| 18:54:33 Jun 1st 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II: [[OOC: As a majority of the players have stayed on Seron's side, I will type the battle now.]] "Today! We take back what is ours! Today! We drive out the foreign invaders and reclaim our land! Now let us go forth and fight!", roars Tysin as he draws his longsword, he holds it in the air and the crowd before him cheers. From a hidden fort outside the city, a massive army of revolutionary soldiers armed with Seronian and Tysonian weaponry attacks. Septim hears the battle and grabs his longsword, he puts on his armor and runs outside. He looks around and sees the far away figure of Erunion Telcontar giving out orders on the wall. Septim runs over there and meets him. [[OOC: I am controlling a few characters here, sorry.]] "Bertilius! Grab a bow!", yells Erunion when suddenly a large projectile is launched from a far away trebuchet, it crashes into the wall and the wall collapses. Septim, standing on the edge, falls down with it. He rolls to divert force from any one part of his body. Septim lands on a large chunk of the wall with no broken bones but a few bruises. Septim draws his longsword and sees a rather large army running at him. "Oh...great...", mutters Septim, he turns around to see a large group of Seronians coming up behind him. "Form a shield wall!", yells Septim. The Seronians form a large shield wall, and the Tysonians crash into it. Septim stands at the rear giving support to the people in front. Suddenly, the Tysonian army disengages and flees. Septim wonders why, when he sees the trebuchet in the distance firing. "RUN!", yells Septim as he runs off, the projectile goes crashing down on the shield wall, crushing many. Septim manages to escape, along with ten others, as they were in the back with him. "Draw your bows, take out as many as possible as they charge towards us!", yells Septim. The men draw their bows, every one being at least a journeyman at ranging. They begin firing, hitting their marks almost every time. Septim senses his death as the large army goes through the collapsed wall. Septim draws his blade. "For Seron!" "Charge men!", yells a familiar voice. Suddenly, a large group of soldiers with Erunion Telcontar at the head run past Septim, the front ones throw javellins at their enemies, most hitting their targets. When the enemies get close enough they draw their swords and attack. Septim smiles, and joins them. The battle goes well from that point on as more and more men join Erunion's force at the wall. And when the Tysonian force is exausted, they counter attack, burning the the siege weapons. King Tysin is nowhere to be found, but the battle is won. *** Septim is awarded the Medal of Virtus for courageous actions in the first battle of the revolution along with 3,000 gold coins, he is also given a promotion to Captain. Erunion is given a promotion to Major, Charley is given a promotion to Major. [[OOC: All of you can decide if you want the Medal of Virtus, if you do, you get 3000 coins, if you don't, you get nothing. The choice is yours, and it's a hard one! :-P. And Killer, you have a promotion in the Mercenaries Guild, you are now a high level veteran mercenary being payed around 2,000 gold a day.]] Captain Bertilius Septim leaves the base after the ceremony and returns home, where he cleans the blood from his weapon and armor. He then sharpens his blade and notices a large amount of damage to his shield. "That'll need to be repaired...", mutters Septim as he puts his shield away. Septim then reads until falling asleep.

| 23:20:51 Jun 1st 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange: Ernie was working at the Seronian Embassy when huge smashing noises were heard and the building shook on its foundation. Ernie was glad he brought his weapons and armor with him since he had felt that something bad would happen. He pulled out his longbow and threw away his work clothes, revealing his armor underneath. He then ran with his six bodyguards and met up with his archer division who were fighting from the wall. Suddenly the wall seemed to explode and debris and people flew through the air. Screams were coming from everywhere and dust was in his eyes keeping Ernie from seeing anything. When the dust settled more he saw a very large army of Tysonian Loyalists charging towards the hole in the wall. Action had to be taken now. "ALL ARCHERS FORM UP ON ME! NOTCH ARROWS! FIIIIIRE!!!!" About 90 arrows fired simultaneously, each hitting their mark and it seemed that the charging army was stopped completely for a few seconds since the bodies flew back into the men behind them. "NOTCH ARROWS AGAIN!....FIRE!!!!" Another volley went and each hit their mark again. A huge explosion occurred about 50 yards in front of him. Suddenly Captain Erunion Telcontar rushed past him with a large group of Seronian soldiers and they charged into the lines of Tysonian revolutionaries that were about to reach a number of Seronian soldiers. "Men fire a volley and get to the walls quickly! We may need to cover our advancing troops! The men obeyed and within 15 minutes they were covering a counterattacking force that reached the trebuchets and burned them all. Tysin was not among the casualties or captured.....he was still out there. Captain Ernie The Orange was given the Medal of Virtus for calmly making decisions in the heat of battle and protecting the lives of his men and other Seronian soldiers. He lost about 10 men in the first attack at the wall due to the trebuchet and they would be remembered as heroes of Seron for not showing fear even in the face of death. Sir Ernie was also promoted to the rank of Major in the Seronian army. A payment of 3000 gold was also given.

