Fire Emblem - The War of Succession - Team 2

[Usmok]

In the year 1034, a cry rang out of the capital city of Antis.
The king was dead, assassinated in his bed at the age of 54.
Everyone thought to turn to the chosen heir, a small, 12 year old boy and the king's son, but the boy had disappeared immediately after his father's passing.
The imperial court erupted into squabbles, threats, bribes, and murders all for who would be the next king.
From this, the king's nephew came, a man of 30 years.
He united the splintered kingdom and proclaimed himself king in the spring of 1035.
10 years later, the kingdom is about to be thrown into turmoil again...

Mellick and his band have returned to the village of Rorre, from buying/selling supplies in a nearby city in Bourdoscky, to find it has been taken over by bandits.

************

In the spirit of FE, I'm starting of with a small map. Point out any
mistakes!

[TheSummoner]

Darroth starts at A8, moves to E8, attacks Bandit on E9

[Usmok]

BY THE WAY, those red houses have loot.

You don't want them to be destroyed by bandits.

[DeafnotDumb]

Ungar: "Try not to get killed, you two. That'd be embarrassing against buggers like these."

Start 7C, Move to B5 and attack Bandit at B4.

[Kira_the_5th]

Ok, everyone. this shouldn't be too much trouble. Let's stop those brigands attacking first! Mellick calls out to his troops. Moving into position, he fires a burst of icy wind towards the bandit in the south, hoping to finish him before he struck back again at Darroth.

(Start at A9, move to C9, and fire wind spell(s) at the bandit at E9.)

[banthesun]

Start at B7, move to C4 and attack the bandit at B4. Possibly before Ungar.

[Usmok]

***************
The bandits looked so cold, I had to put coats on them :smalltongue:.

[TheSummoner]

Darroth moves from E8 to E5 and attacks the Archer.

[DeafnotDumb]

Ungar: "Bugger couldn't beat an old bastard like myself. Let's hope you're a bit better."

Ungar moves to D5 and attacks the Myrmidon.

[Kira_the_5th]

"It would appear the north front is most in need of support fire right now. I should help the others up that way, to keep our flanks open. Merrick thought as he saw Ungar swing at the swordsman in front of him. He looks like a fast one. Perhaps a little insurance to make sure he doesn't get back up. Ventarum! As Mellick spoke the incantation, a bolt of wind shot towards the myrmidon.

Action: Move forward to D-6 and attack the myrmidon at D-4

[banthesun]

Swinging his sword wildly as his foe strikes from behind, Darius turned his mount to face the bandit.

http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/banthesun/Darriusfrustrated.png Darius: "Curse you vandal! You shall suffer the sweet sting of my steel for your cowardice!"

Darius will move to E3 and attack the archer if he's still alive, otherwise he'll attack the myrmidon from where he is standing. If there both dead he'll visit the village.

"Bastards have already made it to the village... I hope its not too late...

[Kira_the_5th]

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae283/kirathe5th/kiramp.png"Right, we've got these fools to the north out of the way. You all go on ahead. I want to make sure the people in the town here are safe. Mellick calls out to the group as he moves north. I'll catch up to you once I'm done!

Action: Move north two spaces and visit the house at D-4

[DeafnotDumb]

Ungar: "We'd better be on time. Otherwise I'll make these bastards will regret the day I was born."

Ungar moves to G4 and attacks the bandit.

[banthesun]

http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/banthesun/Darriussmirking.png Darrius: "Thank's for the intervention, my friends." He turns to Mellick and nods, "I'll drive these villians to Hades, no problems!"

Move to G5 and wait, unless someone else needs something.

Mellick runs up to the house and notices smoke coming out from cracks between the stones. He blows down the door to see that the entire house is full of smoke, visibility is zero. Using his powers of wind, he starts to blow away the smoke and walk further into the house, where he notices an old woman cowering in the corner. He brings her to her feet and runs out of the hut, using his wind powers to blow in snow, effectively dousing it.
"Thank you, young man, I doubt I would have survived if not for your help," She says "Here, take this as thanks, and may the goddess' blessing go with you."

Received Goddess Icon!

(You didn't update my HP after I took that damage... I should be at 15, not the full 20... And for that matter, it appears you haven't given me experience once during this map... I've been at 30 experience since the end of turn 1 despite killing and attacking a couple of times since.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you labeled the stats on the enemies... I assume that they go HP Str Mag Skl Spd Luck Def Res from top to bottom, but I don't like to make assumptions)

If the Myrmidon is still alive after everyone else has acted, Darroth stays in place and attacks him...

If the Myrmidon is dead and Darroth can survive being hit on the counterattack and taking an attack, he moves from H5 to I6 and attacks the as of yet nameless boss.

If the Myrmidon is dead and Darroth would die if he was hit every time the boss could attack between now and his next chance to act, he just moves from H5 to I6 and waits.

