]

Celeste: "That's low! Trying to scare me now after acting so insulting! Hmmph. Cut out your childish games already!"

"No, I heard it too..... it sounded like a scream...... double time to the meeting spot, the king's advisor may be in danger!" Blackstone then begins charging ahead at a ridiculous rate despite his heavy armor.

[TheSummoner]

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Oh of all the idiotic... It was probably just a bird or something!"

Solam scrambles to get his things together, because despite his protests, he knows hes going to be dragged along, with or without them.

[aje8]

(So.... wasn't there going to be a map today?)

[Grim ranger]

(Sorry, some unexpected Real Life stuff came into way, but tomorrow it will be up)

[Xondoure]

(Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)

[Bracket]

(Sorry, some unexpected Real Life stuff came into way, but tomorrow it will be up)

(But it's never tomorrow! It's always one day away.)

Daren listened to Resfeld's plan

"Sounds good to me. They'll regret getting in our way."

[Grim ranger]

"Sir, they are forming up! Prince Resfeld is amongst them! Should we retreat?"

The hooded figure chants short incantion at the cowardly soldier, killing him easily with burst of dark magic and turning his covered face towards the rest of his troops.

http://a.imagehost.org/0078/portchara2.png (http://a.imagehost.org/view/0078/portchara2)
"He was the first idiot to throw his life away, but certainly not the last if you do not obey my orders without question. Either you fight and have slight chance of survival or I kill you myself. Which one do you choose, hmm?"

This little speech clearly shocks the rest of the ambushers and they start to advance with reneved effort.

OOC: Okay, guys, long wait is over. First map is here! :smallbiggrin:

Members of blue team, pick your starting spots and make your starting moves. Green team, I will inform you clearly when you come in.

(First impressions: You're better at making maps than Shades =P, even if theres is a bit of pixely ugliness...

Advise: Generally, with mounted knights, you should specify what type they are in the info block (Lance Knight and Bow Knight in this case). Makes things less confusing

Also, you really should keep track of the player stats as well... makes things easier for everyone and also helps you to make sure there are no mistakes in our favor... accidental or otherwise... I've been on Shades' back about doing that from the beginning =/)

[aje8]

(Why is it that the king's adivsor is EXTREMELY fast and accurate? Was an expert swordsman in his youth or something?

I get that is bodyguards are some of the best in the land, but why is he himself any good in a fight?)

Well, he did not rise to the position by politicking. He was a merc before getting by some serious fortune, bying estate, and you know the rest.

(I could make an update if Karius would just do something. Now he has not posted move and update is delayed, because I want to be merciful and give him time. Argh, what a dilemma :smallmad:)

[tgva8889]

Karius

Appearing as the shot is fired, Karius speaks quickly to Resfield as the battle begins. "Foes around, seems to be an ambush. Probably planned, must be a leak in the ranks. Remind me to check when we get back." With that, Karius bounds off into the forest.

First impressions:
You really should keep track of the player stats as well... makes things easier for everyone and also helps you to make sure there are no mistakes in our favor... accidental or otherwise... I've been on Shades' back about doing that from the beginning =/

+ 1

[tgva8889]

(I'm confused, team. Why did you think this move was a good idea?)

[TheSummoner]

(Resfield and Oswald should've gotten support for the counterattack where Oswald missed. You don't have to hit to gain support or weapon exp, only to deal damage and reduce weapon durability... and get more than 1 exp =P)

[Bracket]

(I'm confused, team. Why did you think this move was a good idea?)

I came up with it on the spot as a backup move in case you didn't post. I asked if it were an okay move, to which nobody responded.

[tgva8889]

(Oh, okay. That's fine, then.)

[tgva8889]

Karius

Seeing that he's in over his head, Karius pulls back out of the direct line of combat, hoping his allies can lure the foes into range.

Move to C14

[nothingclever]

Assuming Resfeld moves from his spot Oswald will move to E10 and use a vulnerary.

[Bracket]

Daren shoots an arrow at the myrmidon who hit Resfeld, and then steers his horse backward into a more strategic location

Attack: Myrmidon at E9
Extra Move: F14

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld curses as Oswald shoves him unceremoniously away from the fray, wincing as blood seeps from the wound in his side. His hand fumbles for a moment, as he lunges into his sack for a vulnerary. Quickly spreading the paste over the wound, he sits back, grinding his teeth as the flesh burns, and knits back together. "They're tougher than I thought, we need to stay cautious, one wrong move could be the end of us. Still," He grinned, "They won't last long against my blade!"

