Battle for Thornwood
- Turn 6 Resolution -

[attr="class","sara"]

Your troops go in further in order to take out the remaining rats. While they aren't able to take out all of them, the time if nigh to use the C.S.R. You wheel it in and begin charging it.

In the meantime; your crossbowmen and mages begin shooting at Pengtinka. She does not retaliate to this, though, merely watching the C.S.R. with interest.

Hey! Aren't you going to destroy that thing!?

It's too far away.

Then move closer! I hired you to protect me!!

You hired us to take out a valued target...

YEAH!! SO WHY DON'T YOU-

The C.S.R. finishes its charge. When Gregor activates the machine a thin beam of red energy shoots forward out of the doodad on the front. While Gregor tried to aim it at Cockscomb, it should have missed horribly - instead the beam seemingly curves and hits Cockscomb right in the center of his breast.

...?

Then suddenly a demonic sigil appears beneath Cockscomb which erupts in a cyclone of fire. Pengtinka just barely jumps back to avoid it, watching patiently as the inferno burns for what seems like an extraneous amount of time. Soon a little over thirty balls of light are launched out of the basket-like thingamajig and enter the tornado. For the next minute or so the whole area smells like a combination of cinnamon and salt. Finally, the C.S.R. makes a quick "ding" sound and the inferno suddenly dissipates; All that is left is a bundle of... what looks like... lightly toasted giant chicken parts? Whatever it is, it smells exotically delicious.

...

Eventually you look for Pengtinka, who appears to be running off to a boat... Wait! They had another boat!? Pengtrushka and Penglet appear to have loaded it with large sacks of something and appear to be ready to head out.

The Battle of Pollnivneach - (1/7)

Men, we march. Riders, you head down the path with the Harlequins towards Ali Morrisane. The rest of us, men, shall proceed with the Pollnivneans towards the Bazaar building towards Jamir Morrisane's force. Each group shall take a battering ram, just in case. While the liberation of Pollnivneach is of the utmost priority, a secondary objective is to take Jamir Morrisane alive. We must know how to make Ugthanki Swordsmen and Archers.

May Icthlarin forgive us for our sins in battle, and may he shepherd the fallen who are worthy to paradise.

Heh, why not both, indeed?

Your troops split, with the bulk heading to the bazaar.

Your riders follow the Harlequins through the town. Eventually a group of them make a sudden sharp turn and run right into the houses. As your riders continue forward, the harlequins ahead tell them to stand back. Up ahead you watch as hundreds of camel riders begin flooding into the bazaar. As the last of them head in, the Harlequins say the coast is clear.

Ah! So I see. No, outlanders. This land is unclaimed by any known force besides Gielinor itself. My tribesmen and I are looking for good friend of ours who has gotten lost in these woods. We have worried many moons for her return, for she is a wanderer, but at last we think it is time to actually search for her.

Pray tell, outlander, have you seen or heard a songstress in your journey through these woods?

Suddenly your troops hear a loud crashing sound from the nearby trees.

Er... Never mind. It seems we found her.

A beautiful young lady holding an ornate metal harp runs out of the woods. Various wolves dash out of the woods, high-tailing out of the area.

Get away from me, you creeps! Help! HELP!!

She tuns around and plays a quick tune on her harp, causing a magical ball to form in front of her that she shoots into the trees.

And now, they are found. And now, they shall perish.

Spearmen, push forward to T17 and U18. I want to occupy that bottleneck. You'll be attacking the Ugthanki Mages at R17 and the Ugthanki Archers at U19, respectively. Mages, you'll be moving up to U16, and blasting away that the enemy mages at S17. Meanwhile, I and the bombardiers will move forward to U17, and we'll bomb down the enemies at S18. Archers will proceed to V16, and will shoot out the Mages at T18. Finally, Riders move east until they find something to report, while Cannons move to U14 and bombard T19, and the Battering ram at Q12 moves to L15.

All out battle begins in the town square! There are weapons and ammunition flying everywhere as the two armies scrap. Jamir rides around the corner to battle it out with Alice, who appears to have the upper hand. In the commotion, your Bombardiers gain the ability to move up a tier.

Your riders move around, still trying to remain low key so to not be discovered. The harlequins who had joined them thus far are now running to the large walled area in the West.

Finally, the harlequins who were running through the buildings have found their way to the roofs overlooking the bazaar. From here they begin doing an exotic dance.

