Septim wakes up the next morning to a messenger outside his door, Septim recieves the letter and opens it. Duke Septim of Cidel, Signed, Septim sighs, knowing that in the west, when the Emperor asks something, it's pretty much an order. Septim writes a letter to his former comrades, and asks for notices to be sent out to all major cities... Captain - Bertilius Septim Second in Command - Navigator - Medic - Melee Master - Archery Master - Magic Master - Quartermaster - Cook - Ballista crew - Crew members - Sailmaker - Carpenters - | ||||
Ernie recieves a notice and was kind of sad that he wasnt given more time to recover completely from the last voyage. He still hadnt recovered all of his speed but was ready to recover while on duty. Ernie headed out his door with his sea equipment...and prepared for the war... | ||||
Once at the docks of Cidel, Ragnarr had the intention to go back north, to see his homeland again after twenty seven years, and construct a new longship for himself. | ||||
Ant a skilled navigator, who had experience being a medic(just in case), looked at the notice in his home town, jugble, and collected his equiptment and went to the dock yard. He took all the equiptment needed to sail and plot coures and some medicial supplies as the ship always seemed to be in short supply | ||||
*Might peeks out of Septims storage.* | ||||
Arvious stood in his new office, since he was now appointed General by the army of the fortress Welden. He was reading through reports of attack when he saw a new letter, wrapped in fine paper with a seal of the Duke of Cidel on it. Arvious openned it quickly and read through it. He was almost done packing when Major Tyrul walked through the doorway. "Sir, why are you leaving so soon? Aren't we at war?" "Well." Arvious said, "we are, but trust me, I'll be helping in the war effort more than I would here. Tell General Lynol he's in charge until I get back." And he walked out of the doorway into t he night. | ||||
Erunion arrived on the deck of the Stormborn. | ||||
"I will be sure to give that one to him, he being the most experienced seaman, you can have the position of Magic Master, as you seemed rather adept at magic when we met all those years ago on the Stormborn's first journey..." [[OOC: We aren't on the Stormborn yet...I'm in my castle, I'll pretend you said castle...]] | ||||
[[DOUBLE POST]] | ||||
*Might gets out of Septims store room and goes straight to Septim.* "I guess ill be Melee Master.....unless Ragnarr wants to fight me for it." | ||||

Septim walks out into his rather large dining room where familiar and unfamiliar faces look at him. He sits at the head of the table and explains the reason for their calling. "The Emperor of the West has asked that I take up my blade once more to defend the lands...can't we get a moment's rest?", asks Septim with a smile, he hears footsteps in the hallway and turns his head to see an out of breath soldier run into the room. "Milord! Dark men are attacking the city!" yells the soldier. "What kind of dark men, Dark Elves, Southerners?" asks Septim. "Neither, we don't know what they are sir!" yells the soldier. Septim turns to face his guests. "You can take up your weapons or not take up your weapons, it's up to you, and if you didn't bring any, my armory is open", says Septim before running off to his private armory, he puts on his Western General's armor and runs out to the city walls to see a massive force, complete with three massive siege engines, ten smaller ones, and moving towers. "This should be interesting", mutters Septim, he turns to face his five thousand men, "Well men, looks like I got back just in time!" | ||||
*Ernie grabs his pack and runs out the door to link up with some archers and begins engaging the enemy from long range, covering the close-ranged allies* | ||||
Belting on his sword, Erunion runs to the walls beside one of the wall-mounted catapults. | ||||
Septim takes out his longbow, seeing that Erunion had taken charge of the artillery, and begins shooting at the towers, knowing that each man he kills now will be one he won't have to kill or be killed over later. | ||||
[ I'm not active and won't be for another two days, since I am sick and I don't really feel like doing anything except sleep..sorry people. ] | ||||
Septim runs down to his horse, mounts it, and picks up a spear. His cavalry approaches behind him, in front of him, the pikemen stand defending behind the gates. The siege engine blows a hole through the gate, and dark men on black horses charge through the gate to be met by pikemen, who slay many of them. The footmen run behind the cavalry and Septim leads the cavalry into combat. He stabs his spear through two soldiers and draws his longsword, he charges forward, killing many from his horse before being met by a spearman, who rams his spear through the white horse Septim rides on. Septim jumps off just in time and slays the spearman, he draws his gladius, standing in the center of twenty dark men. Septim then runs forward, towards the gate, blocking anything that comes his way and making no offensive moves. He gets slashed many times, but makes it to a group of his own soldiers whom are fighting on the battlefield. Septim looks up at the wall to see Erunion and a group of Cidellians fighting a large force of enemies that had come from one of the towers. Septim then pours a bottle of Healing Elixer on his wounds, and they heal. Septim then readies himself for combat as the dark men rush forward. They strike quickly, but the Cidellians, renowned for the defensive capabilities, do not leave a spot undefended. They form a turtle shell with their shields and strike any enemies that come into range. On the horizon, reinforcements arrive for the Cidellians, a full legion of soldiers. The dark men soon retreat, and the battle is won. | ||||