Move: E14
Action: Use vulnerary
HP: 20/20
Support:
Oswald: 2/5
Daren: 1/5
Karius: 0/5

[aje8]

(Psst, Grim Ranger: It's impossible to get 2 support points in 1 turn, in the games at least. That means if Oswald got +1 Support with Resfeild when Resfeild entered combat, then they CAN'T build up that same support when Oswald enters combat. This is because supports are checked all at once at the end of the turn.)

Resfeld's eyes sweep over the battlefield, hardening as he sees blood fly left and right. He lingers for a minute to ease the pain in his side while shouting orders to his men. "Master Sumar, Get your men behind mine, we need to get you away from the battlefield or my grandfather will kill me. Shield, I need your lance over here. Daren, deal with that sorry excuse for a soldier would you? Karius, I need you to guard our flank from that big guy with the axe." Resfelds eyes turned once again to the far end of the field. "Let them come, we will make them sorry they were ever born. All we need to do is hold out until my uncle can make it here with his men!"

Move to H13 and wait.

[Bracket]

"Got it!"

Daren spotted the soldier that Resfeld was speaking of. He seemed to be inexperienced... having trouble lifting his lance. A perfect target. Daren urged his horse foreward and shot two arrows at the already wounded soldier.

(Move to F12. Attack soldier. Canto back to F14)

[tgva8889]

Stepping slightly to the side, Karius draws his knife, waiting for the enemies to approach so he can take advantage of his...talents.

(Move to D14)

Oswald moves to F13.

"We should just let them come to us for now."

Update rushed, so some small details will be corrected tomorrow

[tgva8889]

(So, wait, can I actually move 6 squares to reach that Fighter? Or did we just screw ourselves out of a Fighter Band?

Edit: No, I, in fact, cannot move 6 spaces. Great.)

[TheSummoner]

(Lets see... Green has two squishies, Celeste and myself... so we should take the two farthest from the mass of enemies... I'll take B6 and I think we should let Celeste get C7.)

[Kasanip]

(ooc: I assume you will start at A6, you mean Summoner?)

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "I-I don't believe this! We are walking straight into the battle! My lord, you are not honestly planning on attacking them straight on like this are you?"

Celeste will start from B7

[TheSummoner]

(Yeah... I meant that...)

[aje8]

To Celeste:
"Is it critical that we protect Sumar and my Nephew Resfeld. If that means risking our lives in combat, that's what what we'll have to do. However, a head on charge isn't what I had in mind."

Start at A4

To everyone:
"We need to let them come to us! It'll be nearly impossible to defeat their overwhelming numbers all at once. Celeste, stay behind me and alex. Solam, stay back, but be ready to provide magical support. Alex, you and I will take the front. But let me and my heavy armor take the brunt of it"

(Potential move: Simply move back 2 squares. If Alex also moves back 2 squares, then we're only exposed to the 2 soilde'rs and the archer's attacks. When the enemy Fighter, Mage and Shaman move closer to us next turn, we can take them out easily.)

[Grim ranger]

(Do I even have players anymore? :smallfrown:)

[Xondoure]

Blue is using my plan on the OOC thread, but we never posted here. Green I believe is missing one player to update.
Edit:

I could shove the fighter down, then Oswald could move to the fighter's present location and rescue me, allowing Karius to steal the fighter band, and Daren could then move in and rescue the thief. That way no one is in danger, and we get the band this turn.

Edit@V: pssst. Karius is a male, isn't he?

[tgva8889]

Karius

Karius moves through the group of allies, appearing near the fighter with blade in hand. With a swift movement, she steals the band from the fighter's pocket.

Move to wherever necessary and Steal the Fighter Band from the Fighter.

[Xondoure]

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7307/resfeldport3.png
Resfeld moves to I11 and shoves the fighter.
"Fighters shouldn't wear jewelry, let us take that off your hands." Resfeld laughs, winking at Karius.

[TheSummoner]

Solam pauses for a second to catch his breath from all the running. After a moment, he pushes the rest of his things back into his bag, abandoning everything he hasn't managed to save from the grime.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "You know these people? ... Well, that complicates things a bit... Which ones do I need to not kill?

(comeon... its been a week =/ I wanna zap things...)

[aje8]

Ok, my offical move is to move back 1 square. Alex should do the same and squishes should move back as much as possible.

"Resfeld is the purple haired youth with the sword. He and those helping him are on our side. Sumar is the robed man with the two towering bodyguards. Don't kill them or their men."

(Actually I doubt you could actually do anything to Sumar. He seems to be a high level mage with all the res that implies.)

