Forums / Roleplaying / THE VILLAGE - THE NEW WORLD

[[OOC: Baby horses are cute!]]

Electric wondered where his farmers were that had run off into the forest. He watched as a new pony tried to walk, but only stumbled around the stable.

Hirgon's scouting expeditions all returned several days later than expected, and the parties staggered into the village one by one over the course of two days.  They had traveled through some difficult terrain, and found good places for farms, homes, defensive positions, and the like.

Hirgon considered Wilber's proposal.  "We can definitely do that for covering open land, as well as sp*beep* forests.  Much of the island is dense forests and swampy land, so for that territory we'll still have to use men on foot."

Demonsul called Electric in urgently. "I thought I made this clear, but I guess I forgot. Start setting up farms! Use the seeds we brought, or find some, I don't care! We may have a food crisis on our hands if we don't hurry!"

Later, Demonsul ordered all the police/guards to guard the food supplies and kill Rilps on sight.

[[OOC: No problem, Electric.  I was planning on RPing in some events while scouting and really didn't expect you to do anything.  I haven't had the energy to do anything creative here these past few days.]]

Hirgon sends his less-adept archers into the fields and surrounding woodlands to search for any of the Rilp's predators.  "If we can domesticate the beast's natural predator," Hirgon said to the Beastmaster, "we can keep the Rilps away and use the men guarding the foodstuffs elsewhere."

[[OOC: It auto zooms if you bring it up in another window]]

Hirgon watched the eximprovements with amusement, holding back a smile as the workers wondered how they were going to pick bananas from apple trees.  He then gathered the 19 men who had scouted with him and held a quiet conference.

The archers who found the berries handed them to Electric to examine and test.

Hirgon approaches Wilber later that day.  "How many horses do we have available?  I'd like to send out ten groups of four men each, at least for now, all on horseback.  They won't go far - the ride should only take a couple of hours - but the task I have planned for them may take several days."

Electric walked up to his men and punched 3 of them in the jaw. "You *beep*s, those are apple trees! The banana trees are over there!" said Electric pointing. He brought the berries in to study by himself, since his scholars were all busy.

Wilber, laying down in his hammock, within his new wooden cabin, with beach view (that he had "rented" from some unemployed who wouldn't use it anyway!) was approached by Hirgon. Upon him asking a question, Wilber smiled, oppened his eyes and sat up.

"We have fifty grown horses at our disposal. However, I would of liked to keep 15 incase an emergency unfolds. I'm guessing in these groups of four, two would be archers and two of my cavalry men?"

Wilber lays back down, shutting his eyes.

"Fine, take however many horses you need. You said you'd only be a few hours. Lets keep it that way."

"Disrespectful swine!" yelled Septim before turning to Demonsul, "I can kill him if you want...chop his head clean off..."

Alphonse lay in his crude hut contimplating his next course of action. 

I wanted to cure this disease as fast as possible, but Electric seems so overburdened..

As he thought, two of the ten beastmasters who were sent scouting entered the hut. They explained that they may have found the Rilps natural preditor. Intrigued, he read the report immediately.

Pythos: A semi-large snake that seems to feed primarely on Rilps. It is from two to three feet long in adulthood, and is covered in large black spots that seem to resemble arrows. It is primarely brown, and is reportedly not aggressive tword humans. We have observed the snake enter a Rilps hole, and divour eight to nine Rilps in a matter of minutes. It feeds every two days, and has great potential for tameing.

After reading the report, Alphonse immediately sent word to Demonsul. He also ordered the ten beastmasters to brief 10 more beastmasters on the snake. Then all twenty were to set about training and breading the snakes. He also sends a request to Electric for the help of five scholars regarding the disease and the possible Rilps solution.

[[ Sorry, i dont have spell check on this computer XD]]

Some of the scholars were open mouthed at Electric's words, but this was not out of loyalty. Turning, Electric found that Demonsul was standing right behind him. "Moods, you say? I'll be sure to work on that," said Demonsul sarcastically. "While you are so busy fishing, see if you can dredge up some of the supplies that fell overboard while we were landing. If you get them, they contain farming supplies, and should help speed you along with your assignment."

