400th post :-) | ||||||
... I'd appreciate if you didn't just come in here to *beep* and get a 400th post. | ||||||
{I'm here! Guarding The Place and commanding one of the towns swat teams...} | ||||||
Ah, good good. Are you buying any spells? | ||||||
Septim walks down to the Mercanaries Guild and buys the services of a Mercanary by the name of Cassius Xarxes for one hundred gold coins a day.
[[List of people in the Place. Cassius Erabor, Mercanary of the Mercs Guild - Youngest brother of the current Guildmaster of the Mercanaries Guild, Tyril Erabor. Cassius is ten years younger than Antonis, and has the skill level of an ordinary guard. Tyril Erabor, Guildmaster of the Mercanaries Guild - Tyril became Guildmaster when his father died. For one hundred years the position of Guildmaster has been with the Erabor family, because usually an Erabor would be 2nd in Command upon the Guildmaster's death. Tyril Erabor seems like an barbaric brute upon first contact, but is actually quite cunning. Cecil Faltor, High General of Killer's Army - In his prime he was one of the greatest warriors to ever grace Killer's grand army, but is now nearing seventy years of age. His cunning and leadership abilities are as sharp as ever. His weapon of choice is a mithril scimitar called Truestrike. The Ringleader, Lord of all Thieves - Little is known about the Ringleader, except for the fact that he was once in Killer's army. Kol Welsus, Captain of the Guard - Kol is the corrupt Captain of the Guard, it is believed that he is on the Ringleader's payroll. Gaius Gondolin, a Captain of Killer's Army - Gondolin is on to Kol's corruption, but currently has no proof of his actions. Gondolin To make things easier for you, Killer, I have made a list of the Important people in The Place. I was also wondering if you could do a fame recount.]]

I bought a few spells a while back. | ||||||
[Who's controlling the NPCs?] | ||||||
[[OOC: As long as it has nothing to do with my getting money or advancement, I can control the NPCs.]] | ||||||
Septim walks into a tavern with poor lighting and sits in the corner booth. A hooded man then walks up and sits across from him. "What fruit have you gotten Daris?", asks Septim. "Only a bit of what you need. It is all here in this envelope...", says Daris. Septim opens up the envelope and reads. __________________________________________________________ My notes on the Ringleader: True name: Unknown. Name used with Killer's army: Garris Zallidar Gender: Male. Height: Anywhere from 5' 10" to 6' 2" Weight: As of five years ago: 180 lbs. The Ringleader used to be a battlemage with Killer's army. He kept to himself, but one day he robbed armory 10B...we know this was not his first theft and that he was already high up in the Brotherhood of the Thieves at that time. We don't know much more at this time, but I do know that one of his Lieutenants is planning a heist on the scroll shop, it will be in two days. Do with this information what you will... __________________________________________________________ Septim slides a sack of gold across the table and walks off without another word. After walking back to his castle he approaches Might. "I have gathered intel on the Brotherhood of Thieves...they are planning to rob the scroll shop and I was wondering if you would accompany me there in two days..." | ||||||
*Might smiles.* "Of course I will.....just tell me what to do." [Have I been promoted or anything yet?] | ||||||
[I can't promote you, or give you a raise. That's up to Septim, as you are his body-guard. You can threaten to leave if you don't get paid more or something, but he can easily hire someone else.] | ||||||
