Philip had been in the ranks of the lower officers for over a year unnoticed til now. He was ordered by his superiors to fit in with the regulars to study troop morale! Now his cover had been blown with the spear tricks. Philip was considered one of the best spears in the hole Empire several could recognize him through his technique! So boys which battle was the worst to fight out of all of them? I think the dark elves jsut because they are so dam evil and the fact that if we lost the cities population would now be dead or worse slaves to the DE's!!! Raises his chalice and take a large drink!

OOC: we are eating this feast waiting for players lad lol i will make a new thread the next time we march!

OOC: Where is the activity?

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #27 on:** September 04, 2004, 02:41:29 PM »

OOC: I was computerless for a while, and will be so more in the close future. I've moved to a new city in order to study there, and it takes some time until I can get a broadband to my new home.

Konrad noticed that Philip had started a conversation, and leans over to join.

Konrad: Yes, one would certainly have thought us to be doomed when the main gate fell so early. It was hardly a siege for my part. For the most part my pistoliers were skirmishing around the courtyard, evading certain death.

WARRIOR2006 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 05, 2004, 03:11:31 AM »

Emerald_Hunter · « **Reply #30 on:** September 05, 2004, 11:52:07 AM »

OOC: Sweet, I will post a character sheet later today.

WARRIOR2006 · « **Reply #31 on:** September 05, 2004, 05:04:42 PM »

OOC: Alright everyone after he post his character and unit info we will draw this dinner to close but not til then!

Emerald_Hunter · « **Reply #32 on:** September 05, 2004, 06:05:50 PM »

OOC: ok here goes... i am presuming it is OK to use forces of Ulric...

Name: Bortz Hackbeiler
Age: 24
Size and Build: 6'3'' and very muscular
Clothes: Bortz wears black furs and armour as his clothes. He never removes them except to bathe.
Weaponary: Bortz carries a large battle axe, inscripted with dwarvish runes which glow green when no foes are near. He carries a crossbow and quiver on his back but only very rarely uses it.
Armour: He wears plate armour on his upper torso and a full face helmet. on his lower body, he wears only leather thigh pads. On the front of his weather beaten boots he has pieces of steel tied by rope.
Mount: Bortz rides a large black stallion, one of the only horses that can bear his size and weight.
Brief Background: Bortz was born in the mountains, his father was killed in action, fighting for the Empire against an Orcish invasion. Shortly after, his mother wandered off into the forest and never returned. Bortz was the oldest of 4 brothers and he took it upon himself to become a father figure. Two of his 3 brothers died during childhood, the third became very close to Bortz and now fights alongside his brother. When Bortz was 16 he recruited himself and his brother to a group of mercenary bandits. He rose in rank very quickly with this group and it was here he and his brother learnt to fight as well as they do. He impressed the leader of the mercenary's after a failed assasination attempt on Bortz. Bortz caught and killed the would-be assasin armed just with a knife. Bortz became a favourite of the leader, and when he died in a battle with the authorities, the bandits turned to Bortz for leadership. Bortz then preceeded to arm them all properly and give them all a basic education. He then clothed them in furs from an 'abandoned' wagon they 'came across'. Now the selection process for the troop is finished by sending the recruits to skin a black bear and bring back its skin.
Troop: Bortz leads a group of around 15 mounted fighters, including his brother Brant. They are all dressed in black furs and armour and are all armed with at least one axe and a knife. Most of them have other additional weapons because they were a band of mercenaries.

OOC: Is that OK....i dont rele want a special weapon unless the axe could be magic, but i dont have a dwarf army book with me...

WARRIOR2006 · « **Reply #33 on:** September 06, 2004, 09:43:25 PM »

OOC: lol you over did it a bit fully describing your character and armor lol! but thats ok! hmm their is one loop hole i saw with you teaching your boys an education where did you get one yourself living in the woods lol. but a good descripition your in i assume you are your own knightly order thats beliefs are of Ulric! Welcome to the ranks!

Philip was taking a drink of the wine when the doors burst open a battered soldier running in a look of complete horror upon his face. He looked around and spotted phihlip and began to run over towards him, of course men intercepted him holding him back, but Philip ordered them to let him through. "Sir Philip?" "Yes!" Someone told me to give you this! The soldier held out a letter with a little blood on it. Philip recognized the ensigna on the letter it was from someone in his family.

Philip grabbed the letter and excused himself form the table and walked off to a side room. The soldier followed his hand still holding a bloodied rag on his arm. Philip read the letter his face turning white, a tear rimming his eye! He walked back into the room i need all my unit leaders to meet in the barracks in 2 hours! Philip walked out with the soldier following him!

Interrupted from his conversation with Konrad by the sudden appearance of the messenger, Lethair sighed

"Just when you'd think we had some time to relax..."

WARRIOR2006 · « **Reply #35 on:** September 08, 2004, 01:25:28 AM »

Another soldier comes in requesting all unit leaders to report to the main commanders barracks asap! Everyone looked around beginning to worry. Charles who was unable to walk very well as of yet began to stand but was ushered down by those around him he sat back down a frown on his face! It was true he would never be able to fight with again if so it would be clumbersome and unpredictable...

ALl soldiers are excused report to the barracks!

Emerald_Hunter · « **Reply #36 on:** September 08, 2004, 09:47:06 AM »

OOC: I had that as a Word file, I used to use it to RP on other sites. MMMMM the education was off a wizard he met in the forest, but like I said, it was a brief description.

IC: After seeing the two soldiers enter and depart with Philip, Bortz stood up from his seat, the wood creaking with relief as the weight was lifted off it. He waited for another of the leaders to depart so he could follow them as he had no idea where the barracks was. He suposed his troop were camping outside the walls somewhere. He made a mental note to himself to find them after this meeting with Philip.

