@Dead CruiserI'm going actually have to ask you to just pick a few spells (at least a few named spells) that Dante will be commenly using. I realized that most likely no one will be remembering all of those spells

Sorry >//<

Peridition, Angelic Ascension and Iron Halo are his go-tos. The rest I can describe as need be, or point back here for reference. That work?


I'd just say put those three under as his "main spells" and give full descriptions with the minor spells being placed under a hider.
That way those spells will still be able to be used but also won't confuse people who are just looking for his major spells.

Sorry to poke all of you again but IC is up!

Apologies if I missed your character, I was looking at the Chars tab for characters. If I didn't mention you, just assume you're one of the people who Saiyako has ordered around. Basically you have some freedom on who you want to follow/what you want to do.
A gentle reminder that most of you barely know each other or your glorious overlord commanding officer, most just rumors and first impressions.

As of right now there are no fantasy characters introduced but hopefully they'll be able to come in soon depending on how fast people post and get the starting battle over.

If its too hard to read just tell me and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out for future posts. Also, if you are confused about anything, please do let me know for me to explain a bit better hopefully.

For that to make sense, maybe Dante has been convinced that it has been a portal to the gods or perhaps that it was made to seal a ancient secret and for some reason he raised a lesser army to face the daemons, after all Dante is the strongest famous living person of the empire, (one of godlike nature), it is natural to underestimate a unknown force no? Even with his wisdom.

It is idiotic because it is our first or atleast still early encounter with an unknown force? :)

I really don't think anyone cares that much about specific spells, much less categorizing them by use.

Also, I have some questions. First, why in God's name did anyone think it would be a good idea to attack the invaders? Secondly, how could an Imperial Military under the command of the intelligent and level-headed Dante be responsible for such a blatantly idiotic assault? Third, does everyone with a fantasy character genuinely just have to wait around until this "battle" ends (who knows how long that will take) before we can post?

I'm more than a little incredulous.


That's the world of Deaus for you, its in whats basically the medieval era. Honor, prestige and glory still play a huge part of war. Lords would drool at the amount of glory to be at "beating back the invaders" in the name of the king or the Gods or whatever. Plus this was before there was anything close to modern tactical and strategic planning and order of command wasn't quite as strictly followed as it was literally a bunch of squabbling nobles occasionally pointed at a common goal. There was enough lords and generals who wanted a direct fight so they basically threw away Dante's orders and went on the offensive themselves; you can't really do much when about 90% of your subordinates are rebelling against your orders but watch and facepalm in stupidity.

As for how long the battle will last and until the fantasy character can be introduced, I am not sure, depends on how fast the scifi people post. But I'm thinking of way to engage the fantasy characters through way of Eko the Incarnate/NPCs so they will get some action at least.

Here's something that would actually make sense. A local force, possibly a militia, positioned near the invaders' outpost attacks out of fear and impulse (far more realistic motivations than "honor and glory). Nothing really can be done, as the Imperial Legions aren't responsible for the local lord's private forces.

Alternatively, this is the cover story for a probing attack, perhaps by an auxiliary legion. Dante wishes to gauge the invaders' strength, and will blame a vassal lord to wash his hands of the matter when negotiations arise.


How about we combine the two ideas?

Dante took advantage of the fear in a local militia and maybe the troops of a few power hungry vassals who he thought were plotting against him (not too surprising given the age and his position) and used them as a probing force. He can then simply blame one of the lords who died in the attack for the entire plan saying that said lord had "gathered a following and committed insubordination in the hopes of gaining glory and honor". Of course, he'll tell something different to the lords and maybe even the militia.

Does that sound reasonable?

<Snipped quote by Gin>

He may be powerful, but he is also humble. Attacking an unknown enemy is one of the worst strategic mistakes possible. Especially considering that we don't even know if they're hostile.

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

That's super not how feudalism, militaries, tactics and basic logic work. As far as "tactical and strategic planning" goes, I'll remind you that The Art of War was written in 500 BC, which is the most basic strategy possible.


I would also like to point out that again, this is Deaus, not Earth, there is a possibly that the Art of War or some general equal to Sun Tzu never existed/wrote a book. Also with how I've planned for Deaus, NotEurope and NotAsia are seperated by a mass of ocean with no real land route.

That said, maybe Dante could become the Sun Tzu of Deaus and one of his motivations for taking interest in the GHU forces is their tactics and planning and stuff and write a NotArt of War with all the info he gathered.

Anyway, it would have been prudent to establish at least a secondary plotline to keep the fantasy characters occupied in the meantime. If you have two distinct groups of characters, only giving one of them anything to do doesn't really make sense.


I'm trying too come up with a plan, if any one has a good idea I'm welcomed to their suggestions ^^

EDIT: A reaaallllyyyy basic idea is that somehow all the fantasy character are involved in this battle some how although I'll admit its a really flimsy idea.