The Battle of Pollnivneach - (4/7)

The battle goes well. Let's not squander our momentum.

Firstly, I do not appreciate slacking. Bombardiers, you and I will pull out of the scrap, we've lost enough in our ranks today. Let us instead help Alice beat down Jamir, until he submits and can be taken prisoner. Meanwhile, the hole in the formation should allow for some tough guys, who I see to have been not so tough and, might I say, outright pathetic, and getting uninvolved in the melee. Enough watching your commander fight another, now actually do some fighting.

All other troops, continue your warfare... Except for the riders. Riders, proceed to E19. Ali Morrisane is a coward, and our gods and our ancestors do not appreciate cowardice.

May our gods give us the strength to accomplish this battle, in their names and the names of those many who have fallen. Let us and them be blessed, honored, and celebrated.

The troops remain in formation but will not fight unless attacked.

Fremenniks, we have met these people before, in the lands south of here. We had marched there with a great force to seek to help them eliminate a fearsome monster that was occupying their temple. We were able to manage that, but with its last strength, the creature brought down the roof of the cavern in which the temple was, killing many of the Guardians including their leader as well as a good many of our own troops. They, of course, being above ground, could not see this, but instead blamed us and a group of strangers who emerged from nearby portals just in time to save the bulk of our force from the cave-in. They were about to attack us both in vengeance even though we were both innocent and outnumbered them four to one, but the colonel of our force there was able to persuade them not to. I guess in their panic they fled north here.

Now, Guardians, you have also heard the story as it actually was. What happened in McGrubor's Wood was a tragedy caused by the Guelga and nothing else. All we sought to do was help you, but we failed miserably in this. We do not wish for conflict with you and, if you wish, you can return to the Wood and we will return the region to you. If you do not want to return, we will let you live here in peace if you wish, but you must refrain from harming both us and these Fremenniks. If you wish, however, the Third Kingdom of Camelot always welcomes those who wish to join it, especially fellow Armadyleans.

The Harlequins and the riders enter the courtyard... It's empty. Where in the world is Ali?

In the Bazaar your troops fight on! It appears to be a clear win for your army thus far. The scuffle between Jamir and Alice also seems to be drawing to a close - especially with the added attacks from the bombardiers.

I'll never let you near our father, as long as I draw breath!

Then you're an idiot; we're clearly winning.

Who even are these people!?

That's not important, Jamir. Pollnivneach is ours - just hand it over and be done with it.

This goes on for a bit. As the battle rages on, eventually some bombardier manages to throw an attack with such precision that Jamir ends up falling off of his horse. The moment to capture him was now!

But before you could, the Harlequins dancing on the rooftops jump down and dash over to the weakened Jamir. Despite the urgency, some of them slow down as they go past the bombardiers, flirting and cheek-kissing them while on the move. When they walk up to the knight, they promptly bind him whilst searching for any effects. One harlequin finds an odd looking book and tosses it over to the Bombardier-General. She then giggles a bit and says "What a wonderful Wintumber for you! Three gifts on one day!"

Well, what now? We can claim the Bazaar, but Ali is still out there somewhere.

The rats in the area seem to have calmed down without the presence of Cockscomb looming over them, so your troops leave them alone. As they approach the tower the doors open once more and Cornflake struts out.

Well, Guardians, what do you say to that offer? You can become Logrean citizens and live here in peace, under our laws but also under our protection. In addition, you can, if you wish, send whatever messages you wish to the Guadrians remaining in Hemenster to ask them to join you, if you and they would prefer that. We will restrict the amount of our populace which can live here to whatever number you wish, even none, and will only station as many troops here as you wish, unless the region is in imminent danger.

Fremenniks, we are very glad to have met you and for your offer of aid are these Guardians to prove troublesome. But what about some interaction in a more peaceful setting? Our Pendragon would be glad to extend his hospitality to you were you to come to Wolfchester, which is hardly a month away by sea. If, however, your duties are too great in these dark times, we would be glad to open contact with you by sending an emissary with you to your capital, if you would like that.

Hm. Well said. We thank you, Kaledam, and we hope that you'll prove a better leader then my father ever was.

With a smile she turns to direct her men.

But damn that was just too easy...

