After working a hard and long day at the Scholars department in downtown Seris, Salaracen went over to the local book store, there he found a book called Reading of journeymen and for the price of 1200 gold. He bought it and took it home, where he read it each night before he went to sleep.
That night Salaracen ate red meat for dinner.

[OOC: Demonsul how the hell did you get Fighting from Veteran to Master without going to the academy? That isn't possible. Read the first post again.]

Salaracen walked down to work one morning, as he always did, and started to talk to his fellow scholars about the ethics of fishing from the local pond.
After all that excitement had ended Salaracen went back home, ate his dinner of red meat and read his Journeyman Reading book before sinking into a deep sleep.

[OOC:You cannot get paid of you are in the academy. In your next post correct every post you did until now.

[OOC: You misunderstood. What I meant was that you cannot get paid for your job while you are taking courses in the academy. Meaning you do not earn any money while studying.]

[To Mr. Delran

'You misunderstood. What I meant was that you cannot get paid for your job while you are taking courses in the academy. Meaning you do not earn any money while studying.'

In fact I think you misunderstood. You just made another assumption. I don't see that particular rule written anywhere. All I can see is the 'one course a day' rule and all that. If it was different in Prominence 1, and you participated in that, may I remind you these two are not exactly the same. If you still want to object to my character..ah, never mind. If you are going to try and attack my stats, I'm just going to ignore you.]

Continuing to do his job in a routine fashion, Demonsul earned more, and began to seriously consider another big heist. But first he would need some minions...

Delran woke up one morning to find one of his soldiers waiting for him.

"Sir, I have orders to take you imediately to the Imperial HQ!"

Delran followed the soldier to the HQ. There a lieutenant took him to the Chief of Staff.

"Captain we are entering in a state of war. As of this moment you are promoted to Major. Your company will be integrated into a battalion. You are to proceed imediately to the front lines and engage the enemy until our forces will be assembled and ready for the offensive. Good Luck and God Speed!"

Delran went to his company, only to find that instead of a company, an entire battalion was waiting for him there. They also gave him his new equipment: a Serillian Army Kiteshield, A Serillian Army Great Helm and A Serillian Army Cuirass. Delran took his men in the battle on his average horse that he bought.

After a bloody war, Delran was promoted to Colonel. He also learn new tactics and fighting methods. After the war ended, Delran took his horse in a stable, paid for him, bought some red meat and went to sleep.

*grand heist...AWAAAY!*

Demonsul gathered up a few thieves and bandits, and together they marched into the city of Karthon. Well, they didn't really march, they more sort of mingled inconspicuously into the crowds. However, they soon met up again outside the house of a wealthy merchant, possibly worth as much as a million coins. Together, they marched into his house (actually marching this time) and went over to his clerk, before Demonsul casually put his sword to the man's throat.
It is amazing how well he cooperated after that. The many mercenaries Demonsul had paid disposed of the guards, and they forced their way into the merchant's strongroom with the clerk leading the way.
Then, they gathered as much gold as they could inconspicuously carry, killed the clerk and locked him in the empty strongroom.
Demonsul left the others with their shares of the gold and left the city, heading back to his shack in Mitse. He would need a better house, he realized.
During the two months after the grand heist, Demonsul recieved many happy letters from the people who had assisted him. He also carried on with his 'job', earning an even 'wage'. He also decided that he would learn some more skills. Bloody robbery was all very well, but he had decided to try a new tact.
But before he could do that, he would need a better house. Gathering his savings, he went out and bought a brand new two room house.
Happy with his life, Demonsul began to settle into his new house.

Demonsul carried on with his new job. It was growing to be a habit. But, he knew that his new plan would require new skills, so heading to the academy, he decided to learn Oration. Luckily, nobody knew he was a criminal, and he was able to work at the academy uninterrupted, except by work opportunities.

What I want to know is how people got to 21 years of age. I was counting in months and posted every day and only just got to 20.

O.O

So, you can skip years? I thought it was two months a day...

This RP is getting confusing...

[[OOC: Yes, we can skip years when events call for it...]]

[[OOC: It'd sound better as the Fighters Guild...XD]]

[[OOC: I wasn't polite? Sorry...and about Patriot of Serillia...that's a title if you fought for freedom. XD. I couldn't think of anything better, except Freedom Fighter, but it was too late by then...]]

Septim goes to work as Head Diplomat, then eats his bread, swims, and goes to sleep.

[[OOC: Fine, I changed mine to Freedom Fighter...:-) ]]

[[OOC: Eh...Star of Serillia and Freedom Fighter is good enough...]]

[[OOC: There will be a war, sorry, and after that there will be a change in leadership. Most of us will be Lords by then, so we will have to choose to either support our current leader, or to support the leader attempting to take power. :-). I'll do the war/heist (for Demonsul) now...this war will consist of us fighting off an orc invasion force...]]