Either way, if Darroth confronts the boss, he says

"Most of your men lay dead. You're both outnumbered and outclassed. Lay down your weapons and swear to never harm another innocent and we will let you leave with your lives!"

[Kira_the_5th]

After getting the people safely out of the house, Mellick rushes to catch up with his team. Spotting a myrmidon in the road, Mellick fires a blast of wind at him in passing, hoping to clear him out of the way to keep his team from being flanked.

Action: Move to F-6 and take a shot at the myrmidon.

(Hopefully, this will hurt him enough for someone else to finish off. Also, if someone can reach the other villages, that would be great!)

[DeafnotDumb]

Ungar moves to H4 and visits the village.

Ungar: "Come on, idiots! Barricade the gates! Can't you see there's a battle going on right here?"

[Penguinator]

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2097/spritetessaportrait.png (http://img145.imageshack.us/i/spritetessaportrait.png/)
"N-no..." Tessa saw the smoke from the tiny shop. "Papa! Papa! Where are you?" Tessa ran to find her father, hopefully safe, away from his blacksmithery. She saw a small figure crawling out of the building. "Papa!" Seeing his daughter, the man coughed a bit to clear his throat. "Tessa? Do you have the armor and the lance I made for you?" She was on the verge of tears, her father dying in front of her. "Y-yes, Papa." "Good. Leave me here. Whether I die or live doesn't matter." "Papa!" she cried, but he could no longer hear her. "I... I'll kill them for this!" She made her way toward the town's gate, and saw a large, scarred man shouting. She couldn't make out what he was saying, but his tone didn't sound very nice.

[DeafnotDumb]

Ungar: "Oh, hells...." The fighter swore to himself at the sight of a far too small figure advancing down to the gates.

Gathering up his calm, Ungar advanced towards the child as gently as a scarred bulk weiding an axe larger than a torso could. "Look, you... is that armor? And a lance? Put the bloody weapons down, kid! You're too young. What are your parents...."

One look at the girl's face was enough to answer that question. Viciously cursing inside, Ungar knealt down to the level of the child, dropping his axe to the ground. "Damnit. I'm sorry. I... just stay behind me and keep yourself safe and don't do anything damnfool stupid like attack anyone. Only fight if they attack you. Understand?"

The fighter stood up, weapon in hand. "It's not right, I know. But you're alive, so keep it that way."

[banthesun]

If the myrmidon is still standing when I get my go I'll take as swing at him and hopefully finish him off, from G6 if the enemy's standing at G5

Otherwise:

Darius sees Ungar rush to the village's deffense and frowns and mutters to himself
http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv245/banthesun/Darriuscomplaining.png Darrius: "Gah! Thanks for taking the village, why don't you get back to acting tough and leave the heroism for me?"

Composing himself, Darius sets out to I7 to save that house. If he can, he'll move one step back to H7 after.

[Penguinator]

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2097/spritetessaportrait.png (http://img145.imageshack.us/i/spritetessaportrait.png/)
Tessa eyed the man carefully. He looked like a bandit, but... He seemed like a good person. He reminded her slightly of her papa... She glanced around to where she had come from, and silently vowed that she wouldn't let anyone else suffer the same fate. All hesitation lost, she looked right in the eye of the big man in front of her. "I won't be a burden, I know what I'm doing, Sir. I've been on my own before... Once, my Papa..." She paused. "I'm Tessa. What's your name?"

[DeafnotDumb]

Ungar: "Nevermind. Just don't dare get yourself killed." After a moment of silence, the man relents. "It's Ungar. Let's get you out of here, kid, and find someplace safe."

[Penguinator]

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2097/spritetessaportrait.png (http://img145.imageshack.us/i/spritetessaportrait.png/)
"Your name sounds like Uncle. I've never had an Uncle... And now, Papa is..." she shuddered at the thought. "May I call you Uncle?"

[DeafnotDumb]

A very strange expression crosses Ungar's face and departs breifly before coming back to roost there permanently.

"are you-"

"..."

"Sure, kid. If it helps. Let me check your armor for you, wil' ya?"

[Penguinator]

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2097/spritetessaportrait.png (http://img145.imageshack.us/i/spritetessaportrait.png/)
"O-okay..." Tessa was a little embarrassed. "Uncle," she added, and giggled to herself. She liked this man.

[Kira_the_5th]

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae283/kirathe5th/kiramp.png "Hmm, what's this? Mellick says as he spies the young girl talking with his men. A girl from the village? What is she doing out here? It's dangerous! The odds of her survival out here, even with that armor, are minimal at best. Hey, young girl! Mellick calls out to her. What are you doing out here?!

OoC:
Just a bit of Rp conversation to keep things moving until the turn ends.

[Penguinator]

If we're lucky, the turn will end next month. If not, this game has joined the others and kicked the bucket.

[TheSummoner]

(Its only been ~a week, theres no need to be such a pessimist... yet)

[Penguinator]

No, he actually said it wouldn't be this month in... one of the other threads. Yay, wishful thinking.
