@Terminal You still with us, buddy?

The Final Histories of Arda: The Contention of Mordor

No, I'll probably still do it anyway - but I don't want potential players being put off if we start without them.

@Eru Iluvatar

Makes sense. I was just curious.

The Final Histories of Arda: The Contention of Mordor

So if we don't get at least two other players, are we just going to kill the RP?

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 261st

Laytn slowed his Wappa as Milo searched in the direction of the flare with his binoculars. When he called over the headset that there were indeed Federation mobile suits downrange, Laytn was simultaneously on edge and relieved. This was it, the moment that the 261st had been moving inexorably towards since the Prime Minister’s call for surrender. It seemed surreal to Laytn, like a dream that had been tormenting his sleep had now somehow blossomed into reality.

“Roger that, Feddie mobile suits downrange,” Laytn said. “Two human types, and a tank type with a possible support vehicle.”

Setting his Wappa into a full hover, Laytn sighed audibly into his helmet’s mouthpiece. “Well, if they wanted to frag us, they certainly had the opportunity. I guess it’s time to go pull our pants down, eh?”

Laytn took a moment to relay back to the convoy there position, the disposition of the Federal force, as well as the fact that he and Milo were about to attempt peaceful contact. He ended his transmission with, “Standby for further information, and stay frosty.”

Signaling to Milo, Laytn coaxed his Wappa forward. As the hovercraft raced over the dunes towards the Federation position, Laytn made sure to keep his movements predictable, and as non-threatening as possible. With each meter of desert that flew beneath him, his heart seemed to pound ever harder within his chest. He had never been this close to Feddie troops without engaging them, and every ounce of his being seemed to cry out against trusting them now.

As the meters ticked away, the mobile suits became clear on the horizon. In short order, Laytn could make out the silhouette of the war machines.

“Check me here, Milo. I got what looks like an RGC-80, an RX-75, and a…yep, an RGM-79 GM,” he said. “Is that what you’re seeing? Their weapons seemed to be stowed.”

Closing to within five-hundred meters of the lead mobile suit, Laytn began to slow his Wappa once more. His eyes affixed to the hulking, distinct features of the GM, at no time wavering from the looming metallic gaze. Never before had he been so close to one, at least not without the deadly beam saber, or beam spray gun of the Federation mobile suit being brought to bear against him. The sound of the blood coursing within his ears was almost deafening now, and time seemed to slow as Laytn at last brought his Wappa to a mere fifty meters of the GM.

With a diminishing whine, Laytn dropped power from the hover fans, bringing the Wappa to rest gently on the loose sand. As the landing feet settled, he switched off the engine, and powered down the other systems. Taking off his helmet, Laytn swung his feet around, and lifted himself from the crash couch of the Wappa. Standing beside the hovercraft, he affixed his cover onto his head, and came to stand at attention facing the Federation mobile suits. Stone faced, his jaw set, Laytn waited for Milo to join him.

So, Terminal, what do you think of my CS?

@mattmanganon

I'd PM him.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 261st

Hate to see you go. Best of luck.

@SgtEasy Don't post this kind of thing in another person's RP thread. It would be more appropriate to do this in an interest check, or in the RP discussion forum. At least that's my opinion.

The Final Histories of Arda: The Contention of Mordor

Raugz Sorr

Red Crow

Hider

Stronghold: Caran
Little alteration has been done specifically to the fortifications of Caran since the end of the War of the Ring. The warband of Raugz Sorr has begun digging several irrigation canals on the western side of the river Caraduin, just north of the river’s entrance through the stronghold. These canals are intended to service the newly planted crops on the western banks of the river. Yet, the canals also serve a dual purpose. If attackers should approach Caran from the west, the floodgates of the stronghold can be closed, resulting in flooding along the canals and the fields they irrigate.

Commander: Nakgu the Hammer
A Black Uruk born of Mordor, Nakgu is an accomplished Warg rider, tactician, and warrior. He is slightly larger than most Black Uruks, standing just over 6’ in height, making his appearance more akin to the Uruk-hai of Isengard. His skin is dark and mottled, and his hair is shaved into a long mohawk, braided into dreadlocks. In combat he wears only black leather trousers, heavy woven leather boots, and a modified Uruk berserker helm. His main weapon is a large, spiked war-hammer named Goltur. As a secondary weapon, Nakgu carries a dagger fashioned at the small of his back. He also rides a gray Warg named Krual.

Description:
Nakgu escaped the fate suffered by many of his brethren by having been located south of Nargroth when Barad-dûr fell. An excellent Warg rider and handler, Nakgu and several other Uruks had been sent towards Thaurband to gather the remaining orc bands garrisoned there to bolster the forces of Mordor against the advancing armies of men following the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

At the time of Sauron’s destruction, Nakgu and his newly marshaled band of orcs were just departing for Udun. Without the Dark Lord, Nakgu knew that the time of orc unification within Mordor was over, and that survival was to be found in the vacuum of power that remained. Seizing his opportunity, Nakgu utilized inspiration, subterfuge, and fear to lead his band to the stronghold of Caran. Arriving there, Nakgu lead his band against the small garrison of orcs, goblins, and men that yet remained. The battle that ensued was short, with many of the garrisoned orcs surrendering to Nakgu and his newly formed warband, Raugz Sorr.

In the aftermath, Nakgu declared Caran the seat of his power, and set out to improve Raugz Sorr’s disposition therein. With the plains of southern Lithlad at their fingertips, Nakgu ordered the planting of crops along the banks of the Caraduin river, as well as the construction of several prominent irrigation canals on the western shore.

Organization:
Raugz Sorr is divided into four main bodies, with each of these being controlled by one of Nakgu’s trusted Uruk lieutenants. These lieutenants form a small council of advisers, known as the Oborr, which meet regularly with Nakgu to decide matters facing the warband.

-Kalors (Warg cavalry): Headed by Nakgu’s right hand, the Uruk, Xuag. The Kalors are a small unit of Warg riders that are mainly used as outriders and scouts to defend Raugz Sorr territory when not deployed in open combat.

-Ushtar (Army): Headed by the Uruk, Kurdan. The Ushtar is the main body of the Raugz Sorr. It is comprised of a small group of Uruk, as well as traditional orc units of swordsmen, pikemen, and archers.

-Girmus (Scouts): Headed by the Uruk, Woglug. Used as skirmishers and scouts, the Girmus assist in the protection of Raugz Sorr held lands. In combat, the Girmus is utilized to harass and gather information on enemy movements and dispositions.

-Nudertog (Civic corp): Headed by the Uruk, Silge. The Nudertog comprises the non-military arm of the Raugz Sorr. It is made up of slaves, and their handlers, as well as any orcs unfit for combat. The Nudertog is used to build structures, repair fortifications, farm, and handle any other labor tasking not given to the rest of the warband.

Resources:
WIP

Agenda and Concerns:
The lands held by Caran hold promise in the form of agriculture. With its location at the intersection of the river Caranduin and the Sea of Nurnen, Raugz Sorr is in possession of vast stores of fresh water. While the flow of the river has been tainted by the eruption of Mount Doom, construction still proceeds apace on the irrigation canals necessary to facilitate viable crops. The securing of a consistent supply of food and water is Raugz Sorr’s primary goal following the fall of Sauron.

Resource Allocation:
Wargs: 4 Points (20 total Wargs)
Uruk: 2 Points (≈200 Uruk)
Orcish Chirurgeons: 2 Points (2 Teams)
Goblin Slaves: 1 Point (≈125)
Human Slaves: 1 Point (≈200)
