"fort rape.png".
I can't-NOT-notice that. xD

Anyway, if nobody objects, im going to start writing up how your battle went with what i had from before.

Later, we can hatch a DED KUNNIN plan to ambush the orcs in the north. Send some scouts at night to see if they can find a Defensible Orc Encampment.
Then, sneak out at night, and storm it, killing all Orcs present.
Hold it against immediate retaliation, but try to make it back to the main fort by nightfall.

Doing this, the combination of Baiting and sniping, using Firewalls to split the orc advance, and Assassinating at nightfall, should weaken them enough to just punch on through.

SAGE GOES IN ALL FIELDS

>>10728577
Yeah, we've mostly decided to use bait-and-shoot traps that utilise the fort's superior defensive cover, perhaps with some land mines or other traps to split the orc advance (and give local superiority). Go for it!

Their leader is in that cluster of red to the northwest. Take him out and they should fall fairly easy. Also, the north is sparsely populated.

>>10728577
Have Baron work out any flaws we have in our plan :))

>>10728609

uh...

Guys, this place had 3(!) units of gold. That means there is gold mine somewhere near!

>>10728715
There are also Orcs near!
We'd better retreat for now. We can stage more expeditions later, once we're better prepared to KILL ORCS.

>>10728730
FFFF expeditions its war time.

>>10728730
Yeah, that also...
Bur it something to keep in mind. It also very far away from our settlement.

Year 463 of our holy mother, January

As the weeks moved on, the food supply in the abandoned settlement slowly began to dwindle, moral had fallen significantly. Not many people believed that they were going to make it out alive. Baron Kaufmann collaborated with Captain Petrovski on a plan.

At 12pm on the tuesday, the gate way to the fort was opened up and several militiamen stood at the gate and began to fire into the wood line, with hunters on the walls also firing. slowly and surely, the orc force began to amass and charged towards the town. As the bait had worked, the militia and hunters fell back towards the keep as the orcs began to pour in. A earthshattered detonation went off as the gatehouse exploded, taking an ungodly number of orcs with it. But this did not frighten the savages, who processed to start climbing over the rubble in an attempt to dismember the garrison.

The first firing line opened up as they came in, felling a few orcs before retreating into the fort itself, running past the second firing line who covered their retreat, before running to the fort as well, covered by the gunners in the fort itself. The two large doorways into the fort had been kept open, but a 4 foot high barricade put up to imped the orcs progression into the fort itself, defended by 30 marines. The rest of the garrison took up place in the firing slits located all over the fort, pouring down fire onto the advancing savages.

>>10728776
WARCRIES.
ALL OF THEM.
LOUDLY.

>>10728776
Oh fuck, they are on that substance again aren't they?

>>10728776
Please tell me we spent most of the month making ammo and stockpiling ammo and we didn't waste ammo.
Please tell me we are not out of ammo.
We have ammo left, yes?

Come on breastplates... Come on breastplates.

Also can we get a kill count for Captain Petrovski if he goes into combat?

>>10728776
MAXIMUM WAR CRIES VERY LOUDLY! ATTRACT ORCS AND INSPIRE SOLDIERS!
The more orcs die now, the less we have to kill sneakily later!

>>10728835

We had ammo for 40 shots for each man. The battle would be long over before we went out of it.
I guess we spend maybe half of that for detonation but still there's ammo a plenty.

>>10728839
>Also can we get a kill count for Captain Petrovski if he goes into combat?
One. ;)

>>10728806
>>10728845

Oh yes, raise the morale!

We already put a significant dent in their numbers. For now this goes good.

The suspense.. its killing me!

By this time it seemed that all of the new world was marching into the settlement, looking for blood. The roar of the orc force deafening the defenders who stood against these beasts. They smashed against the walls of the fort as if a wave against a beach, with men on the second floor worrying they'd even be able to climb in. For hours the battle raged with the savages being herded into the killzone, 1000s of rounds being fired, blood running like a river through the settlement, the stench of death and gunpowder stinging the nosterals.

The captain stood at the gate along side his men, slashing his sabre at the savages, his voice bellowing out to rally his men 'HOLD FAST, HOLD FAST' he cried through the battle, slaying dozens of the beasts with his musket and bayonet. When it was snatched out of his hands by one of the beasts, he pulled his sabre and began to slash at the beasts

But where was the baron? All around the fort there were many different men, tiefling, human, dwarf, even a goblin, but the Fessian baron was nowhere to be seen, nor his men. Had the Mercenary escaped with his countryman in the chaos of battle? Had they been caught in the open when the orcs charged into the settlement. For hours the battle lasted, the orcs trying to get into the bottle neck of the fort. Captain Petrovski stood fast with his men, this band of brothers, intending to hold his ground until the last man, willing to keep fighting til the last breath.

At 4pm, the flow of the battle would be defined.

>>10728983
God damn it that baron better not have been sleeping on the fucking job again.

>Had the Mercenary escaped with his countryman in the chaos of battle?

Nah, I doubt that. Baron would not miss a great fight and he's defiantly not a coward.
I assume he's going charge at the last moment to save the day by flanking them or something.

>>10729068
That's what we would like to believe but... even if he runs and makes it back to Serenity its such a bad lose.

>>10729095
No! I refuse to believe that.
Baron cannot be a coward! D:

The baron, who had hidden his men in some of the town houses, the orcs either too stupid or in too much of a blood rage to even check. At 4pm he charged foward with his countrymen on his white stallion in the afternoon sun. Their horses charging through the the puddles of blood that had formed into the green river of live orcs. The Baron let his voice belly like the beast of below the earth, almost matching that of the savages.

