Fire Emblem: Path of the Exile IC

[ZeltArruin]

The events of the last few days have had many people on edge, in Chalym and beyond. Reports of the prince of Garganth and the incapacitating of the King have the people of Garganth in an uproar. The sightings of distant people just at the Chalym border, when contact was attempted by the soldiers at the Dragon Hold, the strangers fled before they were even within shouting range. Even King Barin of Chalym has become worried by these events, and his eyes seem to dart to the corners, as though he expected a hidden blade to take his life. For these reasons and more, he called his son, Armin, and a collection of his friends, guardians, and a particular shaman before him.

"Armin, my son, I have a task that needs your attentions, and I have called the rest of you to see him, as well as yourselves, safely to the completion of this important quest," He said, his eyes looking tired and the bags beneath them indicative of how busy and worried he has been for the past ten-days. He smiled to his son as he finished speaking, looking at him as only a father could.

((ooc: feel free to talk back before he tells you more, also you can have some chat between each other as you were waiting for everyone to arrive/get called in before the king))

[TheSummoner]

Mirek sits off to the side, nose in one of his books, quietly ignoring everything being said. What do the happenings in Garganth have to do with him? So little did it concern him that he hadn't even paid enough attention to know what exactly had happened. Probably just some petty squabble between nobles or some such nonsense.

"..." Visible silence!!!

[Really?]

Loro straightened at the sound of his liege's voice and listened intently. Attentiveness was one of the many virtues of a knight, and he waited patiently for his king to explain what their mission would be. As he looked around at the other faces in the room, most of which he recognized from the short time he had been serving as a cavalier, he smiled. A merry crew of gentlemen, in service of their king. This is how legends start, Loro thought to himself. Although, to be fair, Loro though this to himself prior to most things he did.

[bladescape]

The prince knelt calmly before his father, the robes and cloak that covered his body resting solidly against the floor.

"What is it that you wish me to do, father." He asks, his tone gentle and ... almost eager. He didn't know some of his to be retinue all that well, but he certainly did know some of them.

It would be interesting, and me mentally noted to himself to talk to each and every one of them at some point. Just to show them that he actually cared for those that followed him. It was something he'd often fretted about....

[Dextral]

Anderson surveyed the people gathered in the king's throne room. It wouldn't be the group he would have chosen to safeguard the life of Chalym's heir, but it wasn't his place to question's the king's choices. He would do his duty to his king. Even if they were utterly incomprehensible.

"As you command, you're majesty. I will do my best to prove yourself worthy of the trust you placed in me."

[DukeGod]

Espada enters the room together with the prince and stands a bit close to him. She however doesn't kneel like him or shows any sign of acknowlege anyone's presence

She could recognize some of the faces. Meaningless. The King was probably about to give them some dangerous mission. Guardianship of Armin was probably a bit harder than it was supposed to be...

Pulling her hood a bit more, to conceal the scales that covered part of her face. The woman keeps her eyes on the King, though truth be told, they aren't quite focused on him. Distracted and almost closed as a matter of fact. She trusted her hearing more. People could hide and she could only focus her vision on a particular place. But concentrating on hearing seemed to make the everything around clearer

[Chriscane]

Clayton was stand next to everyone else in the throne room. Look at the other people that were around the throne room. He didn't really know any one in the room and he didn't really care to get to know them. Clayton only throught about the amount of gold he was getting for this job. In his mind Clayton was smiling with two bag full of gold in his hands.

http://i.imgur.com/dizbr.png
"Well you're majesty you pick the right Mercenary for the job" he said to the King.

[ZeltArruin]

"Arise, my son," he rasped, clearing his throat with a long cough afterwords.

"You are to head to the keep on our northern most stretch of our border with Tujivaro. You no doubt are aware of the strange happenings in the area, and I think it may be Tujivaran forces waiting for the right time to strike. I want you to speak to them, if possible, and dissuade them from their current course of action," He says, taking a seat behind his desk, dropping heavily into the large chair. "I will fear for your safety every day you are gone. The assassination of the Prince of Garganth and the near murder of the King has many on edge, myself included. I have arranged a small fortune to be sent with you, to the sum of two thousand gold, in the event that you require supplies on your trek," he finishes, his strength diminishing as he relaxes back into his padded chair, lacing his fingers together as his elbows rest on the arm rests.

[TheSummoner]

Mirek glances up from his book.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Your grace, you seem unwell. Perhaps this can wait until you've regained a bit of strength. Tomorrow perhaps... Or at the very least after you've had your treatment and rested a bit."

When he speaks, his tone is flat and seemingly indifferent. He goes back to his book as he waits for the king to reply, turning a page and continuing to read the heavy tome.

[bladescape]

"I trust that our previous good relations with Tejivaro should prevent such a happening father, but be it as you wish."

Rising, Armin stood with an arm across his chest in a military style acknowledgement. "I promise that should it be possible, I will succeed."

His eyes glanced over at the Shaman as he spoke, his father had seemed unwell recently, but he had yet to hear about this 'treatment'... Now he was worried for his father's health.

[Really?]

"And if it isn't possible, we'll make it possible, sire!" cried Loro excitedly, throwing his arm across his chest in a hasty imitation of Armin's salute. Oh, yes, that was a knightly thing to say. Brilliant.

