*Killer works again today, and decides he's getting kind of bored with the work, so he asks the farmer how much one of his animals would be worth, or a tiny little portion of land for himself. He goes to the Drunken Dragon Inn, for 50 gold instead of the other place. He has 160 gold, 40 food. | ||||
Erunion wonders what there is for a soldier to do. | ||||
[[OOC: You can duel one soldier of your rank per day in the practice ring, they act as jobs for mercs and patrolling for guards. You can do one duel/job/patrol a day and that contributes to your next job. You start at rank 1, then 1 job later you go on to rank 2, then 2 jobs later you go on to rank 3, then 3 jobs later you go to rank 4. But you may only do one job/duel/patrol a day and the number of jobs needed for promotion increases each rank...I finally found a way to make it work...]] | ||||
(OOC: when do i become a mage?) | ||||
[Sorry was busy the last two days] *Wraithish has spent the last 2 days training hard with a bow. He know hits the target most of the times but he can not do any better without going to see a master in this skill. He goes to his army officer and asks if there are any jobs he can do.* [Items; | ||||
[[OOC: You can't rise in rank with that job, only teachers, guards, soldiers, and mercs can rise in rank...or you can attempt to kill him and take his shop, but that is nearly impossible...or you can start your own shop with about 5,000 gold, the pay is 750 a day for being a mage...]]
| ||||
(OOC: so when i get 5000 gold i can become a mage?) | ||||
[Septim, can I buy any cheap farm animals? Perhaps from the stables(if there is any) or something, or how much would an acre of land be?] | ||||
[[OOC The land will cost about 500 (including a shack on it) and the cattle will cost about 400 gold alltogether. Then the tools will cost about 300 gold and the seed will be 20 gold a day. You will get 500 gold a day from this investment...so you will make the money back within 3 days.]]
| ||||
[Im a full-blown mercenary.....I need a job, Septim :D] | ||||
[[OOC: I know, but I started one day before you, so I have one job more, and that means I will get every promotion one day before you...]] "Mercenary, we have a contract, you are required to kill a tratior by the name of Foltor, he should be at his house in the Residental district, here is a Royal Writ of Execution from Emperor Septim himself", says the man to Might. | ||||
*Might takes the writ and grabs his sword. He sneaks into the house via window and kills him in his sleep.* "A quiet death for you is the best I could do....." | ||||
Foltor wakes at the last minute and sees an iron blade drop onto his throat, he chokes, and coughs up crimson blood, he tries to see the face of his killer, but his vision is already blurred, he sputters and dies. *** When Might returns to the Mercenaries Guild, the man gives him his gold. "Good work Merc...keep it up for two more jobs and you'll be classified as seasoned." [[OOC: Might, you should have about 300 less than I did before I bought my house, so around 710 gold...]] | ||||
"Im always ready for a job and I will always be here.....just give me the writ and Ill do whats necessary." [:(] | ||||
"Will do, Mercenary." *** Across town, a man is murdered by a stab to the back and another stab to the back of the neck, the murderer runs off before anybody could blink. *** Captain of the Guard Cassius Wes makes a statement. "The man has murdered before, in the towns of Versindol, Kos, and Bernindad. He is dangerous, very dangerous, and we have our best men working on his capture. He is skilled with several different weapons, including bows, knives, hell, he has even killed a man with a fork before...he is a professional assassin, he murders for money, and he will also kill anybody, innocent or not, that stands in his way. But worry not, the man he killed in Kos was my cousin, so I will not stop until I find him...", says the Captain. *** Later that night, the Captain is found with a small, knife sized hole in his chest. [[OOC: You can hire this assassin to kill NPCs, his services are NOT cheap though, about 5,000 gold per hit...so if you want that promotion, and cannot kill your master or are afraid you will get caught (90% chance of getting caught, and the man himself is skilled...) then hire this man. You can hire him by dropping a small note in a hollowed out stump in the park.]] | ||||
(OOC: so i do need 5,000 gold either way) | ||||
[[OOC: Yes, pretty much...you can join the army, guard, mercs guild, or school for promotions...]] | ||||
Xarxes goes to the mercs guild, where he recieves his next job to kill Fathis Ules, an Imperial tratior. Xarxes walks down to the Drunken Dragon and stabs his blade through the man's neck before a word could be uttered. Afterwards he presents his writ to a guard and walks back to the mercs guild, where he recieves a promotion to seasoned Mercenary, 400 gold, a steel dagger, and leather greaves. He puts the greaves on and sheaths the dagger on his leg. He is then places in charge of two apprentices, Cecil Felsor and Faltor Erisus. Xarxes trains them in the use of swords for a while, then returns to his house. He has dinner and goes to sleep in the master bedroom. | ||||
*Killer continues working for the day, hoping he'll get enough money to buy the land soon enough. 210 gold, 50 food, place at the Drunken Dragon inn for 6 more days.* | ||||
*Delran is awaiting orders from his superior officer.* [800 gold 100 food] | ||||
"Delran, you're a Sergeant now, so go Duel a Sergeant..." | ||||