| 23:42:36 Jun 1st 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II: Tysin paces around the fort's office. "They defeated us, it is only a minor setback, our true army is on it's way", says Tysin. "Yes milord, I know", says the Valkondian General Yosar, who had escaped being killed in the war. "How many are coming again?", asks Tysin. "Over twenty thousand Valkondian soldiers...", says Yosar. "Good, you are dismissed", said Tysin. Yosar walks off. Fool, I will dispose of him as soon as Tysos is taken. He doesn't have what it takes to be a King. He is only a King because of his grandfather... Yosar reaches his quarters and begins writing a letter to Prince Xerfon Valkar, son of the late King Valkar. *** | ||||

By the way, been wanting to do this for a while. You can be regarded as the best diplomat if you'd like, but that doesn't make you boss. Guilds: I am going to end the revolution now.]] Septim wakes up and gets dressed. He buckles his longsword and walks down the street to hear the alarm. Septim runs back to his shack and puts on his armor. He picks up his shield and runs out the door towards the barracks. "Greetings Captain Septim", says the private at the front. "Good morning...", says Septim as he walks through. Septim walks in front of his one hundred men. "For three hundred years wars have waged across the surface of this great continent...three hundred years of war, with the longest break being ten years. Now...now we have a chance to end the war, end the fighting, and bring about a peace that has eluded this land for so long!", yells Septim, he draws his blade and holds it in the air. "Now, let us have one last battle, to everlasting peace!!!", yells Septim. The soldiers draw their blades and raise them. Septim sheaths his blade and approaches his lieutenant. "Think they liked it?", asks Septim. "I'm sure they did sir", says the lieutenant. *** Septim stands upon the walls of the city. Major Telcontar stands thirty feet down the wall barking orders to his men. The revolutionary army marching towards them. "Wow, I thought they were lying", says Septim. "Who?", asks his lieutenant. "The Colonel said that there'd be twenty thousand...", said Septim. The revolutionary army marches forward, but prior to the battle the catapults had been adjusted to shoot at a specific spot. And when the enemies reach that spot, the catapults fire and hit their marks. As the catapults break the enemy formations, the archers fire their arrows in an arc, killing many. When the enemies reach the city gates the Seronians pour hot oil on them, and when the Valkondian-Tysonian army breaks through the heavily barricaded gates. Septim and five other Captains charge into battle with six hundred men. Septim slashes and blocks with deadly skill, having nothing more than scratche*beep* him. He swings his blade around, killing two, he then blocks two attacks and stabs his sword through an enemy, he swings his blade around with the enemy on it and three blades go into the enemy. Septim pulls his blade down and smashes the enemy down with his shield before killing the three opponents. ***Two hours later*** An exausted Septim walks out amongst the dead, he sees many friendly faces amongst them. Septim sheaths his bloody blade and walks to Colonel Gevard, who had led the defense. "We found Tysin's body amongst the dead along with a Valkondian General, I recognize him as a General Yosar", said Gevard, "Must've been the reason Tysin has been such a threat recently. I see that you are exausted, as most of us are. Go home and get some sleep, but first, I am promoting you to Major, good work." Septim nods and walks home, he takes off his armor and falls into bed. [[OOC: You may still do your day, we recieve medals, but due to low funds, we only recieve 1,000 gold and 4 prominence points. Everybody also recieves an upgrade in their rank, Ernie and Erunion are Lieutenant Colonels, commanding 1,000 men each.]] Septim wakes up early, puts on his military uniform, and goes to the castle where he is given the Star of Argus. He walks home with his medal and puts it in his cupboard. Septim then walks to the land office and buys a guild hall for 10,000 gold. He has a sign made that says "The Guild of Scholars". Septim's six friends become his first guild members. Septim, as Guildmaster, recieves three prominence points. At the end of the day he is called down to the castle where he is given the title of Lord, he is given a small castle in a city called Cidel, which is thirty miles south of Tysos. Septim, very happy, goes down to the city at night, he arrives in the castle and finds it to quite comfortable. Septim goes to sit in his throne as Lord of Cidel, and a man approaches. "Welcome Lord Septim, I am Jorvel, your humble steward. I would like to let you know that one hundred guards are under your employment, the town is growing nicely, and you have a budget surplus of three thousand coins", says Jorvel. "That is fine, steward", says Septim. "You must also undergo coronation before being officially recognized as Lord", says Jorvel. "Then lets do it, wake the appropriate people up", says Septim. *** "Bertilius Septim, do you swear to do everything in your power to insure the safety of the city of Cidel?", asks the high priest of Cidel. "I do", says Septim. "Then it is with honor that I shall now bestow upon you the title, Lord of Cidel", says the priest. He places a headpiece upon Septim's head and holds out a cushion, on it a ring. Septim takes it and puts it on his left little finger. "That is your signet ring, it bears your coat of arms", says the priest. Septim rises and walks to his throne, where he sits and looks out amongst the small crowd. *** Lord Septim eats in the dining hall and walks up to his chambers to find his armor already on a stand at the far end of the room with his family blade cleaned and sharpened next to the suit. Septim walks over to his bed where he goes to sleep.