[TheSummoner]

(I'll move from A6 to A7 so you can move back your two spaces, but not a step further. None of them can hit me this round, and I'd like to get a piece of the action, not run from it... Actually, if Blackstone and Alex only move one south of their starting points, we can lure the soldiers and archer into attacking, and then destroy them on the counterattack... might be a bit risky though)

[aje8]

(Summoner, we need to stay out of range of the mage and shaman..... they have 7 base magic. That means they deal 1/2 my health in a single shot. I need to stay out of both their ranges. Alex should probably do the same)

EDIT: Actually wait, I can move 1 square back and still stay out of their range.... barring mage attack, nothing is getting through mah 9 defense. Going with that plan.

[TheSummoner]

(The shaman is both marked as a boss and on an arrive space. I seriously doubt hes going to move... ever...

Moving 1 back will definatly lure the soldiers and archer into attacking you and/or alex. The fighter will also likely come along for the ride. Finishing off the soldiers wont be hard. Depending on who all moves and where our health is, we can decide whether to press into them or fall back into a more defensive position)

[aje8]

(*Facepalm* about the boss

Hum.... the soilders both have an awesome 4 str. This puts their damage at 4+7 (lance might)=11. 11-9 defense-1 weapon triangle=1 total damage to me.

The archer has 5 str, but an Iron bow has a measily 5 might. That means he'll deal me 1 damage as well. (5+5-9=1)

The Fighter fares much better. 7 str+8 weapon might=15. 15-9 defnese= 6 total damage to me.

6+1+1+1= 9. Not even 1/2 my health.

Note that those weapon might values are from my memory of Fe7 and so may not be correct given that this world is PoRish and that my memory isn't that great.)

[TheSummoner]

(Considering I'm in absolutly no danger either way and also quite lazy/preoccupied, I'm not going to check, but the might didn't vary much from the GBA ones to PoR/RD for most weapons, so even if you dont have it exactly right, its close enough...

However, given the choice, the Soldiers will probably target Alex, who they will deal more damage to as well as have a higher chance of hitting thanks to triangle.

And the fighter wont be able to attack you this turn if you move back one... unless he has a hand axe that I didnt check for notice)

[aje8]

(That's why maybe Alex should move back 2 while I move back 1. That would put him out of their range while I remain in their range.

[TheSummoner]

(However, doing that would give you all of the exp... Its really his choice if he wants to take that risk or not... Even if not, Alex and Solam could both share one kill of the weakened soldiers while you weaken the archer or fighter for the next round)

[aje8]

(It wouldn't actually give me that much exp because I can't double these guys. My attacks do 17-defense damage..... in otherwords not enough to kill any non-mage, so both soilders are living and the ranged dudes are too ready for the whole team to kill. My total exp after this turn will be 22+50 base...... not really that much. I'm not trying to hog exp, I'm just trying to keep everyone alive.

But yes, it's ultimatley Alex's decision, and I haven't done the math to see if he has a death chance or not.)

[Grim ranger]

(Where is Geno? Without him this game will stand still like in glue-laced tar :smallmad:)

[TheSummoner]

(You have three options.

1) PM him and let him know we need his move.

2) Take his move for him as you would an NPC.

3) Keep us waiting.

Personally, at this point I'd go with #2. If it happened again, #1, but this time its been too long for that already)

[aje8]

(Agree 100% with Summoner.

The move we decided for him is moving back 1-2 squares...... just have him do that so we can get on with this.)

[Grim ranger]

(Right, will do. You are suggesting his move to be to B7, then?)

(Expect update tomorrow if the answer is yes)

[Geno9999]

Sorry I haven't been responding; Life, school, etc.

Yes, I agree that Alex moves to B7. But as a side note, I'm practically a blind bat because the image-host-site-thingy is blocked.:smallannoyed:

Alex takes a quick glance at Celeste.
"And I suppose you want us to wait till they stop fighting? There's people that need protecting RIGHT. NOW. Not later, NOW." and draws his sword as if emphasizing his point.

[TheSummoner]

(Hmm... blindman eh? Grim, may I suggest using http://www.imageshack.us/ for future image hosting? Hes been in mine since the beginning and never complained of trouble seeing those.)

[Kasanip]

Celeste glares at Alex.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "What are you yelling about addle-brain!? I'm the one who's supposed to care for the wounded, YOU'RE the one who is supposed to do the protecting, and all I said was that running straight at them isn't going to help!"
She crosses her arms over her chest, pouting, but nods as Blackstone outlines their plan.

