Fantasy The War (Players Needed)

[Moolock]

Em tapped her fingers on the desk she'd been given quite nervously as Murc would usually be back by now. There would be guards outside her door, no doubt, so exploring the castle was off limits. The room itself was nicely furnished in an impersonal way, as if anyone could stay there and call it home, but remain apart from the feel of the room as there was nothing to suggest a unique flair.- and where the heck was her friend? A tumbling noise quickly followed by a light crash jolted the mage from her thoughts and she turned around with a smile to see the lizard scamper toward her toting her worn leather supply bag. Scooping up the greenish lizard into a hug, she released a low purr-like noise. "Good job, my little friend."


She set the excited creature and went to her bag, pressing the flaps open to see its contents. He brought her quills, brush, the ink to go with them, blank notebooks, filled notebooks, and of course her spell scrolls. In a pocket to the side of the bag also rested a change of clothes and a half-dozen spare aura pendants. Em took the broken crystal off its chain and slid on a milky white one set in silver. Upon clasping it, at once she felt her aura squeeze and fight against the cap. Only a small bit ebbed out, just the amount to come off as a less-than-powerful mage. With Murc in the corner playing with puffs of steam, she took her quill and notebooks and set down to writing and studying.

Kais sighed as it appeared there was not damage to the walls, trying to think to himself. "Everyone! Move the damn thing behind the mountain!" A rebel sprinted towards him, apparently a spotter. "Looks like we woke them up... soldiers... lots of them." Drake simply gave a smile, and started to push the damn thing as well. "We retreat for now. We cannot stand against an entire kingdom." Eventually, it started to roll down the slope at a medium pace, along with the others. "If worse comes to worse... we abandon it. I do not want to lose any lives today, nor tomorrow. Let's go! Hurry up!" He thought for a moment, however shook it off. "Anyone who isn't pushing this damn thing, form a gunline. First target you see, fire! If we go down today... We take as many of these bastards with us!"

Tina nodded at Galandor and then went out. Bellatrix would open the barrier (Hope it's OK I just assumed she did it for a second @xEmoBunnehx ) and Tina hoped out as the innocent girl she was. She had no visible weapons and looked very scared when she approached the men that had fired the cannon. "Excuse me, but there was this really loud noise... It scared me and I lost my way...", she stated with tears rolling down her face. She was fast enough to dogde any bullet fired at her, but she would prefer and try not just not need to.

Aermik sighed looking at his armor, donning it with a grim look on his face. He knew what was about to happen. What he was about to do. He put on his helmet and his eyes dulled a bit. The brightness fading he did so. Then came his breastplate and leg armor. His body began to pulsate, his muscles shaking a bit. He shook his head, forgetting his conscience. It would have to wait. It was irrelevant at this point. He moved out to the courtyard, mounting a skeletal horse and patting it. A canon was fired. There was a detachment. He would ensure that there was not a Canon and that there wasn't a detachment.

Well, to test her might on the Emperor was a fun offer. Elsbeth assumed a stance familiar to her, in which she wielded her blades in an open stance, leaving her guard wide open, almost as a sort of taunt. Suddenly, as she was about to charge, the earth underneath them shook, and threw her off-balance. "H-huh!?", she shouted out of reflex. An attack!? Who would fire artillery at the castle, during the midst of a peace treaty creation? Though, an attack would be pretty cunning at a time like this. It frustrated her to no end that it interrupted the spar, as she was about to relight her flames of battle. Elsbeth guessed that the plains of battle would be a better use of their skills currently, in the meantime.


"Alright, Blaze Guard! I, General Elsbeth Naman'ic, swear on an oath to protect the castle without fault! Do you take the oath alongside me, knowing of the dangers!?". She knew the Blaze Guard might not accept her just yet, but she tried her very hardest to do the Emperor's men good. As she heard a roar of accepting cheer, she charged toward the gates, with the best command she could muster. "Form an arrow formation in front of the gate - let the vanguard lead the defensive and the rear guard, support the vanguard and make sure none of the enemy breaks through! ". Frankly, she was mimicking a book of basic tactics that she had read when she was younger, which had only made her more aware of her past decisions. "Look out for any projectiles in particular - Keep communications swift, strong and concise!". Elsbeth took her place up near the gates herself, ready to lead the vanguard herself if any person dared try to get in.

(Sorry 'bout the delay - been drafting it all day on mobile, not had a chance to send it. Kinda' hard to keep up with a RP that continues mainly when you sleep. )

(Totally feel that. Whenever I sleep.I must read through 3 pages after.)

"Who the hell..." Kais signaled for the others to keep on moving, and was left behind, glaring at the newcomer. "If you were scared, you'd run away. Speak." He pulled out his pistol, and aimed it at her head. "Normally... I wouldn't shoot little girls... but... Trust is a huge factor..." He was alone now, seeing the rebels leaving over the horizon. "Tell the others to be afraid. For next time, it will be more than one shot." He turned around, slipping the gun away, and started to walk, keeping an eye over his shoulder. @Ami the breadling @xEmoBunnehx @Pandorian

 

[The Fluffiest Floof]

Tina did not react at the gun. "Wait. I am lost. I came to you because I could not go into the kingdom. There is some kind of barrier. Please I need help... I am Tina...", she said, running after the man.


@Arty

 

[Arty]

Kais had all of the right to be suspicious. But he knew when people needed help. "Fine. Follow me then..." He sighed, and started to walk, however, in a different direction than the rest. "I'll let you stay at my little place." He found it odd that she didn't react towards the gun, and it downright scared him. "What kingdom are you from..." Strange person...