"And you don't need to worry about the prince, your majesty. He will remain safe, I swear it," he added, dropping to one knee ostentatiously.

[ZeltArruin]

"While your concern is appreciated, this task cannot wait. There is no telling how long these people will be there, or where their interests lie. I would rest easier knowing what their purpose is, and knowing that they have been dealt with. Go now, with my blessing, and may your journey be a safe one," He concluded, his voice sounding clearer and stronger as he looked on at the group he had assembled. They all seemed well meaning, and that eased his concerns with who he had chosen.

As the group left the room, he spoke again, "Ah, Mirek...?"

((you can have more conversation with the King if you want))

[TheSummoner]

Mirek had never bothered to stand, assuming that there would be no reason the king would want him to go on such a mission. When the king speaks, he looks up and sees that the rest have left.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Your next treatment wasn't supposed to be for a few hours, but if aren't feeling well, it may help to do it sooner. Too much bad blood can cause all sorts of health problems. I can fetch the leeches now if you wish."

[ZeltArruin]

The king looks at Mirek, his face serious and his tone full of gravity. "We both know what is in that fortress. I need you to secure it and make sure it does not fall into the wrong hands. Tell no one, not even the prince, of this task. I have the key you will need to unlock the chamber it is in. I hope this is not the aim of the people flitting about our border, but I am completely unwilling to take that chance," the King said, holding up a key for the shaman.

[TheSummoner]

Mirek takes the key and slides it into one of the pockets hidden on the inside of his robe.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"If it's even still there. The most recent accounts say that it is, but the most recent accounts are still far too old to be certain. And that assumes that what little was written has any truth to it. With records that old, you can never be certain how much is legend and how much is fact."

"I suppose you want me to travel with that group then."

He gestures towards the door where the rest of the group exited. He waits for the king to affirm this before speaking again.

"Are you sure that that is safe? Not just for me, but for the prince as well. I would feel much better with a group of knights as a guard. For that matter, I'd feel safer on my own, working in complete secrecy than I would putting my life in the hands of a mercenary, a mountain savage, and a priest."

He says the last word as if it was the most vile curse imaginable.

"I cannot understand why you would trust your son with that group. The mercenary is no different than any other in his line of work. The moment one of your enemies offers him more gold for the prince's head than you offer for his protection the man will betray you. The savage woman is unpredictable and no more worthy of your faith. Her skill with a blade is not in question, but I cannot see the wisdom in trusting a woman who seriously injured four good guards and could've easily slit the prince's throat. At least Sir Loro is a knight. An inexperienced and overeager one, but a knight none the less. Honor bound to serve and defend the prince, with his life if need be. ...Though I had always been under the impression that only women could become pegasus knights..."

"The priest is the worst of the lot. You would do well be rid of him sooner rather than later. His kind sells false salvation, preaching of imaginary evils and making men believe they would be better off handing over their gold and power. If you allow it, he will continue to warp the prince. To mold him into a puppet through which they can one day control Chalym. Cut his tongue out, shave him hairless, brand him, and exile him and all of his kind to the mountains. The man is no more qualified to teach the prince magic than a stay cat would be. The prince may have learned a few simple tricks, but only through his own effort and even then nothing more than any man with years of research, failed attempts, and access to your libraries could. Magic - true magic, not just simple tricks like conjuring a bit of fire - is not something that noble birth or vaults of gold and jewels can buy. It is something that a man must be born with. A seed of power that if nurtured can grow into something great. It's folly for him to continue to try and worse folly to hand him over to a priest for training. If you won't put an end to it, at least send him to learn from a proper master. In the hands of a skilled teacher, he may be able to one day develop some respectable skill. Nothing great I assure you, but enough to protect himself and enough to compensate for the military skills he refused to learn."

[ZeltArruin]

The king nodded in affirmation, that Mirek was to travel with the prince. "While you make many valid points, I'm afraid things are more dire than I have let on," He began, taking care to glance around, lowering his voice before continuing. "I can not tell you why I am doing this, but I simply need you to follow my commands. I have seen that which I have ordered you to seek, and perhaps that fact will surprise you, but it matters not. I understand your aversion to some of your traveling companions, I do not have time to create a more favorable composition for the escort, things are moving quickly and I fear the worst. Go now, advise the prince, if you believe your counsel better than the others, perhaps your guidance will prove a positive factor, if you believe the current influence, the priest, to be poor. I risk saying too much, my friend, and I pray that all of you return alive," He finished, far more animated than he was previously.

[TheSummoner]

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"The influence of any priest is a poor thing. I've never claimed any skill as a teacher, but I will do as I can. Perhaps if there is time before we leave, I'll find a stray kitten to take over his lessons - It certainly wouldn't be a worse teacher."

Mirek stands.

"Even if you have seen it, there is no way to be sure if it is authentic or not until I have a chance to examine it. Authentic or not, there is no reason to risk it falling into enemy hands. Do you want me to bring it here or simply assure that it remains safe where it is? Warding has never been my specialty, but given enough time I should be able to keep it from being discovered, and failing that, give us warning and time to act should someone try to claim it."

After the king answers, Mirek bows and leaves.

[ZeltArruin]

King Barin manages a grin at the thought of a feline guardian and teacher for his son, but lets the feeling pass before continuing. "Take it with you and bring it here, that would be for the best," The king responds at length, stroking his chin in thought.

