19:48:32 May 27th 08 - Mr. Killer:

500 gold a day for an expert fighter? *sigh*... I hope there's no chances of getting caught...


Name: Killer
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 120 lbs
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Blue
Build: Skinny
Age: 18
Skills:
Fighting: Expert
Reading: Journeyman

Occupation: Mercenary
Gold: 3065
Items: Longsword, Steel axepike, Medal of Valnus

*Killer takes his sword, clean and shimmering, from its rack. He takes a few practise swings as he limps towards the battle grounds. He finds this time he managed to go to the right place. He dances with his sword in front of the soldiers, striking at vulnerable spots, using his expertise over their fitness. With his walking-stick, which he had brought just in case, he lashed out with its longer reach. He turned, and saw a massive man, ne*beep*ven foot tall, and half as wide, wielding an axepike, clearing a large ring around him. Killer knows he is in for a tough fight. He circles the giant, who strikes out with the axe-pike, but Killer easily dodges this. The giant makes another strike, this time aiming for his head, but Killers stick appears in front of its path in a blur. It slows the axepike, and Killer leaps forward, sword in hand, slashing at the ginat's belly. He strikes lucky, the armour was poor, and the aim was good. He is awarded with a sickening groan. Killer takes the axepike from him, which is conviently quite small, only a foot or so over Killer's height, and with which he lashes out at the enemy. When eventually the Seronian army defeats the Valkrondians, Killer's wound is treated from the previous battle, along with various scars. Killer is awarded 1,000 gold, and goes home.*

Ernie FINALLY finished his book after interruptions from some stupid war (=p) and sold his book for 600 gold.  He then went and took a class in Veteran Oration for 1200 gold.  He then became a Seronian Diplomat with a cool Diplomatic Passport with a picture of him painted on it(before photos lol) and diplomatic immunity from the laws of countries that werent total meanies.  He then planned on starting work the next day for 800 gold per day.  Ernie then bought some veggies and fruit before heading home, doing some workouts for his arms only (leg is hurt), rebandaged his leg and went to sleep

[[OOC: Now introducing: fun!

There are many ways to have fun, each costs a day, so if you have a lot of money and you want to have your character have fun for the roleplaying factor...some have a chance of giving money back...remember, all work and no play makes you a dull boy! (Not really...)

Go drinking: If you drink too much your liver goes to hell and death is the result.
Cost - 20 gold.

Play cards: You have a 20% chance of winning fairly, 90% with cheating, however you have a 50% chance of getting caught and thrown in jail for 3 real days. Cost - 50 gold, Possible winnings - 400 gold.

Go swimming: Do this three days in a row to gain an athletic build.

Vandalism: Considered fun to some people (I consider it annoying...). You have a 50% chance of getting caught, if you do you're in jail for 3 days.

Play chess: Intellectual game, 30% chance of giving you a journeyman tactics skill if you're a novice.

Horse racing: Costs 100 gold unless you own a horse, which reminds me, I need to add horses! Anyways, 10 gold if you have one. You always recieve a weak horse if you pay...

All I can think of on fun right now.

Horses -

Purposes - You can ride them into battle on cavalry charges, or you can race them. They can also be used for transportation. Transportation on foot takes 3 days to go anywhere (from a small town ten miles away to a capital city 300 miles away). 2 days on anything from an old weak horse to an average horse. 1 day on everything from an old strong horse to a godly horse.

Stabling - For any horse it costs 100 gold a day. You have your own stable if you have a large estate, so you'd only need to buy food for 10 gold a day.
Old weak horse - 150 gold. Chance of winning horse race - 2%.
weak horse - 200 gold - 5%
old average horse - 400 gold. 10%
average horse - 1000 gold. 15%
old strong horse - 2000 gold. 30%
strong horse - 3000 gold. 50%
old champion horse - 5000 gold. 60%
champion horse - 10000 gold. 75%
godly horse - 30000 gold. 90%. Can only be bought if you rule a country.]]

 

Septim finishes his book early in the morning and goes to get a job as an expert scholar. He finds one under a wealthy man named Garius Umbravon, who owns a large chain of various shops. Septim is given 1600 gold for his first day's work and on the way home buys Reading for Experts for 4800 gold and sells his old book for 1200 gold, half it's value. Next door Septim buys a loaf of bread. And after walking down a few streets he reaches his shack. He walks in and sets the book down on a table, after readng the first chapter he eats his loaf of bread and starts his workout routine, he then goes to bed.