[Sorry, I was at a party!] *Might wakes up and grabs his magical dagger from its stand and rushes out to find carnage. Might turns to a soldier next to him, "I see that Septim still does his so called, "Glorious" charges. That man needs some training in tactics. The only thing that is keeping him alive is complete luck. Ragnarr should have a talk with him atleast." [Seriously, worst thing you could ever do is do what you just did, Septim,] | ||||
[[OOC: I know, I sort of realized that after I posted it...Yay luck!"]] | ||||
Erunion managed to destroy the siege towers, save for one that was heading straight at him. | ||||
During all of the fighting, Ernie had been organizing the archery forces and he killed man with his bow. He was engaged in fierce combat but for the most part stayed back farther due to the fact he had not fully recovered from the last adventure | ||||
During the siege, Ragnarr was at the main gatehouse, holding off attackers until the Cidellian reinforcements arrived. Wave after wave attacked, ladder after ladder was pushed against the wall - all were pushed back. Grappling hooks were thrown away. Rams approached the gates and bashed the ironwood, protecting tye city. Black tar was poured onto the men manning the ram, and then a firey arrow caused dozens to die in an infernal death, screaming though they knew it was over. | ||||
Reinforcements finally arrive, and the last of the dark men are defeated. Septim has five kept alive for interogation and goes up to his castle, where he meets with the crew of the Stormborn. "Our meeting was cut short, and unless you are all tired I would like to fini*beep*. I will be commanding the Stormborn in battle with you as my crew. Hopefully we can get some information from the Dark Soldiers we have captured..." *** Septim, down in the torture chamber, approaches a dark soldier, his cloak now removed, his flesh is revealed to be dark and rotted, and his jaw removed. Septim has his court mage read the dark soldier's mind, but the mage finds nothing but two words, "Kill Septim". | ||||
While Septim went to interrogate the prisoners, Ernie spent his time resting and taking medicines to remove the ill-effects of his blood wraith that ravaged his body so much only a short time ago. His muscles had been breaking down during it and had to heal before he could become a true master again. Rest seemed to be the only thing Ernie could think of to heal himself, but he was feeling better everyday he rested. | ||||
Ant made sure the ship was ready to sail. i found a lack of medical equiptment so he went to the town to buy some, he layed out the map he had brought of the seas in the area and began to draw on likely postions of the enemry and the ports that they owned, when Septim returned ant asked him "did you get any info on were their ships would head? and were should we head?i suggest we move to gsadfe, a group of island to the east." | ||||
[gsadfe? Is that a name of something?] *Might spent his time by training the soldiers aboard the Stormborn.* | ||||
| ||||
Septim has his crew assembled. "Alright men, we will be joining the third fleet in their battles against the East...", said Septim, "Gather your things and pick a bunk on the Stormborn." | ||||
Ernie went to the same bunk he had the last two adventures and organized all of his items before resting some more. He felt much better than he did the day before and was almost healed completely | ||||
Ragnarr found his old spot on the Stormborn's deck. He placed his chest there with few belongings and prepared weapons and armour, after which he went to make sure resupply of the longship went fine. | ||||
Erunion walked on board, then went into the Magic Master's room. There, he checked up on all of his weapons and gear. | ||||
[Might continues to train.] | ||||
*Arvious took the bunk closest to the stairs, and placed his staff, sword, and other stuff there* [[Yes, my staff can heal peoples.]] | ||||
The Stormborn pulls out of the Cidellian port. For the flagship of a Duke and Commander of the Western Fleet, it didn't fit the role based on it's looks. But, looks did not matter when you were the target of a warship. Septim stands at the front. "Navigator, set course for these coordinates", says Septim as he hands Ant a small piece of paper. | ||||
Ant spent a long time on the course, as there were dangerous areas between the port and the destination,, to the east, like the rocks by gsadfe. when the course was set he went to the deck and started to sail the ship. he was drew the course on a spare map and placed it beside the wheel so that other crew members knew where we are going and could then steer the ship when he was asleep. | ||||
hey, is it still too late for me to join Its been a while, but I am pretty sure that most of you here played with me before. We had some serious fun back in the day. Jonny (the real one) | ||||
[We could always pick him wherever we are going instead of him magically teleporting onto the ship...] Ernie spent the long boring days, fletching arrows and practicing his swordsmanship with Might in his spare time. Not much was happening lately. | ||||
Yea. I basically lost my post as master at Arms I guess. Oh well, easy come easy go. Thats what happens when you stop playing | ||||
[As soon as Mr. Lazyass Septim shows up you will probably be thrown in again.....i wonder wtf he is...] | ||||
yea, that'll be nice | ||||
[[OOC: Sorry, was out of my house for twenty four hours...it'll be updated soon! :D]] | ||||
After a day of sailing, they still saw nothing ahead, so eventually Arvious began work on cleaning up part of the ship. | ||||
[ Hey, what the hell, is this thread going or not, where is Septim? And Baccardi, good to see you again!] | ||||
[OOC:Good to see you too Ragnarr, its been a while.] | ||||
"I see them!" yells one of the crewmen. Septim walks to the front of the ship and sees a large group of ships on the horizon, the Stormborn pulls up to them, and Septim meets with the Admiral, afterwards he returns to his ship. "We will be going to the Eastern shipyard of Hra'Sharim, without it, they cannot make anymore battleships", says Septim. | ||||