((I forgot he had a name))

[ZeltArruin]

After Saying your farewells, the strange band heads off towards their destination, the path well known and traveled, leaving little to chance getting lost or waylaid. The trip is nearly two weeks of easy travel, leaving time for the group to get to know each other, or not, at their discretion. The weather was favorable, clear and sunny for the most part, which is not out of the ordinary for the warm Chalym climate this time of year.

As the group approaches the fort on the last day of travel, they spot smoke rising in the distance, and climbing the last hill, they see the outlying town near the fortress is burning, and from here it is hard to tell how the residents have fared in the fire, but the brigands that likely are responsible are seen moving about the field, and even inside the walls of the fortress!

Talk about positioning and that. Not sure this will be challenging, but hey, I'm learning. Also, many of you need to cut up your images or add them into your linked post in the OOC thread so I have easy access to them.

[TheSummoner]

For the majority of the journey, Mirek has sat in the back of their supply wagon, trying to read and making his disdain for the heat, the wind, and most everything else about the weather and traveling conditions well known.

When the wagon abruptly stops, he finds yet another thing to express distaste for.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Of all the pointless..."

Mirek gets out of the wagon and looks to see what had the audacity to disturb what little research he can manage while traveling. Seeing the men obstructing their path, he walks forward and points to the nearest one.

"You there. Clear the road. Your prince demands passage. Quickly, before we decide it would be faster to cut a new path through your fields."

(Seems like an easy enough map... Let Loro take the left two due to his higher mobility and the rest of us can sweep in towards the goal. I'm thinking Mirek will take H1.

Zelt: You did good on the map. It is far better than a lot of the first maps i've seen. Hell, it's better than my first map was and no worse than any of my current ones. One thing though, you didn't say what out objective is. Are we to kill the lot of them or is the boss the only one who counts? Or are the enemies not the goal, but rather capturing the fortress? You gotta let us know that sort of thing. And a minor thing is that bosses usually get a custom sprite in these games, but that's hardly as important as knowing the objective of the map. Another thing that would be useful, but not necessary, would be to label the enemy map sprites with their numbers. It makes it easier for players to look up enemy stats.)

[Chriscane]

After the supply wagon abruptly stop Clayton had a feeling that the guys in front were placed there for a reason. Clayton jump off the wagon and already had his hand on the handle of his sword.

http://i.imgur.com/dizbr.png

"Hey I think you guys should do what the shaman said and get a move on"

He hold the handle tight ready to use his sword.

(I think I will be in spot G2)

[Dextral]

The journey for Anderson was uneventful, aside from the near incessant whining of their resident shaman. You'd think he'd never set foot outside in his life. Which wouldn't have surprised Anderson very much, actually.

Anderson was inside the wagon when it came to a halt. When he stepped out to investigate, the first thing he saw was the smoke, rising off of a burning fortress. He saw the bandits swarming inside the fortress next.

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/SurviedNinja/AndersonPortrait.png
"So much for the uneventful part of our journey. Wait, what is he-"

Anderson rushed towards Mirek, and whispered harshly in his ear. "Have you taken leave of your senses? These men have just sacked on of our fortresses, they're either brigands or worse. What possessed you to inform them that we travel with Chaylm's prince?"

He backed up slowly, suddenly more grateful for the mercenary’s presence. While his first loyalty might be to coin, at least he had experience with this sort of thing. Which is more than could be said for most of their little group.

Place me at F2, so I can be prepared to heal whoever attacks the closest bandit.

[TheSummoner]

Mirek steps away, visibly uncomfortable that Anderson came so close.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Quiet, priest."

He says the word with no less venom than he had when speaking with King Barin.

"You jump to conclusions too quickly. There are plenty of possible reasons for a few common men to seek shelter in the fortress. Perhaps their village was taken by a wildfire and they seek shelter."

He gestures towards the same man as before.

"Take a good look at him. Filthy. Ugly. Ill-bred. Strong of arm and slow of wit. No different than any other peasant farmer. Yet you label him as an outlaw."

Mirek says, ignoring both his own common birth and the fact that the bandit can hear him.

"These men will know their prince and they will clear the road to let him pass."

[Really?]

Sorry, knew I was forgetting something with those sprites.

Loro has spent the majority of the last two weeks riding alongside the wagon and talking idly, excited to be assigned to such a special task force and eager to learn about the others in the group. As the wagon stops, he flies upwards to get a better view of the situation, then joins Mirek and Anderson.

http://i.imgur.com/nNgtQ.png

"I know not whether these men are the attackers or refugees, but there are at least twice as many as us, and armed to the teeth. But this is not a time for talking! That village still burns!"

Without further discussion, Loro takes off in the direction of the village, looking for survivors.

(This can wait until after Mirek's discussion with the bandits, if that would make more sense. Anyways, I think Loro can take that myrmidon, so I'll start at D1, so I can fly down to the ruined village and wait for the attack.)

