The place...
16:36:14 Feb 18th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

Septim sits in his throne, thinking, when a messenger runs up.

"Emperor! We are under attack! Oceanus is being attacked by these weird serpent men!"

*Septim gets up.

"I will be right over there, inform the Dukes, tell them to send soldiers though the heart of Erabor!"

With that Septim ran over to his vault and put on his mithril armor, he hung a red cape over his shoulders and then picked up Icengard and buckled it. After that he picked up his shield, turned around, ran out, locked the vault, and went through the heart of Erabor.

Septim arrived in Oceanus to find it half destroyed with only a thousand men left of it's orignal five thousand.

"Lets see if we can defend it until the backup arrives..."


16:55:47 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Egnever:

Duke Egnvever sends his finest troops,  ten thousand strong to aid his Companion
He also calls to arm another set of troops, thirty thousand strong and positons them in his armoury city Ililla and sends them to train and get good rest as soon they will head out
The troops he sends to the aid of Setim are a fine legion with black armour and steel swords
He names them " Black Legion "  they are soon in Mights Province and heading north through to Seafaring.....He plans to go round and squeeze the beast with the help of other Dukes....


17:12:54 Feb 18th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

[[OOC: Oceanus is the island in the south, but I will just pretend that you sent them there instead. Oceania is the city of Verll...]]

*Septim blocks a slash from the snake-men. He notics that they used a strange weapon...it is thin and has a long handle, Septim decides to call it a katana, the big ones use a longer katana, which Septim calls a Dai-Katana. He kicks one of the monsters and stabbs his blade through it's neck. Suddenly Septim turns to see the Black Legion and many others arrive to reinforce Oceanus.

"TO BATTLE!"

*Septim launches a fireball at the enemy units, burning a few of them. Soon Xarxes's Gordian Legion arrives, commanded by Xarxes himself. Septim welcomes his comrade and continues fighting for the Defense of Erabor.

 


17:46:05 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Egnever:

[[ Wheres might's army! Chip in! lol ]]


17:47:39 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

[Erunion.....I haven't actually revealed how to build it ya'know....]
{As Septim has said, I'm building one from scratch.}

Erunion and his men are, (naturally) in the midst of the battle.

"Forward 501st!"
Erunion's 501st legion (colloquially referred to as Erunion's fist) is all equipped in a similar manner to him, the armour is mithril and lacquered black and they all wield Long-handled trendarats and longbows.

"Halt! Notch arrows! Aim! Release!
Notch arrows! aim, Release!
Independent, fire at will!"

A swarm of arrows struck forth out of the ranks of the 501st tearing through the snake men. Enraged, the snake men charged.

"Switch weapons! Hold ranks, Charge!"

The 501st ran at full tilt into the enemy ranks, trendarats sweeping away the lighter Katana's, with spiked forearm and shinguards disabling and stunning their foes, allowing for a quick killing blow to be delivered.


17:56:29 Feb 18th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

[[OOC: 501st? Like Star Wars: Battlefront II?]]

"We almost have the day men!"

Suddenly a massive two mile snake comes from the sky and crashes into the ground ten feet from Septim. Septim draws the Sword of Erabor, Aechon, from it's sheath and sends a shockwave at it, knocking it down, yet it gets up and shoots fire at Septim, Septim blocks with the powerful blade and sends it back at the monster, Septim then runs forward and slashes at the beast, creating a long gash, the beast hisses and flies off, leaving his men to be slaughtered by the Eraborians. After the battle Septim approaches Erunion.

"That was a strange beast...we must do a counter attack soon before they have a chance to come back with a larger force..."

Septim turns to a Private.

"Inform Might, Egnever, and Verll if you can find him that we are going to war..."

Private: "Yes sir"

Septim turns to Xarxes.

"Prepare the fleet..."


18:51:54 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

{Yup... Note: "Erunion's Fist"... :P}

"Yes m'lord. I daresay this postpones my trip of exploration and colonization then. Well, I'll still have the schematics for the light air vessel done in a few days. That should be extremely useful."