| 19:15:34 Jun 4th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange: The land was covered in dust after the battle. Major Ernie and his men had fought hard and long against the enemy army and lost many. They seemed to have the advantage until the enemy army closed the distance and the archers were fighting for their lives until a reinforcing infantry force arrived and pushed them back. Ernie had walked away from the battle exhausted and on the edge of collapse. His bow had been cloven in two and his armor had been damaged. He had fought off a Valkondian swordsmen who had rushed at him and he tried to defend with his bow in order to buy himself some time. His bow was sliced in two just as he pulled out his sword and impaled the soldier. Ernie was given 1000 gold, the Star of Argus, and promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in charge of 1000 men. But the day was not over. Ernie went back to the embassy and worked a day there before taking his savings and having a guild purchased. The sign above it read "Guild of Master Orators" and he was the guildmaster. He was informed that he could become a lord now but Ernie was too tired to do that this day. He went to the market and bought some fruit and veggies before going to bed.

Septim then walks out and inspects his one hundred city guards with Captain Vellus Numeror leading them, Septim finds them acceptable before asking how they are trained. Numeror says they are trained in the use of blades, but not ranged weapons. Septim sends a message to Duke Velar Uskon about a new shipment of longbows and arrows. Septim then has his crest (which is also the crest of Cidel) painted on the shields, a golden circle with a white dragon painted in the center. Septim continues doing his duties and recieves his budget surplus, which he puts in his vault. Septim then goes into his office, where he signs a few papers and sends a few letters to his second in command in Tysos, who is leading the Guild of Scholars in his absense. Septim then walks down to the swimming pool in the lower level of his castle, where he swims for an hour. Septim then eats a dinner of chicken and bread. He goes on a walk through the city, meetings a few of his citizens, before retiring to his quarters. He then goes to up to his quarters and reads a chapter of his book before going to sleep.

"Commander Ulfrot, how long until we reach the continent of Ersos?", asks General Hegar the Elfbane, who had earned his rank and title after leading a slaughter of Elves back in the continent of Hergon. "Two days, at most I'd say", says Ulfrot. "Good, we will slaughter without mercy...Ersos will be ours", says Hegar. "What about the ancient law?" asks Ulfrot. "The law states that as long as more than one kingdom controls Ersos, they will be safe from us. We have heard that recently, a kingdom called Seron took control, they are no longer safe", says Hegar. "Excellent", says Ulfrot. "Our chief will be pleased", says Hegar in agreement.

He walked up to his castle which was on a cliff overlooking the sea. The city was built around the base of the cliff and walls were between the city and the castle. Ernie's 1000 men also became stationed there unless needed. Also Ernie's six loyal companions became captains of his archer division and were in charge of the castle's defense. Ernie then had his armor repaired. Once that was done he walked up to his throne room and placed his crown upon his head. There was a great feast in the city that celebrated their lord and everything seemed to be running smoothly.

