[b]@Everyone[/b]:  I am really glad to see some of the things you guys are discussing.  [i]Very interesting[/i].  Do not worry, Alaric does not metagame.  Just know he's going to be sizing you up, seeing what you're capable of, and ultimately try to counter the things you throw at him.

The first battle should be relatively easy; it mainly serves a purpose to familiarize everybody with the mechanics of the RP, and ICly introduces Alaric to the Western armies.  The second battle will be tougher, with 'higher tier' soldiers.  I have a third battle planned with some interesting political/faction drama on Alaric's side, and you can use that at your discretion.

[@6slyboy6]:  I know how it is, I'm quite busy with work myself.  No problem.  You have a nice sized bio, lol, and it's something I am going to need to review this Friday or Satuday.  I really like the 'theme' of the character and the siege stuff looks very interesting, and I think I'd like to see it work... I'll get back to you this weekend!