01:10:16 May 30th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim:

[[OOC: I am doing this now so nobody posts before it happens, this is for tomorrow. If you really don't feel like reading, I'll put a summary.
Killer, Ernie, Erunion, and I recieve the Medal of Seron, a full set of Seronian steel scalemail with a kiteshield and a beautiful steel longsword complete with your family crest on the hilt. We also recieve 5,000 gold and the title of Knight. Lelouch/Fizban doesn't get that yet as he started later than us, however he does have 3 PP, and he gets 1,000 gold, a set of iron Seronian scalemail, and an iron longsword and kiteshield. Everybody also gains a rank in the Seronian Army, Killer and I have the rank of Lieutenant. Erunion has the rank of Captain, not sure what Ernie has, but if his rank was Junior Lieutenant like Erunion's than he too is a Captain.]]

Septim wakes in the early hours of the morning to bells going off, he recognizes the sound to be that of an alarm. Septim puts on his armor, buckles his longsword, and picks up his shield. Upon arriving, his commanding officer, Erunion Telcontar, is giving out orders.

"We will begin our march in one hour, anybody who leaves this castle will be held", says Telcontar.

***

After many days of marching, the large Seronian Army reaches the city of Versos, conquering it. It continues through all of the Valkondian Empire, conquering city after city until reaching the capital.

***

[[OOC: By the way, everybody has gained a skill level in fighting, unless that person is a master. Everybody also gained a skill point in tactics, unless you are a master.]]

Septim attacks, now a junior lieutenant. He strikes with ferocity at a Valkondian militiaman, cutting him in half. He continues, smashing a man's face with a shield and stabbing another with his longsword, he pulls it out and kicks the shield-bashed man down, stabbing him when down. He looks back at his men.

"Charge!", he yells, along with every commander on the battlefield. The Seronian Army had taken many cities by what General Serillius had called the "Pie or Death" strategy. He would make an impressive show of force, and enter the city with his best men. He would then make an offer, surrender or die. Most cities had surrendered, not having nearly enough men to defend, and Hasillius had no deaths in many cities. Septim continues forward, slaying many men, until reaching the gates, he holds up his shield to block oil falling down upon them while the men use the catapult to bust the gates open. After the gates are down, the men rush in, courageous militiamen try to hold off the army, but they are no match for the seasoned army of Seron. Septim had made friends with many officers in his time in the army, but one of his best was his old commanding officer, Erunion Telcont*beep*ptim sees him slaying many with his blade and laughs before plunging his blade into the heart of a poor militiaman.

***

The battle soon ended, with Seron being victorious. Septim stayed in the old Valkondian barracks one night before going to a banquet the next night, Septim was promoted to Lieutenant and given the Medal of Seron, along with Killer for his fighting, Ernie for his tactical skill, Telcontar for his tactical skill, and ten others. Each recipient is also given 5,000 gold. Each soldier also recieves 1,000 gold. Every Medal of Seron recipient is also Knighted in a large ceremony and given a beautiful steel Seronian longsword with the recipient's family crest on the hilt and a suit of steel Seronian scalemail with their family crest on it, Septim's is a white dragon in a golden circle.

[[OOC: This war gave us all (including Fizban) 2 PP. We had 3 PP before. So we all have the titles of Knight. If you want you can post you're family crest if you want. ]]

General Hasillius becomes Duke Hasillius of Hassovon (the new name for Valkond). He is given the Medal of Seron as well. He personally duels and kills King Valkar in the Battle for Valkos.

Lieutenant Bertilius Septim marches home with all other Tysonians to be greeted as a war hero. Septim walks home and takes of his armor. Septim then sees his book on the way out.

"I knew I forgot something on the campaign...", mutters Septim before walking out.

Septim walks to the bakery and buys a loaf of bread. He then goes home and eats, afterwards he reads until falling asleep.

[[OOC: No work tomorrow, I hope 5,000 gold and knighthood is enough for Killer, Erunion, and Ernie :-P. I hope 1,000's enough for Fizban.

