Is it okay If my character is like... farther back, taking the job of taking down any enemies that try to slip past and loot/pillage/burn/destroy anything behind, or try to flank the soldiers? And can I have a better description of where we're fighting? At first I thought it was a bridge, where our side is on the far side, the city on the opposite side, and the enemies trying to take the bridge from us to reach the city- and yet, launching onself from roof to enemies would mean crossing some chasm? I have no idea the layout we're dealing with, besides buildings, bridge, wall and broken gate. Ideally, one would want to keep enemies from getting through the gate, but I guess that's out the gate, so to speak.I tried to address this in my opening post but i guess i was a little vague. The setting is we are fighting at the gate of a Castle, where the fight taking place is on a wide road leading to the Bridge. I left the layout blank on purpose, allowing y'all to paint your own small picture of what you imagined it to be with the details i gave. So you know there is a wall, and connected to the walls is the gate. beyond the gate a great road travels through a small market district, with both houses and shops dotting both sides of the road with many side streets and narrow alley ways to boast. Not far from the gate lay the Sky bridge, a massive and long bridge that connects the eastern castle to the Castle Solvano. You could do that. That is up for you to decide, yet stray away from being alone for long (a note to everyone) I, at this point, will allow you to write in NPC soldiers to aid in your fight but this will not always be the case. As per my IC, the soldiers have resisted a weeks worth of assaults on the walls and held. The only reason we are fighting by the gate with the bulk of our forces is because, again, as per my IC post a siege engine walked itself to the gate forcing us to ready our defenders on the road. But take note; the enmey is not hear to pillage or burn. if they do break through it will be to outflank our soldiers, or kill any straggling civilians left in the city.
While i wont go into detail on what will happen, I can say expect some choices for some of your characters.
Well i can't promise it'll be easy. Easy win, and no contest makes this a dull RP :)
The only issue is the "nord from skyrim", again I'd rather something more detailed than that. Fix that, and we are good and you can post the CS in the CS tab and get to work on an IC post.
Listen to music, play a video game, or watch a movie. All those help me with writers block :)
Everyone is where everyone should. Archers are elevated or taking up flanking positions, mages with them. While warriors are on the street.
Across Sky Bridge lies the great Castle Solvano. It is considered the strongest fortress in all the lands, and rightfully so.
You're caravan could be warned; but I find it unlikely. The Caravan would, however, notice the large enemy force if they tried to arrive at the current Castle First Reach, and most likely would have been slaughtered by now. If you want, you can write IC expalining how your caravan arrived in the days before the enemy arrived. I'll leave you with some leeway in this aspect, as it is your story to tell :>
Just noticed the small spot in the physical description above the picture. I would like a more widely known set of terms versus "a nord from skyrim" wording. While to some it might paint the picture you intended, but to others who have not played the game it might not make much sense. Expand the physical description now as well. Besides that it looks up to par :3
Ok, the IC is up.
Things to note:
-The battle is taking place in a street, so their are buildings on both sides of the road. Archers, this is a great vantage point for you but not the only one. If you can create a better one then do so :)
-Our current army is a couple thousand strong, while theirs is numerous. At it's current point, we do not stand a chance at winning this fight and we all stand a chance of death here. In my next post i will create opportunities for us to change the outcome, at first it will be obvious yet do note that there will be inherent danger in each move.
-The walls still hold, but are manned by a skeleton crew of sorts.
-If your CS is not in at this point don't fret! We shall stay on this battle for a couple rounds of posting before we move on.
-The enemy we shall face now is VERY very fast. I warn you now because, like i said from the start, you can die if you do stupid things against them. I will be hesitant to write your characters out at this point, but if it warrants it (say, rushing out in the middle of their formation) i will not be so nice ;)
Play smart folks! This will be our only public safety announcement for the remainder of the RP :>
We are still here; just putting the final touches on the IC. It will be posted tomorrow morning so don't fret just yet.
I like having them OM'ed to me first to avoid clutter in the OOC thread ;) They will eventually be required to be posted in the character tab before any IC posting can be done but for accepting purposes i do that via PM.
