"Here is where we will meet if we head out now. Brul's Pointe. It's an area full or orchards, basically, so meeting him at that spot cannot guarantee we will be in a position to actually gain any significant advantage over him. These, Treetop Hill and Darrin Plains, I would not choose as our options. The plains are too open, and the road from Dallan is on a much higher ground, so we'll be spotted in a jiffy. The hill area here looks like a good place for an ambush, but it is totally out of the way and we wouldn't gain much by going there, except for sending out scouts there. Now, some surrounding villages apparently will join our cause. Wyn, Hamen and Thun all have men capable of fighting, so once we start recruiting, those are the places to look for first, inculding Simonton Town, of course."

Re: [IC] The Marching Storm
((I hope this is okay, it's largely a copy-n-paste of the PM))
Grok bursts into the assembly room with a nervous Human in tow. Those of you who would know him recognize Garim, the scout leader. "Tell them what you told me." Grok hissed, his usual calm surface cracking under the pressure of suppressed anger. "We rode yesterday to Treetop Hill, as you've ordered us, and as far as we could see, Sir Astaron is packing, and his forces are on the move as we speak. By now they should've walked about five miles already. Your Honor, we're not sure since we were a bit far in order not to get spotted, but my team and I believe that Sir Astaron isn't using orcs as the rumour goes. We think, Sir..." He pauses for a moment, looking like he's having a problem with saying the next sentence. "Say it!" Grok snapped. "...we think those were Reptile Men he had with him."

Re: [IC] The Marching Storm
"If he's marching directly on the castle waiting here would seem to be our best option for battle. Unless he tries to burn the town first or something similar no need to sally-forth and do battle.
Although if he is going to attack the towns we should march on him and destroy his forces. On that note, do you guys want me to see if I can get better information on his forces? Determine the composition of his forces? He's just marching down the road right? OOC: Can I have used the salary to purchase a horse, (and a months worth of CoL stuffs?), over the three days I would have done nothing else important other than practicing to keep skills up. Edit: Never mind horses are freaking expensive; I'll have bought one months of CoL stuffs. Last edited by Lamech; 07-17-2011 at 10:02 AM. |

At least Orcs we could have bribed!" composing himself "Perhaps this will work to our advantage in the long run, lizard men respect strength over all else, if we ever want the lizard men to work with us in the future perhaps it is best they experience our might directly....no, no amount of outside forces will save Astaron from me! We ride directly for him as soon as the troops are prepared, Ezreal I will need you with the scouts, I will need to know the numbers of his forces, take a horse from the stables and ride like the wind."

Re: [IC] The Marching Storm
Sir Green would have rode out after the dinner to see his lands.
Then return if or when he would be told of the approaching army.

Assuming no one objects Ezreal gets his gear (weapons and armor) and heads forth on a war-bred horse, (complete with saddle, bridle and saddle quivers) and starts riding toward the enemy. |

Re: [IC] The Marching Storm
Fharin folds the map and asks Godfrey:
"Godfrey, I take it you will be leading the forces personally? Or do you want to appoint someone else? Also, you will need someone as an intelligence chief to inform you of enemy's movement. And a quartermaster to take care of the logistics. I will be waiting for you a bit to the north, take good care." Fharin goes out and hops on his horse, a fine black stallion Vivaldi, gift from the late Lord. He rides off, leaving a trail of dust behind him. (OOC: Check the OOC Thread. Last preparations, gentlemen, and we'll start the battle. Good luck.) |