*Delran head to the training grounds. There a fellow Sergeant heads towards him.* "Hey, you! Yeah, you, the Sergeant. I am bored of training these worthless maggots in here. Will you be my adversary? I need to fight someone. A friendly match between two men of the same rank. What do you say?" "I am honored to fight with you. And since I do not have anything important right now, I will fight you." *The men draw their swords and took their possitions. A number of soldiers training there stopped and watched as they were circling one another. Suddently, the other Sergeant made his move. He charged towards Delran. Delran saw this and evaded the blow, by jumping on the left. He turned and aimed a blow at his opponent, but he swiftly turned and blocked the blow.* "My, my! You are good at this. This should be a verry good training!" "Thanks you!" *The blows and charges followed one another as if they were rain drops. It could be seen that the two opponents had verry similar skills. But one was superior. Delran was observing his opponent all the time, trying to see if there is a pattern in his moves. Suddently, the Sergeant charged. Delran blocked the blow and threw a punch in his opponents face. Quickly, while the Sergeant was still recovering, Delran knocked him with the hilt of the sowrd in the head. The Sergeant lost his conscience and recovered a few minutes later on the ground.* "A verry good fight, my friend", *said Delran, reaching a hand to help his opponent rise.* "Thank you. You are a good fighter!" *Delran headed to the Drunken Dragon, took his equipment off and went to sleep.* | ||||
[Septim, can you control me for today?] | ||||
[[OOC: I will do your job for you...]] Might is hired to kill Adamus Versil of the City Guard for treason. He kills him while he is on a watch routine and presents his writ. Afterwards he goes to the mercs guild and recieves 300 gold. "One more job until the promotion!" | ||||
[How many jobs do I have untill Lieutenat? And can I have a real one, not a duel?] | ||||
[Same here :)] | ||||
Verthias, halfway through a duel, suddenly blasts apart into his component atoms, which slam into his opponent and rip him to pieces. The cloud of particles lose their momentum, and gradually drift off into the atmosphere... [As you may have guessed, i'm leaving this RP, for now. I may be back later] | ||||
[[OOC: I will make a battle now...then a campaign to sack the enemy city...]] On the horizon, enemies approach. Cavalry, footmen, spearmen, and archers. Septim sees them approach. "Ready the troops and hire anybody you can! This is going to be a bloody fight!", roared Septim to his steward. *** Xarxes sleeps in his house when a knock comes to his door, he walks out to find a tall thin man with a longsword at his side standing on the doorstep. "Mercenary Xarxes, Emperor Septim requires your services in battle, do you accept?" "Of course I do, for Septim!" Xarxes grabs the notice and goes upstairs, he puts on his leather armor and buckles his longsword, he places the steel dagger in a sheath on his leg and places his iron shortsword on his back. He walks out to the gate a heavily armed man representing the Mercenaries Guild in full. The Guild's leader, Cassius Conwell, gets up in front of the thirty men he gathered. "Alright lads! Whomever stays to fight will gain a rank, unless you're a bloody lieutenant!", he roars. *** Similar officials are sent to everybody whom is not a soldier, the soldiers of Erabor are sent to the front gate. [[OOC: Everybody that participates in the battle whom belongs to the guard, Mercs Guild, or Army will gain a rank in their respective guild, and will also see a small share of the loot gained for conquering the enemy.]] | ||||
Verthias suddenly recoagulates amongst the troops mustering for battle, his interest piqued. "A battle, you say?" (Probably still has.. 800 gold?) | ||||
*Delran was at the barracks when the news came. His commander assigned him a squad to lead in battle and sent him along with others to the front gate. Delran and his squad took position in front of the gates along with other units.* [1200 gold 100 food.] | ||||
*Might stands next to Xarxes waiting orders from Cassius Conwell.* "Xarxes, I wonder what well get out of this." | ||||
*Wraith hears the message and nods. He gathers his equipment and, as an after-thought rushes to the Blacksmith for some weaponry or better armour.* [Can I have a list of what is available? And how many arrows do I have] [Items: | ||||
[Septim, can post a list of army rank and equipment for each?] | ||||

Septim, with a spear and Firengard, stands in front of his troops. "The Gordians seek to expand their Empire upon our lands, so let us show them the fury of Erabor!" *** Xarxes stands with his two men, Cecil Felsor and Faltor Erisus. He turns to Might, "I don't know", he then turns around to his men. "Stay close to me, and if I am too fast, stay with Might...", says Xarxes. *** The enemies charge towards the city walls, the archers kill many, but many replace the fallen, they reach the gates and break through the gates. The spearmen kill many more at the gate, but they kill them and the battle begins. | ||||
Zryike works for the day and goes to watch the battle | ||||
Erunion grabs his sword and runs into the fray, slashing and hacking. His men are behind him. | ||||