Rathis Darkwielder · « **Reply #37 on:** September 08, 2004, 02:53:26 PM »

With a resigned look at his yet half-full plate, Lethair rose from his chair after excusing himself from the other nobles around him. Then he strode off towards the barracks...

***********************************************************

Hagald had been invited to the dinner, but he had chosen to stay with his hunters. He had never been very confortable around the high-born of this city and would rather spend some time on repairing his damaged gear.

Hagald had heard the page coming before he had even reached the door and had reached the door before the page could even knock. The boy looked startled when the door opened before him when he was just about to knock. Before him, the gaint figure of Hagald blocked the way in.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be serving the nobles on their little celebration of our return?"

"Sir, you are to report at the barracks at once, Grandmaster Philip ordered it so. All unit commanders are excused from their duties and are requested to come to the barracks as soon as possible. Sir Philip will inform you of the situation when all commanders have gathered there.

Hagald gave the page an angry look

"Thank you for informing me, tell 'sir' Philip that I'll be there in five minutes"

With these words, he slammed the door shut in the boy's face. His hunters looked at him with an questioning look in their eyes.

"It seems like we've got another assignment, lads

Albrecht von Hinkel · « **Reply #38 on:** September 08, 2004, 03:33:23 PM »

Albrecht was just about to fill his plate with more food, when he heard the messenger calling all unit leaders to the barracks. Sighing, he raised from his seat and gave a slight nod to the nobles sitting around him. He followed the others as it looked like they knew the way.

Scarface Khar-queza · « **Reply #39 on:** September 09, 2004, 11:02:24 AM »

Khar-queza didn't first realise what was happening. Every commander rose and left their food plates. Human, what is going on?
- All the commanders are to report to the barracks. Khar-queza, who was still hungry, took a peace of meat and walked with the others.

Ceridan the Green One · « **Reply #40 on:** September 09, 2004, 11:16:24 AM »

Ceridan rose and walked with his Brother, both were filled and began to think about the war they were walking in to.This will be nothing you have ever encountered before, Kaliath. Just don't let the chaos magic corrupt you. I know it can be tempeting, the chaos magic is powerful.
- I won't let you down, brother.

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #41 on:** September 09, 2004, 12:41:19 PM »

Konrad heard Philips's call, turning to Theodora.

Konrad: My dear, apparently an unfortunate turn of events forces me to leave your company and perhaps march to war. It certainly seems severe. My page is stationed here, he will escort you back to Talabheim should it be necessary.

Theodora: Please be careful...

Konrad: I will...

Upon hearing this the soldiers snicker. Konrad hadn't exactly shown his self-preservation instincts during the last battles they'd been in. An icy glance from Konrad silences most of them, though they can barely hold their laughter.

Konrad and Theodora kiss each other goodbye, and she leaves the great hall looking anxiously after Konrad.

Konrad: Soldiers, I will have to depart to a commanders' meeting, but you still have time to celebrate. Eat and drink of what this table has to offer us, for I have a distinct feeling we will march to war soon and will have to do with standard rations. If anyone likes a drinking binge, now is the time, for if anyone is caught drinking on duty I will personally execute him as is written by Imperial Martial Law.

Konrad turns to walk away. Trooper Sigurd takes Konrad's words as a sign of approval and breaks up an ale cask, filling his tankard. Konrad turns back.

Konrad: Second thought, if the matter is severe enough, we might have to break camp and march already tomorrow. No hangovers on duty either.

Konrad grabs the ale cask and passes it on to a passing castle page, much to the visible dislike of Sigurd and amusement of the other greatswords. Konrad leaves the hall.

Moments later the men all walk into the barracks at once to see Philip standing their waiting. The note on the table. "Men come in take a seat!"

OOC: Be back later!

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #43 on:** September 13, 2004, 08:24:19 AM »

Konrad salutes and takes a seat.

Rathis Darkwielder · « **Reply #44 on:** September 13, 2004, 07:03:14 PM »

After nodding to all the present commanders, Lethair sits down as well. Some moments later, Hagald enters, mumbles something about the absence of most people and sits down next to Lethair.

Albrecht von Hinkel · « **Reply #45 on:** September 13, 2004, 07:20:24 PM »

Albrecht arrives shortly after Lethair, finding a seat and sits down.

Rathis Darkwielder · « **Reply #46 on:** September 13, 2004, 08:44:23 PM »

OOC: My character here is Lethair (also a shadow wizard). Sorry for the inconvenience

Albrecht von Hinkel · « **Reply #47 on:** September 13, 2004, 08:51:46 PM »

OOC: Thank you!

WARRIOR2006 · « **Reply #48 on:** September 14, 2004, 04:43:36 AM »

Now that I see most of you arrived I myswell tell you the run of news. Due to us fighting the lizards and the elves we missed the call of Karl Franz calling the conclave of light to order. Matter of fact the only reason we are not under siege right now is do to my brother and the Grand Theogonist Volkmar lead an army north to fight the evil Dark Lord of Chaos. They have both fallen the messenger states that he was the only survivor as he rode away he saw Grand Theogonist Volkmar being slain along with my brother and the remaining 25 loyal soldiers. Philip turned away for a second pitchering the hole scene! We are going to march North and try to stop the army as it enters the Empire I wanna save as much of the Empire as I can. We march tommarrow! The Chaos are fighting the Orcs right now but the battle shouldnt be a long one. I cant believe the Orcs actually helped us this one time!

So have your troops be ready we ride out tommarow. Also I have had a large unit of knights of Ulric ask to join us!

OOC: who would like to lead the knights of Ulric?

WARRIOR2006 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 17, 2004, 03:26:46 AM »

OOC: anyone out there?? I am wating for replys before i make us march!
