A Change In Tactics

---

The only sound that filled the small, wooden home was the scratching of a quill on parchment.

The hand of the Ducis moved furiously over the fading parchment as she wrote replies to foreign dignitaries; it had been some time since she last addressed the outside world, and she was finding the exercise refreshing. Sighing, she rested her wrist for a moment, and glanced briefly around the room. It was a simple affair, sparsely decorated and with little adornment. The smouldering embers of a dying fire, lingered in the hearth, clinging to what life they had left and in the corner a mouse gnawed quietly on a crumb from some long forgotten meal. It was an acceptable abode she supposed; comfortable, in its own plain way. She picked up the quill again, and prepared herself to return to writing, when a small knocking alerted her to a visitor. Rising, she moved to the door, and opened it wide, glaring at that which dared interrupt her business.

The worn face of Tulius greeted her, with a more than apprehensive look. He seemed to take a moment to prepare himself, mentally, and perhaps physically, for what was to come.

"Ducis, I have the first reports from the war...." He spoke slowly, delaying the inevitable as long as he could. "It's not good." And with that confession, the words spilled from his mouth, tumbling over one another in an effort to escape from the prison of his throat. "3,700 men lost, and the entire navy destroyed. We took one fort with minimum casualties, but the others remain in enemy hands. The attack on the Lake Guard was ineffective. And that's not all. There are troubling reports from the South. Hightower has fallen. Our southern guards are reporting small bands of lizard raiding parties stealing away slaves in the night. They grow bolder by the day." Tulius froze, his voice lost once again in fear. Silence invaded the space between the two, as the Ducis stared at him, emotionless and cold. Tulius feared she may have died on the spot, until she erupted into a symphony of rage and anger.

"What?! How can this be?! Our men, my men, defeated by some abominations against humanity! What madness is this?!" She screamed, spittle flying from her wet lips. "And now you mean to tell me that some scaly bastards have taken over the home of the 9th Legion?! Truly the gods must hate us all! But no matter! We shall drive them back, and make them fear our name again! The north can wait, this act is a breach of the Empire's honour! Withdraw our troops from the northern border, and order them to attack this lizard host in Hightower!"

"Ducis I..." Tulius thought carefully about his next words, for his life hung in the balance. "The troops are weakened. They cannot defeat this host of lizards in their current state. If we stand any chance of beating them, we must better our forces."

The Ducis gripped the hilt of her sword, ready to end the life of the man who dared defy her, until a cruel snarl carved it's way across her lips. "Order the overseers to round up the weakest of our slaves. They shall form a new regiment in our forces; the Honour Guard. Train them until our forces are positioned along the Hightower border. Then send them into battle first, let them take the brunt of attack and tire the enemy, before our own forces swoop in and wipe every one of them from the face of the earth. Inform the slaves that should any one of them survive the battle, they will be granted the great honour of training more of their brethren for future slaughter. I expect my orders to be carried out swiftly Tulius. Dismissed."

Tulius hurried away, his whole body sighing with relief at the prospect of living to see another sunrise. Once he was out of sight, the Ducis returned to her writing and composed two letters, to be sent to their respective recipients immediately.

To Bahapore

To whomever commands the Bahaporian forces,

"I am withdrawing my men, for I have decided to spare you this once. Do not attack or provoke me further or you will not live to regret it."

The Ducis

To Frewyn

Toryllis Brosca,

I am pleased to hear that humanity has triumphed in the lands west of us. And indeed it fills me with joy to hear one speak with a passion to rival my own, about human superiority. While we are interested in your proposals, past events leave us in doubt of your trust. You abandoned the old empire in her time of need, how can we be sure you will not do the same to us? Provide us with military support in our campaign against the lizards to the south-east, as a sign of your commitment to our new relations. Then you shall have the alliance and resources you desire.

I won't be able to get a post up until tomorrow, sorry. I'm very tired right now, and anything I write will be sub-par, and it won't be something I'll be happy with. Apologies again.

I thought you wanted to save Hightower? The dice just gave you a vengeance mission, a matter of honor! The population just got massacred, a Lizard sits on the High Throne of a much beloved ex-Imperial citadel - surely that's enough of an RP excuse for you to pull your forces out of Boha.. Bahapore and head south?EDIT: Just realized you were talking about saving Hightower. So I assume you mean the battle between you and the lizards? I wasn't sure if you meant them or Titanic.

Yes I'm talking about saving Hightower! Those damn dirty lizards will feel my wrath!

SyrianHamster said
There goes Hightower. Updating map to include recent battles//new ownerships etc.

Oh balls! There goes my battle plan; the dice hate me obviously haha! I'm just going to go all in, reckless assault, it's victory or death for my army. If they should fall in the coming battle, then it's farewell to my nation! Once I post, I'll leave the fate of the battle in the dice's hands if you don't mind Syrian?

Titanic said
Dont see why you're retreating, I lost about half my fortified forces, you lost about 1/3.

Because I didn't want to have this war to begin with, but I am role playing, so I had to follow through. However, now I'm going to face raids from the south from those lizards, which are deemed a greater threat, so I will pull my forces back and deal with them instead.

:/ I was planning on his navy attacking Lake Guard for many days before the Elthana navy arrives, crushing the bohaddon navy from the west while my navy advances from the east. But having the entire navy destroyed works fine.Edit: I'll get a post in later with the results, my moves, and most of the reinforcements arriving, I think a week is enough time for all(except the Elthana navy and militia) to arrive.

Please do not have reinforcements arriving until I get to make a move. I may have lost a lot of people but I haven't lost everyone and I'm still fighting. Well I'll actually be retreating, but still.

SyrianHamster said
Fox, what fort/forts are you attacking? (check the map, on Titanic's posts)And Titanic, can you list the forces defending these forts? Be reasonable, I don't want your whole force suddenly appearing in one of the castles. Then I dice rollllllllllllllllllAs for the navy, I think I have the relevant information for that battle, considering Titanic is anchored at the port and Fox is charging them.

I'm attacking all three of the forts along the southern border; one military group per fort, at night. Basically all the Guards on his map.

Titanic said
I just need a quick war, got something important to do in this RP. Really important...

I also want this war to end quickly, and to that end, I'm not advancing past your forts should I capture them, I'll probably try and negotiate peace, and then retreat most of my troops.

Panda-Man, I'll respond to your diplomatic proposal in my next post when the Ducis hears the outcome of the battle, sorry about the wait!

I want to try a NRP. (Do you want to run it?)

Letter Bee said
Interested; I used to play NGs, but on a different format than what is currently used in this site. Actually, I want to know, how Nation Games done on this site?

Everybody does it differently but there are two main ways: stat based and free-form. Stat based is heavily reliant on stats and figures for role play e.g only 4,000 workers can be fed with 3,000 bushels of corn. Free-form is less reliant on facts and figures, with loose guidelines on how to behave IC and not be OP. Both of them usually feature combat outcomes being decided by players, with GM intervention if the players cannot reach a conclusion. Hope that helps answer your question. Also sorry for derailing this thread a bit, I'll leave now!
