Bio
Alright Soooo here it is,
I'm an old man (post 30's) who has been at the RP game since I was in Middle School. Happily Married and a huge Nerd. My main interests for RP's and such are Medieval Realistic Fantasy, As in no one person wielding a massive 200 lb weapon in one hand or going way over the top with crazy 25 hit combos in the air. I like things to play out as they would normally of course with magic, magic is always fun. I also like Futuristic Space (Star Wars, Mass Effect, and almost anything involving some sort of Mech). I work a crap ton and cant really get into a real post every day but I do try. If you think you got something I might like hit me up.

@Lyla now that part I didn't know. Silas might be swayed by sentinel stuff.
By all means we can start heading into formation and have battle prepared posts :)
@Temperance Ouch I know that pain and yeah posting from phones sucks I totally understand. Lets hope for the best.
@Lyla I might have had that come off in a mean way, and that is not what I wanted to do. You can totally ask in character I have no objections, but from Silas' point of view he will see a rookie trying to question his strategy and fight with someone they had barley meet the night before. Granted I did give that team to Skull and Cuddle but that is because they could give legitimate reasons to work together, their characters already forming a sort of strategy in the RP the night before. If you can give me some good point there are NPC characters in both squads and could be swapped given valid points.

@Lyla She can Object, but I built the teams based on strengths and where people would be used best. So Strategy would trump "I like this person". that team has two strong melee and a melee/support with Sonya (possibly two good archers with Franz's npc's and builds a strong flank that will not collapse easily.
That would be a good pic of our battlefield - all the dead things for now
Kinda the thing I was going for if I didn't exactly explain it right. Sorry no Calvary because we would only have 5-6 which wouldn't really be able to make a big impact so the horses would be better used for supplies and carrying wounded.
@KaiserFranzI would say have given your npc's places but I'll leave that to you to place them within the other groups.
A cool breeze passed over the plains as the 100 man troop prepared for battle. For some a good nights sleep came as easy as any other, but for most the night before had been restless with fear, anticipation, and maybe a little of both. The 100 man Commander, Leroy Jenkins the 3rd, a young man in his mid 20's short golden hair perfectly combed to the side, stood before his gathered troops. "Today we will show these Orcs what it is to fear man! Our Numbers are superior to theirs and I trust in your "skills". I don't expect today to be easy, but we must fight for every inch that these beasts have taken from us!" He started his speech, and so far it wasn't to bad or so Silas thought. But then the Idiot had to open his mouth again. "Many of you shall die today and we will grieve your loss. But you will die in the Empire's name defending the lands of mankind!" And he had lost them with those two sentences the morale of the army plummeted now was the time to step up.
As Leroy started to explain his "strategy" of the common Militia producing a shield wall in the front while the Nobles made up the back ranks "... Enough of this... Come on Dixon" Silas said pushing his way to the front of the formation then walked out approaching Leroy. The Commander stopped his speech and turned his attention to the approaching Silas. "What nerve do you have? Return to your post or I'll have yo...." He was saying as Silas threw a nasty hook across the Commander's Jaw knocking the young noble out in a single blow. Silas then turned to the troops before him. "Well hello there Everyone, We are the Blood Rose Irregulars, and were going to make sure you all survive this mess." He announced as he moved to Dixon's side letting his partner take over from there.
Dixon looked at the knocked down commander, before turning to the crowd before him. Time to put that training as a bard to work.
"Ladies, gentleman, or whatever you identify yourself as, I am Dixon Cyder, but you can all call me, Daddy, and let me make this clear. Listening to that man" he points to the commander on the ground, "will get you killed. It's very clear that he has no intention on getting on the battlefield, and letting you all die for his glory. Is that how you want to be remembered? As his stepping stone to greatness?" He asked them. "Personally? I say fuck that." He smiled.
"Many, many years ago. There was a general who had an army, of 50 soldiers. He knew that within hours, the other army, well into the hundreds, would be there. So, he told his army to hide in the houses, and opened the city gates, and sat on a roof to play his lute. When the enemy arrived, surprised to see one man playing an instrument. So what did the enemy army do? They turn and ran, convinced that this man had his large army hidden away." He smiled as he looked at the army. "You see, if you take two seconds, think of a descent plan," again, he looked towards the commander, "then you can win anything." He said.
"Orcs are a tough group. What they lack in brains, they make up for in muscle. But I don't intend on laying down and letting them have their way with me. Violet or Odessa on the other hand.....sorry, lost in thought." He said. "Now, Silas and I have been up all night, working on a plan to kickass and take names." He said, then looked at Silas, before looking at the crowd. "He and I shall make groups, and the groups will have specific jobs on the field. And yes, he and I shall be right next to you on the field. So now, we will go out and do that voodoo that we do so well!" He smiled, looking at the crowd.
"That, you stupid idiot, is how it's done." He said to Leroy before walking up to Silas.
Silas half sighed at Dixon's speech but it did get its point across. "Now with that being said lets get started making these teams, will all of you who have seen real combat, our veterans step forward first so I can select our team captains" Silas announced knowing they would have to work fast to have everything ready before the orcs came.
Silas would spend the next hour setting up teams and explaining the strategy. Each 5 man team would be lead by a veteran warrior who's job would be to ensure the safety and survival of the rest of their squad. There would be 17 of these 5 man squads set up in a V formation with the most experienced squads being on the flanks and dead center as those would be the points where the Orcs would funnel to. The remaining 15 men would act as reserves who's purpose would be to relieve the injured and tired as was needed. This group would also have use of the few horses the troop had in order to quickly get where needed.
The adventurers found themselves broken across 5 of these teams located in key locations of the fomation.
Team 1: Silas, Odessa, 3 NPC (Dead Center)
Team 2: Dixon, Violet, Argleif, 2 NPC (Center Right)
Team 3: Ludi, Stefano, 3 NPC, Stefano's pets (Right Flank) -No fair you guys get a small army...
Team 4: Jan, Ren, 3 NPC (Center Left)
Team 5: Amare, Sonya, Jehan, 2 NPC (Left Flank)
With the teams set and the plan explained the 100 man troop continued forward now ready to face the Orc threat. They had a bit more confidence than they had only an hour ago, but only time would tell if this new plan would bear the desired fruits.