{I'll post them up later today if possible. Just have to draw them first...}


18:59:38 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Egnever:

Egnver's legion only lost 8 men in the war
He sends the Black Legion with him, he gives the command to Septim as he has 'other ' things to deal with....


19:16:15 Feb 18th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

*Mights dragonship fleet is ready with 10 larger dragonships and 30 small  dragonships.


Might loads his air-born regiments onto the ships with 30 mages on the smaller dragon ships and 70 on the larger dragonships.

Might sends out the the first battle-ready fleet to the island to help out. Might is onboard the Flagship of the fleet, To Hell With Ye.



19:43:33 Feb 18th 08 - Lord Verll:

Verll was in a  snowy world when he noticed someone in his castle wanted a hold off him. He had left a calling device that when someone wanted him and touched it, it would send a instant call to him. Verll had been off traveling the worlds for quite a while. He had learned to manipulate magic in ways never before explored and was more powerful then he thought he could ever be. He had also gotten hold off some new equipment, a new staff that was enchanted with powerful spells. It could be used to blast fireballs, shoot ice balls and shoot lighting. He had also gotten hold of a cape that would turn him invisible at will and it was impenetrable. He had found a good pointy hat that he had not yet examed but he had some suspicions it would never let the wearer get exhausted.

He muttered a few words and was back home at his castle.  A servant was waiting in his room

"Duke, a messenger from Emperor Septim is awaiting you. He says it is important, something about war."

"I will be there right away, oh and tell the potion master to get ready the bottles of Explovius." Verll told the servant.
He had together with his potion master remade the potion that had blown up his old castle. He was prepared though, and had used spells too ensure the safety. He had poor the potion into little bottles, cast a spell that would enhance the explosion and another spell that wouldn't let it blow up until the bottle was cracked.

He walked to the throne room to hear out the messenger.

"What new do you have that is so hasty, my good man"

"The empire is under attack by strange snake people, they have a mighty beast on their side. Emperor Septim request your help in this battle. You must hurry" The messenger said.

Verll nodded and turned to a servant.
"Tell the general to send out all the troops we have to assist. I will travel ahead."

Verll didn't have much men at his disposal but they were highly trained, and his mages were the strongest in the Empire.

With that Verll teleported to Septim.


19:52:53 Feb 18th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Verll, sense your mages are the best why don't you have them man my dragonships? They could do some crazy damage from the air.]


20:05:36 Feb 18th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

The armies of the other Dukes arrive, the whole army totals at one hundred thousand men. As they board the hundreds of troop transports and warships Septim watches, smiling, and knowing that not one of them would let him down. Septim boards last and the naval ships go off, over them the airships fly.


20:14:24 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:



Erunion strides into Septim's war office and lays down a piece of parchment before him.
On it is detailed an image and description of the strange craft.
It reads;

"The ship is to be made of teak on the outer layer with a thin lining of mithril behind this. It is to have the forward repeating ballista and the two repeating crossbows on each wing. It is propelled by three turbines, which spin in accordance to the wishes of the pilot who must be a mage. The sides are to have slits to allow the dropping of fiery potions and the shooting of arrows by passengers.

Key:
1. Wing turbines.
2. Center turbine, it will allow for ascension into the heavens.
3. Bow-mounted repeating ballista.
4. Wing-mounted crossbows.
5. Verticle stabilizer."

The paper then goes on to read exact schematics for the building of the craft.

"What think thee, Emperor?"

{I'm sorry but I didn't have time to draw the side-view and front views. I hope the top view is enough.}


20:19:01 Feb 18th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Erunion, you could have just asked me for the metal and spell that I sue to levitate my ships. Its much cheaper and works better too. Nice though!]


