Storm of Blood

Introduction

The city of Xoni has come under siege by the Kingdom of Morgonwrath against the city state of Xoni. The city has almost been overrun at this point, but the battle can still go either way. In the center stage of this conflict, two mercenary companies find themselves locked in a struggle of life and death. The Silver Shield Company has been tasked with defending the main gate into the keep in order to safe keep the First Prince and his family still inside. The Black Talon sellswords have been paid and given the simple order to execute the Prince and his sons. The success of one company or the other could send ripples across the lands.

Arena


Name: Grand Archway

Size: 45 meter long bridge, 10 meters wide.

Description: In this scenario the Silver Shields are the defenders and the Black Talons the aggressors. The Black Talons begin at the far south end of the bridge (the max 45 meters away from the opposite team). The Silver Company are on the north end at the gateway into the central keep. The gate is some 15 feet high and some six feet wide. The gate itself is ironclad and barricaded, though a sustained effort could force it in. The Silver Company start at the foot of the gate and must fend off the Black Talon attack by any means. On the bridge itself are several of barrels and crates abandoned at the start of the siege centered in the middle of the bridge; they are all waist height. A large stagecoach sits in the very center of the bridge.

Factions

The Black Talon Company

The Blacktalons are a mercenary group based out of the Eastern City of Drodrolis that predominantly takes contracts guarding and raiding caravans. Led by Taurgosz Khosann, they are an unscrupulous company known for their autonomy, vengeance (when they are cheated out of money) and for never reneging on a contract. As a testament to the bandits who preceded them, the Blacktalons are known for raiding unguarded caravans in order to encourage their owners to seek their protection. Recent times has seen the group rise to be one of the free realms of the east most powerful mercenary company. Ruthless and vicious, they are feared widely for their mistreatment of prisoners. Their emblem is that of four toed foot of a bird of prey.

The Silver Shield Company

The Silvershields is a mercenary company based in the city of Zrand's Gate on the Sapphire Coast, where a good portion of its members served as city guards. They also work outside the city; their sphere of influence extending just south of Beregost but stopping before Nashkel. The company was started by a landless knight by the name of Sir Janequin Blamarc also known as Janequin the Fearless. When the Northern realm of the Hosredor Kingdom was swept away by a large horde of marauding orcs, many noblemen and knights who had been forced into exodus found themselves without a liege lord. Janequin gathered these survivors into a reputable order of sorts, one that survived off the funds from clientele such as caravans that still needed to pass through the northern territories. Famed for their bravery and reliability, the Silvershields hire themselves out as sellswords to fund their campaign against the orcs of the north. Hoping to one day reclaim their homeland.

Classes

In Storm of Blood players have the option of a few classes to create a range of possible teamwork combination options in order to take advantage of the larger than normal number of players. This helps diversify the characters engaging each other and gives everyone a loose role to fill. Here are the classes currently available.

Knight/berserker- Knights are the armored juggernauts of their respective factions. Always making up the core of any fighting force or warband. They are the only ones who have access to half-plate armor (note not full plate heavy Gothic mail) and have access to savage killing implements such as maces, longswords, or even battle axes, the equivalent of the Black Talon company are often called berserker. Though in practice they share the same roles as their Silver Shield knight counter parts. Due to their expensive, but potent heavy armor, Knights/berserkers never have the option for ranged weaponry or tower shields. Instead relying on two handed weapons to maximize their sheer destructive power. They miss out on reach weapons such as polearms, however.

Men-At-Arms- unlike their larger or heavily armored and armed cousins, Men-at-Arms rely on a balance of protection and mobility often possessing nothing heavier than chainmail, but have the option of tower shields. Only they have access to pole-arm weapons as well as javelins or throwing axes for limited at range options. They tend to be the mainstay of an effective warband.

