[SR - Troop] Deploying at Last...

You could almost feel the excitement in the air, like an electrical charge. Today was the day. Training was over, and The Black Wolf Company Expeditionary Forces were being deployed! Months of drilling and training exercises behind them, it was finally time to go to war. A busy scene unfolded on the small estuary on which they descended. The soldiers carried their boats from their camp in the jungle down to the beach. A short trip along the coastline to Charlatan Bay was ordered, where they were to await the arrival of their transport vessels. Then on to Terraversa! The young men in the group were almost jumping with excitement at the thought of battle and war, but the older and more experienced men knew the dangers and possibilities that lie ahead. But regardless of their outlook, all the men were eager to finally put the training behind them, and show their worth. 

Carrying the boats down from the jungle was no easy task

 

Colonel Lindstrom and his officer discuss their plans for the journey with their Oleonaise liaison one last time before departure. The contract has been signed and sealed, and all that is left is the journey to Terraversa.

Nice build Corweena, I like the busyness of the scene, and how it's depicted. Your troops look excellent, and it's cool to see some more mercenaries on the Brick Seas.

Only thing I'd poke at, is that Charlatan Bay is reported as having 'steep' cliffs all around.

With 50 to 200ft High cliffs on all sides, and an active volcano that gives off smoke more than a couple times a year, this small island his highly volatile.   An eruption in '618 was felt as far away as Nelissa.  This seismic activity has led some to believe that there is gold to be mined in the cliff regions of this island. A large native tribe lives on this island, and they are rumored to be hostile.

 

Not that it at all hampers the build, (and this could easily be the 30 feet of land before the cliffs) but it does add a bit extra when the Lore is factored in.

Either way, excellent build, and I look forwards to seeing their adventures in Terraversa!