[DukeGod]

Espada, who had been traveling on a horse that was not pulling the carriage, stepped down from it and didn't waste time. She draws her blade

"I'd expected you to be quicker of wit than they shaman. Peasant farmers running away from wild fires don't carry weapons. These men are brigands"

(I'm going to the beach, and probably won't get my hands on a computer. Really? has my sprites, can you cut them please? So, since I'm away from home the lord can take control of my character's actions until i'm back)

[TheSummoner]

(Hey! I'll have you know Mirek has plenty of wit! He just also happens to have less real-world experience than a potato. :smalltongue:)

Mirek takes another quick glance at the filthy, ugly, ill-bred, and at this point, probably quite annoyed man and then shrugs.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Peasants, brigands, I fail to see the difference it makes. They will clear the road so we can continue or they will be cut down regardless of which they are. We have too little time to waste it here arguing something so meaningless."

[ZeltArruin]

The brigands don't openly respond to Mirek's berating, but instead seem to talk to each other in hushed tones, glancing at the party occasionally, as if making sure they were still there. A few moments later, one of them turns to the party, taking a few steps forward as he grins, resting the haft of his axe on his shoulder.

"Heh, we was told ye're comin' this way. Says we're ta put you to the ground. So go on 'n git ready fer yer dirt nap, kiddies," he says in a rough dialect befitting one of such low birth, surely. The others draw their weapons and call to those who failed to notice the new arrivals. All of the raiders turn with hungry eyes towards their new prize.

"I's guttin' th' mouthy one first!" The insulted brigand yells as he shakes his axe at Mirek.

((brigands now sound like orcs!))

[TheSummoner]

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Lovely. Cut down it is then."

He says, tone unchanged.

(Assuming no objections,) Mirek moves from H1 to H5 and attacks Bandit 2. A sphere of darkness forms around the filthy, ugly, ill-bred, annoyed man, drowning out all light in the affected area. Moments later the sphere dissolves. (If both attacks connect), nothing emerges.

Mirek turns to Clayton.

"Mercenary, you heard their decision, yes? Use your violence on them. If this can be finished quick enough, I may even recommend a bit of extra pay for you."

(Numbers and planning)(Mirek doubles bandit 2 with a 92% hit chance and enough damage to kill him outright on two hits. He has a 63% chance of taking 10 damage in return. Myrmidon 2 can only deal 5 damage to Mirek with an 89% chance. Neither can crit. Taking a hit from each would leave Mirek with 1 HP. So long as Bandit 2 goes down for sure, it's perfectly safe.

Any objections of Mirek to H5 and attacks Bandit 2 and should either attack miss, the prince finished him off?)

[Chriscane]

Clayton hear the shaman commanding him on what to do. He round his eyes after hearing the the shaman said. He wanted to say a smart remark but hearing the shaman say extra pay made him hold his tongue.

http://i.imgur.com/dizbr.png

"You dont have to tell me twice."

I was thinking that Clayton should follow the shaman by going down to G6 and takle on Myrmidon 2. I have no problem with your plan. (Also on a side note if anyone could kindly cut my sprites for me please)

[bladescape]

Rolling his eyes behind everyone at the petty squabble between the academist and the priest, Armin waves his hand tiredly. "These aren't normal brigands, pay attention to what the last one said. He was told I was coming, and he's here to take me down... That tells me that someone knows privy information as to my route. But that doesn't matter, take them down, try to get at least one alive if possible. Perhaps then we can shed light on this."

(Move to I4, if Mirek didn't kill the target, then Armin will.

Espada to D4)

[ZeltArruin]

Turn 1:
Loro moves to B5.

Espada moves to D4.

Clayton moves to G6.

Edit: Whoops, no anderson, working on it!

[TheSummoner]

(Oh no, he's keeping track of battles, wins, and losses. Zelt, you are a cruel, cruel person =P)

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"There... Perhaps now that... that they've seen what happens... when they refuse... They'll stand aside..."

Mirek looks down at his robes, having just noticed how very covered in his own blood he is.

"Oh my..."

[Really?]

Loro brings his pegasus down to a hover at the gates of the ruined village, looking for any signs of life in the fire.

http://i.imgur.com/nNgtQ.png

"Hello? Is here anyone still here? The prince of Chalym and his retainers have come to save you!"

[ZeltArruin]

Loro brings his pegasus down to a hover at the gates of the ruined village, looking for any signs of life in the fire.

http://i.imgur.com/nNgtQ.png

"Hello? Is here anyone still here? The prince of Chalym and his retainers have come to save you!"

Loro is greeted with the sight of burnt out buildings and a few bodies scattered around. It would appear that the people that once lived here are either dead or gone.

[Dextral]

Anderson rushed forward, all frustration he had felt towards Mirek vanished in an instant. He spoke, his voice calm but forceful.

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/SurviedNinja/AndersonPortrait.png
"I'll need to heal that wound, or you'll soon bleed to death. I would advise you to remain still for a few moments."


He raised his staff, focusing it's healing energies on the heavily bleeding shaman.

"That should have healed most of your injuries. In the future I would advise you pick your targets more carefully, and leave the front line fighting to the others of our group."

Move forward one space to H4 and heal Mirek.

[TheSummoner]

As Anderson approaches, Mirek is muttering to himself and trying to find something in his robe.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Just need to stop... stop the bleeding... A potion or... maybe some herbs... or something..."

When the priest approaches, he is no more cooperative than you would expect.

"Stay back... I can handle this myself... Get your hands off me..."

Perhaps it's a good thing that he did not have the strength to put up much of a fight...