[[OOC: Might is a Sub-Professor in the school...I will promote him. An NPC named Cassius Erabor is my guard.]] "Good, and I have noticed your hard work at the school, here are your papers, you are now a full Professor. Now...we must make plans...Cassius is also to accompany me to the heist, and if I have heard right, five thieves are going to be present. I will battle the Lieutenant. You will battle one, Cassius will battle one...that leaves two more spots to fill. Skorg, I am sure, would be happy to be there...one more spot...Mage Master Zarisus! That is all, I will send messages to all the appropriate people...in two days we will make a critical blow to the Brotherhood...oh, and Might, try not to kill the person you fight, I will knock out the Lieutenant and lock him in the dungeon here. Then we will interogate all of our captives here..." One day later: Septim stands in one of the rooms in his castle, the newly appointed Melee Master Skorg, Magic Master Zarisus, Cassius Erabor, and Might stand before him. "Alright, tomorrow we strike. Zarisus, I would like you to present your axe to Skorg..." Septim hands Zarisus the axe he made him. Zarisus then presents it to Skorg. Skorg takes it happily. Skorg: "Thank you Zarisus, I am sure that it will slay quite a few thieves..." "That brings me to my next point...try your best not to kill the thieves...we need as much intel from them as we can get on the Ringleader..." Zarisus: "I have many non-lethal spells to use..." Skorg: "The other end of this can be used to knock people out....cold..." Cassius: "No problem boss..." "Good...sleep well tonight...for tomorrow we strike..." Septim approaches Zarisus afterwards. "Did you ever find out what those runes meant? I do not want misfortune to befall Skorg..." Zarisus: "If a blow is to be lethal to him, he will be protected...once...by the spell...say if a blow were to find the neck of Skorg. The axe would stop the blow..." "That is quite a powerful enchantment...you are a worthy mage indeed! I am off to bed now...goodnight..." "Goodnight...", says Zarisus. Septim walks to his chambers while the others stay in seperate rooms... | ||||||
Ah, yes sorry... Well, you have to promote the professor's and guys now. Th Ringleader dude has around 100,000 gold stashed away in various places. There are many stashes of treasure around the place that his ummm... thieves and goons have. | ||||||
Septim, Zarisus, Cassius, Might, and Skorg watch five men all walk into the scroll shop. As soon as they are in Septim turns to the others. "Now remember, do not kill any of them unless there is absolutely no other way...", says Septim. Septim leads the four across the street and up to the door. Zarisus performs a powerful spell that unlocks the door and takes off the curse that the Brotherhood had set on the door. Septim opens the door quietly and sees one man holding the shopkeeper up by his neck. Thief: "What is the combination!" Septim walks towards them and smacks one in the back of the head with the hilt of his blade. The four other thieves turn to see Septim and his allies. Thief Lieutenant: "Attack!" Septim locks blades with the lieutenant, Zarisus combats a powerful mage, Might and Cassius combat a good warrior, and Skorg fights another warrior. Septim swings his blade at the lieutenant, but he blocks easily, the lieutenant then kicks Septim on the floor, Septim kicks the lieutenant's feet from under him while on the floor, kicks him in the face, and gets up. The lieutenant gets up with a bloody nose and attacks, Septim blocks... | ||||||
...and kicks the lieutenant in the gut, afterwards Septim throws the lieutenant down on the floor and smashes him in the back of the head with his hilt. Septim then turns to see that Zarisus had already defeated one thief and was helping Skorg overpower the other, Might and Cassius's fight seemed to be an even match, so Septim ran over to the battle, grabbed the thief around the neck while he was occupied with Might and Cassius, and knocks him out, afterwards the five easily overpower the last thief. "Five knocked out...good work...each of us can carry one...", says Septim. A half an hour later the thieves are put into the dungeon and the interogations begin. "Alright thief, start by telling me your name..." "I am a novice! Not even worth the effort!", says the thief. "Then tell me your name...and the names of your comrades, each time you lie a shock will sting your body...so speak the truth!" "Alright, I am Rolland Fos, that one over there is Xaltor, the next one is Resil, that big one is Vorg, and our leader calls himself Nightshade...", says Fos. "Thank you...now, where is your base?", asks Septim. "I don't know, I am contacted by the lieutenants every time we do a heist...", says Fos. "The lieutenant is waking up...I will try him now, thank you for your cooperation..." Septim walks over to Nightshade and kicks him hard in