[OOC] Chevalier: A New Initiative

[Jinxer]

If anyone is confused or unsure how to proceed just PM me.

[chukklehed]

People other people are waiting for:
Everybody: Dizzy, Wernher
Me: Jinx, Dizzy, Wernher

P.S. there are only 5 people in this RP. I think we need new blood.

[Jinxer]

Advanced RP usually moves a little slower than casual - that's why it's important to get a lot into a single post.

[chukklehed]

doesn't change the fact that we only have 5 people.

[Wernher]

Sorry, I've been having kind of a blank page regarding to this, I'll try and get back to it.

[chukklehed]

*throws Scorpion's grappling hook*
GET IN HERE!

[Wernher]

Going to work now, BUT KNOW THAT I SHALL RETURN with words, words to post!

[chukklehed]

OH SHIT HE'S GETTING WORDS! RUN FOR YOUR GODFORSAKEN LIVES!

[Jinxer]

Shiny, no worries; this is Advanced so the pace is always a little slower.

Now I'm off to work >.>

[DizzyRenegade]

Been busy lately and every time I try to check in with the site, it's over loaded so I wasn't able to access rpg for a bit. I'll have a post up later today or tomorrow.

[Jinxer]

That's cool - I for one am just happy to see everyone is still interested! Advanced moves more slowly naturally so never feel rushed to post.

[DizzyRenegade]

Oh hmmm that was shorter than I would've liked, but it was also quicker. Anyways, posted! Also seems there's a Henry and Gwen thing going on ;)

[Wernher]

Btw, what's the exact nature of the enemy's equipment? Are their weapons, muskets, wheel lock, flintlock or? Level of armor?

[chukklehed]

Prepare for impending involentary jealousy from Caroline, Diz

[Jinxer]

Apparently so, Dizzy! The question is can she penetrate his cold warrior facade now that it's back up?

Flintlock Muskets, Wernher. They'll also be equipped with basic field cannons (12 pounders) at this stage. Later I intend to introduce rifled weapons (such as those used by the Jaegers and Green Jackets in the early 1800s) as well as a few other... advances.

Update: And with that post I am off to bed. Also that last 'shower of metal on metal' was a volley from the enemy infantry.

[Wernher]

I'm reading all that's happening and maybe I'm just tired from constant work, but I don't seem to quite follow what's going on.

Are we at the central school ground? Or in one of the cities? Or at the door of the Academy?

I thought I explained my plan as Henry fighting a bit, then retreating through the woods because we had no armor we'd be slightly faster (Then it's Louis XIV going down on our ass with muskets while I had in mind Arquebus with at least breastplates, so we're actually LESS mobile than the enemy) to then set it on fire and intercept as the enemy fled from it.

So, do I just roll with it and use plot magic to try and make something badass (Henry seems to have the lead on that with Caroline slightly behind) or is there a precise, easily written description of what's happening.

When did the town catch on fire? Why are there still people, much less artillery, going through a burning town to get in a fort (I'm fuzzy about where this one came from) in the middle of it?

[chukklehed]

You should just make as accurate a post as you can and come back to fix it if you need to when you have tasty sleep in your body.

[chukklehed]

Also we've almost reached the plot magic quota for now, and Elizabeth has one last piece before the end

[Jinxer]

The town is outside the Academy walls and we are still at the Academy. Henry agreed with Revaz but he thought it unlikely the entire enemy force would fall for the trap so they split their force in two; Revaz has the wood team and Henry will join them, luring the enemy, before moving his forces to the barricade where the rest of the enemy (the infantry) will follow.

The infantry will be lightly armoured but the cavalry are more life Cuirasseurs (with the breastplate) so they'll be slower than unarmoured cavalry.

TO;DR: at the Academy, splitting enemy force into two, Revaz in charge of wood team taking out enemy cavalry, the town is outside the walls of the Academy (one town at each gatehouse and called Unity together, differentiated by their geographical location e.g. North, South etc.)

[chukklehed]

Also Henry got hit by a tree's revenge, and Caroline is sporting a stylish new stone stomach piercing.

P.S. Henry didn't see Caroline's wound, and won't until she gets off the horse at least.