[Chriscane]

Clayton saw that a bandit was headin Loro and moved to intercept the bandit.

http://i.imgur.com/dizbr.png
"Hey where do you think your going?"

Clayton move to F6 and attack Bandit 1

[TheSummoner]

(As Bladescape has put me in control of his character while he's away, I agree with the following plan and approve the following moves for Mirek, Armin, and assuming DukeGod is still away and I get control there too, "Espada".)

Armin -> H6, Attack Myrmidon 2. (94% chance to deal 12 damage. 8% crit chance. No counterattack. If he hits, Myrmidon 2 slain.)
Anderson -> H4, Heal Mirek.
IF Armin misses and Myrmidon 2 is still alive, Mirek -> G5, attack Myrmidon 2 (82% chance to deal 13 damage. 2% crit chance. No counterattack. If he hits, Myrmidon 2 slain.)
IF Armin hits and kills Myrmidon 2, Mirek -> I7, wait. (this might lure Knight 1. Not sure if he'll move from his fortress, but if he does, Mirek will survive the attack and might kill him on the counterattack.)
Clayton -> F6, Attack Bandit 1. (100% chance to deal 9 damage. 3% crit chance. Double attack. 55% chance of taking 7 damage in the counterattack. No crit chance.)
IF Clayton crits and kills Bandit 1 by himself, Espada -> E6 (to support Loro)
Loro -> D6, Attack Myrmidon 1. (100% chance to deal 12 damage. 1% crit. Double attack. Myrmidon 1 slain.)
IF Clayton did not crit, Espada -> E7, Attack Bandit 1. (100% chance to deal 8 damage. 3% crit. Double attack. Bandit 1 slain.)

(This should deal with all possibilities with minimal risk. The absolute worst thing that could happen is both Armin and Mirek fail to kill Myrmidon 2, which would mean Anderson takes 8 damage. Survivable, and so low chance that it is barely worth consideration.

The plan is a modified version of something MintyNinja posted in the OOC thread. The only changes are positioning and move order. The changes I made all either move us closer to the eventual goal, or earn us support points that we would not have gained had we followed Misty's plan as written.

Clayton and Anderson's moves are unchanged and already approved. I approve Mirek's, Armin's, and "Espada"'s. Really approved Loro attacking, but I changed the position. Unless Zelt feels the need to get the position change approved, we should be set.)

[Really?]

Loro gapes at the sight of the dead in the street, but is snapped back to reality by the sounds of fighting on the edge of the village. Gritting his teeth, he raises his lance in silence as Thunderbolt charges at his target with dead accuracy.

Move and attack confirmed, in case that was really a problem.

[ZeltArruin]

((Edit: meant to have something like this))

[TheSummoner]

(Huh... Enemies moving but not using their full movement. The bastards are getting smarter. =P)

My reccomendations:

Loro -> H8
"Espada" -> H7
Clayton -> I6
If we want to, we could put either Armin or Mirek at J5. This would put one of us in range of the mage or archer, but no one else. Mirek is probably better as he has higher Def+Res total and we can't predict which will attack.
Anderson should heal Mirek again for the experience. No one else is below max health.
We COULD put "Espada" and Clayton each one space further east, but since Loro has the triangle advantage, it might be better to just let him handle it. No big deal either way.

Haven't checked survivability, I'll edit the post when I have. Combat information below.
Myrmidon 3 - 64% chance to deal 5 damage to Loro, no crit. Loro counters for 11, 100% hit chance, 3% crit. Loro doubles, guaranteed kill.
Myrmidon 4 - 63% chance to deal 4 damage to Loro, no crit. Loro counters for 12, 100% hit chance, 2% crit. Loro doubles, guaranteed kill.

Loro is at no risk.

Archer 1 - 86% chance to deal 6 damage to Mirek, no crit. Mirek counters for 12, 87% hit chance, 2% crit. No double attacks.
Mage 1 - 76% chance to deal 3 damage to Mirek, no crit. Morek counters for 11, 100% hit chance, 3% crit. No double attacks.

Mirek is at no risk.

If you prefer, we could hold Loro back one space west and put Clayton and "Espada" each one space east. I haven't run the numbers (and if you want to do that, someone else will have to run them), but it's probably safe and they do need the experience more than Loro does.

We could put Armin at J5 instead of Mirek if we want to, but keep in mind that Armin has both poorer defense than Mirek and a triangle disadvantage against that mage. Still probably survivable (again, I'm not doing the numbers), but more painful and riskier overall.

(Huh... Enemies moving but not using their full movement. The bastards are getting smarter. =P)

Yes, because I gimped their stats, these banditos get to be clever. Also, to anyone concerned about it, expect the next map to be more difficult, I am kinda using HHM as a guideline for where my game should be, though toned back a touch.

I have no complaints... I just wonder why clever banditos speak like orks...

Putting Clayton one space further east puts him in range of every attacker but the bandits, so I'm not sure if we want to do that. I'm not sure how vicious Zelt's going to have the attackers be on the first map, though. Both our sword users need to be cautious around that knight, actually. Rough estimate, he's got an 85% chance of hitting Espada for 10 damage or a 90% chance of hitting Clayton for 8, which would be disastrous if any others attacked them.

