Ahh, understood. I made the appropriate edits, and added a bit.

 

[Leusis]

Just wondering but what's happening with Belanor and Orm while the twins are off fighting?

 

[Beckoncall]

Can't write everything at once, good man... Turning the dice, and contemplating motives. Hoping to post soon. Sorry for suspense.

 

[Leusis]

So much suspense. You've got me scared I'm gonna lose the twins.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Well then. That escalated quickly.

 

[Beckoncall]

Powderkegs and matches, @Heyitsjiwon ... Powderkegs and matches...

 

[Beckoncall]

So much suspense. You've got me scared I'm gonna lose the twins.

@Leusis


I would say that matter rests firmly in your hands -- with no orders forthcoming, you'll have to decide how they'll handle to situation, or otherwise think of a way to somehow effect the dynamic...

 

[SpiralErrant]

Yo there party people! How we all doing today?

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Not bad. Waiting on the edge of my seat to see how this all develops.

 

[SpiralErrant]

I know right? Another classic day in the new world! Me and Leusis are collating on our end of things a bit so hopefully have our actions up later tonight xD

 

[Leusis]

Trying to work out a way where we can all get out of this alive lol.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

^ That would be ideal.


Edit: Well then, so much for diplomacy.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

Did not have internet for two, nearly three, days so.. YAY reading time........................... for a few hours to catch it all up

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Welcome back. You almost missed the party.


Edit: Also, there's no cake. The cake is a lie.

 

[Beckoncall]

It's just great to have you on, buddy -- so sorry if you're having a hassle!

 

[Leusis]

@General Deth Glitch Welcome back, lets hope you can get a post in on the gnoll encounter and help out with any soldiers you brought along. Should be fun.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

yes need read that

 

[Beckoncall]

Processing combat at the river -- or rather typing post-process. Stay tuned.


BTW: THANKS AGAIN to everybody who is flagging my (and other peoples posts) to let them know you're reading and what you liked and/or felt about them... it's done a lot to keep me invested. Game on!

 

[SpiralErrant]

Eep that casualty list. Looks like my blood pressure's not going down any time soon.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

Can I plez know how the battle is actually going on, I have read a lot of it still seem to be at a loss. Then Maeder and his men can dive in and try to help.

 

[Beckoncall]

Summary as follows:


1) Elves confuse "Ambush" for "Diplomatic Overture"


2) Gnolls do not respond well to this, and draw weapons/raise alarm


3) Elves obliterate Gnolls for raising alarm.


4) Masked-folk show up to sabotage meeting of colonists/gnolls, happy to discover it's already happened.


5) Countrymen, Orm + Rahg and elves cross bridge -- but everyone but Orm and Belanor fall back when it becomes apparent it's tits-up


6) Winterborn elves hack up a lot of masked-folk in the woods, because Belanor tells them to.


7) Gnolls take potshots into tyren camp with shortbows, and line up a regiment to pin/capture Orm/Belanor


8) Elven Archers repel shortbows, mostly.


9) Minotaurs throw big rocks at Gnolls


10) Minotaurs throw REALLY big rock Gnolls


11) Orm & Belanor use diversion of rock to fall back, escaping capture


12) Attolian detatchment arrives


13) Looks like fight at bridge is over, but a counter-offensive is still possible if desired.


14) Gnolls and masked folk will be fighting in the woods whether you guys jump in or not.

 

[SpiralErrant]

Personally I'm conflicted on that note. Enough tyren civilians have been caught up in this that withdrawl and healing is the safest bet but if all four groups could add troops to it then a counter-offensive may be a viable option.

 

[Leusis]

Belanor would likely suggest healing the wounded first and come back to clean up the remaining gnolls and masked people when they're almost done fighting.

 

[SpiralErrant]

That sounds like the safest plan.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

You mean... stop fighting both before its started for me, apparently, and before its completely finished.... I dont know...