20:26:12 Feb 18th 08 - Lord Verll:

Verll walks into Septims office while Erunion is still there. He nods at Erunion and then says to Septim.
"I think it is time to call a war council between the dukes to plan a bit better. Oh and Erunion would you like to take some of my elite mages with your crew?"


[Oh and the 501st legion is also known as "Vaders Fist". :O ]


20:29:44 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

{Mithril is light and is difficult to break even when it's paper thin. With teak (a light hardwood) softening the blow beforehand it should be very difficult to break. Also, I'm using magically powered jet engines.... So it'll be pretty fast, and have the third turbine to make it a VTOL.}

Erunion, seeing a possible problem, quickly corrects the design.
Now there is a line of steel on the outside (still extremely thin) so that the teak won't burn. (It wouldn't normally, but a two mile long firebreathing snake might have the heat to burn teak...)

Turning to see Verll Erunion expresses his delight at the scheme.
"An elite mage would be necessary to cast the binding enchantments that would allow the pilot to control the turbines, the flaps and the weapons system. Having a mage actually inside one of the craft to deflect attacks and perpetrate others would be amazing! I thank thee for thy kind offer."


20:38:28 Feb 18th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Erunion.....making those ships would be extreamly expensive and would be useless. They would go out of date within a year and would be impossible to remold or anything like that. Plus with the magically powered turbines. Whaa????]


20:45:20 Feb 18th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

"Alright Erunion, build one of those in the cargo hold, hopefully it will be done by the time we reach the snake lands, and a war council sounds like a good idea, I will have the Dukes all meet on Flagship Fury of Erabor.

[[OOC: We are on our way to their lands now, we are on the ships, the Dukes are all on seperate ships so we'll have to stop...]]

A few hours later...

Septim sits at the head of the table, his four High Dukes sit closest to him and the lower Dukes sit down around the table.

"Any ideas?", asks Septim, "They are bound to have a navy, so a naval battle may be soon..."


20:49:13 Feb 18th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

"My dragonships will be able to take care of any navy unless they have air support. If that does happen I will be landing the swordsmen off my ships because they will be useless against dragons or any of type of flying serpent, but if they have ships that are like mine ill have to keep em."


20:52:14 Feb 18th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

{I expect that later models will use a metal other than mithril, as you are right. It is too expensive. The first one will be my own personal craft however.
Now, turbines. Turbines spin at extremely high rates, pulling air in one way and pushing it out the other. Instead of using fuel to do this, I am using magic. This will be stored in a replenishable gem or some such. (It will glide most of the time to conserve this magical fuel, of course.}
"Thank you, Emperor. I'll get my team on it immediately."


23:27:13 Feb 18th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

"I suggest that we send one of Duke Might's smaller ships to scout out the area ahead...it might prove better for us if we know the area...", says Duke Gorris Farilor.

"Yes, that would prove better for us...Might, send one of your smaller crafts out to scout the area...any other ideas?"


00:10:55 Feb 19th 08 - Lord Verll:

Verll looked at Erunion and Might.
"I will be happy to assist in any matter of Magic with your ships, and I will put half my Mages on your ships Might, with your permission of course. The other half will be here and fight on the naval ships. Erunion, just about how many Elite Mages will you need? Oh and Septim (Verll still referred to Emperor Septim as Septim cause of their old friendship) I have brought some of my healers here, they are skilled in the healing art of magic and potion."
Verll waved his hands and a plate filled with food and a cup with vine appeared in front of him, and he grinned to the others.
"Nothings like a good meal with some vine, eh?"


02:25:28 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

"Ah, that looks good. Verll, I'll need your best available mage to create the spells and a mage that is good with metals to work with me on the forging of this craft. After that I'll need one good mage to enchant the weapons. Once the craft is complete I'll come to you for whatever else is needed."
Erunion looked down then thought of another thing.
"With the enchantment, I was thinking fiery explosions and enchantments to increase the penetration of the arrow, then explode in ice on the inside. For any dragons we encounter, of course. And that would be for the crossbows and the ballista."