[TheSummoner]

Good point, make that one south of where I said, not east. He'd still be in range of one of the two (archer or mage), but not both. H8 remains the single best spot to lure from, but we can only stick one person there =P

The Knight probably isn't going to move. He had a chance at nice squishy shaman last time and didn't take it.

Mirek attacks the archer (but only after the mage has been killed and/or if he is to recieve magic bandaids if he misses and takes a hit from the archer.)

[bladescape]

Actions:

Mirek Stays, Kills Archer 1(85 Hit, Kills on hit.)

Espada to J9, Attacks Bandit 4(108 = Auto Hit, Doubles, Auto Kill. 47% Chance for counter to hit for 10 damage.)

Loro to J9, Attacks Myrmidon 3(109 Hit, Doubles, Killing Auto. 62% Chance for counter to hit for 5 damage.)

Armin to J8, Attacks Bandit 3( 92 Hit, Doubles, killing him.)

Clayton to K7, Attacks Mage 1(99 Hit, Doubles, Killing. 82% Chance for Retalitiation for 7 damage.)

If Clayton is hit:

Anderson to J7, Heals Clayton.

If not:
Anderson to J6, Heals Mirek.

Stop the Update if anyone misses on our side of the group.

Hows that sound everyone? It means that even should the Knight move we'll still survive the attack. And should he try attacking Armin, he might get big damage as well.

[TheSummoner]

(Assuming we're going for the boss now and are not going to attack those knights from the country we are trying to avoid a conflict with...)

Though no one had asked him to, Mirek approaches the castle. He walks at a steady pase, unconcerned with the men on horseback approaching from the south.

He stops a fair distance from the filthy, ugly, ill-bred bandit leader and speaks, careful to keep his voice low enough that his companions cannot hear.

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"You. Yes, you, there's no one else left for me to be talking to. I've grown rather tired of this, so in the interest of speeding this along, I have an offer for you."

Mirek pauses a moment to try to read the bandit's reaction.

"Your followers who tried to bar our path have been cut down to the last man. None are left alive save for yourself. If you surrender now, I will promise you a quick and painless death. If you choose to flee, I will not waste further time chasing you, though I cannot promise the same of my companions. However, if you instead choose to stand in our way and further waste my time, then I will see to it that you spend the rest of eternity in agony."

Mirek pauses for a moment.

"I just had a wonderful idea..."

Mirek gestures towards Clayton.

"That man over there has proven surprisingly useful. Quick to obey and he has yet to question a command. I had planned on seeing that he was rewarded... His boots are rather tattered, wouldn't you say? I was thinking of purchasing a new pair for him. And if you continue to waste my time, I will bind your soul to the old pair and give them to the poorest, filthiest beggar I can find."

(If this doesn't make him back down, Mirek moves to P7 and unleashes the darkness.)

[ZeltArruin]

Guzroh looked around, at the lack of his men, and at the ones that had killed them. Hearing Mirek's offer and threat, he just shook his head, resting the haft of his weapon on his shoulder.

"Eh, well, there's not much for it at this point, huh? Death by you or them," he motions to the knights riding fast up to the castle. "Makes little dif'rence in tha end, so let's jus be gettin' it ova wif." He unshouldered his axe, shifting it to his other hand and motioning for Mirek to make the first move, not that he figured he could do much about it.

[TheSummoner]

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"...I will make this as quick as possible."

Mirek makes a few last minute changes to his spell before attacking. The bandit shouldn't be able feel a thing. It may have taken a few extra seconds, but this whole ordeal has already cost so much time that those seconds mean very little.

Cavalier: "Curses, they have taken the keep. Fall back men, we shall ride with the rest of the army and crush them before us!"

The Cavaliers turn and leave the battlefield, promising that more foes were not only en route, but close at hand. Time is most certainly short.

[TheSummoner]

(Yay! My miscalculated plan still worked! As written, Clayton was supposed to get the kill, but after a levelup like that, I'm sure not complaining. DON'T YOU TOUCH MY LEVELUP!!!)

Mirek steps over to the remains of the bandit. The momentary pity he had felt for the hopeless man had passed, only to be replaced by his usual impatience and irritation. As he turns to walk away, he notices a scrap of paper, then reaches down and takes a look at it before shoving it into one of his larger pockets.

"...What would a man like that be doing with something like this?"

[Really?]

Still reeling from the sight of the burnt village, Loro has been darting across the battlefield, striking down foe after foe. Before long, he found himself face to face with the bandit leader. This is it. Now is the moment where a true knight would face down his enemy and defeat him in a single pass.

http://i.imgur.com/nNgtQ.png

"For Chalym!"

With his lance raised, Loro made a diving charge, thoughts of glorious battle running through his head. The bandit side stepped the charge without much effort. As Loro attempted to recover, the bandit struck him hard, Loro's first wound of the battle. Hastily, he struck out at the bandit, then retreated, hoping to get away without anyone else's notice.

Once the cavaliers began to retreat, Loro took to the sky, hoping to watch their path. "Return whensoever you wish! The might of Chalym will hold strong against any invaders!"

[ZeltArruin]

As Loro soars into the sky, he spots a dust cloud in the distance, in the direction that the cavaliers were riding, indicative of some large force moving quickly towards the castle.