Serillia had never seen orcs, their ferocity in thick battle was only matched by their hatred for humans. As the small invasion force landed on the coast of Serillia, they slaughtered all in their path. They were finally stopped at Gav Hill by General Harving, Colonel Delran, and several hundred other men. Major Validus Septim managed to take one of the men captive as well, at the end of the war, all were declared heroes of Serillia.

[[OOC: This doesn't add any time, as it only took a month to do. We each recieve 3000 gold and 10 PP. Now, we are all Lords, we will recieve another 5 PP at the end of the Change of power, but that's it for at least a RL month. I've been doing this a bit too fast. And Demonsul, you have full permission to rob the treasury of Ulen, I could think of nothing better, and I don't think you'd get 10 PP for robbing a small village. XD. With the title of Lord comes several things:
13,000 gold coins (10k for the title, 3k for the war hero thing...)
Free food (no need to pay for food anymore)
An average horse
Steel armor with the crest of your city
A steel longsword with the crest of your city
A castle in your city
Also, I forgot to include the title of Count in my list of titles. It was in Prominence 1 and it comes when you recieve 20 PP. You get 6000 gold a day. When you're a Count, you control your city and quite a bit of land around it.]]

Demonsul robs the treasury of Ulen then. He spends most of the money he stole to buy a small town called Bazun. He also makes a really bad short post to proclaim this, and then spends 5000 on all kinds of rubbish to appease the angry Delran. (Its an estimate of how much I am overdue) He also quits his job as a highwayman.

The alarm sounded of. Delran woke up, put his gear on and went to the HQ, to find out what was going on. Upon arriving there, General Harving was giving orders in the courtyard.
"Aaa, Colonel! Glad to see you here!"
"Sir!" Delran saluted the general. "May I ask what is happening?"
"Sure! We have been invaded by orcs. The emperor ordered me to go and deal with them. He also made clear that we wanted you as my second in command. I would have sent for you within the hour, had you not arrived now. I took the liberty to mobilize you men."
"Thank you sir! Let me take my horse and I will wait for you at the gates."
"Go than."

*****

The entire war was decided at Gav Hill. After a bloody battle in which the Serillian Force lost many good men, the day was won by Delrans unit. He had a battalion in reserve, and while the other officers engaged all their men in combat, as well as the orcs, Delrans men were fresh. When Delran saw that the orcs are winning the day, but they are getting weary, and the Serillians are loosing ground due to exhaustion, Delran signaled his men to attack. With the help of 2000 fresh soldiers, Serillia was saved.
For this action Delran received the title of Count and the city of Kharos, near the sea, and the nearby land as his estate.
Returning to Seris, the heroes were greeted at the gates, and Delran was promoted to General. After a party at the Imperial Palace, in the honor of the heroes, Delran went to the guild to sleep.

Septim walked out of his bedroom. It had been his first night sleeping at Castle Cidel, and the bed was far more comfortable than his cot in Seris. Out of nowhere, a man of around forty approached.
"Greetings milord, I am Jeeves, your servant," said the man.
"Hello Jeeves, I am Count Validus Septim, you can call me Validus," said Septim.
"Yes milord," said Jeeves.
"You don't have to call me "milord", but you can if you'd like to," said Septim.
"Yes milord," said Jeeves.
Septim nearly facepalmed, but didn't.
"What are your skills, Jeeves?" asked Septim.
"I can cook, clean, read, write, swim, fight, and dance," said Jeeves.
"Dance?" asked Septim.
"Your predecessor was Countess Milona Verano, she enjoyed seeing men dance, I don't know why," said Jeeves.
"Right. Well, you can start your service by cooking me breakfast," said Septim.
"What would you like?" asked Jeeves.
"I don't know...venison," said Septim.
"Yes sir," said Jeeves before walking away.
He means well...
Septim spent the rest of the day administrating his new County. His predecessor had been a big spender on herself, but not on her County, Septim was about to change that. Septim also had a new guild hall built in Cidel. After a long day of work, Septim went for a swim in the ocean near Cidel, afterwards, he ate dinner and went to bed.

Delran woke up in the morning and left for Kharos. He arrived there 2 hours later. The town had medium prosperity, no docks, no guilds and very few farms.
The first thing Delran did as Count was to visit the entire estate. He than ordered a dock to be built in order for the town to trade by sea. Also, he encouraged the peasants to extend their farms or build more. He told them that because of the new dock, they could sell what they produced and gain good money.
Also, Delran ordered a Guild Hall to be built in the town to maintain a reserve of soldiers if necessary and to lower the cost of training them.
After this, he went to the castle to eat and sleep.