the leg. "Alright...what's your name? And I want none of that Nightshade stuff...", says Septim. "My name? Where am I?", says Nightshade, afterwards he is shocked. "Your name...what is it?", asks Septim. After breathing heavily he looks up at Septim. "My name, it's Cariu-AHHHHHH!!!", yells Nightshade, "ALRIGHT!!! My name is Falto-ARRGGHHHH!!!", after breathing even more heavily he looks up, "My name is Wells, Elson Wells..." "Good, now...where is the Ringleader?", asks Septim. "I am but a novice...I know nothi-IING!!! Dang! That hurts! He spends most of his time in our warehouse...the green one in the slums...that is the truth...", says Wells. "What is his name?", asks Septim. "He does not even tell ME that...what will y-you do with us now?", asks Wells. "I will turn you all over to the guard, where we should get quite the bounty for you...", says Septim. Septim and the others escort the thieves to the guard. They give them their bounty of 20,000 gold. Septim gives 4,000 to each of his allies and leads them to the warehouse. "We strike now, before any news can reach them...", says Septim as he draws his sword, "Prepare yourselves..." Might, Zarisus, Cassius, and Skorg prepare themselves. "Alright, Zarisus, got any invisibility spells?" "I do", says Zarisus. "Alright, use it if we get discovered.", says Septim as he sneaks forward. After an hour of sneaking around the defenses, they manage to get in, and when they do they are amazed...they see a massive amount of treasure in the center of the warehouse, surrounded by many crates. "Jackpot...our backup should arrive soon...", says Cassius. "What backup?", asks Septim. "I hired fifteen mercanaries to back us up with my share of the bounty...", says Cassius, "They are all good men." "Alright, lets wai-", Septim is cut off by a horn blowing, suddenly the whole warehouse mobilizes. One runs by Septim shouting "Intruders!" "They got caught...while they are fighting we will take the Ringleader and whatever guards he has...", says Septim. Cassius gets up, "I have to help my brothers, it is my duty!" "Then go swiftly!" Cassius runs off and Septim leads the professors to the large room at the end of the hallway. They find the door locked, but Skorg breaks it down with his axe. They all run into the room to see a man in black robes before them. "Ringleader...", says Septim. "That is I, how did you find me?", replies the Ringleader. "We have our ways, surrender, if not you will be destroyed!", says Zarisus. "Wait...is that you Septim?", asks the Ringleader. "Yes, it is I, the one you abandoned and left to the guards!", yells Septim. "I did not leave you. I had to save the other thieves and we could not go and retrieve you, one novice for ten thousand coins was quite a good deal.", says the Ringleader. "And it has now led to your downfall, prepare yourself!", yells Septim. Septim draws his blade. "This is between the Ringleader and I...go help the mercs!", says Septim as he launches an attack on the Ringleader. Zarisus, Skorg, and Might leave and Septim is left alone with the Ringleader. Septim attacks with force and the Ringleader parries with his rapier. "Hmmmm, you have gotten better. I have heard that you have gained the rank of Headmaster at the academy", says the Ringleader. Septim does not respond as he attacks with Firengard, the quicker rapier parries the longsword and slashes at Septim, but Septim draws Icengard and blocks. "A shortsword and a longsword? Hmmmm...", says the Ringleader. Septim attacks with the longsword and while the Ringleader parries Septim strikes at him with Icengard, creating a deep gash in the Ringleader's stomach. | ||||||