With the battle concluded and the din of combat subsided, all grows quiet in the courtyard. There appear to be no people here, nor any bodies, save for the recently made corpses. Even within the castle, where there are signs that people occupied and lived there very recently, there is no evidence of anyone living there now.

[bladescape]

(I just realised I don't have a seperate mug...)

Armin frowns, somewhat in annoyance, somewhat in confusion, as he watches the retreating cavalry from the ramparts of the formerly bandit-infested fort.

"Well. Isn't that odd. Tujivaran ensignas, if I'm not mistaken." His frown deepens. The military way they'd rode up, then departed as soon as the prince's party got to a protective zone was indicative of hunting. Hunting him.

With Tujivaran uniforms.

This was one of two things... "So." He mused to himself. "The question remains. Is Tujivaro wanting Chalym's prince dead... Or are these people trying to kill me as they've destabalised the royalty of Garganeth, and trying to frame our allies in Tujivaro, knowing that this is one of the few times that Chalym and Tujivaro have managed peace?"

Falling back into his musings, Armin turned to walk back inside as the dust cloud of the retreating horsemen went out of sight.

[TheSummoner]

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"In either case, they're gone now. Perhaps we could find some clue to whether they are truely working under orders from Tuhivaro's king or merely outsiders trying to spark a war inside."

[ZeltArruin]

The castle was empty, no one was within. There were furnishings and even a few plates of food on the dining table, yet who ever lived here was gone.

Scant minutes later, the previously distant army has nearly reached the castle gates, and show no signs of stopping there. Before any defenses can be mustered out side of the castle, the foe has taken the court yard, and prepare to take the castle, but just before doing so, a man bedecked in the heaviest of armor steps forward and calls out to the defenders.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/mysteryknight.png
"You might as well surrender, Prince Armin! There is no escape, you and your companions are surrounded with no hope of victory or help!"

His words are true, the enemy force has swiftly secured a perimeter around the castle and are now advancing to take it by force.

[DukeGod]

Once Espada finished her last armored opponent, she was a bit annoyed. That armor these people worn was really annoying! It didn't let her cut wherever she wanted...

And in the castle yet another man in one of those shows up. She knew (or rather was told to by some people of the castle offering advice) to aim for a thrust at weak spots. But that was all another language!

But, better to seem tough right now. Armin was in danger. She draws the blade yet again and holds it to her side

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1103/szcmo.png
"Are you threatening us? It's not healthy for you to do so."

[ZeltArruin]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/mysteryknight.png

The armored man laughed, putting his hands to his knees as he did. Swiftly, he recovered from his fit and shook his head at the swordswoman.

"You know nothing of me or my capabilities, but I appreciate your concern, however ill placed it is."

[bladescape]

(Still need to get around to separating mug...)

"Why is it that you want me to surrender, Commander?" The prince spoke evenly, shooting a look at Mirek to keep his mouth shut for now. "And who is it that you work for?"

[ZeltArruin]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/mysteryknight.png
"Why? Let's just say I don't intend to kill you, and need you out of the way. As for who," he began, shaking his head slowly. "Do not think me so easily goaded to granting such information."

[bladescape]

http://oi40.tinypic.com/v5fghk.jpg

"So then it is not truly Tujivaro." Armin replies casually. To not give information to the astute watcher, you either had to be very good, what this one was not, or silent, something else this one was not.

"And you need me momentarily gone. Therefore, whoever is behind you is worried that I would upset whatever delicate plan they have in store. This tends to suggest that it was them that is behind this escelation of conflict. Whether they are or are not the ones that upset Garganeth is obviously no worry for now.

Therefore, it seems my mission is in conflict with your wishes for me to surrender. An impasse where neither side is likely willing to give.

Thoughts, Mirek, Anderson?"

[TheSummoner]

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"No man has the right to speak to a prince as this man has. My first suggestion would be to drag him back to the capitol in chains to be questioned, though that might prove difficult given our current situation. However, I do believe I could improvise something with the resources at hand if necessary, though it would not be as thorough and there's a good chance it would leave his mind quite broken."

[bladescape]

http://oi40.tinypic.com/v5fghk.jpg

"I would rather question him sooner, rather than later. As much as he should be dragged back to the capitol, it just gives him or any allies he has more time to spring him loose from captivity."

[TheSummoner]

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/489/mirekhooded.png

"Then before anything else, he will need to be restrained."

Mirek rummages through his things, occasionally removing a vial of some liquid or a small jar from somewhere on his robe and examining it before returning it to its place.

"Yes, I have most of what I would need on me. The rest can be easily gathered."

[ZeltArruin]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/mysteryknight.png

The man crosses his arms and watches with passing interest, too far to hear the conversation. "Time's up, surrender now or we are coming in for you," He said, holding his hand up, about to give the signal to attack.

[bladescape]

http://oi40.tinypic.com/v5fghk.jpg

Nodding once to Mirek, Armin turned his head back towards the figure. "I'm afraid surrender is not an option for us." Is all he replies, nodding at his men.

"Be ready, there's many more of them than there was of the bandits, and they'll most likely be better trained unless whoever is behind him is stingy and picked up bandits to fill out his army."

