Erebus continued to remain silent for the Planning. Still standing as a statue with his two chosen. While they made no moves and spoke no words, their presence could hardly be ignored. Not only by their Magical aura that snuffs all Mortals unfamiliar with the Ancient arts, but also by their figure so different from the other men in the room. Erebus didn't know if the others even knew what forces he had been deployed with or the grand feat that can only be described as miracles that they could accomplish. Erebus made sure to enlighten them. Completely coming out of no where, the stationary Iron clad Giant spoke up again. Continuing the Duke's mention of siege units. Again his voice boomed like thunder inside the tent. The dust around him jumped and danced as if to appease the War Master.

"The troops I bring with me can be assigned to any unit that seems fit for their use. My Chosen that you see before you can be sent to assist the Front line with myself, aiding any Heavy Infantry. Such as the Hoplites and the Famed ScaleGuard. My Holy Knights can also be situated behind those lines to provide aid in the arts of Restoration Magic. While my War Mages..."

Erebus's eyes, the fire that only showed through his Helmet, finally moved to look at the Duke. "My War mages can offer long range artillery to the enemy. We will see how well those Auxiliaries fight after witnessing their strongest blades melt down to a liquid pool of metal and their flesh fall off their bones, leaving nothing but a small pile of Ash to continue their so honored legacy..."

The War Master's tone turned from serious to excited quite fast. He caught himself and settled down, remaining silent with his eyes now trained at the Orc leader.
Don't worry. The weird boi Wizards are just gonna stay back and let your forces get slaughtered. Erebus couldn't care less if you forget to mention any of them going to battle. They might not even participate if not asked...

No, but really. I'll get a post up mentioning their use since probably none of the Commanders ICly know.
Oh, Shnap! I subscribed, but didn't say anything.

I never got to play the first iteration, but Im interested
We should definitely have a dedicated corps of medics, because it'll definitely get bloody.

If we do have healing mages, though, let's try and limit their power a bit, because our actions should have real consequences.


Implying my Mages will even help everyone on our side...

Edit: Also what @Zetsuko said. They will help anything that isn't insta death or keep someone who lost a limb to keep fighting some more. So they are Medics more over towards the end of the battle (While their epic spell is basically a true in the battle healing ray) and their support in the middle of battle.

So our injured number should be low, but it has trivial effects on actual, battlefield deaths. Their great with Heavy infantry for that purpose, since armored units will receives the smallest amount of damage for a long period of time, which is perfect for them. Light infantry and such they can only help so much.
@Thecrash20

...I would like to argue that my Uruk's didn't flee like cowards. They had fired their shots, they weren't hanging around for a counter attack in the event that the Empire launched an early attack to try and avenge their fallen officer.


Oh I agree with you. I just didn't know how else to put it lol. I took it as a hit and run Assassination attempt. One that probably could work in our favor due to them losing a commander, but sadly the Counsel of Wizards isn't really on the West or East side politically. So I had to make a move. Regardless GM said he wouldn't die.
@Bright_Ops

Maybe next time!
Mighty War Master... We are deploying you to the Maw. With a small detachment of Battle Mages from the Coven. About 20 men, of course you are granted to bring as many Chosen as you want, but you already know the level of danger of this mission by us sending you to this battle. Pick wisely... The Counsel request you to Capture all High ranking officials of the Empire, instead of bringing them to their death.

Why does the Counsel make this bold Request? Are we not enemies to the Empire? They Dare send their Angel of Death and ask mercy of him!?

Watch your tongue War Master! There is bigger plans happening beyond your comprehension. Bigger than even mines. You have your Orders War Master. Your purpose remains unchanged, you will smite the Warriors of the Empire with complete and total prejudice. Gather the Men tonight, you will be off to the Maw in the Morning. You are Dismissed War Master...

Erebus slammed his Gauntlet to his Armor's chest piece. A sign of Respect from those of the Coven. Turning slowly walking away from his Superior. Honor comes in so many forms. Apparently in a century, I still yet to understand all of them, General.