04:04:39 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Septim, control me. Im gonna go to bed ;D]


15:57:48 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

Egnver gets his servant to pur him a fine glass of red wine, home made in his cities and then into the other Dukes glasses...
He wonders...
" Hey Might!" " How many troops do you have with you, most of them?"
He repeats the question to the others...


16:08:04 Feb 19th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

"I will accept your mages Verll, they are the best in the Empire...", says Might.

"Alright, anything else?...Alright, prepare the scout, then prepare for war.", says Septim. Septim goes to his cabin on the flagship and puts on his mithril armor, he buckles his usual Firengard and Icengard and then slings an Elven shortbow across his back, along with a quiver of twenty arrows. Septim picks up his shield and goes out onto the deck. Xarxes, in full mithril armor himself and on his back is a mithril claymore.

"Sir, we sent out the scout about ten minutes ago, we can see the top of the land from here so it shouldn't be long...", and Xarxes was right, ten minutes later the scout returnes and lands on the deck, the pilot gets out, approaches Septim, and salutes.

"What have you found?", asks Septim.

"They have a pretty big navy, a bit smaller than ours, but they have twice as many airships and...some of the individual soldiers have flying capabilities...", says the scout.

"Hmmmm...thank you soldier...", says Septim.


16:27:34 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

*Might thinks on it a bit.*


"I can get 10 more airships here within days. Maybe we can hold them off untill reinforcements come."


Might turns to Egnever and says, "I have 3000 archers,1000 pikeman, 5000 swordsmen, 600 wizards, and my own personal guard of 500."

16:30:52 Feb 19th 08 - Prince Calus Septim V:

With those words a fleet twice as large as their own and twice as many airships appeared on the horizon.

"MAN THE WEAPONS!", yelled Septim, "SPEED UP, THEN TURN TO BROADSIDE!"

An airship dropped onto the deck and fifty snake-men jumped out.

"Defend the ship!"

Septim draws Firengard and charges the enemy, he strikes one by surprise and suddenly all fifty drop dead.

...what just happened?


18:25:56 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

Erunion walks upstairs, grinning broadly.

"Emperor! Emperor.... What the Blue blazes is going on! Wait, we're under attack."
The grin is wiped surreptitiously from Erunion's face.

"501st! On deck! We're under attack!"

Running to Septim, he bows slightly then speaks;
"Your imperial majesty,  I have finished the prototype for my craft, do I have permission to take to the skies with a mage and eight of my best archers, so that I may engage these scum?"


18:52:28 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

Egnever peers down as The Black Legion flanks the enemy
He takes his horse and rides in
He draws his long spear from his back, this is unlike the other spears as the whole of one side is a blade.... Handcrafted it slices through the enemys thin armour easily
He shouts to the cavalry who are peeked upon a hill, they gather alot of speed as they charge down taking out over 1000 in our charge, they are well trained with armour to themselves


18:58:49 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

{Revenge, we are on a ship...}


19:00:11 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

{ I exited ish... sorry guys, I got a little confused with the story line  x]}


19:58:04 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

*Might looks in surprise as thousands of cavalry jump off Egnevers ship into the water.*
[J/k!]



*Meanwhile in the shies Mights Air-force is hard-pressed to deal with the massive Air-navy around them ,but with the help of Verlls mages manages to to take down the largest ship and with it their air-commander. Leaderless the Air-Navy falls into dissaray as the Air-Force use their superior organization to destroy the enemy ships.*


20:03:29 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Wraith:

*Wraith is a young soldier in Might's province. One day, a steward comes up to him.*

[Might asked me to join. Hope its ok  =P]


20:06:05 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

*The Steward sits down at his table and offers Wraith some mead.*


"Ive seen you commanding those other soldiers out there and im impressed. Im wondering if you would like to be in High Duke Might's personal guard and if you prove yourself, one day you will be leading his armies."