Later, Demonsul received word from Alphonse about the pythos. He immediatley went to Alphonse's cabin and congratulated him. "With any luck, we wont need to worry about feeding the entire Rilps population any longer. You have done well. Keep this up, and you might be facing promotion."

*Ranraac heard a man enter the quarters and turned to look at him. The man started blabbering, something clearly disturbing him, but he wasn't making any sense. Telling him to sit down, Ranraac calmed him down and listened slowly to what the man he had to say. Apparently, a sort of disease had broken out and was affecting the villagers. Thinking calmly, and calling the two healers, Fali Gorha and Rimadan Mahakeem, to him, Wraith asked ''What are the symptoms of the disease? And how many are sick?''*

Demonsul assigns the unemployed as laborers who will start mining. He also ordered the smiths to get ready for work, becuase tools will lead the way forward!

Septim turned from Demonsul after receiving his orders. He then walked to the barracks and gathered what men the village could spare (I really don't know, up to Killer) and went off into the wild. They killed (up to Killer...) before returning back and dropping off what they gathered in the food storage.

[You'll find out what's after level 8 in due course. If you survive, and if this manages to keep going 'til then. Oh, and by the way, you can't pass boats along the side of the continent, for unknown reasons... You could try...]
The mages and scholars cured the sick, and the injured infantry.

The scholars figured out a plan for the farm, and some labourers started working on it(one day to make the farm, sow seeds etc. And another one for you to get any food out of it :P). Some labourers also started digging/mining the ores(you won't get much for a while).

[Rght, since Wraith is going to stop playing VU, I'm guessing he won't be doing this anymore. Anyone want to swap their position for a mage?]

[[OOC: I could be the War Chief, Captain of the Guard, and the Head Mage...^_^]]

As the man in charge of defenses, Septim began sending out patrols into the scouted areas, he also began setting up sentry posts. After setting up the patrols and posts with the men, he went to Head Councilor Demonsul's office.
"Sir, those damn leppits are eating the food...so I suggest that we kill some of them off and imply a restriction on how many lepits can be in the village at once," said Septim.

In the farms, various plants being to grow, and some crops are harvested for food. However, most are trees, and will take a while to grow.

You are going to be attacked tomorrow.

They came charging across the plain, a humble scouting part of one score beings. But, they rode on massive beasts, and wielded heavy javelins and vicous curved swords. They were the newly named Eplopes. Lanoc observed them from his perch, as the guards roared at the intrusion. Lanoc took out his log, and scribbled furiously.

Eplopes
These strange beings have six limbs, two much like our own legs, and four others, all very similiar, I cannot detect any differences of note. These limbs seem to have three sections, and they can move them at a rapid rate. They have a sort-of hand like structure at the end, two long fingers and a bowl-like palm, which can widen and narrow at will. They are short and fat creatures really, and can only waddle at top speed. They however, seem to have armour-like skin, indeed, much thicker than armour I've seen. A turtle-shell is the closest I could come to describing it. Otherwise, they are similar in shape to humans, apart from for obvious canine teeth. As for the creatures they ride...


Hunquils
These beasts are of massive bulk, yet they gallop at amazing speeds, and can easily endure a long run, even with the heavy beings on their backs. They have blunt and small teeth however, so we can at least be relieved they are not carnivores. They seem to anger easily however. They are alike to a horse, but of bigger size, and seem to run with a lope mostly. They also have no necks, and are incredibly furry, the temperature mustn't be too warm from whence they originated.

Oh, ermmm... The sentries blew their horns when they spotted them, but they're really fast. As for killing the leppits, Electric needs to kill them, or else Stickman(Stickman can't change them into food though).

[This is going to be interesting]

Demonsul came running from his cabin, his cloak flapping in the wind. Rushing up to Septim, he demanded, "What is it?! What's going on?"

Demonsul looked slightly daunted. "I did not know anyone had colonized--" he catches sight of the scouting party. "HOLY GODS!! What the hell are they?!" Demonsul turned away. "Septim, deal with them as you see fit! Do what will keep this settlement safe!"