(Actual family crest...Im English wooo)

[[The color red represents military strength, There is a small patch of blue(on helmet) that represents loyalty, and the white represents peace.

The upside down V shape represents power, the shield shape signifies Protection, faithful service

The lion on the left represents fierce courage, The hunting horn (2nd thing on left) represents high nobility, The tower is wealth, the helmet symbolizes wise defense.  Finally the small crosses on the shield represent Christian significance.]]

This is my actual family crest and the meanings that I could discover.  There are several different variations out there but its mostly the same.

Ernie, you can be the Captain of the Fifth Archery Division, you command 100 archers. You will recieve very light chainmail armor, not as durable as the steel scalemail, but flexible. You will also recieve a well made yew longbow and a quiver of twenty Seronian arrows painted with a yellow ring to help identify them as yours, but this will be given instead of the blade...can't give you a compound bow, it's too much of a modern bow.]]

 


05:48:16 May 30th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange:

[[lol yeah I was hoping you wouldnt notice >_> and i would rather have a yew short bow since a longbow is about the height of the person using it and would not make it very good for quick movement]]

[[And part of my family still lives in the same castle that was build...it is one of the three families in England that has had an unbroken male line dating back before the Norman conquest in 1066 and can trace its ancestry back to Saxon times.  Has had some pretty famous events happen inside the castle which is one of the oldest in England....a gift from William the Conquerer...and my family motto is "Dieu avec nous" i looked it up and its French i believe (dont get that part) but it means "God with us"]]

Erunion, after his successful campaign, improvements his two training courses to the next level up.
After the banquet is over, Erunion approaches his superior officer with the suggestion of a new type of fighting force, which he would command and train himself, but would be Crown equipped.
This fighting force would utilize revolutionary tactics, which although were none too fancy, would be incredibly practicle.
{More info if I'm given the go-ahead. No, this won't be an army of crazy ninja dudes...}

Septim goes to the house of Garius Vosolon, leader of the Tysonian Guild of Merchants and owner of a massive chain of various types of shops. Septim walks in to be greeted by several scholars working on a large project.

"Greetings Sir Bertilius Septim", says Garius, "You're exploits in the Valkondian War are quite renowned, and that is good. I require one who can fight as well as research. I am looking for the sacred tablet of King Resdyn. I know it exists, the proof is undeniable, that is why I have hired you as well as all of these other fine scholars. You're pay will start at 1600 gold a day, and can increase to 3600 gold a day if you get more done."

"Alright Mister Vosolon, I will begin work immediately", says Septim.

***

After working for eight hours and finding a few facts about the tablet, Septim wanders to a stream outside the city and swims for an hour before heading to the bakery. He orders a loaf of bread and walks to the barracks, leaving a note for Erunion. Septim then proceeds to walk home. After eating he unbuckles his Seronian family longsword and buckles his old Seronian longsword, he then puts his Tysonian shortsword and all of his other old armor in a box and carries them to the armory. He sells his Tysonian shortsword, round shield, and helmet. He then sells his Seronian longsword. All of them for 650 gold. He walks home with his gold, on the way dropping it at the bank, and sits in his shack.

"When I get the payraise, I'm buying a better house", mutters Septim before reading. Septim reads a chapter before falling asleep.

a massive giant fire and ice and poison breathing invincible immortal fleet of 10 million dragons comes and kills everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[OOC: Ernie's post is void...but Bombadil's isn't...hehehe...]]

The legendary King of Gods and God of Time, Mastros, comes before the God Chaoticus, the God of Chaos, and Chaoticus shrinks from his massive size. Aira, the God of the Sky, Oceanus, God of the Sea, Infernius, God of Fire and Hell, and Eartha, God of the Land. The four Gods destroy the massive fleet of dragons and banish them from the world while Mastros combats Chaoticus. Mastros wins and banishes him to the abyss, never to return. The four lesser deities recreate the world as it was, complete with the humans who were on it. Every person, every thing, every dust particle, is put back into place. The deities leave, followed by Mastros, and the world goes on the way it was before.

"Happy birthday to me", says Septim, "I'm twenty..."

Septim walks home and goes to sleep.

The followers listen to you, you're their leader, though they won't do any extreme things like give you of their money and what not.

