I haven't heard anything about the population size of Vi'Zur so it's possible they suffered major losses on an Orc Charge. But I'm also talking about digging in, having heavy pikes and spears that they drop into place for the orcs to impale themselves on. Because I no doubt they could keep going, but that kind of damage can't be ignored by all but the largest and toughest of beasts. It would weaken even those big orcs and the blood loss would take its toll even on those monstrosities. And even without military training, it seems kinda common sense to me. If I am wrong about their knowledge and capabilities, do tell me.

@Saint Girralo This'll be clearer when I get more of the lore up but Orcs aren't stupid mindless beasts despite what their pictures might look like.

Look on the Map, Vi'Zur has four other towns in fairly close proximity, one of which is a fortress with one would assume trained and well outfitted soldiers. Orcs attack towns for very specific reasons, for resources, to kidnap certain people or because a demon told them to. While Demons might like mindless carnage they're not going to send loyal followers into a death trap for no reason. Loyal followers to demons are uncommon, while the demons might not care too much about keeping orcs alive they're not going to send them to their graves without a reason or the orcs might stop following the demons.

I realize that kind of thing might not have been obvious since I haven't put all the information up yet and for that I apologize but unless their is something very rare and very valuable in Vi'Zur that orcs or demons desperately need and can't get anywhere else there is no reason they'd be foolish enough to attack that particular town.

Very well. @Prince of Seraphs

@Laue my character didn't exactly understand what yours meant by an Orc charge, and her kills have been mostly those smaller Orcs.

Hey guys, looking on the map would it be reasonable to think that traveling from Vi'Zur to Veiron would be around a two day trip with a horse and cart?

@Laue@Saint Girralo@Awesomoman64@Lugubrious@OldManWong
I have updated the map on the original post along with putting in a description of each province, land's defining characteristics, towns and water bodies. I realize some of the descriptions are a little sparse and I will try to have them filled out more fully as soon as possible. I'm bringing in a friend who's a lot better at lore writing than I am. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

@Minato Namikaze
I changed the name of Buant to Moors. The town itself is still the same, I used your bio heavily for the description of the place but you might want to change the name in your CS. Also better question are you still interested in being in this RP cause we haven't seen you since you initially put up your character sheet.

@Eodwyn Aether
Whenever you can get it to me is fine. We haven't gone too far in the RP yet so you're not missing anything.

@kkbird123@Tojin@Melkor
For those of you that voiced interest but have yet to post a CS (as well as those with a CS who seem to have gone AWOL) I will be sending out a group PM to find you if you don't get back to me soon.
1x Thank Thank

Susanna smiled when the demon knight started talking. He sounded far less threatening when he opened his mouth, like a child, he was probably simple. Still he was clearly a decent fighter, at the very least he could recognize someone putting on airs. When he approached them his hands on his weapons however Susanna sensing trouble drew the sword off her back. Its brilliant steel glistened in the low light and the golden handle shown brightly, the king's crest gleaming for anyone who knew what it meant to recognize. "I don't much care for her company my good knight." Susanna said with a hint of sarcasm on the last two words. "But I'd thank you to keep your distance from me. Her companionship is a lot more preferable to yours."


This paragraph is confusing me a bit here. I reread it a few times and it jumps from Susanna thinking to herself and then some demon knight speaking? I feel like I am missing something.

Alistair is wearing armour that makes him appear mildly demonic. I was referring to him as "the man in the demon armor" all through my last post so I didn't think demon knight was much of a stretch.

Is there something I can do to make this more interesting? Should I institute a demon attack, have word sent that a nearby town in under attack from orcs, have Susanna lose control of her demon abilities? I'm usually the guy telling other GMs what they're doing wrong but I'm not terribly experienced with doing it myself.

Well my current plan is, if Susanna accepts, is to lead Alicia to the town graveyard where a safehouse is hidden. She will not bother to even hide what's she's doing. Inside they are going to find a note from a Librarian who survived The Fall, telling anyone who found the note to go to a location/locations on the map to find whatever information said Librarian has found, which is not much. Since it will be mostly about fighting/containing demons, it may interest Susanna enough to tag along?

And anything can happen along the way, right?

Honestly a small Orc attack would be very fitting. It would cause everyone to band together while making them put their money where their mouth is. Perhaps after Alicia and Susanna learn something from the hideout?

Waiting on @OldManWong before I start a post.

Oh, will the Hammer get to taste the blood of Orcs yet again?

Oh and @Prince of Seraphs, I doubt that religion plays a huge part, but it would add to the lore to have something set up. Some faith our characters may pray toward, or has all faith been more or less lost since the Fall?

Lug said he'd post today, after that I'll have Susanna respond to Alicia and perhaps institute some form of blood event.