Septim ties up the Ringleader with some rope and picks up the mithril rapier he was using. "Quickthorn, that is no longer your owner...", says Septim as he slings the rapier across his back. Septim walks outside to find that the mercs had one that battle with nine casualties, including Cassius. After giving the Ringleader to the guards and giving the news to Antonis, Septim and the others split the gold and loot. [[OOC: Might - 20k, five iron longswords, a set of chainmail armor, and a crate of 3000 food. Zarisus - 20k, some scrolls, and some robes. Skorg - 20k, two battleaxes, and a drinking horn. Septim - 20k and some land deeds. The rest of the gold (There was over a million there...) goes to Killer and his Kingdom.]] Septim goes back to his castle with Might, while the others go home. Septim goes up to his vault and puts the 20,000 gold coins into it. Afterwards he studies the land deeds to find that they included the twenty acres of land around his castle, along with the warehouse, and a bunkhouse in the slums. Septim puts the land deeds in the safe in his vault, locks it, and goes to bed. [[OOC: The bunkhouse is worth about 300 gold, the warehouse is worth about 2,500, and the lands around my castle are worth around 3,000. That adds up to about 25k, which is what I would have gotten anyways.]] | ||||||
{If you have any orders for a lowly sergeant to carry out, I'll be on it.} | ||||||
Gondolin approaches Erunion. "Mr. Telcontar, we have captured the Ringleader and a lieutenant, but there are still other Brotherhood members out there, it is not over yet..." | ||||||
[1 million, wow... Time to buy me 100 large castles... Well, 92 or whatever... That's ok I suppose...] *Killer graciously accepts the gift. He ponders what to do with it...*
Ok, that's just as easy as explaining Septim's message in other words. I think the numbers beside them are what the person gets, Septim please tell me. They're fine if so... and for building them... (Each figure is seperate from the last) You have to build a Settlement, then a Village, and so on. Settlement - 10,000 gold Village - 5,000 gold Small town - 10,000 gold Medium town - 15,000 gold Large town - 20,000 gold Small City - 25,000 gold Large City - 30,000 gold Massive City - 35,000 gold Metropolis - 50,000 gold A good investment in the long run... | ||||||
Septim sends messages to all the appropraite people to begin construction of his settlement. When the foremen come he pays them 10,000 gold to begin construction. After they are done he pays them another 5,000 to upgrade it to a village. After they are done with that he pays them 10,000 to upgrade it to a small town, when done he thanks them. He then gives two settlers the job of guard for 100 gold a day. [[OOC: They're what the person gets...]]
| ||||||
Verll walks around in his castle, having finished the classes for today. With nothing else to do he sits down and starts to create elixirs, after some hours creating some health and refresh vials he decide to start to explore new elixirs, mixing things never been mixed before. | ||||||
Septim is sitting quietly when Verll walks into his office at the academy. "Greetings Verll, how are you?" | ||||||
Verll grins at Septim. | ||||||
[[OOC: Killer, I have the position of planner, and I have had many ideas, when do I get paid?]] "That is not good, you can stay in my castle in Erabor, it is only twenty miles away from here, I am the Lord of that town..." After work Septim leads Verll to his small town and takes Verll to a room in the castle. Septim has Verll sit down at his bed and Septim takes a seat in a chair. "Verll, there are houses available in my city, as it is just sprouting up...there are no castles here except mine I'm afraid, but there is a three room house for one thousand gold...I believe you should have that much saved up..." | ||||||
Verll nods. | ||||||
"Alright..." Septim walks out and up to the master bedroom, where he too falls asleep. | ||||||
Verll wakes up and looks around. Remembering what had happened he stood up from the bed and decided to go look for somewhere to make food cause he was starving. | ||||||
Septim walked down a few minutes later fully dressed with a piece of paper in his hand. "This is the deed to the three room house, if you give me one thousand coins it is yours." | ||||||
Errr... why did you blow up your castle? I reckon you've got a nice elixir there at any rate, if you feel brave enough to try it again... *Septim glances up as Killer just appears in the room. "Sorry, I'm busy, so I couldn't walk down here in time. However, here is a chest of gold, of the stuff you got mind you, of 20,000 gold. For some random reason..." He drops the chest of gold, and disappears...* Sorry, forgot to give you gold for each of your ideas... | ||||||
[I don't really think I'm gonna do that one again xD] | ||||||