"Under the orders of General Aerson these men are to be stationed in Tysos, not here", says Uver, "Only one hundred are needed to guard a city, one thousand is overkill..." Uver takes nine hundred men, leaving one hundred to be the town guards. *** The massive orc army lands on the northern coast of Ersos, the northern part of the province of Valkond soon belongs to them as they slaughter all in their path without mercy. Their arrows coated with a strange poison that eats at the skin, but not the arrow. Duke Hasillius leads the defense of the city of Hasillos, but it his hopeless. He flees with the survivors to Seron's capital, where he delivers the news to his King. The King calls his army together, they will soon do a counter-attack. *** Lord Septim wakes from sleep to the sounds of alarm bells, he puts on his armor, buckles his family sword, picks up his shield, and looks out the window to see the land outside Cidel illuminated by thousands of torches. Lord Septim runs into the city to find Captain Numeror coordinating the defense. "Captain! What news?", asks Septim. "Strange beasts are approaching the city, we decided to call them orcs, as they look like an orcor", says Numeror. [[OOC: Orcor are beasts similar to hogs.]] "Get the men on the walls, send a messenger to Fort Hegwash, they have over five thousand there", says Septim. "Yes sir!", yells Numeror. Septim walks up to the walls to see the force against him. "I've fought worse...", says Septim. *** General Hegar leads his men to Cidel with a smile on his face that would send a chill down the bravest man's spine. Hegar has a battle-axe on his back and a scimitar buckled at his side. *** A projectile zooms into the walls of Cidel, crushing them. Septim maintains balance as he orders the archers to fire. *** "ATTACK!!!", yells Hegar as he draws his battle-axe. He runs at the city, where the projectile had crushed the walls. *** Septim runs down to the streets below to find orcs rushing through the wall. His guards come up behind him and they go into shield wall formation, but the massive orcs break the formation. Septim finds himself locked in combat with an eight foot tall orc with a battle-axe. Septim lifts his kiteshield up, but the battle-axe leaves a rather large dent, Septim decides that it is best to dodge as he rolls to dodge a blow from the axe, the axe enters the ground, and the orc draws a scimitar at his side. Septim begins a swordfight with the orc, Septim finds the orc to be a bit of a challenge, but he is no match for Septim. Septim soon disarms him and leaves a large gash in the orc's arm. The orcs turn to retreat, but find a legion of men approaching from their rear, destroying them. "They arrived just in time", mutters Septim. The large orc runs through the legion as a bull would through a mob of deer. The orc flees for his life. "I am going back to bed...", mutters Septim, he walks up to his room and leaves his armor downstairs, it being stained in black orc blood and the shield being dented in from the battle-axe. Septim falls into bed. [[OOC: This didn't count as a day, just a thing to progress the orc invasion, you also recieve one prominence point if you fight in the battle.

Commander Ulfrot of the orc navy approaches the port city of Tasidian, where they begin launching projectiles with their catapults. After enough holes are in the walls, a large landing occurs and a thousand orcs pour into the city, the city guard stands ready, Major Uver returns with the thousand men, as he saw the smoke while leaving. *** A large force led by Colonel Jestrot approaches Naegothrendar, armed with scimitars, spike shields, and strange bows. [[OOC: Erunion, Ernie, just say how you beat them...not sure if Erunion's in Naegothrendar right now, and Erunion, it takes a while to learn how to spell Naegothrendar without having to look at your previous posts, but I've finally figured it out. Just break it into parts, Nae-Goth-Rendar, and it is suddenly easy! :-D]] | ||||

| 04:59:02 Jun 6th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange: [omfg Killer ><] Ernie orders the catapults and ballista on the cliff side of the castle to bombard the Orc vessels and to keep them from dropping anymore ships off. The projectiles from the defensive buildings sinks several ships and damages two others. The Orc forces are rushing through the streets when they reach the castle walls. All the people had been brought within the safety of the castle. The city guard also retreated inside the walls due to the superior builds of the Orcs and they were not trained to fight warriors who were much taller, stronger, and more able to withstand injury and keep fighting. The one thousand archers that Major Uver returned had manned the walls only minutes before and then fired a volley at the charging Orcs. Hundreds of them fell in the first wave and hundreds more fell in the second, third and fourth volleys. Seeing that without strong archers to counter the defenders or larger shields to cover their heads, they were fighting a losing battle. The remaining orcs retreated from the city and were destroyed by a Seronian force that was heading to Tasidian's aid. The reinforcements arrived, aided the wounded and the reconstruction of the outer walls, and then departed to defend other areas of Seron. | ||||
| 05:08:46 Jun 6th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II: Major Uver and his one thousand archers go with the force, leaving one hundred men to guard again. "Forts are being constructed outside of all major cities, soon reinforcements will be only ten minutes away", says Uver before leaving with the men. ** Commander Ulfrot retreates in his ships to the main fleet commanded by Admiral Unferce Ur-Vonak. Ulfrot is punished severely for the defeat, and Hegar is as well. *** Duke Hasillius and a large Seronian army retakes part of his lands, but the land forty miles north of Valkond's capital has a twenty foot thick, thirty foot high wall from one end of the peninsula, Seron begins construction of a navy, but until it is finished there will be no way to wipe the orc invasion out completely. | ||||

"Sorry guv'nor, you don't have enou' there!", says the shipwright before pulling off with the sloop of war, he pilots it down back to the shipwright. [[OOC: When you have enough, you can buy it.]]