Well, since it doesn't look like there's any more competition... Congratulations! Pollnivneach is yours! This is a pretty good Wintumber for EGTC in terms of gifts, so let's break it down:
Resources: 1,500 Wood, 1,000 Stone, 500 Metal, 8,000 Gold. Yield: +100 Cloth
Troops: Remaining Ugthanki warriors. You will learn the recruitment method in a few months time.
Paragons: Jamir Morrisane - Knight Champion. (Alice has stepped down as a warrior)
The Book: The Harlequins never explained to you what was so great about it. Whatever it is, it's pretty fancy.

The Harlequins appear to be waiting on a boat that will take them back to Pastelle next month.

The Battle for the Reclamation - 1/7

Do you smell that stench, men? That's goblin armpit and goblin butt. We can't let these green vermin stink up our land, now can we?
CAN WE!?

Archers, move to J9 and take up position on the edge of the cliff. I will take up position at B8.
I want spearmen at C9, riders at B10, Vipers at D9 and swordsmen at D8.
Mages, take up position at H9 next to the archers.

And now the fun part: archers, stick that goblin butt full of arrows! They won't know what's coming to them, because WE CANNOT BE SMELLED FROM 10 MILES AWAY!

Your archers snipe down almost half of the weird goblins. When they drop, the remaining begin jumping from foot to foot yelling "Key-lek" or something similar in a supposedly intimidating fashion. It didn't work. The noise they're making seems to have attracted some other goblins around the corner, who are also chanting and dancing.

Heh heh, very good. Send them running!
I want Vipers and swordsmen to E13 and E12, respectively. Riders, move into charging position at C11. I'll take up command position at C12.
Archers, mages and spearmen will stay put.

Now here's the strategy, men: if the goblins approach, Vipers will throw their cocktails and retreat backwards, like they've been trained for. Archers and mages will stick 'em if they're close enough. The rest of you stay on guard for now. Let's see what they do.

Marwyn watches as the plan unfolds flawlessly. The goblins shuffle forward, spears in tow, and your green vipers throw the poisoned bombs. Unfortunately, the goblins seemingly don't react as they continue to shuffle through the poisoned smog. Of course, this doesn't mean they aren't taken out by the combined efforts of the swordsmen and toxin.

But the goblin spearmen and archers get some kills in - they kill a surprising amount of your troops, far more then what their numbers would suggest. Again, that is until your own troops take them out.

Battle for Thornwood
Round ?!?: Gallus Gallus Amicus

Cornflake, I don't know if I appeared to be hateful towards all chickens, but if so, that was not my intent. My hate is now condensed into this deliciously-seasoned drumstick-and-breast combo I hold in my hands. I just wanted Cockscomb to die, and dead he is.

Now, I cannot deny your contribution, nor can I guarantee that we would've won without your invention. Serve Brantia as our Client State. You can keep the land and all that it offers, but you'll serve us with a tribute and, if necessary, troops. If you refuse, then I'm afraid we'll have to force you out, as the glory of Brantia must come before all things if this world is to be saved. I hope you'll make the right choice.

Those fuckers actually got some of our men. I want them to know what the price of killing elves is. I BET THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT WITH THEIR PRIMITIVE MUD-HUT STICKS-'N-STONES ECONOMY AND MONEY MADE OF BIRD SHIT!

Vipers, move to F13. Swordsmen, stay put. Mages to G9 and archers to H9.
Once everybody is in position, I want my riders to speed to H11, utter some obscenities at the goblins or otherwise draw their ire, and then rush back to E11. The plan is to draw those numbskulls closer to us. Swordsmen and vipers will then strike at them, pushing them closer to the ridge so our mages and archers can pick them off.

Oh, what now? MORE OF THESE THINGS!?

Sigh... okay, listen up men. There's quite a lot of goblins heading our way, so let's use the terrain to our advantage.
I want Vipers to D10, swordsmen to C10, spearmen to B10, riders to A12, mages to F9 and archers to G9. I will myself head to B9.

With most of us around the corner, we'll just wait until the goblins come our way. Once they're close enough, archers and mages will pelt them, giving the signal for swordsmen and spearmen to come around the corner and strike.
Riders, stay where you are, but if you see the goblins drift too far south, circle around to the south and intercept them to drive them back north.

Let's play some goblin peek-a-boo!

And the fight continues! The gnomes mentioned earlier rush in from the North and take position to fight.
