[OOC] Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

[Sundered Echo]

Well, as I said before, I'm not fully read up yet - I'd be a bit further than I am if not for yesterday being busy (it turned out to be busy and terrible actually).

I'm working to get a post up asap though.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

I think it is time to move on with the next round of posts. I can only imagine that white is currently in the thick of exams and is focused on revision, which is more than a reasonable enough excuse. However it has been nearly a month since the last IC post and over two months since this round started, we cannot postpone any longer. Therefore a summary will be written up here and on the IC post I have reserved for white for when she hopefully returns.

(@MacabreFox you may want to consider reserving a space for your collab as well)

Summary:
Using spies that the De Reimer family had previously sent into Alenius, Patrick De Reimer gave the order to disguise his spies as House Manshrew assassin's and carry out a assassination attempt on Giles Blackwell. Though the assassination was a complete failure with Giles not even being wounded, the servants and guards of the Blackwell household took severe casualties and the De Reimer family successfully framed House Manshrew. Meaning the people of Alenius now view the Manshrew Alliance as an enemy.

OK the intro post for this round is finally up. We can now proceed onward's with the story. For this round I will be doing two posts (plus any Collabs that anyone wants to do with me). One of these posts will be the battle of Ralda from the point of view of house Mazeltof which I will be writing alongside @Ala. I will post the results for the battle of Ralda in a separate post shortly.

[Sundered Echo]

I have completed reading the IC (it continued to be great) and I have some plans for an intro post for Lana. That might go up today, or might be tomorrow.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Sundered Echo OK thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to your post.

[Sundered Echo]

Apologies for no post today, I was quite exhausted. Will finish it tomorrow.

I'm setting it up to lead into a collab with Duncan De Reimer if that works for you @TheDuncanMorgan

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Sundered Echo That's fine with me. Like the new Profile pic BTW.

[Sundered Echo]

Credit for the new Avatar and Sig go to my lovely Partner @FallenReaper... She is quite talented.

It depicts one of my other characters.

@Sundered Echo *randomly... well, not for him, snuggles* I tend to take requests time to time, if you don't mind how long it takes. XD

Hey everyone, no idea if TheDuncanMorgan has mentioned to anyone but I'll be taking on some of the artwork for this RP. I'm currently redrawing the map to give it a slightly higher quality look and feel. If anyone does want me to draw things, I'll try my best, but don't expect me to be able to draw everything! Anyway, intro done, nice to meet you all! Any questions, ask away! :)

[Sundered Echo]

Nice to meet you Olster!

Finally posted Lana.

How shall we collab @TheDuncanMorgan?
Guild PMs or a google doc?

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Sundered Echo Great intro post. I believe a PM would be best.

[Klomster]

As people might notice, i've made a little post.

I kept the specific timing a bit loose since my actions will take a couple of days to perform but i don't want to make people feel what actual time has passed. Just make sure how the Steel Fist acts as a whole.

Also i'm not sure what the actual timing is :P So keeping it non specific helps in that regard.
Basically, i'm moving out, i can't go to your coronation @TheDuncanMorgan sorry. :P

I hope you can forgive me.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Klomster Claus can't make it...don't worry it's fine...*cries in the corner*

[Sundered Echo]

@Klomster That's acceptable in this instance.

@TheDuncanMorgan I'll try and get a PM to you to start things off tonight at some point.

Me and Andrew Cooper met up in person a while ago and went though this. The majority of things were decided with a dice roll (outcome of the battle, status of those involved in the battle) with a modifier based on advantages and disadvantages that each side has. Long story cut short it was not a good day for Ralda:

Training: Poor training

Manshrew Alliance
Ralda; 41,850

Soldiers Level

[Klomster]

Now we just need some epic story to go with that and we're good!

[Sundered Echo]

That's quite the massacre. Not a good start to the war for Manshrew....

[TheDuncanMorgan]

Sorry I have been a bit quiet for a while: Just letting everyone know that I plan to get my next post done tomorrow and the Ralda battle up by Monday. I will also let you know when Andrewcopper plans to get his next post up.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

Right...I know I said today. But I had very unexpected guests today (I mean very unexpected, like one hours notice unexpected). As a result when I found time to write the IC post it was 12:30 am and I was unable to focus properly. I have already started and may be able to get it finished by tomorrow morning, sorry about the delay.