Erebus arrived to the Camp later than all his Allies that would fight in this battle. His unit arrived ahead of some of the Logistical carts that were sent by the Counsel. All the Battle Mages were riding Large armor clad War Horses. Taller than any Men and more heavily armored than most men could carry. Each of them were painted Midnight black, contrasting their Rider's ceremonial Armor and Robes. They quickly began to make Preparations, while Erebus rode off with the other leaders to the Parley.

He let the Nobles speak, he didn't have any say in these Matter's and felt nothing he could say was relevant. Alaric spoke the truth, there was no winning the Battle. If their was, Erebus wouldn't have been called to participate in this battle. Everything said was expected. Of course both sides were unwavering. This battle was going to be had, regardless if one or the other wanted it to. What wasn't expected was the Green skin to attack one of the officers. While it didn't really matter to him, Erebus had his orders. If he can help it, none of the High Ranking officers were to be saved and captured. The three bolts flew across the air, suddenly snapping midair and falling into the ground before it could hit the attended target. As the Ork ran scared, Rexus's horse bucked, feeling the Magic applied behind it. Erebus turned and slowly began to trod back to his Camp. Not staying long enough to see Rexus's reaction.

At the Strategy tent, Erebus stood further back from the allied commander's table. Two of his Chosen Flanking him, their Massive Blades dug into the ground and their Palms resting at the pommel. He wasn't in the position to lead the allied forces, just his own men. A dedicated auxiliary force.

After the Comment made by the Ork and Florian Józef Czaja's remark about the Green Skins. Erebus spoke out, his voicing deep and booming. Just a extension of the Power in his veins. "What do you know of the Green Skins? They are savage, but are not unintelligent in the matter's of war. Almost a century ago they laid the Sleeping dawn in siege and killed hundreds of Battle mages. A cruel but necessary lesson for the Counsel in humility and underestimation of Enemy forces. Most of my Kin slaughtered by assuming the Orcs were little but savage beasts... I am not not here to command any of your forces, but I agree with Florian. Not because the Orc's mannerisms, but their force they bring and their style of fighting is not suited for such light auxiliary units we currently will face."

Erebus stood still like a statue. His Flaming red eyes didn't move when he spoke, as if he was addressing no one.
@TJByrum I updated my sheet and posted it into the CS section. I also added a singular greek fire launcher thingy after doing some "extensive" research on the subject. (lol jk, read the Wikipedia page and an ancient warfare website article)

Now I can finally make an IC post! And work on the 3D model of the Wyvern. Gotta look fancy whilst killing Tyranny Slyver Empire villains.

Edit: Guys I have a plan. I don't wanna double post, so imma do it this way. What if we use all of our artillery pieces to launch dozens of propaganda fliers at the Zathii auxilaries so they rebel against the 6th Legion? Or have the mages do some kinda lightshow that spells out "rebel". Imagine how cool that would be.


I like it! Not all battle need to be won by the sword.
@Skepic

Goddammit, how am I supposed to get back home now?

Just next to the recently Rag dolled M1 Mech, Enyo's Wraith stood still. He was surprised she couldn't even see him, from this distance. He wasn't sure if that was a good think or bad thing. She didn't sound very pleased by his Radar Jamming, even though he usually white listed them immediately, this Pilot didn't even give him the chance.

As the Mk1 went soaring across the air and smashing down into pieces, Enyo spoke back through his external loud speaker. "Try asking again nicely...". As his words were being said, his Camo dropped from head to toe. Leaving his Mech back to it's bland Tan color. In a matter of seconds Alexi was staring down the barrel of Ghost's Rifle. Aimed directly at the cockpit of her Mech. "So, I hear you're having a Pit roast soon?" Enyo said, followed up with a light hearted laugh.

Alexi's Radar should of been cleared up by now. Being whitelisted by Enyo moments before he dropped his Cloak.
