OOC: Talk - Smoke on the Horizon...

Actually Rivatha is waiting for replay in "Windholm at War" thread

go go meeting go. Kill Seleucia first though...

I'm taking on a more active GM role, so my playing of Seleucia will be even lighter. She'll still be present and you can interact with her, but I'll try to be a little less proactive with her this time around. I'll also take over more fully the GMing of Mesor and Psychozoa's scenes.

And of course I'll keep playing Wulfy. He's the closest thing to Izzy's sekret Griffon lover, Sir Jaime the Lion.

Does this mean I get to see how many traitorous pitchfork wielding wimps my men are about to mow down with arrows sooner?

This is definitely not the best of days for Clarion Call...

It could have been worse. ...I don't know how. Just give me a minute to figure out some scenario in which things could have been worse.

...Crap, I just realized I may be arguing with myself a lot this scene the way I've set it up.

Apologies to all for my recent inactivity. Unfortunately the meeting is starting just before finals So don't expect to see much for a while I suppose.

.... Tell me about it... Haha but in one sense I'm happy, makes my job interesting. I wonder if the Clarion Call will split between the different takes on the Clarion Call's primary mission that our two characters have. We shall see.

How are troop loses handled after eents anyways?

Any troops that die, desert, or are otherwise not in play are gone and should be removed from character sheets. New troops can/should be purchased with the renown that will be handed out after the event.

In normal battles, we'll try to use the system Jing Ming created.

Sorry about that. I tend to hit varying levels of posting speed on here.

Haven't seen Mesor around for a while.. In case that he's gone inactive, how will that affect the progression of this event?

Well, once news of his attack reaches the meeting, Valdor will obviously have you all killed by the hundreds of ambush troops hidden around the church grounds. After all your corpses are festering, Barbarossa will declare himself emperor of Pendor and seize control of the rest of the country through a series of pre-planned rebellions in the major cities. Once Pendor is subdued, Mettenheim and Veccavia declared principalities, and the prince defects and is declared governor of Amala, Valdor will then lead a massive invasion of Barclay, resulting in a century of warfare unseen in the history of the world.

...

...

...

...What?

Well, it is the bloodshed and all that worries me a little. Plus, those nobles need to join the upcoming battle at one point.

I say briog them on. If the radiants can withstand a horde of anaconda knights and cobra warriors a bunch of nobles who haven't likely seen decently scaled battle wont fare as well as they did against a bunch of horse archers eho were denied their mobility.

But what if they hold Mesor hostage? I'm inclined to retreat all the Dragons from that fight.

Well I already quit the game so it doesn't matter much.

perhaps you did, but the character is still around.

This isn't a single player game, all your actions will reflect on the other PC's too, and they have yet to deal with any fallout caused.

The k ight captain is dead! Long live knight captain Natir!

O nice fallout just in time for me to join, maybe I won't have to wait long to test my bow.

If my character is ok and I can join before it's over anyway.

Just so everyone knows; The Dragons have been fighting for Ravenstern in every way possible, this involves getting red of bloodthirsty maniacs that roam the snow. For the course of this event, Windholm is a part of Ravenstern as far as Aelos is concerned.

This means that a murderer will be punished with Icebreath.

Edit:
If you want to do something about it, now is the time to strike poor Aelos.

Oh well I'll have to survive by myself now. Now I'm all by myself and only wear light armor this will be interesting I guess.
And I'm not a Knight Captain yet, there is still members of my order back at base, but I might earn the title after I finish up in Windholm.

I'd say you just got promoted to lead the entire Clarion Call detachment.

That raises the question, Mesor's troops, will they be under Natir's command during the event and then just disappear afterwards?

I'd say that any possible survivors should join Natir.