The charge broke into the lines of orcs, the Fessians Letting their pistols break the backs of their enemies, disgarding them as if a piece of trash and changing to their polearm, slashing at them as if harvesting grain. No quarter was to be given, No prisoners were to be taken. The battle would be won here or lost. These men would either be heroes of serenity or would be left to be recorded in history books as the faceless men who gave up their lifes in a valiant last stand. But Alas, even the powerful beastmen couldn't stand up to this, and began to flee.

Petrovski Charged forward with what little standing men he had left, his sabre long since lost in the body of a fallen orc and relying on but just a hachet he had retrieved. His red skin drenched in the blood of the orcs, almost head to toe. If there was such a thing as a demon, Captain Petrovski in this very moment would have been it, his eyes lite up like fire, the hatred of his enemy burning strong as he cut them down left and right, pushing them out of the settlement with the Fessians.

By battles end over 50 serenity troops had died, not a man that day could say he did not have a wound. Petrovski lost count at 40. The battle for dukes keep has gone down as the most glorious and valient defense of colonial forces in the entire new world, the names of the men being widely known

-27 marines
-14 milita
-4 hunters
-10 fessians

+1,356 orcs killed.

>>10729147
Right. Loot the camp and get the FUCK back to serenity before anyone else shows up.
Did the orcs have anything worth taking?

>

HOOOORAAAY!!!

We wrote history today!!!

>>10729213
When they get back we really must have this written down. As well as one hell of a feast for the men.. the dead will be added to the memorial.

>>10729195

Yeah, collect spoils of war and GTFO.

Have bigass parade for the heroes. Give medals to everyone and shit. Write the names of the fallen in the memorial. Sen battle report to the Homeland and request more troops from the King. I believe this valiant victory will make us much more popular and we'll get more troops than regular, maybe even be permitted to train our own force. Also say that you believe there might be big gold deposit in the area but couldn't search for it.

What is this game?

I told you Baron was hardcore!

>>10729282
I stand corrected.

The Captain as well... man does not know how to die..

>>10729296
Yeah, he should be permitted to grow military horns at least 3 inches more!

The Garrison of the settlement spent the night in the fort, not wanting to travel through the woods in the darkness. Petrovski, despite his greivious wounds stood watch his his men, not letting his eyes fail him once. Come Daylight, they set out immediately, loading up those dead and too wounded to walk onto the wagons and marching outwards back to serenity.

They encountered occasional pockets of resistance, but had for the most part destroyed the entire army of the stathborn nation. By weeks end they were back in serenity.

This is the end of january.

Oh, Duck, you didn't answer my question before so here it goes again.

>Hey, Duck, btw hoe is or dwarven population doing?
>If you are following basic dwarven stereotype, dwarf should have high proficiency towards engineering, mining, blacksmithing and mechanical workings. Is that so?

>>10729337

Make a glorious speech for our heroes, tell them that our country men were revenged or something similar like that.

>>10729364

Oh, medals and shit. Give monetary presents as well.

Did we get the +3 units of gold?

>>10729364

next thread will have glorious speech, feast, etc. Today im finished, but im more than willing to stay around to answer any questions about the settings background, characters or anything else.

>>10729341
i answered you, i said dwarfs are Varinian in nationality and culture.

>>10729379

Yes, the gold and muskets were taken back.

>>10729393
Oh, sorry, I missed that.
So they have no racial perks or whatever?

>>10729393
>Today im finished,

Aww

>>10729407

Their only perk really is they are slightly stronger than humans and sturdier.

Oh also, i REALLY need somebody to help me with a world map.

>>10729449
I've been over this. E-mail me with some details and I'll try to create one. Do you want a world map that you can draw buildings on, or just for looks? Ideas on continent count, amount of water, etc.?

>>10729439
Ah, well, I thought to look for proficient mechanist and engineers in their group for making new gun designs but I guess we'll just have to search from all of the populace.

>>10729498
(This is Zack, saging to prevent new people from coming in at this point. xD)

>>10729498

I dont want to put buildings on it, i just want a map of all the continents on the globe for me to draw political borders.

>>10729393
I don't really have anymore questions, just wanna play more D:

Anyway, the tags in the archive have been fucked up again. Use "colonial quest", "colony quest" and "colonial" in future.
OP, you might want to include links to the previous threads at the beginning of each session so new people can easily find them.

>>10729671

Yeah, i always intend too but i keep forgotting. Anyway, next time we can expect to see Petrovski getting a promotion, more depth about the heretic situation with a colony wide panic and much more.

>>10729746
Cool.
I hope you put forth plans for police/investigation office.

Also, maybe we could ask for inquisitor to visit out colony? But first we need to know the nature of inquisitors as they might become pain in the ass rather than help.

>>10729787

Inquisitioners, not matter the setting, are ALWAYS assholes, we'd probably just arrest the colonial government and replace it.

>>10729890
Ok, ok, no inquisitors

>>10729941

But yes, i have plans for a police force as one is REALLY needed by normandy.

>>10729993

Good,

Can we at least ask for specialists in that field? So that we can train up our own police more efficiently.

>>10730063

Of course, when your ship returns too Narina.

>>10730193
Good, gotta do that too.


You know, some more exposition would be nice. Introduce new interesting characters, build up the ones we have. I gotta say that our marriage is kind of uninteresting, there have been virtually no interaction with Duchess before marriage. The sub-thread on characters was a nice touch but not enough.

>>10730350

The marriage was a political marriage, hence why little interaction. If you want more interaction from characters, its up to you folks to send them places and get them to do things.

>>10730465
...yeah, I guess so. But I am bad at role playing. Hoped someone else would do that )

>>10731180

Its not really roleplaying, you just say 'Duchess goes too this settlement and negotiates a trade agreement'