[ZeltArruin]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/mysteryknight.png

With the drop of his hand, the veritable army surrounding the castle surged forwards. "Take the throne and keep Armin alive! You, take command of the siege, I have work to do," He said, pointing to a nearby knight.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/map2boss.png

"Very well then, sir," He replied, touching his hand to his chest before riding forward at the head of a column of cavaliers.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g153/ZeltArruin/Fire%20Emblem%20Path%20of%20the%20Exile/Mugs/mysteryknight.png

"Now then, to find this little bauble..."

[Really?]

http://i.imgur.com/nNgtQ.png

Loro stands beside the others, gripping the shaft of his lance tightly as the enemy commander threatened the prince. At the prince's words of caution, he dips into a deep bow.

"Worry not, my lord. It will take a thousand of their men before we allow one to capture you."

Oh, yes, that was an excellent one, they'll weave that into tapestries for sure.

[TheSummoner]

Mirek will take H6.

(I suspect reinforcements from both A5-A13 and K1-N1-N3 as well as the grass area. We should be ready for that possibility.)

[bladescape]

Armin to I5.

[Really?]

(I suspect reinforcements from both A5-A13 and K1-N1-N3 as well as the grass area. We should be ready for that possibility.)

I'm betting that wall at N10 is going to let in some enemies, too.

Loro to G7, if no one else wants the front.

[DukeGod]

Espada takes G5.
Hopefully, I might manage to finish off some of those archer bastards and let someone else deal with the lancers

[TheSummoner]

(I'd say drop Clayton on F6 and Anderson on H4 if we aren't gonna get any input from their players. Also, goot catch on that wall, something's probably gonna happen there too sooner or later.)

Player Turn 1 Begin!

[TheSummoner]

(Do we want to try to break down the wall at F9 or not? I see no real disadvantage to doing it and it's not like we can reach the enemy at the moment.)

[bladescape]

(I see no reason not to at all.)

[ZeltArruin]

So plan bust up the wall is going to happen? It takes only three of you, assuming no crits, so I need an action for who ever isn't going to attack the wall, and Loro's canto move. And positions, unless you don't care if I do that stuff for you.

[TheSummoner]

(Loro attacks it and moves somewhere else... (J8?)
"Espada" moves to F8 and attacks.
Mirek attacks from G8

And it is done in that order because tomes tend to be expensive and better to preserve the expensive weapon if someone does manage to crit?)

[Really?]

(Sounds good to me. Should we maybe move Armin forward so he'll be in a better position to jump into the action later?)

[TheSummoner]

(Of course. I just didn't mention it since because I was only talking about the wall)

[ZeltArruin]

Chapter 2: Of Siege and Fortresses
Victory: Defend the throne for ?? turns.
Defeat: Armin dies or the throne is captured.

Player Turn 1:
Loro moves to F8 and attacks the wall for 15 damage then canto's to J8!

Espada moves to F8 and attacks the wall for 11 damage!

Mirek moves to G8 and attacks the wall for 4 damage! The wall is destroyed!

Armin moves to I9?

Enemy Turn 1:

"Move into the fort, meet up with the others and crush them. The plan is simple."

Cavalier 1 moves to L12!

Soldier 1 moves to C18!

Soldier 2 reinforces to D20!

Fighter 1 reinforces to A5!

Myrmidon 1 reinforces to N1!

Stats are on my other computer, I will have them up tomorrow morning. Done.
This next turn should be another short one, I want to update by Wednesday if possible and get back on a bi-weekly schedule.

Mirek will move one spot to the right, to H8.

(I'd reccomend Armin to I7 and he and Mirek can lure the cavalier and double-magic him next round for massive damage.)

[bladescape]

...

Was it mentioned somewhere about opening chests? If it was I missed it.

Anyways, general idea is for Espada to D8
Loro to L7
And Armin to lure the Cavalier at K8, with Pillar bonuses.

Something makes me think Mirek could move in to open a chest while this was happening.

[Really?]

(I'm seconding bladescape's plan, although I think we still need keys to open chests, right?)

[TheSummoner]

(Exactly, and we don't have any keys yet.

That's why I said Mirek to H8 and suggested Armin to I7. We can't get the loot yet so we may as well position ourselves to kill the cavalier safely. From K8 Armin is going to get attacked. From I7 he isn't. Pillar or not, he still risks taking more damage on K8 than he does on I7 and we don't have a healer anymore.

As for Espada and Loro, I'd actually suggest we put them in range of their targets. Neither can one shot their guy so they're going to take atleast one hit of damage either way. Let the enemy strike first and it increases the odds that they won't take a second and makes it more likely that we kill them faster.)

[bladescape]

(Memory problems. >.>

Anyways, I concede to Summoner's apparant wisdom. Since I only had four hours of sleep last night, I'm not surprised I missed possibilities. )

[DukeGod]

(Alright then, I'll move to C8 which is in just inside the range)

Espada, seeing Armin once more walk into danger by himself, gets a bit indecise between going to help or eliminating other threats. He was accompanied though, they should keep him alive...

So, she moves towards the other direction. Walking down the stairs and spotting an axemen. Where did he come from? She lets herself be spotted by the enemy, pretending she didn't notice him and prepares for the pseudo-ambush

Espada to C8, Wait

[ZeltArruin]

Just in case it wasn't obvious, I am putting this game on hiatus until I have more time to actually run it. Sorry about this, but I just don't have the time right now, and I'm not sure when I will.