20:18:54 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Wraith:

"I would be honoured to lead the Duke's personal Guard. What would it entail?"


20:20:59 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Not lead it.....be in it.]


"Following him around and protecting him, better pay, better food, better equipment, and the chance to work in his personal Dragonship!"


20:23:06 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Wraith:

"I would be honoured."

*Wraith bows to the Steward.*

"Lead the way."


20:24:19 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

Revenge pays 50 thousand coins to upgrade his city and pays a furthermore 20 thouasnad to make stone walls around it   [ The capital, not all of thm ^^ ]


20:25:54 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

*The Steward calls a Servant in to lead Wraith to his quaters in the castle.*



[You can buy anything you want up to a limit of 2000 gold For weapons and armour. You must get special permission from me to buy anything that costs more. Scroll back a few pages for the prices or just ask Septim.]


20:25:55 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

*The Steward calls a Servant in to lead Wraith to his quaters in the castle.*



[You can buy anything you want up to a limit of 2000 gold For weapons and armour. You must get special permission from me to buy anything that costs more. Scroll back a few pages for the prices or just ask Septim.]


20:30:52 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

Revenge also moves a further more 10 thousand well armed men and 5 thousand cavalrey into Ililla....


20:31:22 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Whats Ililla?]


20:33:15 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

[[ One of my cities in my province, I going to move them out soon, I want to group them up before I go out { Would be more scary for the Sea people to see lol} ]]


20:36:20 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Wraith:

[[Septim, can you show me a list of weaponry please? I have skimmed back but I can't find the costs of weapons... If its easier, I would like Light-Medium Armour, a Knife, a Longsword and a Longbow. Thanks]]


20:38:42 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

[[ Id say that will cost around 2400 gold coins for ok metal then for better metal around 5000 then more as the metal progresses.... ]]


20:41:35 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Wraith:

[And without the Longbow for ok metal and light armour?]


20:42:30 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Egnever:

[[ Around 2000  ^^ ]]


20:44:31 Feb 19th 08 - Sir Erunion Telcontar:

"Thank you, Emperor." {I'm assuming here that you let me join the battle in the skies.}

"Flight squad! Get to the ship!"

*Clone commander voice-over commences.*
"With more and more of Might's dragon-ships being destroyed during the endless conflicts, hundreds of ground legions were being pressed into the sky. The 501st was no different. We'd spent every spare hour training for this, but nothing could prepare us for what we were to face. The screaming, the crying... The fire streaming everywhere...
*Mission loads*

"Magi! Get communications set up. Men, get down in your seats and load your rapid fire crossbows. Fire shot, mind you!"

Erunion sat down in the *beep*pit, using the imaging system that had been set up to see through the walls everywhere.
The center turbine whirred to life, and the craft suddenly jetted up into the air.
Once in the air, the craft started going forward, faster and faster as the rear turbines were put into more and more power.

"Sir!" Came a strangled cry from the back.
"Sir! We're being blown out of our seats, damn it!"

"Magi! Strap them in!"

The craft was going at extremely high speeds, when it came across an enemy craft.
Now, to test the weapons systems...
The ballista fired, but the craft was going too fast. The ballista shot flew straight and true for a few seconds but the craft quickly overran it, the bolt clattering against the front and exploding in a burst of fire.
Damn!
"I'm slowing down! Hold onto your seats and prepare to fire!"
Erunion blacked out for a second, and when he was seeing clearly again the mage yelled up to him.
"Three of our men lost consciousness sir!"
"Try and wake them up! Have the rest open fire, we're in the midst of them!"
Fiery bolts rained death from the nimble and agile craft, as the attacks from the now disorganized enemy continually failed to make any more than glancing contact.


20:45:56 Feb 19th 08 - Mr. Wraith:

[Perfect ^^]

*Wraithish asks for a set of Light Armour, a Knife and a Longsword. The Servent brings these and Wraith inspects them. They weren't of the best quality but they were good enough.*
