Fred Daniel Yam Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 A moment after William finishes his speech, Arthur shoves him out of the way. "Listen up, Lion Knights! We be outnumbered and outgunned. This fight shall be tough. Now, I'm thinkin' many of y'all might be bein' afraid. I've been afraid before. I was scared of heights. But I had lots of adventures and learned heights aren't so scary. Elves aren't scary either! Look at Althior's girlfriend Alexis...well, y'all can't see her now, but she's freindly and clever, and Althior apparently thinks she's hot. And we have a secret weapon! We're brave! Don't worry if you fail. Y'all get to roll again. And makes sure y'all take the +2 flanking manoeuvre whenever y'all have initiative! If an elf attacks ya, take an immediate feint and counter-strike action, because that gives ya +1 to hit without sacrificing y'all's next turn's defence bonus." "We're fighting a war, not playing Dungeons and Dragons..." William chucked some water over Arthur, "That was not a good speech, mate, try harder."
Flipz Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 "We're fighting a war, not playing Dungeons and Dragons..." William chucked some water over Arthur, "That was not a good speech, mate, try harder." "Hey, my good buddy back home taught me that. Name was Pete. He says a friend of his gave a speech just like that one to an army of...what were they called? Gun-guns? Anyway, he says Sally's speech REALLY encouraged the troops. 'Course, then again, they were betrayed by one of their own generals, and the destruction of their moon ruined their plan, and one of the Heroes died in the battle...wait, can the soldiers still hear us???" OOC: I give you this.

Alright, Isabella and Arthur, you will man the catapult. I want...

How long will it take us to move from our spot to another place? And is it possible for us to ride horses?
Brickdoctor Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 OOC: I might revise this depending on this. How long will it take us to move from our spot to another place? And is it possible for us to ride horses? QM Note:As you were told when you first me Sir Lawrence, it takes one Turn per level, tower or wall. (so moving from a wall to an adjacent tower is one Turn, and moving from the third floor to the second floor is also one Turn; I believe it was mentioned before that there are only stairs and ladders in the towers, also) No, you can't ride horses.
K-Nut Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 OOC; Can we apparate and disapparate? "Modified List... North West Tower: Arthur, Isabella, Crossbowmen x2 North East Tower: Althior, Pikemen x2, Scout x1 South West Tower: Knight x1 South Tower: William, Knight x1 Gatehouses: Crossbowmen x2, Scout on Horse x1 North Wall: Arasmyth, Pikemen x2 South West Wall: Knight x1 South East Wall: Xander, Scout on Horse x1, Pikemen x1 West Wall: Alexandre, Knight x1 East Wall: Spag, Pikemen x2 I've spread the party out, for I don't want everyone to be too far away to do any help."
Brickdoctor Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 QM Note: I assume you want the melee units on the ground floor? A Knight at the top of a tower won't do much good. And Rangers on the second floor of towers not adjacent to the West Wall, so they can still fire and not have to move down a level to move to another spot?
Capt.JohnPaul Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Alexandre loads his crossbow and shuffles on the wall with his equipment. "Remember bowmen, pikemen, and scouts! Fight to the last man, you aren't noble, you won't be ransomed! Shame is to the one who survives his chief in battle. Flight will not let you avoid death..."
Brickdoctor Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 You rush to your assigned positions: QM Note: Please confirm that this is the desired positioning. Also note that you have one Lion Pikeman unassigned.
posades Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 "I will do my best to protect the southeast wall, and if anyone is in danger of falling to the elves do not be afraid to call out for help and I will try to lend assistance."
Capt.JohnPaul Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Just checked and said we had 5 crossbowmen. I only see four there. I see 4 on the second floor, but did someone forget one? Just checking.
Flipz Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Arthur heads for the catapult, but at the last minute steps back. "This thing doesn't look cool enough, it needs some decoration." He pulls out his opal and adds a layer of ice spikes to the launch arm (0 Ether, no effect on catapult). "OK, now it's ready. "
Kadabra Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Arasmyth jolts awake as Althior assigns him a position on the walls for the battle. "Sorry, mate, Arthur's speech really sucked the vigor out of me. I'll head on over to the North Wall like you said, post-haste."
Kenghis Ghan Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Spag slowly shuffled into position, with the pikemen following close behind. "I swear, any of you that ask if I taste good with gravy again'll be 'defending' the castle from inside that catapult barrel, got it!?" Edited January 8, 2012 by Kenghis Ghan
Fred Daniel Yam Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 "Let's roll!" William hurries to the Southern Wall.
K-Nut Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 "Alright!" Althior screamed, "I want one more Pikeman at the South West wall and a Crossbowmen at the South West tower! If we die tonight, we die with dignity. If one of us is lost I want three of them taken down! Got it? Let's move!" Althior's whole body shook. The war had come, and what about Alexis? What would she do if he never came back? If he neer got to go and see her loving face again? He wouldn't allow that to happen. He couldn't. "Lieutenant Finnegan, I still like the sound of that!"
Brickdoctor Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 You order the two remaining men to their positions, and await the attack. Predictably, within a few hours of sunset, a team of elves bursts out of the forest in front of the vulnerable West Wall. These elves are clad in light armor and drab brown robes. "Scouts. They shouldn't give us too much trouble. We'll hold back wherever there are heroes defending a position." PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Kenghis Ghan Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 "Alright, let's do this!" Spag guzzles down one of his meads in preparation for the battle.
K-Nut Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) "Damn!" Althior watched as his fellow heroes were ambushed by elves. "Finnegan!" "Eh?" "Give this to Xander, and hurry!" Battle Order: Xander Arthur Spag Alexandre Isabella "Sure!" Finnegan raced down the stairs, but somehow tripped over a mouse, and went tumbling to the ground. "It's going to be a loong night..."

Dharkan Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 OOC: I'm going to sleep, have 2 final exams tomorrow. K-Nut you can play my character for this night :)
Brickdoctor Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Battle Order: Xander Arthur Spag Arasmyth Isabella QM Note:Remember, just because you can't attack doesn't mean you can't act. You can take this Turn to move to a different spot.
posades Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 OOC: Just checking to make sure I have the logistics down right; since I'm at the southeast wall, will it take me 2 rounds to attack the elves? Xander notices commotion coming from the west wall; gripping the handle on his club and clenching his teeth, he realizes the battle has begun. Turning to leave towards the west wall, he hears a voice call out to him from the far end of the castle. Finnegan arrives out of breath, relaying a message from Althior. Nodding his head while tacitly acknowledging the contents of the message to Finnegan, Xander races to the west wall to help his fellow heroes in battle.
Brickdoctor Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 OOC: Just checking to make sure I have the logistics down right; since I'm at the southeast wall, will it take me 2 rounds to attack the elves? QM Note:It will take 3 Turns to move to a position from which you can attack, so you would be able to attack on the fourth Turn. (passing through the South Tower, South-West Wall, and South-West Tower) Preparation is crucial in this Quest!
Brickdoctor Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 QM Npte: As JimB pointed out in Rules and Discussion, Spag is unable to attack this Round. Oops.
Capt.JohnPaul Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Alex was dozing off to sleep when he hears cries of, "The elves are coming! The elves are coming!" With a jump, he straightens his helmet and takes aim, he shoots the Brobric Elven Archer from the back row (?)
