Kaldor grinned at the comments from Laine and Jack "Good to see that the two of you are putting more thought into this, but I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding, you are to clean up these archers before the Order reaches the battlefield. It will save us a lot of headaches." He said motioning to Liang to continue. "The Shaman will be located at the rear of the Orc army. He seems to be at some shrine preparing something. Once Our army meets the Orc's that should draw more than enough attention for your group to attack said shrine and kill the Shaman. Once you have his head throw it to the Orcs at the rear of their army and word will quickly spread." She clarified while grinning. "As for guards we have been able to confirm two Black Orcs at the shrine but other than that it will be a guess. Our scouts are relaying what they can back and we have sent Orders for any who come across your path to join your mission." Liang said before looking at Siegfried.

He nodded knowing what she meant, "Time to head out. that's going to be all the Information we get for now if you want to rest before we head out now would be the time we only have an hour to get ready." He said trying to remind the group before leaving the command tent. Siegfried would spend a good part of his hour at the Quartermaster making sure he had all the equipment he would need for the next few days.

Lol if everyone waits to post we will never move! Let's try to get some movement and if you want to talk to someone approach them! We did just get thrown into a team so someone might want to learn something about the others.

On a side note did we loose @happy go lucky?

Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

Sooooo everyone busy or no one have anything to say?

Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

There we go big old long post to move the story on a bit. Ask questions if you wish and put some character thought into it. I'll say tomorrow can me more socializing and if anyone wants to talk to Siegfried I will gladly respond but by Wensday I plan to have us leave the camp (bit of time skip where you guys can try to put in leadership skills if you want the job) and be at setting up to attack the Orc camp. (unless I decide we need to be ambushed) MUHAAAHAAHAA!

alright I'm tired night everyone

Also if that post is to much a wall of text for anyone let me know and I can work to break it up more

Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

As everyone started to come into the command tent they were taken to the strategic map of the upcoming battle and were told to wait until the others arrived. Jack's comment was meet by a scoff from Kaldor, "Now who in their right mind would actually like seeing you Jack? You are here for a hunt, not one of your normal ones though join the others and I'll explain it soon." he commented not leaving his place at the table. It was clear that he was thinking over the battle trying to predict whatever the enemy would throw at them. Siegfried had been the last to reach the command tent and upon looking at the group assembled he gave a small sigh "Good, I haven't fought any of you recently I can't be in trouble" and Siegfried was quickly ushered to the table side.

The group stood in silence for a good minute as Kaldor continued to stare at the map "You very well know you are not built for strategy Kaldor leave that to me and tell your team there why you called them all here" Liang said as she came into the tent herself. Kaldor gave a small growl before looking up "Fine I'll leave it be for now. Alright everyone as of this moment the lot of you are now a special unit under my direct orders for the remainder of this mission. Are we understood?" he asked but didn't wait for an answer, "Good, now this here is a map of our upcoming battle and..." Kaldor began to explain before getting cut off, "As you can see our enemy a small orc army of about 300 has taken up a defensive position inside Blackthorn Pass right on the only road through the valley, the exact path we have to take in order to get to Fort Gansforth." she began explaining while taking a red block and putting at the opposite mouth of the valley. "This terrain is very advantageous to the Orcs as we will have no real way around them and it will be very easy for them to ambush us with arrows from the valley walls above. But luckily for us they can only position units here due to the terrain on the opposite side of the cliff." She continued while placing another Red block on the left side of the valley.

"That is where you come in." Kaldor butted in, "Our scouts have found a small path up ahead that can lead you up to that position where you will deal with whatever orcs you find up there." He explained. "Yes Yes, luckily our scouts have been looking for the Orcs in that area and say their can't be more than 20 of them up there. and for this group that many orcs shouldn't be a real problem." Liang continued shooting Kaldor a look for jumping into her briefing. "But that is only the first part of your assignment, after you clean up our archer problem you will have one more target. Our reports suggest that this orc clan is lead by a Shaman, and it doesn't take much imagination to think up how much damage an Earth based mage can do to an army in a valley." Liang said giving that a bit of time to sink in and giving Kaldor a look almost allowing him to speak. "After you clean up the Orc's on the cliff we need you to assassinate the Shaman before he can devastate our army. And with our opponents being Orcs as soon as you kill this Shaman their troops should break retreat back to their holes." Kaldor said taking his opportunity to speak.

"Now we know you are all capable for this assignment or else we wouldn't of chosen you for it. Each of you will be a valuable aspect to this team, But aside form Siegfried none of you have any real leadership experience. That being said Siegfried can't officially be made into a squad leader due to political reasons. So as our representative he will be watching over this group and seeing which one among you will grow to become a Squad Leader within the Order and shall have charge of this squad until we kill Thresh and are done with this mission." Liang explained and Siegfried nodded and Kaldor Stood stepped back from the table. "If you have any questions ask them now. Otherwise you are to be ready to move out in one hour. Siegfried will have the map to get you to the path but once you reach it. its up to you to impress him." He said waiting for anyone to ask anything. If no one had any questions he would dismiss them.
