Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

Alm had rushed out of the Inn before the panic had set in allowing him to survey the scene a bit. He quickly made his way up a ladder to the Inn's roof to get a better view of the area, it was there he saw it. A group of orcs had detached themselves from the forces attacking the main gate and were moving to the West. Alm knew that the Knights would concentrate themselves at the Main Gate as that was where the main threat was at so he made his way to the west. Alm would not let these beasts run free through the city before the civilians had a chance to escape.

On his way Alm was able to recruit three of the Empire Knights to join him on the West side, he didn't know how many Orcs had detached themselves but hopefully the four of them would be able to hold them off long enough for the signal to retreat to be sounded. As Alm made it to the Western wall it seemed he was a little late to the party, A section of the wall was destroyed as if the Orcs had hit it with a battering Ram and a small number of Orcs were already inside attacking Civilians as they tried to flee. Alm rushed ahead the Knights close behind him charging the Orcs.

The fist orc fell with ease as it had not seen Alm coming, From his charge Alm made a powerful slash upward across the Orc's body nearly cleaving it in two. And using the Momentum of the swing he pivoted around at the next gracefully manuring the weapon to deliver a powerful jab to the face of a second Orc. As the Orc stumbled back it was quickly ran through by one of the Empire Knights. With only a few more orcs inside the walls Alm turned his attention to the whole in the wall in an attempt to prevent more orcs from entering while the Empire Knights finished off the Orcs inside.

That was until a powerful thud was heard and one of the Empire Knights flew past Alm smacking into the wall limp. Alm quickly turned back to see a War Troll with a massive club preparing to take out another of the Empire knights who quickly rolled away from the attack. "Well Damn, how did I miss you?" Alm asked himself turning his full attention to the Troll readying himself. "Guess that explains how the wall got busted open..." He commented Lowering himself into a more agile stance ready to dodge the Troll's attacks. And as he did his eyes started to faintly turn silver, the air around Alm seemed to get colder, and a bit of frost seemed to swirl around his blade. "Change of plans, Knights focus on the hole in the gate, I'll kill this thing." Alm yelled out to the two remaining knights who quickly agreed to the strategy and retreated behind Alm to get to the busted gate.

@Stp th3Swordman the character looks interesting the only thing that is hanging me up is the pocket dimension. I understand the necessity because carrying around 8 swords would be a pain in the ass, but in the bio I don't see where you learned this trick or how you control it.

Extra comment not related to acceptance of character. He seems like an evil little shit just grinning at the destruction of his home.

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

@Stp th3Swordman yes indeed I'll still look at a cs. Although it's a bit late to be a current member of the team there is defiantly an opportunity to prove yourself here

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

Hmmm just noticed I forgot to put a last paragraph detailing Alm's current fight. I'll Wright one up in the morning unless one of you guys want to paint that scene

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

There we go guys we can get started now :) hope you weren't sleeping to soundly

@stoneString One thing, Although you answered my question and now I'll say he is accepted you posted your cs on the cs tab a bit to early, Some GM's might get a bit bitchy about that in the future especially if they want you to make changes before accepting the character. Its no biggy in this instance just wanted to give you a heads up. As for the Details you can PM them to me that way I can work with you and make them come into play when the time is right. As for the Grammar its perfectly fine I've spoke English my whole life and still make mistakes, also my Wife's second language is English so I speak pretty good broken English as well :p

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

-=Adventure Zero - The Fall=-

Our Story Begins in the Gatehouse City outside of Silver Moon Citadel. It is a cool Summer night and the Irregulars are getting some much needed rest after returning from the Dread Desert on a successful contract. Another Day or so and the Contact would arrive to pay for the artifact and then the Irregulars could set off for Home to take on another Mission.

Alm lay in his bed at the Inn half asleep, his window open to let in the cool air and fill the room with the quiet meanderings of the city outside. But in the peace of night an odd sent made its way into the room Alm almost instantly shot up as the word "Orcs" left his mouth. In an instant Alm was up getting ready for battle and by the time the alarm bell started to ring he was already out the door of the Inn racing to meet the Orc's in combat. As for the Others their sleep would be interrupted by this bell which would put the entire city into a state of frenzy. Civilians made their way to the Gatehouse for protection while Knights funneled out of the gatehouse to aid and protect the civilians while they fled.