Xarxes begins dueling a thin, lean Gordian with a longsword like his, his two men duel one man that is more skilled than them. Xarxes dodges a blow and stabs at him, but he dodges sideways and kicks at Xarxes, Xarxes catches the kick and throws the man backwards, the man falls onto the ground and Xarxes stabs his blade into the man's throat. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a man approaching with a double bladed sword. Xarxes slashes at him but he blocks and slashes with the other end, Xarxes jumps backwards and slashes at the enemy, he blocks with the other end and delivers a stab to Xarxes, Xarxes jumps sideways and stabs his blade into the enemy's open chest, the enemy falls down and Xarxes sheaths his sword, he then grabs the enemy's iron double-bladed sword and continues fighting. [[OOC: You can grab enemy weapons, but it can only be up to iron...]] *** Septim delivers a magical blast from his staff that knocks back ten enemies, he then stabs his sword into another. He continues his path of destruction through the battlefield. *** Gordian General Folshnar watches the battle from afar. "It is not faring well...but Gordians never retreat! We die in battle!!!" Folshnar charges into battle and is immediately shot down by several archers. | ||||
*Might rolls out of the way of a two handed claymore and stabs up into the mans neck. Might grabs the claymore and kills his way past Xarxes.* "Xarxes, you slacking! I have killed 8 so far!" | ||||
Xarxes, skilled naturally with his new weapon, slashes through two opponents and stabs a third. "Five here!" Xarxes then rolls under the blade of one enemy and stabs two men's legs from under him before slashing down upon their necks. "Seven!" Xarxes then stabs two more and decapitates the third. "Ten!" Xarxes continues fighting his foes. | ||||
Septim blows the last group of Gordians away with his staff, then turns and looks at his men. "Good work men! But many of us and all of them are dead! I will send gold to all of you who fought for the Empire, and then, if you would like, you can go to war with the Gordians with me personally commanding the assault!" All of the warriors, archers, and mages go back to their respective residences and are given one thousand gold each, by the Empire, and every man who fought is given a shack as a home. Erunion, Xarxes (Septim), Might, Verthias, Delran, and Wraith are the ones who recieve the awards, since Xarxes owns a home already, he is given the worth of a shack, 400 gold, instead. Each member of a guild is also given a rank as a reward. Erunion: Lieutenant Xarxes: Veteren Mercenary Might: Seasoned Mercenary I do not know anybody else's rank, but I am guessing you became Lieutenants in the army. [[OOC: Might, since you started one day after me you are now one rank below me, just as you were before the war...]] Might is given the command of two men by the Mercs Guild (name them yourself...) Xarxes is given command of two more men by the Mercs Guild, making his total four. The new ones names are Bartimaeus and Aesius. He is also given a leather coif and a steel shortsword. Xarxes walks over to the school and gets "great training" in melee combat for 1000 gold and intermediate in magic, smithing, and craftsmanship. Xarxes then goes over to his home and puts on the leather coif, and replaces his iron shortsword on his back with the steel shortsword. He then places the iron double-bladed sword against the wall and goes to sleep. [[OOC: Gold: 550, Food: 100]]

[Toodles and Mr. Fusspot will be my mens names.] | ||||
[[OOC: Hell if I know, I'm guessing around 350-400 gold...those names made me laugh, and then I felt sorry for the mercs, they must have had a lot of trouble in school...]]
| ||||
[[OOC: I'm bored so I will do my job for tomorrow...I will not get credit for this until midnight my time, but still, I want to write something...]] Xarxes and his four men go to the Mercenaries Guild, where they are given the tast of clearing out a bandit base in the city. They go to an old house and Xarxes kicks the door down. His men rush in and quickly kill the bandits, Xarxes has a short, easy duel with their leader, whom is only of intermediate skill and is somewhat easy for Xarxes.

He also gives nicknames to Bartimaeus and Aesius, calling Bartimaeus Bart and Aesius Ace. He dismisses them and walks home, where he has lunch, the lunch is interupted by a knock. Xarxes answers it. "Hello Mr. Xarxes, your services are requested by Emperor Septim once more...in a campaign against the Gordians", says the man. "What's your name?", asks Xarxes. "Me? I am Gaius Gondolin, at your service...", says Gondolin. "Alright Gaius, I am at the Emperor's service, just tell me what I am rewarded with...", says Xarxes. "You will be rewarded with a share of whatever we plunder, and Knighthood under Emperor Septim", says Gondolin. "Alright...sounds good...", says Xarxes. Xarxes goes up to his room and readies himself, he puts on his leather armor, he buckles his steel shortsword to his left leg, he buckles his steel dagger on his right ankle. He buckles his iron longsword to his left side and then slings his iron double bladed sword over his back. He then travels to the shacks and inns of his four men. "Wes, Ace, Bart, and Jon, I am asking you to company me in a war against Gordia, do you accept the invitation?", asks Xarxes. "Yes sir!", says his men. "Good, grab your gear and follow me", says Xarxes. They go to the large HQ at the center of town and are greeted by Gondolin, whom gives Ace, Bart, Jon, and Wes iron shortswords. They walk inside with their leader and await an address by Emperor Septim. [[OOC: Introducing a new idea, squads! Squads allow you to have a group of up to ten men.