Tina thought a moment. "Well I was born in the air kingdom. But my parents and the rest of our small clan got killed in a bandit raid and they took me hostage for a long time. Then I fled and got adopted by my new family. They are roaming with me as they flee from bandits as well. But I lost them...", she explained.


@Arty

 

[Arty]

"Bandits..." He sighed, and kept on walking. "The distance is a little long... we might have to camp somewhere soon..." He groaned as he looked at the sun starting to dip below. "Fucking great... So anyways... why were you near the dark kingdom?" He eyed her, watching for anything. @Ami the breadling

 

[The Fluffiest Floof]

Tina put a finger to her mouth thinkingly. "I don't really know. I remember that we travelled with a group and wanted to make a halt in the next kingdom we would find. And near to the one here, which appears to be the dark kingdom, we heard that sound and the ground shook and everyone panicked. I got tossed around in the crowd and then lost my parents...", she said. It was totally believable, if she was acting, it was impossible to tell.

Aermik patted his steed as he rode off, skeletal hooves hitting the ground as the horse sped on, faster than a living one could. A canon that large was easy to identify. Their vicinity was known. He just had to make it before they got away. He galloped through streets, people swarming the sides with a mixture of panic and preparedness. They were scared, but they knew such an event was always within possibility. These were civilians, people who wished to stay clear of fighting. But they were civilians who were necromancers, undead, werewolves, vampires, and demons. They would defend what was theirs should they be required. He rode towards the mountain, closing his eyes for a moment. If he solved this problem, then none of his soldiers had to die. A large force was slow, and that cannon could cause mass casualties. A lone elite though could use guerrilla tactics, end the conflict before such a large weapon could be used again.

"Well, we should walk back towards the area, no? Listen kid... We can walk back, and get you back with your group. I just need to gather some things at my place." He sighed, his back starting to hurt again. "Not that pain anymore..." Each step now grunted with effort, and he started to limp as well. @Ami the breadling

 

[The Fluffiest Floof]

Tina ran before him. "Whats wrong, can I help? Do you need medicine? Should I go to these other men you were with and search a doctor among them?", she concernedly stared.

[Gabe]

Galandor stood atop the walls, looking at the horizon. The enemy was retreating, taking a humongous cannon with them. "What the hell is that..." He put away his swords, still staring in the horizon. "We're still trapped inside the barrier, so we can't give chase. I feel this isn't the last time we may see these attackers." he looked at the rebels, defeated. "At least we're glad that this barrier is up, who knows what damage were to be done if this wasn't up." He got down from the wall, signaled the soldiers to rendezvous and dismissed them once again. Approaching Elsbeth, he sighed. "This day is getting better and better. First a traitor, then a direct attack. I wouldn't be surprised if a tarrasque attacked us as well... Anyway, good job taking care of your troops." He smiled. "This is all we can do for now. Maybe I'll talk to Bellatrix, se if she can give us something to travel between this spell. In the meanwhile, would you like to resume the spar?"


@xEmoBunnehx @Pandorian

 

[Arty]

"I'm fine." Kais mumbled out. Eventually, they arrived to a small cottage in a small forest, with him instantly going inside, and sitting on a small chair. "Fucking back..." Inside the room, was several chairs, a table, and a bed. There was another room, however, the door was locked. @Ami the breadling

 

[The Fluffiest Floof]

Tina quickly followed. She looked around and sat on the bed. With a kids curiosity in her eyes, she pointed at the door. "Whats behind this?"


@Arty

 

[Arty]

"Several projects of mine... Want to see?" He smiled, and opened the door, walking inside. @Ami the breadling (Sorry for short reply xD )

 

[The Fluffiest Floof]

Tina happily followed. "Projects? That sounds so cool! Are you like a inventer or engineer?", she impressedly muttered. @Arty (np)

 

[Pandorian]

Sheathing her blades, almost in disappointment, she turned toward Galandor. "I'm don't think we'd be able to catch up at this point, anyway. Aermik seemed eager to want to go after them himself - Can't blame him...". If she were to describe the day herself, she would refer it to as a bunch of ups and downs. Well, mainly one big hill up then a lot of hills down. On the topic of her troops, she spoke; "Well, they're still yours. I may of led them, but they're still your Blaze Guard. I'd rather not say they're mine until I've at least been more... formally introduced.". Elsbeth, of course, referred to them making her position official back in Orbis. "As for our spar... I'm still up for it. It's not as if the cannoneers wanted to put up much of a fight, after all. Should we have an audience, or would you rather keep it more private? I'm sure some of the troops would love a friendly spar. Even if it is just secretly to see me getting taken down.". In her admittance, she smiled. Elsbeth knew that it probably wasn't going to be true, but the joke was too topical to miss nonetheless. Anything to keep the mood up. "..We best hurry though, because sleep might threaten to take me soon enough!"





@Raizel @xEmoBunnehx

 

[Gabe]

The soldiers of the Blaze Guard, still around, heard the talk, and warily approached their king and (new) general. Galandor looked around, a circle forming around them. "Alright, it's on. Once again: I won't retaliate, for now. Attack me with all you got." The soldiers opened the circle more, allowing maneuver on the inside. "Alright soldiers, pay attention. You might wanna learn a thing or two. And maybe a chance to see me in combat..." He grinned. The soldiers started cheering, some for their King, and some for their general. "Now, begin!"

"More so an inventor..." Inside the room was an array of different muskets, cannons, and firearms of all sizes and shapes. Each had several notes, such as "Range low" and others. There was a small cabinet, with a demon's head inside. Surprisingly, it was still alive. "It's hard to work with these. I mean... people always prefer magic... but one day, it'll go obsolete." @Ami the breadling