As the rest of the Irregulars were stirred and got themselves ready they would be stopped by Jing before leaving the Inn. After they were all gathered, minus Alm, Jing started to give his orders. "Alright everyone from what Stephan was able to find out, the City is under attack by Orcs lots of them. And Although Alm is an Idiot for running off on his own... He has his heart in the right place. So were going to go assist the Knights in the evacuation of the civilians. Xia, Freir you two go find Alm and help him," "The Idiot is fighting in the western district, seems the orcs broke through the wall there" Stephan broke in for a moment. "Right, Volux, Arden, Sara, you three head to the East district and help out as you can. If they broke in on the west its only a matter of time until the same happens in the East." Jing continued. "As for Myself, Shion, and Gwen we will head north to the main gate and assist there. Now Stephan, I know you don't "work for free" so go take that artifact and find the buyer meet up with us in three days in the village of Blackrock, from there we will go over our options. Remember everyone we are not here to win a war today, we are just here to cover the escape of civilians. We will come back to win this war when we are actually getting paid for it." Jing joked for a second, "Stay safe and remember if we get separated regroup at Blackrock Village, do not retreat into the Citadel we will be worthless trapped in there." Jing gave the last bit of his speech before telling everyone to head out.

As the Irregulars left the Inn they could see how bad things were going to get, Fires were already starting to spread near the Walls of the City and still a strong stream of panicked civilians were trying to force their way to the gatehouse. The sounds of Battle now echoed into the streets and although the Knights were holding of the Orc attack for now there was no telling how long it would last.

-=Points of Interest=-

Silver Moon Citadel

The Silver Moon Citadel stands as Humanities first line of defense Sitting at the mouth of the Dread Pass all who wish to Enter, or leave the Empire must pass the massive Fortress. The Construction of the Citadel makes it nearly impregnable with such narrow paths leading to the gates that it is difficult to bring siege equipment or even great numbers to siege the main gate. And yet the Citadel's presence demands that you deal with it preventing an army from marching past on the valley floor just because that army would quickly be attacked in the rear from the Citadel's Knights.

Divided into Four areas even if you got into the main Citadel your fight would be far from over.

Inner Ward - The Inner Ward houses the Keep, Barracks, Granary and Armories and its own set of massive walls it is the final line of defense for the Citadel. The keep is large enough to house the population of the Citadel in times of dire need as well as get them to safety with a set of secret tunnels that lead off into empire territory if the need to evacuate the citizens arises.

Outer Ward - The Outer Ward is the Life of the Citadel it is where the commoners live, work, shop, and go about their lives safely tucked into the mountain side and with only one main gate the Outer Ward alone would be incredibly difficult to breach as any forces attempting to cross the bridge to reach the walls would be easy targets for the Archers and Mages charged with her defense.

Lone Gatehouse - Across the stone bridge from the Citadel lies a Lone Gatehouse, this stands as the final checkpoint for those leaving the Empire and a Welcome home for those returning. Anyone wanting to enter the Citadel must first pass through the Gatehouse Which is garrisoned with its own small army for protection.

Gatehouse City - With Adventurers and travelers not wanting to have to venture into the Citadel for a bit of rest or a place to trade goods a city ended up popping up outside the Gatehouse. Located on the Dread Desert's side of the Gatehouse the small city is surrounded by a strong wooden wall and has all the needs of those who are willing to venture to the desert and especially those returning from it. Protected by the looming Gatehouse filled with Empire Knights even this small city would be hard pressed to fall to the normal rabble that tries to attack from the desert.

Sanada Estates

What was once just a plot of land that Jing was given for his service to the Empire, now stands the Sanada Estates. Almost a castle in its own right the Estates serve as the home for the Bloodrose Irregulars. While Jing is out adventuring the managing of the Estate is left to Ce his Oldest Son. While the Adventuring Contracts are a good source of Income for the Estate it's primarily form of Income is farming as the lands just outside the estate are perfect for growing crops and the Estate itself has more than enough room to house the workers inside its walls.

The Estates lie in the north western part of the Empire territory positioned in a place where it is easy enough to get to either border depending on where the Irregulars next mission takes them.

@Dark Light thanks for that she looks good look go ahead and add her to .ca tab.

And with that ill get started on starting this up tomorrow

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

@stoneString yes you would still be in time. So you covered the biggest issue i normally have with bare knuckle brawlers which is nice. I do have one question that might be an issue. In the bio you mention being a loner and not really talking. Is that still part of your personality or would you have "grown out of" that tendency. Because from experience it's kinda annoying to try and to with a character who just grunts at you when you try and talk

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall

So since it seems no one else will bite I'll ask. Would someone be willing to take on a second character that will be pretty important to the story? If anyone is interested send me a pm and I'll give you the information. Either way I'll try to get this started on Wednesday