"Well, that was interesting...anywho, I now present to you, Professor Verll, this deed to represent your ownership of a three bedroom house in the town of Erabor." After Verll leaves to his new home Septim calls in the foremen. "I want you to upgrade this town to the medium town status for 15,000 gold..." Foremen: "As you command..." The foremen construct many houses and a few farms and Septim gives them 15,000 coins, afterwards Septim converts his entrance hall into a throne room and sends a request to King Killer for the title of Count. [[OOC: If you are the Lord of a city and the county you were considered a Count were you not?]] | ||||||
Suppose so... *Killer grants the request of Septim...* | ||||||
*Might finds Septim somewhere in his castle.* "Hey, sense you are building a settlement I guess ill help you run it. If its ok with you." [I just came back from vacation.] | ||||||
"Hmmmm, well Might, you have 20,000 coins plus whatever you had before you left...so why not build a small castle here, we have plots available. You can be my Steward, though I will not be able to pay you for it for a while, our coffers are running low.", says Septim. [[OOC: Thanks Killer, now I'm Count of Erabor. Do I have to attend court meetings?]] | ||||||
*Might thinks.* "Good idea. I agree ,but lets shake on it." *Might puts out his hand.* | ||||||
*Septim shakes Might's hand. "Give me four thousand gold coins and that land plot is yours to build on...I can't just give land away for free..." | ||||||
"Of course. Ill wire it you your account." "I mean ill get a cart ready!" *Might walks away and gets ready to make a castle.* [What do I need for the castle?] | ||||||
[[OOC: Pay 6,000 gold coins to a foremen team, then fast-forward to when it's done...like so: Might pays 6,000 coins to the foremen team, and when it's done he pays them 6,000 gold coins....]] Septim puts all of the chests of gold into his treasury and sits upon his throne. | ||||||
*Might hires a foreman team ,and pays them 6000 gold coins when they fini*beep*.* "I wonder if I can be the head of Magic in this new town..." | ||||||
[[OOC: When it grows to large city a branch of the school will move here, you can work there as the Magic Master of the Erabor Academy...]] | ||||||
Errr... no, you don't have to attend court meetings... | ||||||
[[OOC: Phew, that would have been a pain, writing all that...I'm writing a lot as it is...]] | ||||||
[Septim what does the land look like in your town? Make a quick paint thing to show me please.] | ||||||
[[OOC: It's pretty much wide open grassland, however there is a small lake at the edge of town...]] | ||||||
*Septim takes 20,000 of his 30,000 remaining gold and upgrades the city to large town. Septim then hires the best and wisest of his his guards, Antonis Xarxes, to be his guard Captain. [[NPCs of Erabor: Foreman Dessius Foreman Rolland Foreman Damus Foreman Corlus Captain Antonis Xarxes I have 10,000 gold left right now, I will start saving until it reaches 35,000, which will be about 10 real days...]] | ||||||
[My castle is at the small lake. It will serve as a excellent play for defense.] *Might walks over to Septim* "Septim, we need to start thinking of defenses. We also need to build up trade." | ||||||
Erunion is pacing back and forth in his room in the barracks, chafing as the bit as the saying goes, wondering when his services will be needed by Killer or his ally Septim. | ||||||
[Come work for me! In my castle!] | ||||||
{No thank you...} | ||||||
*The general paced around the room. Many soldiers were amoung it's ranks, Erunion one of them. There have been raids on near-by villages. There is a band, if you would call it that, as it must be made of 5,000 anyway, are terrorising the farmers and village dwellers. I'll be sending out 1,000 men(There's 20,000 soldiers in total, there's been an influx of people into the place from surrounding cities) to deal with them, but don't worry, they are poorly equipped and not well trained. Go now I'll sort this out on who's to go. Later, Erunion recieves word that he is to go out and stop these people, and he has a band of 100 men to lead with 9 other sergeants. He heads off, to the nearest village, hoping he won't have to hard a time of it. They are all recruits apart from the other sergeants.* [Anyone else in the army may also go off and fight these renegades] | ||||||