20:54:32 May 31st 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

{I exchanged the thick short metal kite shields for Scotums, exchanged the long swords for gladius style swords, and then bought as many javelins as I could afford. I only really had to pay for the javelins, as the money I made on swords would have covered slightly more expensive shields. As you can see, I'm trying to turn my disorganized medieval style fighting force into a more orderly and better equipped Romanesque one.
With the game, scratch the money from that one. I just played it for fun then, to get to know my under-officers.}

05:26:20 Jun 1st 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

Veris Tysin, former King of Tysolon, approaches the throne room of Emperor Serisar, he does not bow as he approaches.

"Emperor Serisar, you liberated our people, and for that I am greatful, but I ask that my Kingdom be returned to me", says Tysin.

"I am sorry, but the Duchy of Tysolon is under our control", says Serisar.

"But it was our land!", yells Tysin.

"Your people aren't safe with you in charge. Valkar would have seen to it that you and all the people loyal to you were killed had my army not shown up to defend", says Serisar.

"How dare you question my ability to rule!", yells Tysin.

"Leave, before I have you charged with treason", says Serisar.

"You'll regret this...", mutters Tysin before storming off.

***

Tysin returns to Tysos, capital of the Duchy of Tysolon, where he begins to gather support, many former Tysonian soldiers join him as they prepare for war against Seron.

***

A man knocks on Septim's door as he gets ready in the morning. Septim opens to door to see a man in a black robe with a hood over his face.

"Bertilius Septim?", asks the man.

"That is I", says Septim.

"I am Ungar, loyal servant to the true King Tysin. I am here to ask if you would join our cause", says Ungar.

"I am sorry, but I swore an oath the day I became a knight to defend Seron, not attack it, and I don't break oaths", says Septim.

"You'll be paid well", says Ungar.

"I am afraid no amount of money or power can buy my loyalty", says Septim, "And you're a fool for trying."

Septim slams the door in Ungar's face and continues getting ready. Septim buckles his longsword and wears his cuirass underneath his robes, just in case. Septim goes through work with no problems. Septim buys a loaf of bread, eats, goes swimming, and reads before going to sleep.

[[OOC: All of you will be approached by recruiters for the old king, if you refuse, you stay loyal to Seron, if you accept, you will fight for Tysolon. The battle will be tomorrow.

Erunion went into his friend Septim's house.
"Like you, I swore an oath to serve Serilon. There is an opening in my company for a lieutenant. Would you accept this position, at least for the war that is sure to come?"


06:07:13 Jun 1st 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

"Of course, all of my platoon will come as well, around twenty-five, they are at the barracks", says Septim as he walks over to his table, he writes a letter and signs it, he then hands it to Erunion.

"This will notify them of this action", says Septim, "Give it to a Master Sergeant Cavolor, he is my second in command during wartime. May your sword always strike true."

[[Since im doubting my ability to be on tomorrow due to parties....here i go]]

*BAM BAM BAM*  Ernie woke up...it was the crack of dawn and he really wanted to get another hour of sleep at least.....he got out of bed and walked to his door(which btw wasnt standing up too well to the pounding on the door)  *Door falls in*  "What could be so important that you need to wake me up, AND knock my door in?

"I bring a messege from King Tysin" 

"Tysin is not a king anymore"

"He will be....if you help us....we are planning on overthrowing that fool king of Seron and bring back the glory of our empire!"

"Your dreams are those of fools...leave now or my wrath will be quick and fierce"

"NO YOU ARE THE FOOL!"  *Man lunges at Ernie but is easily dodged...suddenly Martin Feldir rushes in and shoots an arrow through the mans throat*

"Seems like things may not be as peaceful as I worked to make them...."

Ernie headed to work carrying his bow and longsword with him.  He had his followers with him at all times in case anything happened....he worked his shift and bought some fruit and veggies.  He then headed home and did his exercises there instead of swimming.

Rumors spread about an old man in the northern hills that lives in an old tower. His beard is long, his age old, but his wisdom is the greatest in the land. His name is Fallos, and he is a master of all forms of the arcane arts. He is willing to pass on his secrets, for a very large price. Magic is not an easy skill to learn, and it takes a lot of money.