Archers- The deadly snipers of the battlefield who send quick death from afar. Properly protected, they can be a considerable threat to the enemy-- left unsupported however... well they tend to not last long. Only Archers have the option of ranged weapons, both in the form of bows and crossbows. Melee sees them armed with little more than a short sword or hatchet at most. They can have nothing greater than leather armor at most, with crossbowmen given the option of a pavise shield though usually are among the quickest on the battlefield.

Rogues/Assassins- The knight may choose to face her enemies head on, but the rogue classes tend to hang back and seek to take out targets from the shadows- often with a quick back stab if they can manage it. While they can have only slightly better protection than archers, they make up for it with the possibility of having a few tricks up their sleeve. They can carry throwing knives, hidden blades, or simple smoke bombs. Not to mention the option of having their main melee weapon coated in poison. It is never wise to discount the rogue.

Arena Chat Thread

Hello arena folks!

So quick question, is anyone interested in being a judge for a melee I plan to run?

Its not ranked (not the first series anyway) but I still would like a judge for it if anyone is free. Its for the same melee I hosted in interest you might have seen.

Exanima- New Players Are Welcome!

I still plan on doing this, I just need to finish up the arena.

Been a busy day and tomorrow looks like its going to be another busy day again. So Friday at the latest. Though probably today.

The Multiverse: Arena

Power of cooperation

@Rilla

The power of plot you mean.

@Skallagrim I never understood how the F4 managed to continually fight Doom to a standstill. He's so far away from their tier that they shouldn't actually stand a chance.

@LeeRoy

And batman keeps up with the freaking Justice league; The man dodged an undodgable attack from Darksieds omega beams once, the same attack Superman could not avoid and it KO'ed the fool in one hit.

Also to remind you how much Batman is totally outside his tier range.

The Multiverse: Arena

People are gonna flip, I think. Especially if they react like they did with Black Johnny. I've seen some flip over the female Thor, didn't know about Hulk though. I don't really read American comics, as I prefer mangas, thanks to my brother.

@Rilla

They nerds really flip their shit when they made Heimdall black. (BUT BUT! THIS IS WHITE DOMINATE NORSE MYTHOLOGY! YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY OF THE CHARACTERS BE BLACK! THAT MAKES NO SENSE*NERDY SQUEAL*)

Never mind as far as marvel verse is concerned, Thor and them are not even gods, just advanced other dimensional beings with their own rules and laws. :K

The Multiverse: Arena

Thor is a female now, the Hulk is an Asian kid genius, there are going to be huge changes when marvel reboots its comic universe.

@Skallagrim

Would you be for a Female Thor and/or Wolverine change up in the marvel movies? :P

I imagine allot of the hardcore fans would be up in arms, but it would be nice to see more varied roles, instead of the one millionth white male main character protagonist.

The Multiverse: Arena

<Snipped quote by Skallagrim>

WAIT. This argument has been about transformations in a competitive sense? No, of course not. Transformations give you an unfair tier advantage over your opponent in a competitive scene. Story-telling-wise it's fine and dandy, entertaining and while not entirely fair, it's cool.

But having a powered up mode in a set level competition? That's just rude and unfair.

@LeeRoy

To be honest, wraiths have been allowed in both tournaments in the past and by far are much more broken than someone who can transform (in the traditional sense) because on top of being able to take ANY shape, they also come with a plethora of immunities and special abilities. Not to mention the high regeneration factor.

Part of the reason I have yet to resurrect Zubila, my sand wraith.

Of course, Skalla has a soft spot for the undead. :P

The Multiverse: Arena

If Spiderman is like most comics, then it could just depend entirely on the writer, similar to Wolverine where his healing power ranges greatly.

@Rilla

That's why you have canon and none-canon. Another fun fact, officially Wolverine is currently dead in marvel comics, replaced by a female wolverine named Laura Kinney. I think when the current actor for wolverine Hugh Jackman eventually retires from the character, it would be interesting to just kill him off and have a female wolverine replace him like in the current marvel comic timeline. Hugh will be a hellva act to follow, but I think a female lead would be interesting to see.