Hey everyone sorry for my absence yesterday been sick and didn't move from bed when I got off work. So we are moving along nicely with talking to each other but I'll ask if we want to move on to the next morning and get ready to fight. So I'll put a simple vote into action. Like this post if you want to move on, and laugh if you want to keep going.
I'll give us at least the rest of the day and if a majority of you have voted we shall call the voting closed and go on with the decided action.

"Well we will win the battle, of that I have no doubt. If each of our capable warriors were to take out three Orcs we will win easily. What I worry about is our casualties. As you said this Commander is a fool and if he doesn't play his cards right we will have a lot of dead militia on our hands. But I don't plan to let that happen, and if comes down to it I am going to be counting on strong people such as yourself to help me protect the weaker members of our group." He said agreeing with Violet's first comment. And it seemed that he had let a bit of his thoughts get away from him for a bit.
"You are indeed right miss Violet, I didn't come to you asking for tactical advice. But I did come for a reason, a message from one of your sisters, Iris." Silas said keeping his vision forward.
"Death, we heed your call
Divine Andraia - your daughters walk forth
To finally sit with you
We fall as martyrs
We perish in battle
We will dance at last
We are free"
Silas gave the message almost like he had received it himself yesterday. "Now before you jump to conclusions, she isn't dead just gone." He said calmly, but tensed up a bit ready to react if Violet made a move at him. "A few years ago we meet.... well meet isn't exactly the right word, she was contracted to assassinate me. Obviously she failed in that attempt, and I'm kinda happy about that, and although I didn't kill her she botched an assassination which isn't exactly good for an assassin's reputation. My partner has some connections were able to fake her death and give her a new identity. She was much to kind to be an Assassin, hesitated on her approach I felt her intent. But she is alive and she wanted me to let one of you know if I ever found another one of you. She said some of you kept in contact and would spread the word." Silas said remembering the kind assassin that once spared his life.
He then turned to Violet with a smile under his mask. "Also if your half the fighter Iris was then I have a proposition for you. My partner and I have started ourselves a Mercenary Group "The Blood Rose Irregulars" I can get you a spot on our team if you wish. I don't need an answer today come see us tomorrow after the battle." Silas said before starting to walk away. "Ohh I almost forgot, Silas Rose at your service. If you ever need anything just call." He said with a quick turn and a bow knowing that Violet couldn't see the action but he did it anyway. Silas then went to continue on his way trying to read the mood of the camp and looking for any interesting individuals he may have missed earlier.