[Grim ranger]

(Okay, now that everyone has made their move final, I can finally get to work... expect update on saturday, because I have essay to do tomorrow and then I am just too darn tired and busy to do it tomorrow :smallsigh:)

[Grim ranger]

OOC: Well, first of all, I want to present my most tear-laden apologies for delaying this update. My life has been a mess recently, and not only because of schoolwork but also some relationship screw-ups... I hope you guys can give me a chance to keep this game alive? :smallfrown:

Also, as I saw no definite moves from some people, only planning, I went with definite facts and my best judgement. It might not present as ideal of an situation as it would have, but you all are still alive :smalltongue:

Player Turn:

All players make their moves. Due to some confusion on Alex’s movement (He planned to move to B7 in where Celeste is, and she did not post any move), he moves to B6 instead

[TheSummoner]

(looking... thinking...

Ok, the key is going to be keeping myself and Celeste safe... Blackstone is a man-wall with nothing to fear except that mage. Alex is fairly safe as well provided we keep his health up... Having trouble coming up with a strategy, partially because I don't have all of our stats readily available (Grim please post these with the enemy ones...), but if Alex can survive the counterattack, it might be a good idea to have him attack the mage... Celeste would have to heal him after that of course. After that, if the mage survived, I could finish him off and Blackstone could do something that would put him in a defensive position. Alternatively, I could attack the mage first, having the highest Res of our offensive units, but unless I can finish him off it seems like a waste...)

[Kasanip]

(time for the OOC thread tactics discussion!)

[aje8]

Move C6 and slash at the Fighter.

"This isn't working there's too many. We'll have to break their line , attack!" With that, the burly man dances to the side before swinging his mighty axe at the Fighter.

[TheSummoner]

As soon as the spot opens, Solam moves to B7 and attacks the soldier on B5.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "Your metal armor... that convenient metal lance you wield... You're nothing more than a giant lightning rod!"

Drops of water begin to fall from the clouds overhead. Solam opens a rune covered book to a seemingly random page and begins to concentrate. (Assuming a hit...) Lightning strikes the now moistened soldier, frying him.

Solam looks around and then turns to his companions with a giant grin on his face.

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9607/solamportrait.png "HA! I told you it was going to rain!"

The rain begins to pick up a little as Solam goes back to focusing on the task at hand.

[Geno9999]

"Hooray, now my clothes going to be soaked. *sigh* At least I'm not wearing steel armor." Alex responds to Solam's proclamation.
When A5 opens up, Alex moves in and cuts the Soldier at B5 in two.
"Flee now and I might not bother to chase and kill you all." Alex coolly offers to the other soldiers.

[Kasanip]

(ooc: ummm, hello everyone? What about Soldier B4? this isn't going to end well...)

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/258/celesteportrait3.pngCeleste: "This is crazy! At least hold still so I can heal you!

She mutters to Alex.

After Alex moves, she will tuck in behind at A6 and Heal Alex. And then she will pray she doesn't die.

OR:

If somehow the team plan changes, she is in general, going to stick to the safest spot she can next to Alex and heal him.

[TheSummoner]

(OOC Thread told me to go after the one with 6 HP, which is the one on B5. I assumed Aje typo'd when he said for Alex to go after that one, but we'd have to ask him... If need be, I'll go for the B4 one, but I don't know how well that would end...)

[aje8]

(Alex is supposed get the full health guy, Solam is supposed to get the low health guy. Sorry for the confusion.)

[Geno9999]

I'll change my move:
IF Alex can't survive an attack from soldier at B4...
Alex will wait until Celeste to heal him, then moves to A4 and attack the soldier at B4.
If He can survive...
Alex runs head first to A4 and stabs the foo foe at B4.

[aje8]

(Don't wait until Celeste heals. I've done the math that soilder can't kill you. Attack him, then get healed. If you don't believe me double check my math.)

[TheSummoner]

(Or you could just say that "If the soldier can kill me where my HP is now, I get healed first and then attack, but if I can survive combat, I attack him before I get healed"

Gotta love conditional moves ^_^)

[nothingclever]

I didn't know there was still some life in this game.

Oswald will move to H10 and attack the archer.

[Grim ranger]

(Oh, there is, don't worry :smallwink:. Update on due to tuesday)

EDIT: Update gone to hell because of exam week. Will try again later.

[tgva8889]

Karius is silent as he sits on the saddle of Daren's horse after his timely rescue. He idly spins the Fighter Band he neatly pilfered from his foe around his hand, as though it is some kind of toy, before it disappears in his cloak, to be returned to his lord later.

Very little is worth this amount of effort...I expect I shall be consulting my employer about a raise the next time I meet with him.
